SchD_P05_S00_L04Schedule D, Part V, Line 4The intended use of the restricted endowment funds are dictated by the donor which are predominantly for instructional purposes and scholarships. Earnings from unrestricted endowment funds are used for operations according to the spending policy established by the University's Board of Trustees.
SchD_P10_S00_L02Schedule D, Part X, Line 2The University accounts for the effect of any uncertain tax positions based on a "more likely than not" threshold to the recognition of the tax positions being sustained based on the technical merits of the position under scrutiny by the applicable taxing authority. If a tax position or positions are deemed to result in uncertainties of those positions, the unrecognized tax benefit is estimated based on a "cumulative probability assessment" that aggregates the estimated tax liability for all uncertain tax positions. The University has identified its tax status as a tax exempt entity as its only significant tax position; however, the University has determined that such tax position does not result in an uncertainty requiring recognition. The University is not currently under examination by any taxing jurisdictions. The University's federal tax return is generally open for examination for three years following the date filed.

SchF_P01_S00_L03Schedule F, Part I, Line 3Study abroad is an opportunity for students to continue the Roger Williams University education while living in another country. Study abroad is not merely a travel experience, but an academic experience (first and foremost) in an international setting. The study abroad programs are separately tracked in the University's general ledger system by activity and the amounts reported represent direct spending in foreign countries for tuition payments, lodging, travel and incidentals for students and faculty liaisons. The admissions recruiting and fundraising amounts are tracked primarily using the University's credit card system and represent travel, meals, and lodging costs for University employees conducting business in these regions. All expenses are under the accrual method of accounting.

SchJ_P01_S00_L01aSchedule J, Part I, Line 1aHousing Allowance - A residence on the employer's premises is used for both University business functions and as a personal residence by the President for the convenience of the employer and is treated as nontaxable compensation. The value of the personal space within the residence is included as a nontaxable benefit on Schedule J. Health or social club dues - The University paid social club membership dues for the President and the VP for Advancement. Since the use of the clubs was for business purposes it was not treated as taxable compensation. Personal Services - The University regularly cleans the President's residence and the value of the maintenance of the personal space is taxed accordingly.
SchJ_P01_S00_L04Schedule J, Part I, Line 4Line 4(a) Barbara S. Poole, Associate Professor, received $181,940 in back pay awarded in accordance with an arbitration decision. Line 4(b) The President of Roger Williams University participated in a University 457(f) plan and $25,000 was accrued under the plan in calendar year 2012.
SchJ_P01_S00_L07Schedule J, Part I, Line 7For University non-aligned employees merit based compensation may be granted as either a salary increase or a one-time bonus. Qualifications for receiving a bonus include performance exceeding expectations or taking on additional duties due to staff vacancies or temporary absences. In the case of officers and other key employees, the bonus amount (if any) is determined via the same process as other compensation for officers and other key employees, including review by the University's President, who is independent of the other officers or key employees. In addition, the compensation of officers and key employees falls within the parameters of the University's non-aligned merit compensation program that is approved by the Board of Trustees on an annual basis.

F990_P03_S00_L01Form 990, Part III, Line 1Roger Williams University is an independent university that combines the unique strengths of small liberal arts colleges and those of larger comprehensive universities and where liberal and professional education are enhanced by their integration and the recognition of their unity. At the foundation of the Institution is a set of core values that play a central role in guiding a respectful, diverse, and intellectually vibrant university community: "Love of learning as an intrinsic value", "Preparation for careers and future study", "Collaboration of students and faculty in research", "Commitment to community through service and sustainability", "Appreciation of global perspectives", "Promotion of civil discourse".
F990_P06_S0A_L02Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2Trustees Mario Gabelli and Richard Bready have a business relationship.

F990_P06_S0B_L12cForm 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12cTrustees, officers, key employees and managers are all required to annually (or more frequently in the event of a new potential conflict) disclose any potential conflicts of interest by completing a conflict of interest disclosure form. These disclosures are collected by the Office of General Counsel and provided for vetting to 1) the full Board of Trustees for Trustee disclosures; 2) the President for officer and senior management disclosures; or 3) senior management for down-line key employees and managers. The University's Conflict of Interest Policy and by-laws both contain provisions that provide for individuals with actual and potential conflicts to refrain from participating in discussion of, and voting on, matters where such conflicts exist.
F990_P06_S0B_L15Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15The compensation for the University's President is contractually set and is reviewed by the Executive Committee and the Board of Trustees, all members of which are independent of the President. The Executive Committee's review currently includes, but is not limited to, the use of comparability data and other outside consultants. The process for determining compensation for the University's other officers or key employees includes a review by the University's President, who is independent of the other officers or key employees. The President's review currently includes, but is not limited to, the use of comparability data and other outside consultants. In addition, the compensation of officers and key employees falls within the parameters of the University's non-aligned merit compensation program that is approved by the Board of Trustees on an annual basis.
