Explanation
SCHEDULE E - EXPLANATION FOR LINE 3:
TCU follows a racially nondiscriminatory policy as to students and enrolls students of racial minority groups in meaningful numbers. TCU includes a statement of its racially nondiscriminatory policy toward students in its brochures, catalogues, and other written communications with the public dealing with student admissions, programs, and scholarships. TCU does not publicize its policy through newspaper or broadcast media since TCU is a national university and draws a substantial percentage of its students nationwide from widespread geographic sections of the country.

PROCESS USED TO REVIEW FORM 990
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11A:
Form 990 is reviewed internally by TCU's financial management, including the University's chief financial officer, before being presented to the University's Audit Committee for review. TCU management provides specific disclosures relating to individual trustees, officers, key employees, and highly compensated employees to the affected individuals for their review. The University's Audit Committee and Chancellor review Form 990 before it is distributed to all other trustees. After review at its spring meeting, the Audit Committee authorizes the online distribution of Form 990 to all trustees prior to filing with the IRS. The Form 990 review process by the Audit Committee and distribution to all trustees has been formally incorporated into TCU's Audit Committee charter.
COMPLIANCE WITH WRITTEN CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C:
TCU has written conflict of interest policies for all employees as well as for trustees. Officers, trustees, key employees, and highly compensated employees receive a written copy of the conflict of interest policy on an annual basis, along with a list of the names of other officers, trustees, key employees, and highly compensated employees. They also receive a conflict of interest statement that must be completed and signed and returned to the Chancellor. The statement requires each individual to disclose whether they have any conflicts of interest and to describe the nature of any such conflicts. The statement also requires the individual to disclose family relationships and business relationships with TCU as well as with other officers, trustees, key employees, or highly compensated employees. The Chancellor's office follows up to ensure that a signed conflict of interest statement is received from each affected individual. The Chancellor and the Chair of the Board of Trustees review each statement. Any potential conflicts are also reviewed with TCU's legal counsel. The statements are also provided to the finance department for review and for Form 990 disclosure purposes. With respect to specific transactions involving an existing or potential conflict of interest, the policy requires disclosure to be made at the earliest possible time and annually after that. In accordance with the policy, trustees or officers cannot vote on, nor participate in discussing, any matter in which they have a conflict of interest, except to provide information. The conflict of interest policy for TCU employees is included in TCU' s Code of Conduct and is available on TCU's Human Resources website, in addition to the related Conflict of Interest Disclosure Form. In accordance with the conflict of interest policy, employees must disclose potential conflicts of interest as soon as possible after they realize that a conflict or potential conflict may have arisen. The disclosure must detail the potential or real conflict of interest and explain how the conflict will be managed, reduced, or eliminated. Conflict of Interest Disclosure Forms for employees are submitted to the office of the chief financial officer and are reviewed by TCU's financial management. If a conflict or potential conflict of interest is reported and allowed to exist under the review of the finance office, it is required that the conflict or potential conflict be reconsidered annually until it is resolved.
WHISTLEBLOWER POLICY
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 13

WRITTEN DOCUMENT RETENTION AND DESTRUCTION POLICY
PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 14:
TCU IS IN THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPING A WRITTEN DOCUMENT RETENTION AND DESTRUCTION POLICY.
DETERMINING COMPENSATION OF CHANCELLOR
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15A:
TCU has established the following procedures for determining executive compensation for the Chancellor and to assure that the compensation meets the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness standard. TCU's Human Resources department annually reviews data from three national salary surveys and provides annual salary survey compensation and benefits data to the compensation subcommittee of the Executive Committee for use in determining the Chancellor's salary. The Human Resources department also reviews 990 data submitted to the IRS from other private universities to review annual salary information as well as deferred compensation and benefits data. In accordance with the Executive Committee charter of the Board of Trustees, the Chair of the Board appoints a subcommittee of the Executive Committee of the Board annually to assure that compensation for the Chancellor is reasonable and that adequate documentation is maintained for supporting the reasonableness of compensation paid. The subcommittee's charge includes reviewing the Chancellor's self-evaluation, reviewing any other materials submitted by the Chancellor as part of the evaluation, considering any specific requests put forth by the Chancellor, and reviewing the compensation parameters currently applied to the Chancellor. The subcommittee meets with the Chancellor to discuss performance and subsequently submits a report to the Chair of the Board which includes an assessment of the Chancellor's performance as well as a salary and benefits recommendation for the coming academic year. The Chair of the Board considers the recommendations of the subcommittee and makes a final evaluation of the Chancellor's performance to the Executive Committee of the Board in an Executive Session and informs the Chancellor of the outcomes of that session. The Chair of the Board advises the full Board at the next scheduled meeting that the evaluation process was conducted and completed as set forth in the Executive Committee charter. This process was last undertaken for the Chancellor's compensation in 2012.
DETERMINING COMPENSATION OF OTHER OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15B:
TCU has established the following procedures for determining executive compensation for other officers and key employees. In accordance with the Executive Committee charter of the Board of Trustees, the Chancellor is responsible for performing annual evaluations and setting salaries for senior administrative officers, subject to limitations set in the budget approved by the full Board. The Chancellor provides a summary of the annual evaluations and salary determinations to the Executive Committee during a scheduled meeting and cites reliable and independent comparability data upon which salary determinations are based. The Chancellor maintains relevant documentation used for salary determinations. To facilitate the Chancellor's responsibilities, TCU's Human Resources department annually reviews three sources of salary survey data for salary comparison purposes with TCU's executive level positions. Each spring when the new survey data is released, TCU's Human Resources department reviews the data and summarizes the results into a report identifying salary information for the following positions: Chancellor, Vice Chancellors, Deans, Key Employees, and Unit Heads whose jobs can be matched to survey data. Each year the supervising administrator meets with subordinates and evaluates their performance. This evaluation becomes the basis for determining the amount of the merit increase to be awarded using the salary survey summary of data as a guideline for making this decision. This process was last undertaken for officers and other senior employees in 2012. THE VICE CHANCELLOR OF FINANCE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PERFORMING THE ANNUAL EVALUATION AND SETTING SALARIES FOR THE CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER AND THE DIRECTOR OF ALTERNATIVE ASSETS, SUBJECT TO LIMITATIONS SET IN THE BUDGET APPROVED BY THE FULL BOARD. THE VICE CHANCELLOR PROVIDES A SUMMARY OF THE ANNUAL EVALUATIONS AND SALARY DETERMINATIONS TO THE INVESTMENT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES DURING A SCHEDULED MEETING AND CITES RELIABLE AND INDEPENDENT COMPARABILITY DATA UPON WHICH SALARY DETERMINATIONS ARE BASED. THE VICE CHANCELLOR MAINTAINS RELEVANT DOCUMENTATION USED FOR SALARY DETERMINATIONS. TO FACILITATE THE VICE CHANCELLOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES, THE HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT ANNUALLY REVIEWS TWO SOURCES OF SALARY DATA FOR SALARY COMPARISON PURPOSES WITH TCU'S EXECUTIVE LEVEL INVESTMENT STAFF. THE HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT ALSO ANNUALLY USES A CALCULATION THAT INCLUDES A QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS BASED ON THE PERFORMANCE OF THE ENDOWMENT. THE HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT REVIEWS THE DATA AND SUMMARIZES THE RESULTS INTO A REPORT INDENTIFYING SALARY INFORMATION FOR CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER AND THE DIRECTOR OF ALTERNATIVE ASSETS. THIS REPORT BECOMES THE BASIS FOR DETERMINING THE AMOUNT OF MERIT INCREASES TO BE AWARDED. THIS PROCESS WAS LAST UNDERTAKEN FOR THE CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER AND THE DIRECTOR OF ALTERNATIVE ASSETS IN 2012.
GOVERNING DOCUMENTS, CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY, AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION C, LINE 19:
TCU does not make its governing documents or financial statements available to the public. TCU's conflict of interest policy is included in TCU's Code of Conduct and is available to the public via TCU's Human Resources website.
