Schedule D, Part IV, Line 2b Explanation of escrow agreement The amount represents the University acting in an agency capacity for various student and professional organizations as well as outside scholarships.
Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 Intended uses of endowment funds The primary objective of the Endowment portfolio is to preserve and enhance the real purchasing power of the portfolio assets to help maintain intergenerational equity of the corpus. This will occur while also providing reasonable annual support to Baylor.
Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote TAX STATUS & ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES The University is exempt from income tax under Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") of 1986, as amended, as an organization described in section 501(c)(3) of the IRC as evidenced by its most recent determination letter dated May 23, 2002. The University has been classified as an organization that is not a private foundation because it qualifies under section 509(a)(1) as an educational institution, and donations to it qualify for deduction as charitable contributions. However, income generated from activities unrelated to the University's exempt purpose is subject to tax under IRC section 511. The University files unrelated business income tax and other returns as required by government authorities. Tax positions taken related to the University's tax exempt status, unrelated business income activities taxable income and deductibility of expenses, and other miscellaneous tax positions taken by the University would more likely than not be sustained by examination. Accordingly, the University has not recorded an income tax liability for uncertain tax benefits. As of May 31, 2016, the University's tax years ended May 31, 2013 through 2016, generally, remain subject to examination.

Return Reference Explanation
Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 Procedures for monitoring use of grant funds. Grants and Other Assistance to Individuals in the United States: Scholarships and fellowships that are awarded to students are paid through the students' accounts and/or a payment through the Payroll Office and are administered based upon merit and/or need. Baylor's Financial Aid Office reviews the students' cumulative grade point averages every year and awards/reviews academic scholarships and fellowships if the required grade point average level is satisfied. Scholarships for financial need are awarded annually based upon whether the need criterion/level is established or maintained per the completed Application for Federal Student Aid. The scholarship awards cannot exceed the cost of a student to attend the University. Travel Grants - Travel grants are awarded to students to offset travel expenses used for educational purposes such as attending a conference, presenting a paper, etc. The awarding of travel grants is based upon an application process and meeting a set of criteria that establish the benefits to the students' educational endeavors. Research Grants - The Office of the Vice Provost for Research (OVPR) publishes guidelines for each of the internal grant programs that provide the general conditions of the award, as well as guidance on the expenses that may be charged to the award. Each grant is set up as a separate project in the University's financial system based on the award amount and budget categories approved by the OVPR and administered through the Office of Sponsored Programs. The financial system provides real time access to a Budget Summary Report for the project that provides a comparison of budgeted expenditures to cumulative actual expenditures by expenditure category. This report can be accessed by the Project Manager and others with administrative and financial oversight responsibilities. Expenditure transactions under internal grant programs are subject to internal controls for approval and processing similar to other University expenditure transactions. The system does not allow expenditures to be processed in excess of or outside of the approved budget categories. Student Awards - These awards are provided to students for winning educational competitions. The purpose of the competitions is to further the education of students. Grants and Other Assistance to Governments and Organizations in the United States: The University enters into a contract with the grant recipient that describes the recipient's responsibilities for the use of the grant funds. Under the terms of the contract, recipients are required to submit quarterly and final written progress reports to the principal investigator ("PI") or project director for the grant, and funds are paid to the recipient on a cost reimbursable basis. When the grant recipient submits an invoice for reimbursement, the PI reviews the invoice to ensure the expenditures are consistent with the established budget and with the work completed to date, prior to approving the amount for payment. Grant recipients subject to the U.S. Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133 Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations are also required to provide certification of their compliance with the financial audit requirements of those guidelines prior to receiving funds. Thereafter, the University requires an annual certification of continuing compliance and a copy of their most recent audit report. If any of the above processes indicate an area of concern, site visits may be conducted by the University to review the programmatic and/or financial records. Charitable organizations that receive contributions from the University are carefully selected and must be approved through the Vice President for Constituent Engagement & Chief of Staff. The contribution must support the University's interest and be consistent with the University's core values.

Return Reference Explanation
Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a First-class or charter travel The President and Chancellor used charter flights to conduct University business such as attending meetings, speaking engagements and donor cultivation events. The Vice President & Director of Athletics used charter flights to attend the Big 12 Coaches Meeting and attend donor cultivation event. Highly compensated employees traveled on charter flights with their respective athletic teams to attend athletic events. Some Baylor Regents and/or officers occasionally traveled on a charter flight provided for Athletic Department team travel to engage in donor development efforts and event oversight on behalf of the University. Charter flights were used by highly compensated employees for student athletic recruiting purposes, attending events such as media events, donor related activities, Big 12 coaches meeting, business luncheons, speaking engagements, awards ceremonies honoring Baylor athletes, and coaching conferences/clinics. Charter flights were reviewed by the University and any part of a flight that was not business related was reported as taxable compensation. The President and Chancellor traveled first-class on approximately five flights during 2015. Travel by the President and Chancellor was reviewed by the Regent's Audit and Compliance Committee including all first-class travel.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a Travel for companions Occasionally, guests or family members of listed persons were provided travel. The University policy and practice is to review travel activities that occur throughout the year and report the value of such travel as taxable compensation to listed persons if no bona fide business purpose existed for the companion travel.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a Tax indemnification and gross-up payments Men's and Women's head basketball coaches had personal travel stipend grossed-up to provide contractual amount owed by the University.

Additionally, Head Baseball coach and Vice President for University Development received gross-up payments per employment arrangement covering the additional taxes owed on supplemental payments for children's tuition costs. These full amounts were reported as taxable income including the tax on the gross-up payments. The University may occasionally gross-up other payments, but all such payments are included in the taxable income of the applicable employee.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a Housing allowance or residence for personal use The former Interim Provost and Interim Executive Vice President & Provost received a minister's housing allowance which was associated with the provision of services related to duties and thus appropriately not reported as taxable compensation. Baylor provided Vice President for University Development and Head Baseball coach with temporary housing during their transition to beginning work at the University. This temporary housing was reported as taxable income. Baylor provided Executive Vice President & Provost with housing per his employment agreement. This housing was reported as taxable income. Baylor provided President and Chancellor with a house as a condition of employment and for the convenience of the University. The provision of the house was not included as taxable compensation.

The Baylor aircraft policy is only applicable to Baylor-provided charter travel. Other charter travel used by the Athletic Department for team travel is based upon the need of the sport. Social club memberships are reported as taxable income. Tax indemnification and gross-up payments require Board of Regents approval.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a Process to establish compensation of top management official Baylor's procedures and practices in support of the Board of Regents Guidelines for Board Operations ensure that compensation arrangements for the President & Chancellor must be approved by the Board in order to go into effect. A Regent subcommittee conducts the President & Chancellor assessment process and obtains and reviews appropriate comparable compensation data annually and as needed in order to review and approve compensation arrangements. The comparability data comes from a variety of sources which includes the College and University Professional Association for Human Resources surveys, Western Management Group Surveys, The Chronicle for Higher Education, and outside consultant surveys that include salaries and/or benefits data. The Regent subcommittee reviews the reasonableness of compensation arrangements against the comparability data as well as the performance of the President & Chancellor and documents the basis of their determinations and actions concurrent with making the determination. The documentation includes the terms of the transaction, the date of approval, the names of the Regent subcommittee members present during the review and vote on the transaction, the comparability data relied upon and the basis for the determination. The Regent subcommittee subsequently presents its recommendations to the full Regent Board for approval, which is concurrently documented as well. This process was done in 2015-2016.
