“The College's endowment fund is intended to support the College's educational mission. The endowment consists of approximately 105 individual funds. The endowment earnings are used to fund the College's daily operations, including scholarships, student programs, and other campus activities. The Board of Trustees, through its approved investment policy guidelines, has interpreted the New York Prudent Management of Institutional Funds (NYPMIFA) to allow the College to spend below the historical dollar value of its endowment unless specific donors have stipulated to the contrary.”

“The College follows guidance that clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, including issues relating to financial statement recognition and measurement. This guidance provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can only be recognized in the financial statements if the positions is "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. The assessment of the tax position is based solely on the technical merits of the position, without regard to the likelihood that the tax position may be challenged. The College is exempt from federal income tax under IRC section 501(c)(3), though it is subject to tax on income unrelated to its exempt purpose, unless that income is otherwise excluded by the Code. The College has processes in place to ensure the maintenance of its tax-exempt status; to identify and report unrelated income; to determine its filing and tax obligations in jurisdictions for which it was nexus; and to identify and evaluate other matters that may be considered tax positions. The tax years ended June 30, 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016 are still open to audit for both federal and state purposes. The College has determined that there are no material uncertain tax positions that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.”
