FIN 48 SCHEDULE D, PART X Gallaudet has been recognized by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") as exempt from federal income taxes except on activities unrelated to its exempt purpose, under provisions of Section 501 (c)(3) of the internal revenue code of 1986 as amended. The IRS has determined that Gallaudet is a publically supported educational institution and not a private foundation. The income taxes topic number 740, "income Taxes" of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("Codification") establishes criterion that an individual tax position has to meet for some or all the benefits of that position to be recognized in an entity's financial statements. upon initial application, this criterion is applied to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remains open. Only tax positions that meet the "more-likely-than-not" recognition threshold at the adoption date will be recognized or continue to be recognized. This criterion was adopted by the University on October 1, 2009, and had no impact on the University's financial statements. The tax years ended 2009, 2010 and 2011 are still open to audit for both federal and District of Columbia purposes. The University has processes presently in place to ensure the maintenance of its tax-exempt status; to identify and report unrelated income; determine its filing and tax obligations in jurisdictions for which it has nexus; and to review other matters that may be considered tax positions.

Policies Part VI, Section B Line 11- Process used to review form 990: The Form 990 was prepared by a nationally renowned accounting firm in conjunction with the organization's financial department. The University's Board of Trustees charges the audit committee with the responsibility for overseeing the IRS Form 990 and its supplemental schedules prior to filing. A copy of the draft Form 990 was circulated to the full Audit Committee for discussion and comment. The Final signed Form 990 is distributed to the full Board of Trustees before the return is ultimately filed with the IRS. Line 12- Enforcement of conflict of interest policy: Gallaudet University's conflict of interest policy applies to all members of the Board of Trustees and all administrators, faculty, teachers, and staff of the University. All Board members must disclose, at the earliest practicable time, any possible conflict of interest to the Secretary of the Board and the audit committee. To facilitate this policy, each member completes and files annually, with the Secretary of the Board and the chairman of the audit committee, information about possible conflicts of interest affecting Gallaudet University, including interests of immediate family members and organizations in which the Board member has a significant management function or a significant ownership interest. If a Board member is uncertain whether a conflict of interest exists, the matter is presented to the audit committee and then a determination is requested by the Board. These matters will be resolved by majority vote. the Board member whose conflict of interest is under consideration is excluded from participation. The disclosure of the conflict and the related deliberation and voting results are documented in the minutes of the meeting. Administrators, faculty, teachers, and staff also sign a "Conflict of Interest Policy Compliance Statement" annually indicating that they understand their fiduciary responsibility to the University and reaffirming their commitment to fully disclose any potential conflict of interest which may exist. Disclosures of any potential conflict of interest are made promptly in writing to the President of the University with a copy to the unit administrator, senior administrator, and Human Resources Services. The disclosure statement is reviewed by a committee appointed by the President to determine if a conflict of interest exists. A disclosure by the President is made to the Secretary of the Board and is reviewed by the Secretary and the Chairman of the Board. If it is determined that a conflict of interest exists, the President (or in the case of a finding against the President, the Chairman of the Board) will take appropriate action to eliminate the conflict and safeguard the interests of Gallaudet University. Line 15- Process for determining compensaion: The Board of Trustees' Compensation Committee has the ultimate responsibility for determining the total compensation package of the University's President. The Compensation Committee uses an independent consultant to periodically perform a compensation study to inform its decision on the President's compensation and makes recommendations to the full board for its consideration and vote. The most recent compensation study occurred during 2011. Compensation decisions and reports are contemporaneously documented in the minutes of the meeting of the Committee when the decisions are made. The President's salary is determined in accordance with Gallaudet's general compensation practices. Merit, pay increases, and bonuses are determined at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. The President of the University is responsible for the compensation of the University's officers and senior management within the guidelines established by the Compensation Committee. On an annual basis, an analysis is performed by an independent consultant to assess local trends in compensation and adjustments are made to the staff salary ranges as necessary. Every three years, the University hires an independent consultant to perform an intensive market study to evaluate Gallaudet's staff compensation program against those of other universities and not-for-profit organizations. The most recent intensive market study was performed in 2011. The consultant provides analyses of salary data surveys and makes recommendations to University management. Senior managers are responsible for the management of compensation within their units, using the established compensation parameters approved by the President and Compensation Committee.
