Return Reference Explanation
Organization's Lobbying Activities SCHEDULE C, PART II-B, LINE 1J DePaul University incurred $139,067 in costs related to lobbying at the federal, state, and local levels in fiscal 2015/16. The University retains professional service firms to assist in its lobbying at all levels. In addition to state and local executive agencies and legislators, the University contacts legislators, members of legislative staffs, as well as various departments, include the U.S. Department of Education. The Universitys lobbying efforts support higher education policy and funding issues. In addition, in fiscal 2015/16, the University contacted federal officials with regard to the following legislation: Appropriations Bills S.3040: Senate FY17 Labor-HHS-Ed Appropriations Bill HR.5926: House Labor-HHS-Ed Appropriations Bill Other H.R. 3594 (Perkins extension) S. 108 (Senator Alexanders FAST Act) S.J. Res. 34/H.R. 5813 (re: overtime rule) On a state level, the University lobbied the Illinois General Assembly in support of appropriations to the Monetary Award Program and to higher education generally.

The costs for this communication were minimal. Lastly, the University engaged the following firms in support of its lobbying efforts: Cornerstone Government Affairs, Washington, DC Duffy, Tierney, Duffy, Springfield, IL Hynes Law Firm, Chicago, IL

Description of Organization's Collections Schedule D, Part III, Line 4 The University holds a distinctive and historically significant collection, one that well reflects DePaul's tradition and its future. Strong in Midwestern paintings and prints, the museum's collection also holds distinguished modern photographs as well as African sculpture and eastern European graphic design. The University's art collection helps to support its educational mission by allowing both students and members of the wider community the opportunity to explore broadly the visual representation of ideas over time and space. Artworks are used for direct, close-up study and teaching in numerous disciplines.
Escrow or Custodial account liability Schedule D, Part IV, Line 2b The University holds a number of deposits. Deposit amounts related to students include student meal plan deposits. These amounts are credited to the student for use at the University's dining facilities and are transferred to the University's dining facilities service provider, on a periodic basis, as students make purchases. The University also holds a number of security deposits related to University space leased to unrelated entities. Amounts not applied to outstanding balances or space damages are returned to the lessees at the end of their lease. The University holds funds for a number of student organizations. The University holds these amounts in internally designated accounts. Student organizations deposit funds to and request funds from their internal accounts through the University's normal receipting and accounts payable procedures.
Intended Uses of Endowment Funds Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 The purpose of the University's endowment funds is to generate funds which are used to provide student scholarships and financial support for a number of University academic programs.
Liability for uncertain tax position (ASC 740) Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 Below is the FIN 48 footnote as it appears in the University's financial statements. The University has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) recognizing that it is a tax-exempt organization as provided in section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code of 1986 and, except for taxes pertaining to unrelated business income, is exempt from federal and state income taxes. A provision of $266,000 and $260,000 at June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, has been made for income taxes in the accompanying financial statements with respect to unrelated business income, which is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses. The University evaluates, on an annual basis, the effects of any uncertain tax provisions on its financial statements. As of June 30, 2016 and 2015, the University has not identified or provided for any material such positions for tax years 2015 and 2014.

Procedure for monitoring use of grant funds outside the U.S. Schedule F, Part I, Line 2 The University monitors foreign grants through a number of requirements including provisions in grant agreement specifying how grant funds are to be spent, the requirement for both financial and programmatic reports from the grantee and, in some cases, through on-site visits to verify that funds are being administered pursuant to both the university's and the grantor's requirements. Schedule F, Part I, Line 3: Where applicable, scholarship amounts provided to U.S. persons are incorporated into the expense amounts shown on Schedule F, line 3 and represent tuition, living and other expenses paid by the University to educational institutions or third-party service providers for students participating in a foreign academic program.

Schedule F, Part I, Line 3, Column (c): The numbers shown in this column represent both individuals and entities who the University engages as independent contractors to provide support for its various international programs. Schedule F, Part II: With regard to the assistance reported for Europe, this amount includes a contribution made by the University through the funding of an internal agency account, which is available to an international organization to further the charitable purpose for which it is organized in its home country, which includes the alleviation of homelessness throughout the world.

Return Reference Explanation
Procedure for monitoring use of grant funds inside U.S. Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 Contributions made to other charitable organizations are made pursuant to University policy. Contributions by the University are made where they further the University's mission or its role as a good community citizen. All grants, including sub-grants, are accounted for separately by the University's financial accounting system and each is managed by a principal investigator. Financial activity reports are provided to principal investigators on a daily basis, with reconciliation of financial reports required on a monthly basis. Sub-grants are further monitored by obtaining a grantee's A-133 audits and evaluating the grantee's ability to comply with the terms of the sub-grant. All grant monitoring is subject to the policies and procedures of the University, which are designed to meet federal requirements. The University's Office of Institutional Compliance, Office of Research Services, Restricted Accounting and others are charged with ensuring that all DePaul employees are aware of their responsibilities in developing and maintaining a compliance-conscious environment. Additionally, the Office of Institutional Compliance, Office of Research Services, Restricted Accounting, Principal Investigators and others are charged with ensuring that the University's policies and procedures, as well as local, state and federal laws are followed. This is accomplished through conducting risk assessments, monitoring operational activities, providing online, classroom and/or one-on-one training and other tools that foster compliance. Grants and assistance to students represents financial assistance in the form of institutional scholarships. All scholarships are administered through the University's financial aid system. Institutional scholarships are credited to the student's internal account and represent an offset to tuition and other fees assessed by the University. Grants and assistance to University staff and their eligible spouse, dependents, or an unrelated second domiciled adult represent staff tuition waivers, pursuant to a written benefits plan. Staff tuition waivers are administered through the University's benefits system and, like institutional scholarships for students, are credited to the individual's internal account to offset tuition charges. Taxability of tuition waivers is determined pursuant to sections 127 and 117(d) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Part III
Supplemental Information
Provide the information, explanation, or descriptions required for Part I, lines 1a, 1b, 3, 4a, 4b, 4c, 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b, 7, and 8, and for Part II. Also complete this part for any additional information.
Return Reference Explanation
First-Class or Charter Travel Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a First Class Travel - although it is the University's general practice to only pay for coach airfare, air travel other than coach (either first or business class) for officers and key employees is limited to either destinations outside the continental U.S. or when first or business class airfare is the only available airfare based on necessary travel dates. University policy requires additional documentation in the case of first or business class airfare to document the reason of the additional expense. Charter Travel - the University charters aircrafts for the purpose of transporting University athletic teams to various intercollegiate athletic event locations. In instances where a University employee and\or their family member travels on a University chartered flight, without a University business purpose, the University follows the rules under IRS Regulation Section 1.61-21(g) to determine the taxable value, which may be zero, of the chartered travel provided to the employee and/or their family member. Housing Allowance or residence for personal use - personal use of housing is generally based on the provisions of an employee's services agreement with the University. The value of the housing provided is not taxable to the individual to the extent it is a condition of their employment. The value of housing, which is provided, but not as a condition of employment, is taxable to the individual and reported in Schedule J, Part II as other reportable compensation in column (Col B(III)). Travel for Companions - The University occasionally pays for the travel of a staff member's spouse. These instances are generally limited to situations where either the spouse's travel is considered to have a University business purpose or as part of a staff member's services agreement with the University. The University further limits spousal business travel for instances where it believes their presence is in the best interests of the University and does not tax these amounts as additional compensation. The University does tax report, as additional compensation, spousal travel provided as part of a staff member's services agreement and where there is no University business purpose for the travel. Additionally, on rare occasion a staff member's spouse may accompany a DePaul athletic team on a chartered aircraft, if excess seating is available. Please see the above Charter Travel disclosure for additional details regarding such instances. Tax Indemnification and Gross-up payments - such payments are generally provided based on the provisions of an employee's services agreement with the University and are included in column B(III) of Part II. Health Club or Social Club or Initiation fees - such payments are generally provided based on the provisions of an employee's services agreement with the University. Payments for non-business use of such items are taxable to the individual and reported in Schedule J, Part II as other reportable compensation in column (Col B(III)). Personal Services - such payments are generally provided based on the provisions of an employee's services agreement with the University. Payments for such items are taxable to the individual and reported in Schedule J, Part II as other reportable compensation in column (Col B(III)).
Written Policy Regarding Payment or Reimbursement Schedule J, Part I, Line 1b The items indicated for Line 1A, other than first class travel, charter travel, and travel for companions, are generally provided pursuant to an employee's service agreement with the University. Where appropriate, the amounts associated with the items are included in the total compensation as determined under the rebuttable presumption procedures adopted by the University for determining compensation for disqualified persons. Please refer to the Schedule O explanation for Form 990, Part VI-B, Line 15 for a description of the University's process for determining compensation for disqualified persons.
Severance Payment Schedule J, Part I, Line 4a: In March of 2015, Mr. Oliver Purnell's employment with the university was terminated. Pursuant to Mr. Purnell's employment agreement with the university, he received a severance payment which is included in Part II, column (B)(iii) of Schedule J for the indicated amount: Mr. Oliver Purnell $ 2,646,708
Non-Fixed Payments Schedule J, Part I, Line 7: For those individuals listed in form 990, part VII, section A, line 1a, who are eligible, bonuses are paid pursuant to their service agreement with the University. Such agreements generally contain either a dollar or percentage of base salary limit up to which the individual is eligible to receive as a bonus for a fiscal year. Actual bonus amounts received are based on attaining certain performance goals set by the University. In addition, during the fiscal year, the University announced a one-time monetary bonus for university employees. The bonus was effective for all university full and part-time employees, including senior management, who actively worked from July 1, 2014 through the bonus payment date of September 18, 2015. Full-time employees, who met the above criteria, were awarded a bonus of $1,000; while part-time employees, who met the above criteria, were awarded a bonus of $500. The majority of the bonus amount shown for Mr. Leitao was a signing bonus pursuant to his services agreement with the university.
Initial Contract Exception Schedule J, Part I, Line 8 Mr. Marten denBoer assumed the position of Provost and entered into a services agreement with the University on July 1, 2015. Mr. denBoer's compensation, pursuant to his services agreement, was determined under the University's process for establishing a rebuttable presumption of reasonableness. See Schedule O for a detailed explanation of this process. Mr. denBoer was not an employee of the University prior to his appointment as referenced above.
Schedule J, Part II The salary amounts shown for Reverend Holtschneider are paid directly to the eastern province of the Congregation of the Mission religious order. The salary amounts shown for Reverends Richardson and Udovic are paid directly to the western province of the Congregation of the Mission religious order.

Return Reference Explanation
Form 990, Part III, Line 1 Organization's Mission, Continued HOWEVER, IN PURSUING ITS OWN DISTINCTIVE PURPOSES, AMONG THESE THREE FUNDAMENTAL RESPONSIBILITIES THIS UNIVERSITY PLACES HIGHEST PRIORITY ON PROGRAMS OF INSTRUCTION AND LEARNING. ALL CURRICULA EMPHASIZE SKILLS AND ATTITUDES THAT EDUCATE STUDENTS TO BE LIFELONG, INDEPENDENT LEARNERS. DEPAUL PROVIDES SUFFICIENT DIVERSITY IN CURRICULAR OFFERINGS, PERSONAL ADVISEMENT, STUDENT SERVICES, AND EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES TO SERVE STUDENTS WHO VARY IN AGE, ABILITY, EXPERIENCE, AND CAREER INTERESTS. FULL-TIME AND PART-TIME STUDENTS ARE ACCORDED EQUIVALENT SERVICE AND ARE HELD TO THE SAME ACADEMIC STANDARDS. AS A COMPREHENSIVE UNIVERSITY, DEPAUL OFFERS DEGREE PROGRAMS AT THE UNDERGRADUATE AND GRADUATE LEVELS AND A RANGE OF PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMS. THE LIBERAL ARTS AND SCIENCES ARE RECOGNIZED NOT ONLY FOR THEIR INTRINSIC VALUE IN UNDERGRADUATE AND GRADUATE DEGREE PROGRAMS, BUT ALSO BECAUSE THEY ARE FOUNDATIONAL FOR ALL SPECIALIZED UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS AND SUPPORTIVE OF ALL ADVANCED PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMS. THE UNIVERSITY MAINTAINS THAT DEPTH OF SCHOLARSHIP TO OFFER THE DOCTORATE IN SELECTED ACADEMIC DISCIPLINES. LIBRARIES, COMPUTER RESOURCES, AND OTHER ACADEMIC SUPPORT SERVICES MATCH THE LEVELS AND DIVERSITY OF DEGREE PROGRAMS. RESEARCH IS SUPPORTED BOTH FOR ITS INTRINSIC MERIT AND FOR THE PRACTICAL BENEFITS IT OFFERS TO FACULTY, STUDENTS, AND SOCIETY. BROADLY CONCEIVED, RESEARCH AT THE UNIVERSITY ENTAILS NOT ONLY THE DISCOVERY AND DISSEMINATION OF NEW KNOWLEDGE BUT ALSO THE CREATION AND INTERPRETATION OF ARTISTIC WORKS, APPLICATION OF EXPERTISE TO ENDURING SOCIETAL ISSUES, AND DEVELOPMENT OF METHODOLOGIES THAT IMPROVE INQUIRY, TEACHING AND PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE. IN MEETING ITS PUBLIC SERVICE RESPONSIBILITY, THE UNIVERSITY ENCOURAGES FACULTY, STAFF AND STUDENTS TO APPLY SPECIALIZED EXPERTISE IN WAYS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE SOCIETAL, ECONOMIC, CULTURAL AND ETHICAL QUALITY OF LIFE IN THE METROPOLITAN AREA AND BEYOND. WHEN APPROPRIATE, DEPAUL DEVELOPS SERVICE PARTNERSHIPS WITH OTHER INSTITUTIONS AND AGENCIES. STUDENTS AND FACULTY DEPAUL INVITES TO ITS PROGRAMS OF STUDY STUDENTS FROM ACROSS THE NATION. ORIGINALLY FOUNDED FOR STUDENTS FROM THE GREATER CHICAGO AREA, AND STILL SERVING THEM PREDOMINANTLY, DEPAUL CONTINUES ITS COMMITMENT TO THE EDUCATION OF FIRST GENERATION COLLEGE STUDENTS, ESPECIALLY THOSE FROM THE DIVERSE CULTURAL AND ETHNIC GROUPS IN THE METROPOLITAN AREA. ADMISSION STANDARDS FOR ALL DEGREE PROGRAMS ARE SELECTIVE OR HIGHLY SELECTIVE. IN ADMITTING STUDENTS THE UNIVERSITY PLACES GREATEST WEIGHT ON INTELLECTUAL POTENTIAL AND ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT. IT SEEKS DIVERSITY IN STUDENTS SPECIAL TALENTS, QUALITIES, INTERESTS, AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC BACKGROUND. DEPAUL UNIVERSITY SEEKS TO MANAGE ITS RESOURCES EFFECTIVELY SO AS TO CONTROL THE COSTS IT CHARGES STUDENTS FOR PROGRAMS AND SERVICES. MOREOVER, IT MAKES AVAILABLE AS MUCH FINANCIAL AID AS POSSIBLE TO ASSURE ACCESS TO A BROAD RANGE OF TALENTED STUDENTS. THE UNIVERSITY IDENTIFIES AND OFFERS SPECIAL ASSISTANCE TO STUDENTS OF HIGH POTENTIAL WHO HAVE BEEN handicapped by educational, personal or societal obstacles beyond their control. From its first charter DePaul has supported a philosophy which now is expressed as being an equal opportunity educator and employer. DePaul continues to provide equal opportunities to students and employees without regard to age, national origin, race, sex, handicap, creed or color. Moreover, it strives to recruit faculty and staff who reflect the diverse mix of the student body. The faculty, learned yet learning, gives substance to the mission of the university. These men and women personify the intrinsic value of scholarly inquiry and the force of creative and intellectual efforts. Through their dedication to learning, their contributions to a personalistic environment, and their faith in the potential of their students, the faculty and staff serve as role models for students. Distinguishing Marks By reason of its Catholic character, DePaul strives to bring the light of Catholic faith and the treasures of knowledge into a mutually challenging and supportive relationship. It accepts as its corporate responsibility to remain faithful to the Catholic message drawn from authentic religious sources both traditional and contemporary. In particular, it encourages theological learning and scholarship; in all academic disciplines it endorses critical moral thinking and scholarship founded on moral principles which embody religious values and the highest ideals of our society. On the personal level, DePaul respects the religiously pluralistic composition of its members and endorses the interplay of diverse value systems beneficial to intellectual inquiry. Academic freedom is guaranteed both as an integral part of the university's scholarly and religious heritage, and as an essential condition of effective inquiry and instruction. The university derives its title and fundamental mission from St. Vincent de Paul, the founder of the Congregation of the Mission, a religious community whose members, Vincentians, established and continue to sponsor DePaul. Motivated by the example of St. Vincent, who instilled a love of God by leading his contemporaries in serving urgent human needs, the DePaul community is above all characterized by ennobling the God-given dignity of each person. This religious personalism is manifested by the members of the DePaul community in a sensitivity to and care for the needs of each other and of those served, with a special concern for the deprived members of society. DePaul University emphasizes the development of a full range of human capabilities and appreciation of higher education as a means to engage cultural, social, religious, and ethical values in service to others. As an urban university, DePaul is deeply involved in the life of a community which is rapidly becoming global, and is interconnected with it. DePaul both draws from the cultural and professional riches of this community and responds to its needs through educational and public service programs, by providing leadership in various professions, the performing arts, and civic endeavors and in assisting the community in finding solutions to its problems. Other Program Services Part III, Line 4D Auxiliary Services - This category includes expenditures related to areas which help to enrich students overall college experience beyond academics. Expenditures include those related to University housing services, which provided housing for over 2,700 university students during the academic year. Expenditures also support the Universitys student centers, which provide a number of student services, including dining services and student life programs. Expenditures related to the Universitys bookstores are also included in this category, along with student recreation activities, such as the Universitys Ray Meyer Recreation Center. Academic Support - this category includes expenditures related to the provision of instructional support for the University's faculty and students, including University library services, Dean's offices, and information technology. Public Service - this category includes expenditures related to programs that impact the public, including the University's Community Based Service Learning Program, which provides students the opportunity to serve the community, while earning University credit. Also included in this category are expenses related to the University's Center for Urban Education, Community Affairs and the art gallery. Research - this category includes all expenses for activities specifically organized to produce research, whether commissioned by an agency external to the University or separately budgeted by an organizational unit within the University. The category includes expenses for individual and/or project research as well as that of institutes and research centers.
1098-T Forms Form 990, Part V, Line 1A: The total on this line includes 27,726 Form 1098-Ts, which the University is required to file with the IRS and provide to its U.S. person students. Delegation of Authority Form 990, Part VI, Line 1a According to the University's By-Laws, the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees may exercise the authority of the Board at any time. During the fiscal year the Executive Committee of the Board of trustees acted within its authority to exercise the authority of the Board of Trustees on a number of occasions. Such actions included the re-election of University officers, appointment of a new University officer, and to address certain University budget matters. Memebers or Stockholders Form 990, Part VI, Line 6 Election and termination of the University's board of trustees, along with the filling of board vacancies is the duty of the Members of the Corporation. The Members of the Corporation are elected and terminated by the members. Pursuant to the University's articles of incorporation, at least two-thirds of the voting membership of the corporation shall be members of the religious society called the Roman Catholic Church, the Congregation of the Mission. Further, pursuant to the University's by-laws, the provincial superior of the western province of the Congregation of the Mission shall be a member of the corporation. Members are elected by the members and serve three-year terms. The number of members shall be as determined from time to time by the members. In addition to the authority to elect the Board of Trustees, the members may appoint committees to consider specific issues and submit reports and recommendations to the members and may adopt and amend the by-laws of the corporation which affect the authority, rights or duties of the members, or the manner of exercise or performance of same.
Form 990 Review Process Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b Once a draft of the University's Form 990 is completed it is first reviewed internally. A draft of the return is reviewed by the University's Controller. Suggested revisions, if any, are incorporated into the draft Form 990. The draft Form 990 is then reviewed by a public accounting firm, which recommends revisions it feels may be needed. Once revisions, if any, are made, the public accounting firm, which electronically files the return for the University, provides a draft copy of Form 990 to the University. The draft of the Form 990 is then reviewed by the University's Executive Vice President and President. Lastly, the draft of Form 990 is provided to and reviewed by the members of the Audit Committee of the University's Board of Trustees. After review by the Audit Committee, the Form 990 is filed and a final copy of the return, without Schedule B, is posted to the Board of Trustee's website for review by the full Board. It has been determined that Schedule B, which lists information concerning certain donations made to the University during the year, would not be made available to the entire Board of Trustees. This decision was made primarily for confidentiality reasons and to protect listed donor's personal information. Therefore, based on IRS instructions, the University answered "no" to the question. In addition the above reason, IRS guidance also indicates that posting an electronic copy of the Form 990 on a central website for members of its governing body, which the University does, requires an answer of "No" to this question.
Conflict of Interest Policy Monitioring & Enforcement Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c The University has a conflict of interest policy for members of its Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees' conflict of interest policy is subject to periodic review and was most recently reviewed and approved by the board as of the May 2014 Board meeting. The University also has in place, as of the end of the 2015/16 fiscal year, a conflict of interest policy for staff, including University officers and key employees. Although the authority to establish university policies rests with the Board of Trustees, the board has delegated the responsibility for approving institutional policies, including the staff conflict of interest policy, to the president of the University. In conjunction with presidential approval, the University has established a multi-level review process for all University institutional policies, which incorporates input from a number of University constituencies, including faculty, staff and University executives. In addition, all policies are reviewed and updated on an as needed basis, with all policies reviewed, at least, once every three years. With regard to conflict of interest monitoring, on an annual basis University trustees and officers are required to disclose all actual and potential conflicts of interest. Related to trustees, the University has adopted a "Conflict of Interest Policy for Trustees of DePaul University". The policy requires trustees to disclose, in writing, all actual and potential conflicts of interest on an annual basis. Trustees are also required to disclose all actual and potential conflicts of interest that may arise between the normal annual disclosure periods. It is the duty of the trusteeship committee of the Board of Trustees to review and act upon all conflicts disclosed and further to determine whether such disclosures should be referred to the full board for further review. Trustees with conflicts are to refrain from voting or otherwise influencing or attempting to influence a board member or administrator on any decision of the board on a matter in which such conflict exists. Documentation of recusal from voting is captured in the appropriate board or committee minutes. The University has also adopted a "conflict of interest" policy, which pertains to all University employees, including officers and key employees. The policy requires employees to disclose all actual or potential conflicts of interest, in writing, on an annual basis and at any time a conflict or potential conflict may arise between normal annual disclosure periods. Employees who influence or attempt to influence decisions on matters in which any conflict or appearance of a conflict exists, between the employee's personal interests and the interests of the University, must either refrain from involvement in the matter or disclose the conflict in writing, for further review, along with controls for ensuring that the best interests of the University are protected. Conflict disclosures by key employees and all other employees are reviewed and approved by their immediate supervisor and/or the University officer to whom they report, depending on the reporting structure. Conflict disclosures by officers are reviewed and approved by their immediate supervisor and/or the provost or executive vice president, depending on the reporting structure. Conflict disclosures by the provost and executive vice president are reviewed and approved by the president of the University. Conflict disclosures by the president are reviewed and approved by the chairman of the audit committee of the Board of Trustees. Whistleblower and Records Retention and Destruction Policies Form 990, Part VI, Lines 13 & 14 The University had in place, as of the end of the 2015/16 fiscal year, both a whistleblower and records retention and destruction policies. Although the authority to establish University policies rests with the Board of Trustees, the board has delegated the responsibility for approving institutional policies, including the whistleblower and records retention and destruction policies, to the president of the University. In conjunction with presidential approval, the University has established a multi-level review process for all University institutional policies, which incorporates input from a number of University constituencies, including faculty, staff and University executives. In addition, all policies are reviewed and updated on an as needed basis, with all policies reviewed, at least, once every three years.
Process for determing compensation Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a & 15b The annual (fiscal year) process for determining compensation for university officers begins with comparing university positions to those at public and private organizations. For the 2015/16 fiscal year, source data represented 2013 pay data as reported in IRS 990 forms and market survey data from 2014. As such all market data gathered was annualized and aged at a rate of 2.5% from the date of the data source to a common effective date of January 1, 2016. Numerous sources were used for determining annual compensation levels. These data sources are used in determining the annual compensation level recommendations for university officers. DePaul contracts with an outside consultant to review and independently verify the gathered data. Once verified, the data and recommendations are recorded in a Presumption of Reasonable Compensation Report, which is completed by the outside consultant and presented to the Board of Trustee's Executive Compensation Committee. The executive Compensation Committee is charged with reviewing and approving the recommended levels of compensation. The Committee determines the President's compensation, without recommendation. Minutes of the Committee's meetings, including its decisions regarding compensation matters, are recorded by the Committee and maintained by the Office of the Secretary. Below are the positions and dates for which this process was conducted for the 2015/16 fiscal year. Position Date President 6/10/2015 Provost 6/10/2015 Executive Vice President 6/10/2015 Vice President for Finance 6/10/2015 Vice President for Facilities Operations 6/10/2015 Senior Vice President for Advancement 6/10/2015 Vice President and General Counsel 6/10/2015 Vice President for Human Resources 6/10/2015 Controller 6/10/2015 Treasurer 6/10/2015 Senior VP for Enrollment Mgmt and Marketing 6/10/2015 Vice President for PR and Communications 6/10/2015 Vice President for Information Services 6/10/2015 Athletics Director 6/10/2015

In addition, paper copies of the forms are available upon request by the public. Per the form 990 instructions, the University's application for recognition of exemption is not available for public inspection, as it was filed before July 15, 1987 and the University did not have a copy of the application as of that date.
