Schedule D, Part III, Line 1	Due to the immateriality of the university's collections of art or historical treasures, these assets are not disclosed in the financial statements. Schedule D, Part III, Line 4 The university holds a Charles Dickens collection, a Bernard Brenner sculpture collection, a rare book and manuscript collection, as well as other works of art. These pieces are used by the faculty to further their research and curriculum.
Schedule D, Part V, Line 4	The intended use of the endowment funds is to support the programs of the university, including scholarships, faculty teaching and research, library resources, and maintenance. The university has adopted investment and spending policies for its endowment and similar funds that attempt to provide a predictable stream of funding for its programs. To satisfy its long-term rate-of-return objectives, the university relies on a total return approach in which investment returns are achieved through both capital appreciation (realized and unrealized gains) and current yield. To achieve its long-term objectives within prudent risk parameters, the university targets a diversified asset allocation. The university observes a spending rule with respect to total return (interest, dividends, and appreciation) on investments of the endowments and similar funds. Under the spending rule, the university appropriated 4.9% of its endowment and similar funds' average unit fair value for the previous twelve quarters, one year removed, for the year ended June 30, 2016.
Schedule D, Part X, Line 2	The university is generally exempt from federal and state income taxes. Management annually reviews for uncertain tax positions along with any related interest and penalties and believes that the university has no uncertain tax positions that would have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, upon the university's consolidated statements of financial position, or the related consolidated statements of activities, or cash flows.

Form 990, Part I, Line 20	The university has elected to file Form 990 on a consolidated basis, a basis consistent with its audited financial statements, and has included the activity of Washburn Park Inc., a separate 501(c)(3) organization which also filed Form 990 for the year ended June 30, 2016. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, Washburn Park Inc had net assets of $32,881,726; revenue of $811,169; and expenses of $2,325,893. Form 990, Part III, Line 1 (continued) This educational process is true to the founders' directive to create, to discover, and to convey knowledge at the frontiers of academic inquiry for the betterment of society. Knowledge is created and discovered in the scholarly activities of faculty and students ranging across educational methodology, professional practice, and basic research. Knowledge is conveyed through scholarly publication and instruction. http://www.wpi.edu/about/mission.html) Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b THE FORM 990 WAS PREPARED BY TAX ADVISORS FROM A NATIONAL ACCOUNTING FIRM IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S MANAGEMENT. MANAGEMENT REVIEWS THE COMPLETED FORM 990 WITH THE TAX ADVISORS AND THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. AFTER APPROVAL BY THE AUDIT COMMITTEE, MANAGEMENT PROVIDES THE FORM TO ALL TRUSTEES FOR REVIEW PRIOR TO FILING WITH THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c	As part of the university's conflict of interest policy, all university trustees, officers, and key employees (as defined under IRS rules) are required to submit annually a conflict of interest disclosure statement, in which they affirm that they: (a) have received a copy of the university conflict of interest policy; (b) have read and understood the policy; (c) agree to comply with the policy and; (d) understand that the university, as a tax-exempt organization, must restrict its activities primarily to those for which its tax-exempt status was granted. Additionally, as part of the annual disclosure statement process, trustees, officers and key employees of the university are asked to outline in a separate letter any potential conflicts of interest and any significant financial interest with the university or any university-related entity. All annual disclosure statements are submitted to the university compliance officer, who reviews them, consolidates the comments and presents a report to the audit committee. Upon receipt of the compliance officer's report, the audit committee reviews the findings and takes any necessary and appropriate action. The audit committee then reports to the Board of Trustees on the findings and any actions taken by the committee. Any trustee with a conflict of interest recuses himself or herself from any Board or committee decisions related to that conflict.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15	The process for determining compensation for the university's president and other top management is modeled after the requirements in Federal Regulations 53.4958-6(a), rebuttable presumption that a transaction is not an excess benefit transaction, to establish the presumption of reasonable compensation. Compensation is reviewed and approved by the compensation committee of the Board of Trustees comprised of independent persons. By engaging an independent compensation consultant, the committee considers comparable market data from published surveys and Federal Form 990s of comparable organizations in evaluating the compensation for each individual. The committee conducts a review of this comparability data, sets compensation within a range of comparable organizations, and documents its deliberation and discussion in minutes that are retained with the other governance materials of the university.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19	The university maintains copies of its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements on its website (www.wpi.edu).
Form 990, Part XI, Line 9	Net unrealized Loss on beneficial interest in trusts -$1,415,840 Change in value of split-interest agreements -$71,482 Net unrealized losses on SWAPS -$2,432,865 _________________________________________________________________ total -$3,920,187
