Identifier Return Reference Explanation
COLLECTIONS OF ART, HISTORICAL TREASURES, ETC. FORM 990, SCHEDULE D, PART III, LINE 4 Among the rich resources provided for students is a fine, small art collection. The collection includes eighteenth-through early twenty-first century American and European paintings, prints, and sculpture; vintage photographs; and contemporary American sculpture and paintings. Recent acquisitions build on the strength of the existing collections. The mission statement for the art collection is to document, preserve for future generations, exhibit, and make accessible the College's art collection to the students, public, and scholars through exhibitions, publications, reproductions, and by granting access for research purposes. The administration of the art collection complies with museum-field wide standards of care (see American Alliance of Museums, AAM). Students have curated exhibitions from the collections; When appropriate, artwork is loaned to other institutions for exhibitions of scholarly importance; images of artwork are readily available for reproduction in commercial (ex: text books) and academic-scholarly publications (generally at no charge or nominal fee.) Lafayette College's Special Collections and College Archives The Lafayette Special Collections and College Archives are home to approximately 20,000 rare books and more than 2,000 cubic feet of manuscripts and archives. The holdings include manuscripts, rare books, prints and memorabilia relating to the Marquis de Lafayette; rare book collections on Stephen Crane, angling, miniature books, and artists' books; papers of former Treasury Secretary William E. Simon, New Jersey Governor Robert B. Meyner and Congresswoman Helen Meyner; the early records of the Easton-based Dixie Cup Company and the papers of noted illustrator and artist Howard Chandler Christy. The College Archives serves as the repository for the records of Lafayette College, dating back to the founding of the College in 1824-1826. It is charged with records management responsibilities for current College records. The Archives also includes more than 50,000 photographs, audio-visual recordings, and objects that document the College's history.
ENDOWMENT INVESTMENT GUIDELINES FORM 990, SCHEDULE D, PART V The intent of the College's Investment Guidelines for its endowment is to provide a predictable stream of funding for the College's programs from the endowment while seeking to maintain the purchasing power of the endowment assets. Program and Capital Assets expenses supported from the endowment operating distribution include Student Financial Aid Grants, Prizes and Fellowships ($7,228,200). Instruction ($6,845,600), Research ($85,400), Academic Support ($713,900 - includes Libraries of $606,700), Intercollegiate Athletics ($199,100), Student Services ($997,200), Operation and Maintenance of Plant ($1,651,900, including Auxiliary Services). The College also utilized an additional $9,542,200 of Unrestricted Endowment Income and realized gains in support of budgeted operations. The Administrative expenses reported ($2,144,400) are primarily the required distributions of Annuity Funds principal to fund annuitant payments ($1,887,800) as reported in the non-operating section of the College's Statement of Activities for the year ended June 30, 2012. Certain restricted endowments also provide that income can be used for facilities capital projects expenses and to fund student loans.
FIN 48 FOOTNOTE FORM 990, SCHEDULE D, PART X, LINE 2 The College has been granted tax exempt status as a nonprofit organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and accordingly, files federal tax Form 990 (Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax) annually. The College also files federal tax Form 990-T (Exempt Organizations Business Income Tax Return) on net income of unrelated business activities. The College estimates an income tax liability of $250,000 for the Form 990-T for the year ended June 30, 2012, of which $364,627 has been prepaid as of June 30, 2012. The College's federal and state income taxes for the year ended June 30, 2011 were $112,200. A tax position is recognized or derecognized by the College based on a "more likely than not" threshold. This applies to positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The College does not believe its financial statements include uncertain tax positions.

Identifier ReturnReference Explanation
FORM 990, SCHEDULE F, PART 1 LINE 1   The College considers the awarding of financial aid (primarily grants (scholarships), loans and work-study) to its students (including non-resident alien students) to be a U S-Based activity. The Financial Aid Office maintains records to: 1) substantiate the amount of the grants and other financial aid awarded, 2) document each grantee's eligibility for the grant and other financial aid sources and 3) document the selection criteria used to award the grant and other financial aid.
MONITORING THE USE OF GRANT FUNDS OUTSIDE THE U.S. FORM 990, SCHEDULE F, PART I, LINE 2 The College recruits, admits and enrolls top qualified students from all parts of the world and all Lafayette students are both encouraged and eligible to participate in numerous affiliated study-abroad (off- campus) programs for a semester and/or the January/May Interim Sessions. Students, who are approved to participate in these programs, are billed by Lafayette for Tuition, any related Room and Board fees and other related program charges. The student's grant and other financial aid for that semester or interim session are credited to the student's Lafayette College account to cover the educational related charges/expenses. It is possible that the total financial aid could exceed the billed expenses resulting in a credit balance and the possibility of the student receiving a refund check. If appropriate, the College will issue the refund check to the student in order to cover any related educational expenses that the College had not billed. The Office of Financial Aid maintains an itemized breakdown of the cost of attendance used to determine and award financial aid for all students (domestic and/or international.) Awards are based on the standard approved charges for the College in any given academic year as well as other eligibility criteria (enrollment, academic standing, housing status, etc.) Any costs for study abroad opportunities that may exceed Lafayette's cost of attendance must be covered by the student and family. Students are encouraged to consult with the Office of Financial Aid and Study Abroad as they evaluate their options.

Identifier Return Reference Explanation
MONITORING OF GRANTS USED IN U.S. FORM 990, SCHEDULE I, PART I, LINE 2 The College awards scholarships, need-based grants, student loans and fellowships to students based on a committee and/or individual review of student aid applications. Relevant criteria include academic and/or other achievement and financial need (as supported by income tax return detail). Fellowships are awarded based on a review by the applicable academic department. The College calculates a cost of attendance that includes both the education costs billed by the College (such as Tuition, Fees, Room and Board) and educational costs not billed by the College (such as Books, Travel and Other Incidentals). Based on the student's cost of attendance and the Financial Aid Office's determination of eligibility, the student's financial aid award for the academic year is determined. This award may include scholarships/grants, loans and student employment. For scholarships/grants and student loans, that aid is credited to the student's account and is applied to billed charges. Student employment wages are paid through payroll. For the HELP Loan program interest subsidy, the College pays that expense directly to the lending bank. If a student's account has a credit balance after all applicable College charges and financial aid is posted, the College will issue a refund check to the student. If a student has a credit balance for the Fall Semester, the student may choose instead to carry that credit balance forward for application to either Interim Session or Spring semester charges. Normally, credit balance refund checks are made payable to the student. The student may also designate that a credit balance be paid to the College Store for separately billed Lafayette College Store charges, a fraternity or sorority for Room and/or Board plans billed by the organization or that the credit balance refund check be made payable to a parent or guardian. It is assumed by the College that credit balance refunds are used to pay for educational costs that were included as part of the student's cost of attendance calculation but not billed by the College.

COMPENSATION INFORMATION FORM 990, SCHEDULE J, PART I Part I, Line 1a Travel for Companions - By employment contract, in the event that the College requests President Weiss' spouse to accompany him on College-related business, her reasonable expenses will be paid by the College. While not an employee of the College, the President's spouse serves an important role at both Board and other College functions, including for example, accompanying the President for off-campus fundraising activities. For such fundraising activities, the President's spouse is assigned duties to carry out on behalf of the College in advance of such event. For calendar 2011, such estimated expenses, if any, were included as nontaxable benefits in this return. Part I, Line 1a Tax Indemnification - During calendar year 2011, James Dicker (Vice President Development and College Relations) received additional reported contract compensation of $33,252, including tax equalization payments of $12,835. This arrangement was specific to Mr. Dicker. Daniel Weiss (President) received additional reported contract compensation of $19,707, including tax equalization payments of $6,506. This arrangement was specific to Dr. Weiss. Part I, Line 1a - Housing Allowance or Residence for Personal Use - As part of their employment contracts and for the convenience of the College, a College-owned residence was provided to Officers Daniel Weiss (President), Wendy Hill (Provost), James Krivoski (1/1/11 - 6/30/11 while serving as Vice President for Student Affairs & Executive Assistant to the President) and Celestino Limas (7/1/11 - 12/31/11 as Vice President for Campus Life and Senior Diversity Officer) during calendar 2011.

Part I, Line 1a - Personal Services (Maid, Chauffeur) - By employment contract, the President is required to reside in the President's House. The College provides household staff, gardening and snow removal services.

Identifier Return Reference Explanation
Schedule K, Part I and II 0 Series 2010 is one integrated structure as reported on IRS Form 8038. It is comprised of two sub-components, Series 2010 A & Series 2010 B. Series 2010 A was issued for the purpose of a May 2010 refunding . Series 2010 A had proceeds of $22,290,000 and is structured as variable rate debt. Series 2010 B, which was issued simultaneously with Series 2010 A and, as mentioned previously, is integrated with Series 2010 A, had total proceeds of $4,400,421. The Series 2010 B component is structured as fixed rate debt and was issued to fund various capital projects.
Schedule K, Part III, Line 3 0 The College contracts with Sodexo Dining Services, a for-profit corporate entity, for the management of the dining operations on campus. The current contract is structured such that the preponderance of fees is based on a per capita charge, and the contract has a one-year term. A small portion of the proceeds of the Series 2008 Bonds were used to renovate one of the seven dining venues on campus, but given its nature and term, the College, with the advice of counsel, believes the contract with Sodexo is a Qualified Management Contract and not subject to private use.
Schedule K, Part IV, Line 3 0 The College has three (3) interest rate hedging contracts in place. These contracts were entered into to mitigate the College's interest rate risk inherent with variable rate structured debt. Each requires the College to pay a fixed rate in return for a variable rate that is expected to approximate the interest rate payable on the College's debt in typical markets. None of the three interest rate hedging agreements are structured as "qualified" hedges on the records of the issuing authority of any of the College's bonds, which is the Northampton County General Purpose Authority. As such, none of the interest rate hedges are integrated for tax purposes with a particular debt issuance of the College. UBS is the counterparty on each of the interest rate hedges and they have scheduled terms of 2023, 2030, and 2034.
