“While the california state university, long beach ("university") and the california state university, long beach 49ers foundation ("foundation") do not meet the definition of controlled entities as outlined in the irs instructions per schedule r, and by extension do not meet the definition of related entities, the university and foundation felt the presentation of compensation for university board members would be more accurately presented in part vii, section a, columns e-f, as compared to the irs instructions to list university compensation from an unrelated organization in part vii, section a, columns d. All compensation is paid for by the university and the foundation does not provide compensation for any university management, faculty or staff.”
