Return Reference Explanation
Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 Procedures for monitoring use of grant funds. BY INSTITUTIONAL POLICY, TCU'S OFFICE OF SCHOLARSHIP AND FINANCIAL AID ACTS AS THE FINAL APPROVAL AUTHORITY FOR ALL FINANCIAL AID ELIGIBILITY DETERMINATION. EACH STUDENT'S AWARD PACKAGE IS REVIEWED TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS, AND IN THE CASE OF RESTRICTED INSTITUTIONAL FUNDS, WITH THE DONOR'S INTENT AND WISHES. ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIP ELIGIBILITY IS BASED ON A SCORING MATRIX THAT EVALUATES AN INDIVIDUAL STUDENT'S SUCCESS USING NATIONAL TEST SCORES, RANK IN CLASS, AND HIGH SCHOOL GPA. THOSE WHO HAVE EXCELLED ACADEMICALLY ARE GENERALLY GIVEN THE LARGEST SHARE OF UNIVERSITY FUNDED DOLLARS. INSTITUTIONALLY FUNDED NEED-BASED FINANCIAL AID PROGRAMS ARE BASED ON ELIGIBILITY ESTABLISHED BY THE FAFSA. STUDENTS APPLYING FOR NEED-BASED GRANTS ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT THE CSS PROFILE APPLICATION. THE FINANCIAL AID OFFICE ALSO WORKS CLOSELY WITH THE DONOR RELATIONS DIVISION OF UNIVERSITY ADVANCEMENT TO ENSURE THAT OUR DONORS' WISHES ARE MET WHEN MATCHING FUNDS TO STUDENTS. ALL DONORS OF ENDOWED AWARDS ARE PROVIDED WITH A "SCHOLARSHIP AGREEMENT" OUTLINING THE UNIVERSITY'S UNDERSTANDING OF THE DONOR'S INTENT. THESE AGREEMENTS MUST BE APPROVED BY BOTH THE DIRECTOR OF FINANCIAL AID, AND THE VICE-CHANCELLOR FOR ADVANCEMENT, TO ENSURE THAT THE UNIVERSITY HAS THE CAPABILITY TO IDENTIFY APPROPRIATE RECIPIENTS. IN ADDITION TO INSTITUTIONALLY FUNDED GRANTS AND SCHOLARSHIPS, TCU MANAGES AND ACCEPTS FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY FOR A VARIETY OF FEDERAL AND STATE FUNDED FINANCIAL AID PROGRAMS. ELIGIBILITY FOR TITLE IV FEDERAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND STATE FUNDED NEED-BASED AID PROGRAMS IS DETERMINED USING FEDERAL METHODOLOGY AND REQUIRES THE SUBMISSION OF THE FAFSA. PRIOR TO DISBURSEMENT, EACH RECIPIENT MUST PASS A VARIETY OF EDIT CHECKS, OR "DISBURSEMENT RULES" TO ENSURE THAT THE STUDENT IS ENROLLED IN CLASSES AND HAS SUBMITTED ALL REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION NEEDED TO SATISFY PROGRAM ELIGIBILITY. AFTER DISBURSEMENT, STUDENT AID RECIPIENTS ARE REVIEWED AT THE END OF THE 100% TUITION REFUND PERIOD FOR A FINAL ENROLLMENT STATUS DETERMINATION. STUDENTS WHO RECEIVED AID BASED ON PROJECTED FULL-TIME ENROLLMENT, BUT WHO HAVE DROPPED BELOW 12 CREDIT HOURS, ARE SUBJECT TO AN ADJUSTMENT OF THEIR AID PACKAGE. AT THE END OF THE 25%, AND FINAL REFUND PERIOD, STUDENTS ARE AGAIN REVIEWED AND SUBJECT TO AID ADJUSTMENT BASED ON FINAL COSTS FOR THE TERM. AID RECIPIENTS ARE MONITORED ON A REGULAR BASIS THROUGHOUT THE ACADEMIC YEAR. FILES ARE REVIEWED WEEKLY TO IDENTIFY UPDATED FAFSA APPLICATIONS FROM THE FEDERAL PROCESSOR AND ADJUSTMENTS ARE MADE WHEN REQUIRED. REPORTS ARE SUBMITTED TO THE TEXAS HIGHER EDUCATION COORDINATING BOARD PERIODICALLY FOR REVIEW OF STATE AID RECIPIENTS, AND THE UNIVERSITY IS SUBJECT TO PERIODIC AUDITS AND REVIEWS FROM BOTH ENTITIES. ACADEMIC SUCCESS IS THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF ALL AID PROGRAMS, AND SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS IS REVIEWED AT THE END OF EACH TERM. AT A MINIMUM, FULL-TIME STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE AT LEAST 24 CREDIT HOURS AND OBTAIN A 2.00 GPA TO MEET RENEWAL REQUIREMENTS. MOST TCU FUNDED AWARDS REQUIRE A MINIMUM GPA OF 2.50. ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIPS REQUIRE A 3.25 GPA. ONCE POSTED TO STUDENT ACCOUNTS, THE OFFICE OF STUDENT FINANCIAL SERVICES ALSO MONITORS AWARD AMOUNTS IN RELATION TO SPECIFIC CHARGES. AWARD AMOUNTS THAT APPEAR TO BE OUT OF NORM ARE REFERRED BACK TO THE FINANCIAL AID OFFICE FOR REVIEW.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a Process to establish compensation of top management official TCU HAS ESTABLISHED THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE FOR DETERMINING EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION FOR THE CHANCELLOR AND TO ASSURE THAT THE COMPENSATION MEETS THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS STANDARD. TCU'S HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT ANNUALLY REVIEWS DATA FROM ONE NATIONAL SALARY SURVEY AND PROVIDES ANNUAL SALARY SURVEY COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS DATA TO THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE FOR USE IN DETERMINING THE CHANCELLOR'S SALARY. THE HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT ALSO REVIEWS 990 DATA SUBMITTED TO THE IRS FROM OTHER PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES TO REVIEW ANNUAL SALARY INFORMATION AS WELL AS DEFERRED COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS DATA. IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE CHARTER OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD APPOINTS A SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD ANNUALLY TO EVALUATE PERFORMANCE AND TO ASSURE THAT COMPENSATION FOR THE CHANCELLOR IS REASONABLE AND THAT ADEQUATE DOCUMENTATION IS MAINTAINED FOR SUPPORTING THE REASONABLENESS OF COMPENSATION PAID. THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD SERVES AS THE CHAIR OF THE SUBCOMMITTEE. THE SUBCOMMITTEE'S CHARGE INCLUDES REVIEWING THE CHANCELLOR'S SELF-EVALUATION, REVIEWING ANY OTHER MATERIALS SUBMITTED BY THE CHANCELLOR AS PART OF THE EVALUATION, CONSIDERING ANY SPECIFIC REQUESTS PUT FORTH BY THE CHANCELLOR, AND REVIEWING THE COMPENSATION PARAMETERS CURRENTLY APPLIED TO THE CHANCELLOR.

IN ADDITION, AN INDEPENDENT LAW FIRM WAS USED BY THE SUBCOMMITTEE TO PREPARE AN EXCESS BENEFIT TRANSACTION LETTER, IN WHICH THE LAW FIRM OPINED THAT THE CHANCELLOR'S COMPENSATION FOR FISCAL YEAR 2016 DID NOT RESULT IN AN EXCESS BENEFIT TRANSACTION. THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD PRESENTS THE SUBCOMMITTEE'S FINAL EVALUATION OF THE CHANCELLOR'S PERFORMANCE AND COMPENSATION RECOMMENDATION TO THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD IN AN EXECUTIVE SESSION AT THE NEXT SCHEDULED MEETING.

THE CHANCELLOR MAINTAINS RELEVANT DOCUMENTATION USED FOR SALARY DETERMINATIONS. TO FACILITATE THE CHANCELLOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES, TCU'S HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT ANNUALLY REVIEWS TWO SOURCES OF SALARY SURVEY DATA FOR SALARY COMPARISON PURPOSES WITH TCU'S EXECUTIVE LEVEL POSITIONS. EACH SPRING WHEN THE NEW SURVEY DATA IS RELEASED, TCU'S HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT REVIEWS THE DATA AND SUMMARIZES THE RESULTS INTO A REPORT IDENTIFYING SALARY INFORMATION FOR THE FOLLOWING POSITIONS: CHANCELLOR, VICE CHANCELLORS, DEANS, AND UNIT HEADS WHOSE JOBS CAN BE MATCHED TO SURVEY DATA. EACH YEAR THE SUPERVISING ADMINISTRATOR MEETS WITH SUBORDINATES AND EVALUATES THEIR PERFORMANCE. THIS EVALUATION BECOMES THE BASIS FOR DETERMINING THE AMOUNT OF THE MERIT INCREASE TO BE AWARDED USING THE SALARY SURVEY SUMMARY OF DATA AS A GUIDELINE FOR MAKING THIS DECISION. THIS PROCESS WAS LAST UNDERTAKEN FOR OFFICERS AND OTHER SENIOR EMPLOYEES IN 2016. AN INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTING FIRM WAS USED BY THE SUBCOMMITTEE TO ASSIST IN EVALUATING AND ESTABLISHING THE COMPENSATION FOR DISQUALIFIED PERSONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2016. THE INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTING FIRM PERFORMED AN EXECUTIVE TOTAL REMUNERATION EVALUATION THAT CONFIRMED THE APPROPRIATE PEER GROUP FOR BENCHMARKING PURPOSES; GATHERED COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS DATA FOR EACH OF THE PEERS FROM FORM 990 FILINGS, ADJUSTING DATA AS NEEDED, AND MATCHING EACH EXECUTIVE TO THE APPROPRIATE ROLE; GATHERED ADDITIONAL DATA FROM SALARY SURVEYS PROVIDED BY TCU; DETERMINED THE MARKET POSITIONING OF EACH EXECUTIVE'S TOTAL REMUNERATION RELATIVE TO THE COMPARATOR GROUPS; PREPARED A REPORT SUMMARIZING FINDINGS AND DISCUSSED FINDINGS WITH TCU; AND PREPARED A REASONABLENESS OPINION LETTER DOCUMENTING TCU'S FINAL PAY DECISIONS REGARDING THE EXECUTIVES.

THE VICE CHANCELLOR MAINTAINS RELEVANT DOCUMENTATION USED FOR SALARY DETERMINATIONS. TO FACILITATE THE VICE CHANCELLOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES, THE HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT ANNUALLY REVIEWS TWO SOURCES OF SALARY DATA FOR SALARY COMPARISON PURPOSES WITH TCU'S EXECUTIVE LEVEL INVESTMENT STAFF. THE HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT ALSO ANNUALLY USES A CALCULATION THAT INCLUDES A QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS BASED ON THE PERFORMANCE OF THE ENDOWMENT. THE HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT REVIEWS THE DATA AND SUMMARIZES THE RESULTS INTO A REPORT INDENTIFYING SALARY INFORMATION FOR THE CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER. THIS REPORT BECOMES THE BASIS FOR DETERMINING THE AMOUNT OF MERIT INCREASE TO BE AWARDED. THIS PROCESS WAS LAST UNDERTAKEN FOR THE CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER IN 2016.
