        <ReturnReference>Part X:</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the University and has concluded that as of June 30, 2011, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability or disclosure in the financial statements. The University is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any periods in progress. Management believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to June 30, 2007.</Explanation>
