DescriptionHigher Education: Our mission is carried out through our curriculum, the character of our learning environment, our residential campus culture, and our community. Knox College has a tradition of free inquiry, independent thought, and diverse perspectives. Knox College is a college that changes lives. We value independent thinking, egalitarian spirit, and diverse perspectives. Our students choose their own path toward a degree, guided by scholar teachers who encourage them to explore ideas and places, stretch their intellect and their talents, blend thought with action, and fuse imagination with initiative. Founded in 1837 by social reformers strongly opposed to slavery, Knox was one of the first colleges in the United States open to both women and people of color. And it was on our campus that Abraham Lincoln chose to denounce slavery on moral terms for the first time, during the 1858 Lincoln-Douglas Debate. A pervasive spirit of equality thrives on campus today in our commitment to giving every student a voice. With a campus population that includes students from 48 states and 51 countries, 25% U.S. students of color, and individuals from every imaginable religious and socioeconomic background, members of the Knox community are actively challenged to broaden their points of view. (1,420 students)Description

SchD_P10_S00_L02Schedule D, Part X, Line 2NOTE 2 - INCOME TAX STATUS The College is a not-for-profit entity as described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and is exempt from federal income taxes on related income pursuant to Section 501(a) of the IRC. The College follows authoritative guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) that clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity's financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold of more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination. Measurement of the tax uncertainty occurs if the recognition threshold has not been met. This guidance also addresses de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, disclosure, and transition. The College conducts business solely in the U.S. and, as a result, files information returns for U.S. and Illinois. In the normal course of business, the College is subject to examination by taxing authorities. The College's information returns for years subsequent to fiscal 2008 are open, by statute, for review by authorities. However, at present, there are no ongoing income tax audits or unresolved disputes with the various tax authorities that the College currently files or has filed with.
