St. Louis University

“The university is generally exempt from federal income tax pursuant to section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code (the code). The financial accounting standards board issued guidance prescribing how an organization should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its consolidated financial statements uncertain tax positions. The university adopted this guidance, which is included in accounting standards codification topic 740 (asc 740) income taxes. This guidance addresses the determination of how tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the consolidated financial statements. The university must recognize 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 the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The university has no uncertain tax positions that result in material unrecognized tax benefits as of june 30, 2018 and 2017.”

“Part V, Question 4 The University has adopted investment and spending policies for endowment assets that will preserve and enhance the real (inflation-adjusted) purchasing power of the pooled endowment while providing an increasing stream of real funding for the annual University budget in the future. Endowment assets include those assets of donor-restricted funds that the University must hold in perpetuity or for a donor-restricted period(s) as well as quasi endowment funds. Under this policy, the University will attempt to achieve the highest long-term investment return on investment assets that is compatible with the University's risk tolerance and time horizons consistent with prudent investment practices.”
