| Schedule E, Part I, Line 3 | A racially discriminatory policy would be illegal within the UK so it would be unusual for the University to make such a statement. However, the University's undergraduate and postgraduate admissions websites and prospectuses make it clear that admissions decisions are taken within the framework of the University's Equality Policy and the Equality Act 2010. The undergraduate admissions homepage currently states: "Oxford University is world-famous for academic excellence. We pick the best and brightest students purely on their academic merit and passion for their chosen course." (www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/undergraduate_courses/index.html). The University guide to postgraduate applications states that "The University of Oxford and its colleges seek to admit students of high academic ability and potential. Students are selected for admission without regard to gender, marital or civil partnership status, disability, race, nationality, ethnic origin, religion or belief, sexual orientation, age or social background." (www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/graduate/applying-to-oxford/after-you-apply/assessment-of-your-application ). |
| Schedule E, Part I, Line 6 | Oxford University receives various forms of grants and aid from U.K government agencies including via the Higher Education Council for England (HEFCE). Research funding is received from a variety of US governmental agencies. National Institutes of Health USA $ 4,211,241. US Department of Defence $ 246,110. United States Army $ 190,847. United States Department of Energy $ 188,100. United States Air Force $ 183,750. US Navy Region Centre Singapore $ 118,674. US Defence Threat Reduction Agency $ 92,912. |

Regulations are amended on a regular basis and are too numerous to list here. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b | Once the University's financial statements have been signed off, a meeting is arranged with key finance/tax employees to identify changes to the previous year's Form 990, identify changes in applicable law, agree methodology for gathering information and agree a timetable for completion and review of the Form 990. After information has been gathered, figures are prepared and reconciled to the financial statements. A review is done at this stage by key tax/finance staff to ensure accuracy and all detail is captured. A meeting is held with the University's Director of Finance to discuss specific aspects of the Form 990. Prior to submission, a final review of the Form 990 is undertaken by key staff including the Director of Finance on behalf of Council (the University's governing body). |

Committee secretaries are asked to draw the conflict of interest policy to the attention of their members on an annual basis and to remind committee members at each meeting of the requirement to declare any conflicts or potential conflicts. The University's internal auditors are currently undertaking a review of the University's conflict of interest policy, focussing on its adequacy and effectiveness and the central and local processes for ensuring compliance with the policy. |

The committee includes three members who are external to the University and two members who are not subject to arrangements with regard to their personal salary which are determined by any process involving an individual whose salary is covered by the remit of the committee.

The committee is also responsible, on the recommendation of a panel of the personnel committee, for: * Determining the salaries on appointment of the Pro-Vice-Chancellors with special responsibility for designated functions and of the Heads of Divisions; * Reviewing the salaries of each of those office-holders with effect from the 1 October closest to two calendar years after the starting salaries were set for each office-holder; and * Reviewing the salaries of each office-holder every two years thereafter. In carrying out reviews the committee considers whether there have been any significant changes in the duties of, or any significant developments associated with, the offices concerned since the salaries of the holders of the offices were last determined; and ensures that the views of the officeholders concerned and the views of the officers to whom those officeholders are responsible have been solicited. |
