“Schedule D, Part III, Line 4 Collections of art consists of student and other art works maintained for use and viewing by future generations. No SFAS 116 disclosure of art is included in the University's financial statements as the value of the collection is not deemed to be material to the University's financial position.”

“Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 The University uses a total return investment management policy to determine endowment spending. In fiscal 2007, the University adopted a policy which utilizes an amount of 4.5% of the prior five-year quarterly average market value of the endowment fund. The actual spending rate for fiscal 2015 was 4.2%. This total return concept allows a portion of accumulated unrealized and realized capital gains to be used for current operations.”

“Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 The University has been determined to be exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the Code), as an organization described in Sections 501(c)(3) and 170(B)(I)(A)(ii) of the code. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America prescribes recognition thresholds and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Tax benefits will be recognized only if a tax position is more-likely-than-not sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized will be the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the more-likely-than-not test, no tax benefit will be recorded. Management has concluded that they are unaware of any tax benefits or liabilities to be recognized at June 30, 2016. The University would recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest and income tax expense, respectively. The University has no amounts accrued for interest or penalties for the year ended June 30, 2016. The University is no longer subject to examination by taxing authorities for years before 2013. The University does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next 12 months.”
