Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDesc	ExplanationExplanationTxt
Schedule D, Part III, Line 1a	The college has elected not to capitalize contributed collections. All works of art and collections are held for public exhibition, education or research; are protected, kept unencumbered, cared for, and preserved; and are subject to policies governing their use. Recognizing works of art as an asset of the Institution would result in a material increase in property, plant and equipment and a corresponding increase in net assets in the statements of financial position.
Schedule D, Part III, Line 4 Collections of art - description of collections	The Allen Memorial Art Museum (AMAM) is one of the finest college or university collections in the United States. Comprising nearly 14,000 works of art from virtually every culture and spanning the history of art, the AMAM's collection is a vital cultural resource for the students, faculty, and staff of Oberlin College as well as the surrounding community. The Museum organizes a variety of public programs in connection with exhibitions for Oberlin College and the local community. The Museum offers educational resources for Oberlin College faculty and students as well as other colleges and universities, K-12 teachers, children, and families.
Schedule D, Part IV, Line 2b Explanation of escrow agreement	In addition to funds from student organizations, the College maintains agency funds for various purposes including fellowships funded by outside foundations.
Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 Intended uses of endowment funds	Oberlin College's endowment spending policy is set by the College's Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees takes great care in developing the broad objectives and specific spending methodology, giving consideration to a number of factors, including preservation of the College's endowment for perpetuity, economic conditions and the possible impact of inflation and deflation, the College's historical total return on endowment, the expected total returns and the related investment policies and targeted allocations to achieve the expected returns, and the other financial resources of the College. The broad objectives of the endowment spending policy are to increase the real value of the endowment, to provide a dependable stream of current earnings distribution from the endowment pool to the College, to release earnings at a rate sustainable over the long term, and to seek to provide predictability and stability of endowment spending essential for long range planning.
Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote	The College is exempt from Federal income taxes under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3). The College generates minor amounts of unrelated business income, annually files Form 990-T and pays taxes on such income. The College recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of the College, the continued tax-exempt status of bonds issued by the College and various positions related to potential sources of unrelated taxable income. The College believes that it has appropriate support for any tax positions taken and, as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the financial statements. As of June 30, 2025, the College's income tax years from 2019 and thereafter remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, as well as various state and local taxing authorities.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a Process to establish compensation of top management official	Pursuant to the College's by-laws, approved via a vote of the full Board, the compensation arrangements for the President and select officers and key employees are approved in advance through the following process. The Compensation Subcommittee of the Board's Executive Committee organizes and conducts the review of the President as the College's Chief Executive Officer, and makes recommendations to the Executive Committee and the Board concerning the compensation of the President and select officers and key employees. The Compensation Subcommittee consists of Trustees without a conflict of interest with respect to the compensation arrangement. In formulating its recommendations, the Compensation subcommittee obtains and relies upon comparability data regarding the compensation of the President and select officers and key employees at similarly situated private colleges and universities. The subcommittee presents to the Executive Committee its written report and recommendations. The Executive Committee may approve the subcommittee's report and recommendations or act otherwise, and the Executive Committee's action is then presented to the full Board in executive session for ratification. A written report of the approved compensation determination and the basis for that determination is subsequently filed and preserved with the College's General Counsel and Secretary.
