Return Reference Explanation
COLLECTIONS OF ART PART III, LINE 1: SFAS116, AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENT FOOTNOTE 1(L) Collections at Brandeis University are protected and preserved for public exhibition, education, research and the furtherance of public service. Collections are not capitalized; sales and purchases of collection items are recorded as nonoperating revenue and expenses in the University's financial statements in the period in which the items are sold or acquired, respectively.
PART III, LINE 4 Founded in 1961, The Rose Art Museum (The Rose) is an integral part of Brandeis University. The Rose is an educational and cultural museum dedicated to collecting, preserving and exhibiting the finest of modern and contemporary art. The programs of the Rose adhere to the overall mission of the University, embracing its values of academic excellence, social justice, and freedom of expression. The rose is active in the academic, cultural, and social life of Brandeis. The Rose seeks to stimulate public awareness and disseminate knowledge of modern and contemporary art to enrich educational, cultural, and artistic communities regionally, nationally, and internationally. It promotes learning and understanding of the evolving meanings, ideas, and forms of visual art relevant to contemporary society.
ENDOWMENT FUNDS PART V, LINE 4 Brandeis University's endowment and quasi-endowment consists of approximately 1,900 individual endowment accounts established for a variety of purposes in accordance with the applicable law and donor intent and funds designated by the University's board to operate as endowment (quasi-endowment). A majority of the funds provide scholarships and financial aid assistance to undergraduate and graduate students. Other uses of the funds include, but are not limited to, support for fellowships, the creation and funding of endowed chairs and professorships, and support for the University's teaching and research activities. The University's endowment investment objectives are to maximize risk-adjusted returns for a long-term horizon. The endowment intends to achieve its objectives by investing in multiple asset classes. In order to meet the primary investment goals for endowment funds, the average annual net total return over an extended period, after adjusting for inflation, is deemed sufficient to support the spending rate as determined by the University's board of trustees. To have a reasonable probability of achieving the endowment's primary investment goal at an acceptable risk level, the investment committee has adopted a long-term asset allocation policy.
FIN 48 (ASC 740) FOOTNOTE PART X, LINE 2 The University is a not-for-profit organization as described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the Code), and is generally exempt from income taxes pursuant to Section 501(a) of the Code. The University is required to assess uncertain tax positions and has determined that there were no such positions that are material to the financial statements.

Also complete this part for any additional information.
Return Reference Explanation
PART I, LINE 1A AND LINE 2 TRAVEL FOR COMPANIONS: According to the University policy, travel for the spouse of the University's president shall only be reimbursed if incurred while conducting business of the University. Such reimbursement requires substantiation as well as review and approval by the board of trustees prior to the reimbursement. During calendar year 2014, the University reimbursed President Lawrence for travel expenses incurred by his spouse while conducting business of the University. Such reimbursements were made in accordance with University policy. None of the reimbursements were treated as taxable compensation. TAX INDEMNIFICATION: President Lawrences 2014 wages were increased to cover the taxes for housekeeping services, personal use of automobile, and moving expenses. HOUSING ALLOWANCE OR RESIDENCE FOR PERSONAL USE: The University provided President Lawrence and Provost Goldstein with housing as conditions of their employment. The residences are both on campus or within close proximity to the University campus and furnished for the benefit and convenience of the University to conduct University-related business and entertainment functions. The value of such housing is excludable from their taxable income under IRS Code Section 119 (d) and was included in their non taxable benefits amount reported on Schedule J, Part II, Column D. PERSONAL SERVICES: According to the University policy, the University is responsible for maintaining the president's residence. The value of the housekeeping services provided to the residence that were personal in nature was included in his Form W-2 and reported on Schedule J. During calendar year 2014, the University provided legal services to four members of senior management. The amount paid by the University was included in the individuals' Form W-2 and reported on Schedule J, Part II, column B(iii). OTHER BUSINESS EXPENSES: The University reimburses its officers and key employees for ordinary and necessary business expenses incurred while conducting business of the University. Such reimbursement is made under an accountable plan and requires substantiation using the original expense documentations and approval by appropriate parties as authorized under University policy.
SEVERANCE OR CHANGE OF CONTROL PAYMENT Part I, Line 4A The university has an Employment and Separation policy that covers members of the senior management group, including some of the listed individuals. The severance provision ranges from 4 weeks to 16 weeks, depending on the term of employment. In addition, some of the listed individuals have a severance provision as part of their employment arrangement. The severance provision ranges from 12 months to 24 months. Other than the payments described below, no amounts were paid to the listed individuals during the calendar year ended December 31, 2014. Frances A. Drolette, Senior Vice President for Finance and Chief Financial Officer, left her position at the end of calendar year 2012. As part of her separation agreement, Ms. Drolette received severance of $105,300, which was included in her W-2 and reported on Schedule J Part II Column B(iii). John Hose, Assistant Secretary of the Corporation, left his postion in June 2013. As part of his separation agreement, Mr. Hose received severance of $125,010, which was included in his W-2 and reported on Schedule J Part II Column B(iii). Mark Collins, Senior Vice President for Administration, left his position at the end of calendar year 2013. As part of his separation agreement, Mr. Collins received severance of $244,012, which was included in his W-2 and reported on Schedule J Part II Column B(iii). Chris O'Brien, former Vice President of Finance and Treasurer, retired from his position in May 2014. As part of his separation agreement, Mr. O'Brien received severance of $140,309 and a transitional allowance of $15,000, which were included in his W-2 and reported on Schedule J Part II Column (B)(iii).
DEFERRED COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENT PART I, LINE 4B President Lawrence participates in a nonqualified deferred compensation arrangement under internal revenue code section 457(f). Provided President Lawrence is employed by the University, the University will credit a deferred compensation account each January 1. On January 1, 2014, the University credited $50,000 to President Lawrence's deferred compensation account. The amount is not vested or taxable and is included in Schedule J, Part II, Column C as deferred compensation. After service as president of the University for over 16 years, Dr. Jehuda Reinharz retired from that position at the end of 2010 and continues to fulfill specified duties as president emeritus and a faculty member. During his tenure, Dr. Reinharz participated in a nonqualified deferred compensation retirement arrangement under IRS Code Section 457(F), including a supplemental executive retirement plan (SERP), designed to provide the equivalent of a pension benefit upon termination of service as president. During calendar year 2014, Dr. Reinharz received a one-time payment of $4,088,614. The annual accrual for this amount was reported in prior years as deferred compensation and is being reported again on his Form W-2 and Schedule J, Part II, column (B)(iii). The total of the prior year accruals is reported on Schedule J, Part II, column (F) and should be subtracted from the total compensation reported in Schedule J, Part II, column (E) to arrive at the true total compensation for services provided to Brandeis for the reporting year.

In a world of challenging social and technological transformation, Brandeis remains a center of open inquiry and teaching, cherishing its independence from any doctrine of government. It strives to reflect the heterogeneity of the United States and of the world community whose ideas and concerns it shares. In the belief that the most important learning derives from the personal encounter and joint work of teachers and students, Brandeis encourages undergraduates and postgraduates to participate with distinguished faculty in research, scholarship and artistic activities.
REVIEW PROCESS FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B Senior management is responsible for drafting Form 990. The completed draft is submitted for review by the University's tax advisory firm. Recommended changes are discussed with senior management and incorporated into the return, as appropriate. For fiscal year 2015, the Board of Trustees has delegated the review of the Form 990 to the Audit Committee. The audit committee reviewed the Form 990 and discussed any questions with senior management and the University's tax advisory firm. After the audit committee review, and prior to filing the completed Form 990, a copy of the Form 990 was sent to each member of the Board of Trustees.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C The Brandeis University conflict of interest policy for trustees, officers and committee members establishes a process whereby potential, apparent and actual conflicts of interest of trustees, officers and non-trustee committee members may properly be avoided or managed so that the best interests of the University are protected. Officers, trustees and committee members complete an annual conflict of interest disclosure form, which is consistent with the policy and the applicable regulatory and auditing requirements. The Investment Committee members complete an annual disclosure form with additional questions related to the University's Investments. Certain senior officers and financial employees are also required to complete an annual disclosure form with respect to the University's investments. The Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees, with the assistance of the SVP & General Counsel, oversees the collection and review of the disclosure forms. In the case of a potential, apparent, or actual related party transaction or other situation presenting a possible conflict of interest, the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees chair is responsible for deciding whether to submit the transaction or situation to the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees or the board for a determination. In addition, the University has established a separate conflict of interest policy for its employees. Under this policy, disclosure forms are completed annually by all senior officers, the President's cabinet, Department chairs, heads of centers and institutes, principal investigators and other designated senior officials and financial personnel. Persons with a conflict are recused from discussions and do not vote of resolutions that pertain directly to their conflict.
COMPENSATION POLICY FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15B The University is committed to attracting, retaining and motivating qualified employees, relating compensation to performance, promoting an equitable relationship between compensation and responsibility and ensuring compliance with law and regulation. This process is the foundation of all hiring, annual performance evaluations and salary adjustments. The Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees is authorized by the Board of Trustees and directed to perform a direct review and approval at regular intervals of the Performance and Compensation of the officers, and where appropriate, other senior management of the University. The Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees utilizes independent external consultants to assist with both the review of compensation agreements and the gathering of comparability data in determining the reasonableness of compensation and compliance with the procedures described in Treasury Regulation Section 53.4958-6. 2014 Compensation as reported on Form 990 Part VII and Schedule J Part II was subject to the direct review and approval of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees.
PUBLIC DISCLOSURE FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION C, LINE 19 The organization's financial statements are available online at www.brandeis.edu/financialaffairs. The University's governing documents are available online at www.brandeis.edu. The organization's Form 990 and audited financial statements are also available at the website of Massachusetts Attorney General.
