There have been no material changes in unrecognized benefits during the year ended June 30, 2013. It is the College's policy to record estimated interest and penalties (if any) as part of management and general expense. returns for fiscal years ending prior to June 30, 2008 are no longer subject to examination by tax authorities in its major tax jurisdictions.

Trustee RelationshipsForm 990, Part VI, Line 2Alfred J. Arcidi and Philip M. Arcidi have a family relationship.
Form 990 Review ProcessForm 990, Part VI, Line 11bInformation for Form 990 is gathered and compiled by the department of fiscal affairs and used to populate the tax return in conjunction with tax advisors from a national accounting firm. The resulting draft tax return is forward to the President, in house legal counsel, and the audit and finance committee of the Board of Trustees for their review before filing. A copy of the Form 990 is provided to every voting board member prior to filing with the IRS.
Conflict of Interest Policy Monitoring & EnforcementForm 990, Part VI, Line 12cA trustee shall be considered to have conflict of interest if (A) such trustee has existing or potential financial or other interest which impairs or might reasonably appear to impair such member's independent, unbiased judgment in the discharge of their responsibilities to the college, or (B) such trustee is aware that a member of his or her family (which for purposes of this paragraph shall be a spouse or child) or any organization in which such trustee (or member of his or her family) is an officer, director, employee, member, partner, trustee, or controlling stockholder, has such existing or potential financial or other interests. All trustees shall disclose to the board any possible conflict of interest at the earliest practicable time. No trustee shall vote on any matter under consideration at a board of committee meeting in which such trustee has a conflict of interest. The minutes of such meeting shall reflect that a disclosure was made and that the trustee having a conflict of interest abstained from voting. Any trustee who is uncertain whether they have a conflict of interest in any matter may request the board or committee to determine whether a conflict of interest exists. The board or committee shall resolve the question by majority vote. Violation of this policy may result in removal from office. Every year, the college requires the VP for Administration and legal counsel, VP for Finance and CFO, President, and board members to complete a conflict of interest questionnaire. These documents are reviewed by the Department of Fiscal Affairs and Vice President for Administration and legal counsel and any violations are addressed as necessary.
Process for Determining CompensationForm 990, Part VI, Line 15aAccording to Article VII, Section 7 of the Merrimack College By-Laws, the compensation committee shall review the compensation and benefits of the officers of the corporation who are employees of the College and make recommendations for action by the board. The board of trustees' compensation committee uses a published salary survey taken from regional academic institutions comparable to Merrimack to benchmark the President's salary utilizing CUPA and other industry standards data. In addition to receiving salary data, the compensation committee conducts a presidential evaluation process in which all members of the board of trustees are asked to input their opinions regarding the President's achievement towards goals and expectations established annually by the board. Once consensus is reached regarding performance, a similar discussion is held concerning compensation relative to achievements and established objectives. IN THE ABSENCE OF THE PRESIDENT, The committee presents its recommendations to the board of trustees in executive session for review and approval. The board of trustees chair and the chair of the compensation committee then meets with the President to discuss trustees review. Compensation is also discussed for the upcoming year and documented.
