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.

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. true true true true true true true false false false false false false false false true false true Schedule E, Part I, Line 3 RACIALLY NONDISCRIMINATORY POLICY The College publicizes its racially nondiscriminatory policy through newspaper advertising, the College course catalog, the student regulations, policies and procedures publication, and employee handbooks.
