Through its Paideia program, the University transcends conventional approaches to teaching and learning through a student-driven, faculty-led experience. The program emphasizes intellectual curiosity, promotes connections between academic courses, offers intercultural and diversity experiences, encourages civic engagement, and supports collaborative or guided research and creative works. For the year, the University enrolled 1,346 full-time equivalent students in its academic instructional programs. Most of the University's enrollment is traditional college-age students, and for the Fall 2012 semester 98.71% were enrolled full-time (12 or more credit hours for the semester). The student-teacher ratio was approximately 10.4:1 in the current year.

Grant Monitoring Outside The United States Part I, Line 2 All students at Southwestern University are required to apply for the study abroad program at The Office of Intercultural Learning. Students then meet with the Director of Intercultural Learning to discuss their major, eligibility, best options and goals, and to identify the appropriate study abroad program. Both the Office of Financial Aid and the Office of Intercultural learning meet to review all the students accepted in the study abroad program and to determine financial aid eligibility. Scholarships are awarded to students based on financial need and participation in approved programs. The Office of Financial Aid and its operations are subject to internal control review by the University's external auditors as part of the financial statement audit. Funds are also monitored by the review and oversight of Senior Management, Senior Staff, the Vice President of Enrollment Services, and the Business Office; all of which are under the purview of the Audit Committee and the Fiscal Affairs Committee of the Board of Trustees. Payments for certain scholarhsips are made directly to the institutions sponsoring the study abroad program. Payments related to the Paideia program are made to the students on a reimbursement basis. Students are required to complete a request for reimbursement that includes the approval/signature from an assigned faculty mentor and attach proof of prior payment of study abroad expenses. The forms are then reviewed by the Assistant Dean of Faculty Development and Sponsored Projects and the Assistant Controller before processed for payment. Payments for faculty members' room and board related to study abroad programs were made by the Controller via wire transfer directly to the owner of the rental property. Southwestern University's method of accounting for these expenditures includes using different account numbers to track some of the different study abroad programs, scholarships expenses, and all foreign travel.

Grant Monitoring In The United States. Part I, Line 2 The University made need-based and merit-based grants and scholarships to 1,366 students in fiscal 2013, totaling $23,445,829. Additionally, the University awards various federal, state, and private scholarship, loan, and student work programs as part of its overall financial aid program. The University Financial Aid office is responsible for management of all financial aid programs. The University uses the Department of Education methodology to determine family need for awarding need-based awards. Merit-based awards are determined based on various academic (GPA, rank in class, etc.) as well as other qualitative measures. It is the responsibility of the Financial Aid office to ensure compliance with federal and state regulations on financial aid and the University policy and internal control objectives. The financial aid office and its operations are subject to internal control review by the University's external auditors as part of the annual financial statement audit. Additional monitoring is also provided through the review and oversight of Senior Management, Senior Staff, the Vice-President of Enrollment Services, and the Business Office; all of which are under the purview of the Audit Committee and the Board of Trustees' Fiscal Affairs Committee. Additionally, the University's awarding and management of financial aid awards is subject to an annual Single Audit (Circular A-133) and State of Texas audits (for various state financial aid programs). Results of these audits are reported to the University Senior Staff, the Board of Trustees' Audit Committee, and the Board of Trustees' Fiscal Affairs Committee.

Executive Committee Part VI, Section A, Line 1a All trustees elected to the Board of Trustees have the same voting rights. In between scheduled meetings of the trustees, the University's Bylaws empower the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees to act on a broad range of issues and matters. The Committee shall, subject to the control of the Board of Trustees, have authority to: Exercise supervision and control over the investment of endowment funds; Exercise supervision and control over erection of buildings; Negotiate and procure loans; Designate those employees and officers for whom dishonesty insurance is required; Have the right to sell, lease, convey, or transfer both real and personal property belonging to the University, except that the Executive Committee shall not sell any of the property used for the University purposes proper; and Perform other duties and exercise such other powers as the Board of Trustees may delegate. All actions of the Executive Committee are recorded in official record meeting minutes which are reported at the next meeting of the Board of Trustees.
Relationships Part VI, Section A, Line 2 R. Griffin Lord and Jake B. Schrum have a business relationship.
Form 990 Review Part VI, Section B, Line 11b Per the Board approved resolution, the Audit Committee prepares an annual timeline for the preparation, review, and filing of Form 990. The Administration and other staff complete sub-certification statements addressing their individual areas of responsibilities. The University's external counsel reviews the Form 990. The completed and reviewed return, along with sub-certification statements, is reviewed by the chief financial officer (Vice President for Fiscal Affairs). The Vice President for Fiscal Affairs presents the completed return to the Board of Trustees' Audit Committee, which has oversight responsibility for the Form 990. After review by the Audit Committee, a copy of the return is made available to the full Board of Trustees for their review before filing. Board Members review the return and return a confirmation of their review. Any comments are submitted in writing to the Audit Committee. The return is then filed electronically with the IRS. The University's external auditing firm reviews the prior year return for completeness and accuracy relevant to the scope and due diligence requirements of the auditing process, and reports any significant or material weaknesses noted to the Board of Trustees' Audit Committee. The Audit Committee has oversight responsibility and authority to ensure noted weaknesses or errors are corrected. The Audit Committee reports regularly to the full Board of Trustees.
Conflict of Interest Policy Part VI, Section B, Line 12c The Board of Trustees has delegated ongoing oversight of the University's Conflict of Interest Policy to the Board of Trustees' Audit Committee as a permanent duty of the Audit Committee's Charter. The Audit Committee is responsible for proposing changes in the University Conflict of Interest Policy to the full Board of Trustees, and for monitoring compliance with the policy approved by the Board of Trustees. All members of the Board of Trustees, Board committee members, Officers, key employees, members of the Financial Aid office and all professional financial accounting staff annually complete and submit a questionnaire on possible conflicts of interest and independence. Employees of the University other than the President submit conflict of interest information to the President. The President determines if an actual conflict of interest exists and determines the appropriate mitigating action. The President reports on an annual basis, to the Audit Committee, all identified possible conflicts of interest and mitigating actions taken. The President and the members of the Board of Trustees submit conflict of interest and independence questionnaires to the Board of Trustees' Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing the situation and recommending to the Board Chairman appropriate mitigating actions. The University has a whistle-blower policy and process under the oversight and authority of the Board of Trustees Audit Committee.
Compensation Review Part VI, Section B, Lines 15a & 15b The Board of Trustees' Compensation Committee is responsible for setting compensation for the Senior Staff of the University. Senior Staff includes the President and all vice president-level staff. Additionally, each year any employees listed in IRS Form 990 Part VII, officer, key employee, and highly paid employee, not already within the scope of the Compensation Committee, are added to the Committee's scope of oversight. The Compensation Committee includes only independent Board of Trustees members as voting members plus the Associate Vice President for Human Resources, as a non-voting ex officio member. The Committee compiles industry-wide salary surveys, benchmark institutional data from peer institutions, and other external, objective data, to determine the appropriateness of compensation for employees under its review. The Associate Vice President for Human Resources is responsible for compiling a complete list of all compensation, taxable and non-taxable fringe benefits, and any other relevant data for the Committee. The Compensation Committee reports on the salary administration process to the Board of Trustees on an annual basis for approval by the Board. Full disclosure of compensation is reported on Form 990 for full Board of Trustee review. All the information used by the Compensation Committee is retained by the Associate Vice President of Human Resources in the personnel office.
Governing Documents Part VI, Section C, Line 19 The University publishes its Articles of Incorporation and/or Certificate of Formation, Bylaws, Conflict of Interest Policy, Independence Policy, the most current three years of audited financial statements, and IRS Forms 990 and 990-T on the University website.
