COLLECTIONS OF ART	PART III, LINE 1: AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENT FOOTNOTE 1(N)	Collections at Brandeis University are protected and preserved for public exhibition, education, research and the furtherance of public service. Collections are not capitalized; sales of collection items are recorded as revenue and purchases of collection items are recorded as nonoperating expenses in the University's financial statements in the period in which the items are sold or acquired, respectively. PART III, LINE 4 Founded in 1961, The Rose Art Museum (The Rose) is an integral part of Brandeis University. The Rose is an educational and cultural museum dedicating to collecting, preserving and exhibiting the finest of modern and contemporary art. The programs of the Rose adhere to the overall mission of the University, embracing its values of academic excellence, social justice, and freedom of expression. The rose is active in the academic, cultural, and social life of Brandeis. The Rose seeks to stimulate public awareness and disseminate knowledge of modern and contemporary art to enrich educational, cultural, and artistic communities regionally, nationally, and internationally. It promotes learning and understanding of the evolving meanings, ideas, and forms of visual art relevant to contemporary society.
ENDOWMENT FUNDS	PART V, LINE 4	Brandeis University's endowment and quasi-endowment consists of approximately 1,800 individual endowment accounts established for a variety of purposes in accordance with the applicable law and donor intent and funds designated by the University's board to operate as endowment (quasi-endowment). A majority of the funds provide scholarships and financial aid assistance to undergraduate and graduate students. Other uses of the funds include, but are not limited to, support for fellowships, the creation and funding of endowed chairs and professorships, and support for the University's teaching and research activities. The University's endowment investment objectives are to maximize risk-adjusted returns for a long-term horizon. The endowment intends to achieve its objectives by investing in multiple asset classes. In order to meet the primary investment goals for endowment funds, the average annual net total return over an extended period, after adjusting for inflation, is deemed sufficient to support the spending rate as determined by the University's board of trustees. To have a reasonable probability of achieving the endowment's primary investment goal at an acceptable risk level, the investment committee has adopted a long-term asset allocation policy.

IdentifierIdentifier	Return ReferenceReturnReference	ExplanationExplanation
ORGANIZATION'S MISSION	FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1	Brandeis University is a community of scholars and students united by their commitment to the pursuit of knowledge and its transmission from generation to generation. As a research University, Brandeis is dedicated to the advancement of the humanities, arts and social, natural and physical sciences. As a liberal arts college, Brandeis affirms the importance of a broad and critical education in enriching the lives of students and preparing them for full participation in a changing society, capable of promoting their own welfare, yet remaining deeply concerned about the welfare of others. In a world of challenging social and technological transformation, Brandeis remains a center of open inquiry and teaching, cherishing its independence from any doctrine of government. It strives to reflect the heterogeneity of the United States and of the world community whose ideas and concerns it shares. In the belief that the most important learning derives from the personal encounter and joint work of teachers and students, Brandeis encourages undergraduates and postgraduates to participate with distinguished faculty in research, scholarship and artistic activities.
REVIEW PROCESS	FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B	Senior management is responsible for drafting Form 990. The completed draft is submitted for review by the University's audit firm. Recommended changes are discussed with senior management and incorporated into the return, as appropriate. For fiscal 2012, the Board of Trustees has delegated the review of the Form 990 to the Audit Committee, with the General Counsel reporting to the Audit Committee concerning material conflict of interest matters. The Audit Committee reviewed the Form 990 and discussed any questions with senior management and the University's audit firm. After the Audit Committee review, and prior to filing the completed Form 990, a copy of the Form 990 was sent to each member of the Board of Trustees.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY	FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C	The Brandeis University conflict of interest policy for trustees, officers and committee members establishes a process whereby potential, apparent and actual conflicts of interest of trustees, officers and non-trustee committee members may properly be avoided or managed so that the best interests of the University are protected. Officers, trustees and committee members complete an annual conflict of interest disclosure form, which is consistent with the policy and the applicable regulatory and auditing requirements. Certain senior officers and financial employees are also required to complete an annual disclosure form with respect to the University's investments. The Personnel, Compensation and Ethics Committee (The "PCEC"), with the assistance of the SVP & General Counsel, oversees the collection and review of the disclosure forms. In the case of a potential, apparent, or actual related party transaction nor other situation presenting a possible conflict of interest, the PCEC chair is responsible for deciding whether to submit the transaction or situation to the PCEC or the board for a determination. In addition, the University has established a separate conflict of interest policy for its employees. Under this policy, disclosure forms are completed annually by all senior officers, the President's cabinet, Department chairs, heads of centers and institutes, principal investigators, and other designated senior officials and financial personnel.
COMPENSATION POLICY	FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15B	The University is committed to attracting, retaining, and motivating qualified employees, relating compensation to performance, promoting an equitable relationship between compensation and responsibility and ensuring compliance with law and regulation. This process is the foundation of all hiring, annual performance evaluations and salary adjustments. The Personnel, Compensation and Ethics Committee (The "PCEC") is authorized by the Board of Trustees and directed to perform a direct review and approval at regular intervals of the performance and compensation of the officers, and where appropriate, other senior management of the University. The PCEC utilizes independent external consultants to assist with both the review of compensation agreements and the gathering of comparability data in determining the reasonableness of compensation and compliance with the procedures described in Treasury Regulation Section 53.4958-6.
PUBLIC DISCLOSURE	FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION C, LINE 19	The organization's financial statements are available online at www.brandeis.edu/financialaffairs. The University's governing documents are available online at www.brandeis.edu. The organization's Form 990 and audited financial statements are also available at the website of Massachusetts Attorney General.
