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 examinations for three years following the date filed.

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. Those disclosures that require further investigation or attention are addressed by their respective overseers on a case by case basis. The University's Conflict of Interest Policy and by-laws both contain provisions that provide for individuals with actual or potential conflicts to refrain from participating in discussions of, and voting on, matters where such conflict exists.
