Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDesc	ExplanationExplanationTxt
Schedule J, Part II, Column (B)(i) Base compensation	James Michael Hardin, Provost and Vice President, is an ordained minister and is eligible to claim a nontaxable ministerial benefit. As a result, his W-2, Box 1 reportable compensation excludes certain nontaxable benefits such as a nontaxable ministerial allowance and 403(b)/457 employee deferrals. These nontaxable benefits are reported on Schedule J, columns C and D. For comparison purposes, if he were not an ordained minister, his compensation would be reported as follows on Schedule J: B(i) $256,364, B(iii) $9,356, C $5,452, D $19,134 and E $290,306. Note there is no difference in the total compensation reported in Column E. Form 990, Part VII, Section A, Columns D and F would also reflect these differences, but the total amounts would remain the same.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a Travel for companions	The First Lady of the University often travels with the President for University business. She serves as executive director of Samford's Legacy League, an auxiliary volunteer organization that promotes advocacy for the University and raises scholarship funds. She also serves on the Dean's Executive Council for the University's School of Education, utilizing her Masters and Doctorate degrees in education, and coordinates or participates in certain international programs requiring travel.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a Housing allowance or residence for personal use	The University provides a residence for the President's use. The President and First Lady frequently host a significant number of events and individuals in their home.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a Health or social club dues or initiation fees	The University provides social club dues and fees to 5 of its officers and key employees. The officers and key employees use the clubs to host University events, and their personal use is de minimus.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a Personal services	Housekeeping services at the President's home are provided by a housekeeper who is an employee of the University. These services are considered necessary given the number of University events held at the President's home, and the fact that all areas, including personal quarters, are open and available for viewing during these events.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 4b Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan	The University and the president entered into a 457(f) deferred compensation agreement effective November 1, 2015. All amounts elected to be side aside remain the sole property of the University until paid per this agreement. The University contributed $46,932 this year.
