| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B | THE UNIVERSITY'S FORM 990 WAS PREPARED BY AN INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE UNIVERSITY'S FINANCE DEPARTMENT. A DRAFT IS PREPARED AND DISTRIBUTED TO THE FULL AUDIT COMMITTEE FOR REVIEW. THE AUDIT COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS AND APPROVES FOR FILING THE FORM 990. THE FORM 990, AS ULTIMATELY FILED WITH THE IRS, IS DISTRIBUTED TO THE FULL BOARD IN ADVANCE OF ITS FILING. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12 | EACH TRUSTEE, OFFICER, AND KEY EMPLOYEE OF THE UNIVERSITY IS REQUIRED TO ANNUALLY DISCLOSE ANY CONFLICTS OF INTEREST THAT ARISE BY VIRTUE OF THEIR EMPLOYMENT, BOARD SERVICE, FAMILY OR BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS, OR POSITION WITH THE UNIVERSITY. THE UNIVERSITY MONITORS COMPLIANCE WITH ITS CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY THROUGH A CONFLICT OF INTEREST STATEMENT THAT IS COMPLETED BY EACH BOARD MEMBER AT THE ANNUAL JUNE MEETING. THESE ARE REVIEWED BY THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD. IN ADDITION TO THE BOARD MEMBERS, THE EXECUTIVE LEVEL, ALL FINANCE STAFF, AS WELL AS ANYONE IN POSITIONS IDENTIFIED BY FUNCTION TO HAVE POSSIBLE INFLUENCE WITH CONTRACT OR FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS OR SYSTEMS WITHIN THE UNIVERSITY, COMPLETE THE QUESTIONNAIRE ANNUALLY. THESE ARE REVIEWED BY THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER AND DIRECTOR OF HUMAN RESOURCES.

| FORM 990, PART VII | PRESIDENT, SISTER ROSEMARY JEFFRIES IS REPRESENTED AS HAVING RECEIVED NO COMPENSATION FROM THE UNIVERSITY BECAUSE THE ORDER SHE REPRESENTS RECEIVES ALL COMPENSATION SHE WOULD OTHERWISE BE PAID. THE SISTERS OF MERCY FULFILL VARIOUS ROLES WITHIN THE UNIVERSITY. SOME POSITIONS, WHICH WOULD OTHERWISE BE FILLED WITH LAY PERSONS, ARE ASSIGNED A VALUE FOR COMPENSATION AND PAYMENTS FOR THESE SERVICES ARE MADE TO THE SISTERS OF MERCY. THE PAYMENTS MADE FOR THE CALENDAR YEAR 2014 TOTALED $617,210 AND THE COMPENSATION FOR THIS POSITION IS INCLUDED IN THIS FIGURE. THIS COMPENSATION IS NOT TREATED AS TAXABLE INCOME TO THE SISTERS SINCE THEY ARE MEMBERS OF A RELIGIOUS ORDER.
