Schedule D, Part V, Line 4Southwestern Law School's endowment fund primarily provides financial assistance in the form of scholarships to Southwestern law students. The endowment fund also provides Professorships for Southwestern faculty and supplemental operating income.
Schedule D, Part X, Line 2The Law School is exempt from federal income taxes pursuant to Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Law School has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service indicating that they qualify for tax-exempt status. The Law School is also exempt from California income taxes under the related State provisions. Management believes that the Law School will continue to be exempt from taxes. As of July 1, 2010, the Law School adopted accounting guidance related to uncertain tax positions. In accordance with this guidance, Management is required to determine whether a tax position of the Law School is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Derecognition of a tax benefit previously recognized could result in the Law School recording a tax liability that would reduce net assets. The Law School has reviewed all significant tax positions for material tax jurisdictions including the U.S. federal and California state tax jurisdictions for which the statute of limitations remained open which is generally three years for federal and state taxes and four years for California. The open tax years are 2012 through 2016 for federal and 2011through 2016 for California tax years and determined there were no material unrecognized tax benefits. However, the statue can be extended if there was a failure to file a necessary tax return. In addition, there have been no material changes in unrecognized benefits since July 1, 2015, nor are any anticipated in the 12 months following June 30, 2016. However, management's conclusions regarding this policy may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, on-going analyses of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. There have been no related tax penalties or interest, which would be classified as operating or interest expense in the statement of operations.
Schedule D, Part XI, Line 4bFinancial statements include student financial aid of $8,622,346 as a reduction of revenue while the 990 records this amount as an expense.

ExplanationSchedule I, Part I Line 2 - and Schedule I Part III, Line 1 - Southwestern Law School offers a number of scholarships from income provided by gifts from donors as well as its own general funds. Qualifications for amounts of scholarships vary, but the determination of awards is generally based on financial need and scholastic achievement, as well as the amount of funds available. Schedule I Part III, Line 2 - Federal Work-study Grants are awarded to assist student in meeting their educational expenses through part-time employment, and to encourage them to participate in community service activities. Once funds have been approved by Financial Aid office, the student must secure a position through an eligible employer. Schedule I Part III, Line 3 - Faculty Research Grants are awarded for faculty research in accord with written policies, based on annual written applications from full-time members of the faculty. The applicant's record of compliance with the terms of previous stipend awards, assessment of the prior and proposed research and available funds are all considered. The Dean and the Dean of Research make recommendations to the Trustee Committee on Educational Policy, which makes its recommendation to the Board of Trustees. Schedule I Part III - Regarding professorships, the Dean makes recommendations to the Board of Trustees of those Professors of Law to be named to Professorships and Endowed Chairs, and the Board acts to bestow the honor of this status, generally for a term of years. Distinction in research and quality teaching are essential. Where donor restrictions on a particular professorship or Chair call for subject matter expertise or other qualifications, those restrictions are taken into account as well. There were no professorships awarded during the current year.ExplanationTxt

ExplanationArbitrage procedures were performed on October 9, 2008 and based on the findings there were no and will be no rebate liability for these bonds. There was no positive arbitrage earnings created with the refunding proceeds. There were not enough sale proceeds used for issuance costs to generate possible arbitrage during the computation period. The bond fund was a bona fide debt service fund and accordingly the bond fund is not subject to rebate. There was no reserve fund established for the bonds. There were not unexpended proceeds of the refunded bonds that could become transferred proceeds of the bonds. There were no replacement proceeds of the bonds. Due to all of these factors there is no rebate liability for these bonds.ExplanationTxt
