Return Reference Explanation
SCHEDULE D, PART I, COLUMN (B) COLUMN (B) REPRESENTS FUNDS CREATED TO MAKE GRANTS ONLY WITHIN THE UNIVERSITY. SCHEDULE D, PART I, LINE 2 INCLUDED IN AGGREGATE CONTRIBUTIONS TO FUNDS ARE NEW GIFTS AS WELL AS TRANSFERS FROM OTHER ACCOUNTS WITHIN THE UNIVERSITY. SCHEDULE D, PART III, LINE 1A WORKS OF ART, HISTORICAL TREASURES, LITERARY WORKS AND ARTIFACTS, WHICH ARE PRESERVED AND PROTECTED FOR EDUCATIONAL, RESEARCH AND PUBLIC EXHIBITION PURPOSES, ARE NOT CAPITALIZED. DONATIONS OF SUCH COLLECTIONS ARE NOT RECORDED FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENT PURPOSES. PURCHASES OF COLLECTION ITEMS ARE RECORDED AS OPERATING EXPENSES IN THE PERIOD IN WHICH THEY ARE ACQUIRED. PROCEEDS FROM SALES OF SUCH ITEMS ARE USED TO ACQUIRE OTHER ITEMS FOR THE COLLECTIONS.
SCHEDULE D, PART III, LINE 4 THE CANTOR ARTS CENTER AT STANFORD UNIVERSITY IS A MUSEUM COMMITTED TO INTELLECTUAL EXPLORATION AND THE PURSUIT OF KNOWLEDGE, FOSTERING A SENSE OF DISCOVERY THROUGH DIRECT EXPERIENCES WITH WORKS OF ART. THE CENTER COLLECTS, PRESERVES, AND STUDIES ART FROM ALL CULTURES AND PERIODS, SERVING THE UNIVERSITY AND THE PUBLIC THROUGH EXHIBITIONS AND PROGRAMS THAT INSPIRE THE UNDERSTANDING AND ENJOYMENT OF ART. THE ANDERSON COLLECTION IS AN OUTSTANDING ASSEMBLAGE OF MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN ART. THE COLLECTION IS ANCHORED IN THE WORK OF THE NEW YORK SCHOOL AND KEY MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS COLLECTED IN DEPTH, ACROSS MEDIA. MAJOR MOVEMENTS REPRESENTED INCLUDE ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONISM, COLOR FIELD PAINTING, POST-MINIMALISM, CALIFORNIA FUNK ART, BAY AREA FIGURATIVE ART, LIGHT AND SPACE, AND CONTEMPORARY PAINTING AND SCULPTURE. THE 121-WORK COLLECTION FEATURES 86 ARTISTS, INCLUDING JACKSON POLLACK, HELEN FRANKENTHALER AND RICHARD DIEBENKORN. ADMISSION TO THE MUSEUM IS FREE. THE COLLECTION, BUILT OVER 50 YEARS, WAS DONATED TO STANFORD BY HARRY W. AND MARY MARGARET ANDERSON AND MARY PATRICIA ANDERSON PENCE. SCHEDULE D, PART V, LINES 1B & 1E "CONTRIBUTIONS" (LINE 1B) INCLUDE CERTAIN INVESTMENT INCOME, CURRENT YEAR GIFTS TO ENDOWMENT, MATURED LIVING TRUSTS DIRECTED TO ENDOWMENT, AND CERTAIN OTHER FUNDS TRANSFERRED INTO THE ENDOWMENT. INCLUDED IN "OTHER EXPENDITURES FOR FACILITIES AND PROGRAMS" (LINE 1E) ARE FUNDS DISTRIBUTED ANNUALLY FROM ENDOWMENT PRINCIPAL TO SUPPORT SUCH FACILITIES AND PROGRAMS. PLEASE SEE FURTHER DISCUSSION BELOW IN "INTENDED USES OF THE ENDOWMENT FUNDS". SCHEDULE D, PART V, LINE 2 BOARD DESIGNATED OR QUASI ENDOWMENT FUNDS ARE UNIVERSITY RESOURCES DESIGNATED BY THE BOARD AS ENDOWMENT AND ARE INVESTED FOR LONG-TERM APPRECIATION AND CURRENT INCOME. THESE ASSETS, HOWEVER, REMAIN AVAILABLE AND MAY BE SPENT AT THE BOARD'S DISCRETION. THE UNIVERSITY CLASSIFIES AS PERMANENT ENDOWMENT A) THE ORIGINAL VALUE OF GIFTS DONATED TO THE PERMANENT ENDOWMENT AND B) ACCUMULATIONS TO THE PERMANENT ENDOWMENT MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DIRECTION OF THE APPLICABLE DONOR GIFT INSTRUMENT AT THE TIME THE ACCUMULATION IS ADDED TO THE FUND. THE REMAINING PORTION OF THE DONOR-RESTRICTED ENDOWMENT FUND THAT IS NOT CLASSIFIED IN PERMANENT ENDOWMENT IS CLASSIFIED AS TEMPORARILY RESTRICTED ENDOWMENT UNTIL THOSE AMOUNTS ARE AUTHORIZED FOR EXPENDITURE. IN THE ABSENCE OF DONOR STIPULATIONS OR LAW TO THE CONTRARY, NET UNREALIZED LOSSES ON PERMANENTLY RESTRICTED ENDOWMENT FUNDS FIRST REDUCE RELATED APPRECIATION ON TEMPORARILY RESTRICTED NET ASSETS AND THEN ON UNRESTRICTED NET ASSETS, AS NEEDED, UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE FAIR VALUE OF THE FUND EQUALS OR EXCEEDS HISTORIC VALUE. SCHEDULE D, PART V, LINE 3A(II) AND LINE 3B INCLUDED IN THE ENDOWMENT BALANCE ON LINE 1G ARE THE ASSETS OF SHR HOLDINGS, INC., A RELATED ORGANIZATION.
SCHEDULE D, PART V, LINE 4 INTENDED USES OF THE ENDOWMENT FUNDS IN 1885, LELAND AND JANE LATHROP STANFORD SAID OF THEIR FOUNDING GRANT "IT SHALL CONSTITUTE THE FOUNDATION AND ENDOWMENT FOR THE UNIVERSITY HEREIN PROVIDED, AND UPON THE TRUST THAT THE PRINCIPAL THEREOF SHALL FOREVER REMAIN INTACT, AND THAT THE RENTS, ISSUES, AND PROFITS THEREOF SHALL BE DEVOTED TO THE FOUNDATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE UNIVERSITY HEREBY FOUNDED AND ENDOWED, AND THE USES AND PURPOSES HEREIN MENTIONED." TODAY, STANFORD'S ENDOWMENT CONSISTS OF THOUSANDS OF INDIVIDUAL FUNDS, MANY OF WHICH ARE RESTRICTED TO PARTICULAR USES (E.G., SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS FOR UNDERGRADUATES, FELLOWSHIP FUNDS TO SUPPORT GRADUATE STUDENTS, RESEARCH FUNDS DIRECTED TO MANY DIFFERENT AREAS, PROGRAM SUPPORT FUNDS, FUNDS TO SUPPORT PROFESSORS, FUNDS TO SUPPORT LECTURES, FUNDS TO PROVIDE BUILDING AND GROUND MAINTENANCE, FUNDS TO SUPPORT THE UNIVERSITY'S MUSEUM, FUNDS TO SUPPORT THE ACQUISITION OF LIBRARY MATERIALS). THE FUNDS ARE INVESTED IN PERPETUITY FOR LONG TERM GROWTH AND THE PAYOUT FROM AN ENDOWMENT FUND IS USED FOR THE PURPOSE SET FORTH IN THE GIFT DOCUMENT. SOME ENDOWMENT FUNDS DO NOT HAVE PURPOSE RESTRICTIONS AND THE PAYOUT FROM THESE FUNDS IS USED TO SUPPORT THE GENERAL OPERATIONS AND INFRASTRUCTURE OF THE UNIVERSITY AS WELL AS MANY OTHER PARTS OF THE UNIVERSITY. ENDOWMENT PAYOUT IS A RELIABLE SOURCE OF CONTINUING SUPPORT AND IS CRUCIAL TO THE FUNDING OF THE MANY LONG TERM COMMITMENTS THAT THE UNIVERSITY MUST MAKE. THE ENDOWMENT MAKES STANFORD LESS DEPENDENT ON OTHER MORE VARIABLE SOURCES OF INCOME. THE ENDOWMENT PAYOUT COVERS APPROXIMATELY 23% OF STANFORD'S TOTAL EXPENSES. STANFORD IS CURRENTLY DIRECTING CONSIDERABLE RESEARCH AND EDUCATION EFFORTS TOWARD ADDRESSING THE CHALLENGES CRUCIAL TO THE WORLD. IN PARTICULAR, IT IS SEEKING SOLUTIONS TO SOME OF THE MOST CHALLENGING PROBLEMS IN HUMAN HEALTH, INTERNATIONAL PEACE AND SECURITY, AND THE ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABILITY. ONE OF THE UNIVERSITYS HIGHEST PRIORITIES IS TO REMAIN AFFORDABLE AND ACCESSIBLE TO THE MOST TALENTED STUDENTS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR FINANCIAL CIRCUMSTANCES. THE UNIVERSITYS ADMISSION PROCESS FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS FROM THE UNITED STATES IS NEED-BLIND, WHICH MEANS THAT STUDENTS ARE ADMITTED IRRESPECTIVE OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY; THE UNIVERSITY PROVIDES THE FINANCIAL AID NECESSARY TO MAKE STANFORD AFFORDABLE TO EVERY ADMITTED STUDENT. FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS, THE UNIVERSITY IS NEED-AWARE: STANFORD ANALYZES THE NEED FOR AID AND AIMS TO MEET THE DETERMINED NEED. SINCE 2000, THE UNIVERSITY HAS CONTINUED TO ENHANCE ITS FINANCIAL AID PROGRAMS FOR BOTH ITS UNDERGRADUATE AND GRADUATE STUDENTS. CURRENTLY, FAMILIES WITH TYPICAL ASSETS FROM THE U.S. WITH INCOMES BELOW $125,000 PAY NO TUITION, AND THOSE WITH INCOMES BELOW $65,000 PAY NO TUITION, ROOM OR BOARD. IN FY16, APPROXIMATELY HALF OF UNDERGRADUATES WERE AWARDED NEED-BASED FINANCIAL AID FROM STANFORD. GRADUATE STUDENT FINANCIAL AID AND OTHER SUPPORT IS AWARDED BASED ON ACADEMIC MERIT AND THE AVAILABILITY OF AID. IN THE FACE OF DIMINISHING FEDERAL SUPPORT, STANFORD HAS ASSUMED MORE OF THE FINANCIAL WEIGHT OF SUPPORTING ITS GRADUATE STUDENTS. IN FY16, APPROXIMATELY 82% OF GRADUATE STUDENTS RECEIVED FINANCIAL SUPPORT. THE KNIGHT-HENNESSY SCHOLARS PROGRAM WILL BE AN ADDITIONAL SOURCE OF GRADUATE STUDENT SUPPORT WHEN ITS FIRST COHORT BEGINS THEIR STUDIES IN FALL 2018. THE PROGRAM PROVIDES FULL FUNDING FOR THREE YEARS TO ENABLE GRADUATE STUDENTS TO PURSUE ADVANCED DEGREES AND DEVELOP THE CAPACITY TO LEAD AND BRING ABOUT POSITIVE CHANGES IN THE WORLD. THE UNIVERSITY IS ALSO MINDFUL OF STUDENT DEBT, AND IT DOES NOT EXPECT STUDENTS TO BORROW TO MEET THEIR NEED. OVER 75 PERCENT OF STANFORD UNDERGRADUATES GRADUATE WITH NO DEBT. FOR THOSE WHO BORROW, MEDIAN DEBT IN 2015 WAS $16,417. FOR THE YEAR ENDED AUGUST 31, 2016, ENDOWMENT PAYOUT SUPPORT INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING BROAD FUNCTIONS OF THE UNIVERSITY: INSTRUCTION AND RESEARCH $316,069,993 STUDENT FINANCIAL AID $257,975,598 LIBRARIES $20,416,450
SCHEDULE D, PART X, LINE 2 ASC 740 LIABILITY - IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE GUIDANCE ON ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES, MANAGEMENT REGULARLY EVALUATES ITS TAX POSITIONS AND DOES NOT BELIEVE THE UNIVERSITY HAS ANY UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS THAT REQUIRE DISCLOSURE OR ADJUSTMENT TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

Also complete this part to provide any additional information (see instructions).
ReturnReference Explanation
PART I: LINE 2: PROCEDURES FOR MONITORING THE USE OF GRANT FUNDS OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES: PROCEDURES FOR MONITORING THE USE OF GRANT FUNDS OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES (US) ARE PRINCIPALLY GOVERNED BY THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH THE FUNDS WERE GRANTED. FOR THE VAST MAJORITY OF ENROLLED STUDENTS, FINANCIAL AID AMOUNTS, SUCH AS GRANTS, STIPENDS, FELLOWSHIPS AND SCHOLARSHIPS TO US PERSONS FOR STUDY ABROAD ARE PAID BY DIRECT DEPOSIT TO STUDENT US BANK ACCOUNTS IN THE AT THE TIME OF CONSTRUCTIVE RECEIPT OF THESE FUNDS IN THE US, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT STUDENTS (PARTICULARLY DOCTORAL STUDENTS) MIGHT BE TRAVELING, OR "LIVING", OUTSIDE OF THE US DURING THE COURSE OF THEIR ACADEMIC WORK, OR EVEN FOR PERSONAL PURPOSES. STANFORD REQUIRES THAT STUDENTS WHO ARE RECEIVING FINANCIAL AID MAINTAIN THEIR REGISTRATION STATUS, AND BE ENROLLED FOR ACADEMIC CREDIT IN UNIVERSITY-APPROVED PROGRAMS. THE UNIVERSITY DOES NOT BROADLY CONSIDER FINANCIAL AID DISBURSEMENTS IN THE US TO ENROLLED STUDENTS AS "GRANTS TO FOREIGN INDIVIDUALSTHEREFORE, DOES NOT TRACK PAYMENTS IN THAT MANNER. ACCORDINGLY, THOSE GRANTS PAID OUTSIDE OF THE US, OR SUBAWARD GRANTS FOR USE OUTSIDE THE US FOR PROGRAMS WHICH HAVE A READILY IDENTIFIABLE FOREIGN COMPONENT THAT IS SEPARATELY TRACKED ARE REPORTED ON SCHEDULE F. PROCEDURES FOR MONITORING SUB-AWARDS (DISCUSSED FURTHER BELOW UNDER GRANTMAKING) INCLUDES AN INITIAL RISK ASSESSMENT OF THE RECIPIENT TOGETHER WITH AN AUDIT/FINANCIALS REVIEW. THIS ASSESSMENT DETERMINES THE SCOPE OF AGREEMENT TERMS TO ENSURE SAFE-HANDLING OF THE AWARD. IN ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL OMB UNIFORM GUIDANCE, THE SUB-RECIPIENT IS REQUIRED TO ANNUALLY COMPLETE A QUESTIONNAIRE DESIGNED TO ASSESS CERTAIN ASPECTS OF THE ENTITY'S INTERNAL CONTROLS AND FINANCIAL STATUS. THIS INFORMATION IS COLLECTED AND REVIEWED BY SPONSORED RESEARCH SPECIALISTS. INVOICES SUBMITTED TO THE UNIVERSITY BY THE SUB-RECIPIENT ARE REVIEWED TO ENSURE THAT CHARGED EXPENSES MEET BOTH INTERNAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES, AS WELL AS FEDERAL STANDARDS. AWARDS ARE MONITORED ON AN ONGOING BASIS BY MEETING, REPORT OR COMMUNICATION, BY BOTH THE AWARD PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR AND THE UNIVERSITY'S SUB-RECIPIENT MONITORING OFFICER TO ENSURE THAT PROGRESS IS BEING MADE AS AGREED.
PART I: LINE 3: DETAILS FOR EACH TYPE OF ACTIVITY CONDUCTED IN EACH REGION AND THE METHOD USED TO ACCOUNT FOR EXPENDITURES ON PART I, COLUMN (F): AS A LEADING RESEARCH INSTITUTION, STANFORD UNIVERSITY CONDUCTS ACTIVITIES WORLDWIDE IN PURSUIT OF ITS ACADEMIC MISSION OF EDUCATION, RESEARCH AND PATIENT CARE. ITS STUDENTS, FACULTY AND ALUMNI COMMUNITIES ARE SIMILARLY INTERNATIONAL IN CHARACTER, AND SEEK TO COLLABORATE IN AN INTERDEPENDENT WORLD TO UNDERSTAND AND SOLVE GLOBAL CHALLENGES. THE UNIVERSITY HAS REPORTED ON SCHEDULE F EXPENDITURES RELATING TO FOREIGN ACTIVITIES THAT ARE TRACKED IN THE ACCOUNTING SYSTEM, IN ACCORDANCE WITH U.S. GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES. 1.PROGRAM SERVICES: PROGRAM SERVICES INCLUDE ACTIVITIES RELATING TO THE CORE INSTITUTIONAL MISSION OF TEACHING, RESEARCH AND PATIENT CARE. FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENT PURPOSES, EXPENDITURES ARE REPORTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH U.S. GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES. -TRAVEL STUDY: TRAVEL STUDY INCLUDES EXPENSES INCURRED IN REGION FOR STUDENTS TO EXAMINE GLOBAL ISSUES IN A FACULTY LED GROUP-LEARNING ENVIRONMENT. -STUDY TOURS: STUDY TOURS INCLUDE EXPENSES INCURRED IN THE REGION FOR ALUMNI ASSOCIATION SPONSORED STUDY TRIPS. -STUDY ABROAD: STUDY ABROAD INCLUDES OPERATING EXPENSES INCURRED IN THE REGION FOR STANFORD-RUN UNDERGRADUATE FOREIGN STUDY PROGRAMS. CONSISTENT WITH FINANCIAL STATEMENT TREATMENT; WHERE SALARIES ARE INCURRED, A COST ALLOCATION FOR FRINGE BENEFITS IS ALSO REPORTED. -STANFORD LINEAR ACCELERATOR (SLAC): SLAC INCLUDES SALARIES FOR PERSONNEL PLACED INTERNATIONALLY, AND FOREIGN TRAVEL EXPENSES. -RESEARCH: RESEARCH INCLUDES CONTRACT PAYMENTS TO FOREIGN SUB-RECIPIENTS AND DIRECT COSTS INCURRED REGIONALLY FOR ACADEMIC RESEARCH PROJECTS, INCLUDING PAYMENTS FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES ENGAGED TO FURTHER THE RESEARCH PURPOSE. -FOREIGN TRAVEL: FOREIGN TRAVEL IS CATEGORIZED SEPARATELY IN THE ACCOUNTING SYSTEM TO MEET COST PRINCIPLES OF OMB REQUIREMENTS. -FOREIGN CENTER: FOREIGN CENTER REPRESENTS EXPENSES INCURRED FOR THE OPERATION, SUPPORT, MAINTENANCE, AND MANAGEMENT OF FACILITIES IN THE EAST ASIA/PACIFIC REGION TO HOUSE STANFORD FACULTY, STAFF, AND STUDENTS ENGAGED IN ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES. -EDUCATION: THIS INCLUDES PROGRAM FUNDING FOR US FACULTY AND STUDENTS FOR ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES CONDUCTED INTERNATIONALLY. STANFORD ALSO OFFERS EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS TO NON-MATRICULATED STUDENTS. -CONFERENCES AND SEMINARS: CONFERENCES AND SEMINARS INCLUDE EXPENSES INCURRED FOR LODGING, TRANSPORTATION AND MEALS FOR FACULTY AND STUDENTS TO ATTEND AND PRESENT RESEARCH FINDINGS. 2.INVESTMENTS: IN THE INTERESTS OF PRUDENT STEWARDSHIP OF ITS ENDOWMENT FUNDS, THE UNIVERSITY SEEKS TO MAINTAIN A DIVERSIFIED INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO OF ACTIVELY MANAGED FINANCIAL AND REAL ESTATE ASSETS LOCATED THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. DIVERSIFICATION AIMS TO ENSURE THAT THE ENDOWMENT GENERATES RETURNS THAT BOTH MEETS CURRENT OPERATING INCOME NEEDS AND PROVIDES FOR SUPPORT OF FUTURE STUDENTS AND PROGRAMS. THE PORTFOLIO IS CONSTRUCTED ON A FOUNDATION OF MODERN PORTFOLIO THEORY AND STRATEGIC ALLOCATION, SEEKING TO OPTIMIZE LONG-TERM RETURNS, CREATE CONSISTENT ANNUAL PAYOUTS TO THE UNIVERSITY'S OPERATING BUDGET AND PRESERVE PURCHASING POWER FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS OF STANFORD FACULTY AND STUDENTS. THE STANFORD MANAGEMENT COMPANY, A DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY, ACTIVELY MANAGES THE ENDOWMENT, ACCESSING MANY OF THE BEST THIRD-PARTY MANAGERS WORLDWIDE TO DEPLOY ITS CAPITAL. THE GEOGRAPHIC ALLOCATION OF THE UNIVERSITY'S INVESTMENTS, AS SHOWN IN SCHEDULE F, IS A RESULT OF THESE FACTORS. THE UNIVERSITY REPORTS IN PART I ITS REGIONAL NET BOOK VALUE OF INVESTMENT AMOUNTS, CONSISTENT WITH THE IRS 2016 INSTRUCTIONS FOR SCHEDULE F. ALSO REPORTED IN PART I ARE DIRECT COMPENSATION TO THIRD-PARTY MANAGERS. 3.GRANTMAKING: STANFORD UNIVERSITY IS NOT A "GRANT MAKER" PER SE IN THAT ITS FUNDAMENTAL MISSION, AND PURPOSE FOR TAX-EXEMPTION, RELATES TO TEACHING, RESEARCH AND PATIENT CARE ACTIVITIES. HOWEVER, IN THE COURSE OF THESE MISSION-BASED ACTIVITIES, THE UNIVERSITY DOES MAKE PAYMENTS THAT MEET THE CRITERIA FOR 'GRANTMAKING' AS DEFINED BY THE INSTRUCTIONS TO IRS 990 SCHEDULE F. ACCORDINGLY, THESE GRANTS ARE REPORTED ON SCHEDULE F, PART I, AND ALSO REPORTED ON PARTS II AND III AS REQUIRED BY THE INSTRUCTIONS. FOR MOST US INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION, PROVISION OF FINANCIAL AID TO STUDENTS IS AN IMPORTANT ACTIVITY ENABLING QUALIFIED STUDENTS TO OBTAIN A COLLEGE EDUCATION AT THE UNDERGRADUATE, GRADUATE OR POSTDOCTORAL LEVEL. STANFORD IS COMMITTED TO A "NEED-BLIND" ADMISSION POLICY FOR US CITIZENS AND PERMANENT RESIDENTS; IT ADMITS QUALIFIED STUDENTS WITHOUT REGARD TO THEIR ABILITY TO PAY, AND PROVIDES A COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL AID PROGRAM FOR ALL ADMITTED STUDENTS WHO HAVE UNIVERSITY-COMPUTED NEED, AND WHO MEET STATED FINANCIAL AID ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS. FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED AUGUST 31, 2016 (FY 2016), 85% OF UNDERGRADUATE AND ABOUT 82% OF GRADUATE STUDENTS RECEIVED SOME FORM OF FINANCIAL AID, WITH A TOTAL OF $413,740,512 OF FINANCIAL AID DISBURSED TO ALL STANFORD STUDENTS. APPROXIMATELY 65% OF THIS AID TOOK THE FORM OF TRANSFERS FROM INTERNAL UNIVERSITY FUNDS TO OFFSET TUITION AND OTHER UNIVERSITY CHARGES THAT WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE BEEN RECEIVED BY THE UNIVERSITY. THE BALANCE OF $144,127,218 REPRESENTS DISBURSEMENTS, PRIMARILY TO GRADUATE STUDENTS, FOR STIPENDS, FELLOWSHIPS AND OTHER STUDENT AID IN SUPPORT OF ACADEMIC EFFORT. GRANTS TO ORGANIZATIONS ARE PRIMARILY IN THE FORM OF RESEARCH SUB-AWARDS. SUB-AWARDS ARE PAYMENTS TO THIRD PARTY RECIPIENTS FOR PERFORMING A PORTION OF A STANFORD RESEARCH PROGRAM, MOST OFTEN A SPONSORED-RESEARCH PROJECT. MANY SUB-AWARDS ARE AGREEMENTS FOR CONTRACTUALLY DEFINED DELIVERABLES, USUALLY REQUIRING HIGHLY SPECIFIC EXPERTISE. AS SUCH THEY COULD BE DESCRIBED AS RESEARCH CONTRACTS. HOWEVER, CERTAIN SUB-AWARDS MIGHT ALSO BE CATEGORIZED AS GRANTS, DEPENDING ON THE NATURE OF THE ORIGINATING PRIME FUNDING SOURCE, SINCE THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE ORIGINATING FUNDING SOURCE GENERALLY FLOW THROUGH TO THE SUB-AWARD. ACCORDINGLY, GRANT-FUNDED SUB-AWARDS ARE REPORTED IN PART II. CONTRACT-FUNDED SUB-AWARDS TO FOREIGN RECIPIENTS ARE REPORTED IN PART I, LINE 3 AS PROGRAM SERVICES - RESEARCH. GRANTS REPORTED ON SCHEDULE F ARE SOURCED FROM THE ACCOUNTING SYSTEM. IT IS CURRENTLY NOT POSSIBLE TO REPORT EXHAUSTIVELY ALL GRANTS TO FOREIGN INDIVIDUALS OR ORGANIZATIONS OR TO DOMESTIC INDIVIDUALS OR ORGANIZATIONS WITH DESIGNTED FOREIGN BENEFICIARIES. SEE BELOW FOR FURTHER EXPLANATION OF THE METHOD USED TO ACCOUNT FOR GRANTS ON PART II AND III. 4.FUNDRAISING: FUNDRAISING INCLUDES EXPENSES DIRECTLY INCURRED IN THE REGION FOR FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES.
PART II: METHOD USED TO ACCOUNT FOR GRANTS TO ORGANIZATIONS SUB-AWARDS ARE SEPARATELY TRACKED IN THE ACCOUNTING SYSTEM WITH THE IDENTIFICATION OF THE FUNDING SOURCE OF THE SUB AWARD (I.E. GRANT VS. CONTRACT) SEPARATELY TRACKED IN THE UNIVERSITY'S SPONSORED RESEARCH SYSTEM. INCLUDED IN PART II ARE DIRECT GRANTS AND OTHER ASSISTANCE TO ORGANIZATIONS OUTSIDE THE US. THE UNIVERSITY DOES NOT TRACK WHETHER GRANTS TO ORGANIZATIONS WITHIN THE US ARE MADE FOR THE PURPOSE OF PROVIDING GRANTS TO FOREIGN ORGANIZATIONS. SUB-AWARDS ARE SUBJECT TO THE MONITORING PROCEDURES DISCUSSED IN PART V WITH RESPECT TO PART I, LINE 2 REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE RECIPIENT WILL FURTHER SUB-AWARD FUNDS IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH THE PURPOSES OF THE AWARD.
PART III: METHOD USED TO ACCOUNT FOR GRANTS TO INDIVIDUALS PAYMENTS TO INDIVIDUALS OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES ARE TRACKED IN THE PAYABLES SUB-LEDGER OF THE ACCOUNTING SYSTEM.

GRANTS AND ASSISTANCE PART I, LINE 2 ONE OF THE UNIVERSITYS HIGHEST PRIORITIES IS TO REMAIN AFFORDABLE AND ACCESSIBLE TO THE MOST TALENTED STUDENTS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR FINANCIAL CIRCUMSTANCES. THE UNIVERSITYS ADMISSION PROCESS FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS FROM THE UNITED STATES IS NEED-BLIND, WHICH MEANS THAT STUDENTS ARE ADMITTED IRRESPECTIVE OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY; THE UNIVERSITY PROVIDES THE FINANCIAL AID NECESSARY TO MAKE STANFORD AFFORDABLE TO EVERY ADMITTED STUDENT. FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS, THE UNIVERSITY IS NEED-AWARE: STANFORD ANALYZES THE NEED FOR AID AND AIMS TO MEET THE DETERMINED NEED. SINCE 2000, THE UNIVERSITY HAS CONTINUED TO ENHANCE ITS FINANCIAL AID PROGRAMS FOR BOTH ITS UNDERGRADUATE AND GRADUATE STUDENTS. CURRENTLY, FAMILIES WITH TYPICAL ASSETS FROM THE U.S. WITH INCOMES BELOW $125,000 PAY NO TUITION, AND THOSE WITH INCOMES BELOW $65,000 PAY NO TUITION, ROOM OR BOARD. IN FY16, APPROXIMATELY HALF OF UNDERGRADUATES WERE AWARDED NEED-BASED FINANCIAL AID FROM STANFORD. GRADUATE STUDENT FINANCIAL AID AND OTHER SUPPORT IS AWARDED BASED ON ACADEMIC MERIT AND THE AVAILABILITY OF AID. IN THE FACE OF DIMINISHING FEDERAL SUPPORT, STANFORD HAS ASSUMED MORE OF THE FINANCIAL WEIGHT OF SUPPORTING ITS GRADUATE STUDENTS. IN FY16, APPROXIMATELY 82% OF GRADUATE STUDENTS RECEIVED FINANCIAL SUPPORT. THE KNIGHT-HENNESSY SCHOLARS PROGRAM WILL BE AN ADDITIONAL SOURCE OF GRADUATE STUDENT SUPPORT WHEN ITS FIRST COHORT BEGINS THEIR STUDIES IN FALL 2018. THE PROGRAM PROVIDES FULL FUNDING FOR THREE YEARS TO ENABLE GRADUATE STUDENTS TO PURSUE ADVANCED DEGREES AND DEVELOP THE CAPACITY TO LEAD AND BRING ABOUT POSITIVE CHANGES IN THE WORLD. THE UNIVERSITY IS ALSO MINDFUL OF STUDENT DEBT, AND IT DOES NOT EXPECT STUDENTS TO BORROW TO MEET THEIR NEED. OVER 75 PERCENT OF STANFORD UNDERGRADUATES GRADUATE WITH NO DEBT.

FIRST CLASS TRAVEL IS AUTHORIZED IN SOME INSTANCES, SUCH AS ON INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS OVER A CERTAIN LENGTH, IF NO BUSINESS CLASS SERVICE IS AVAILABLE ON THE FLIGHT. FIRST CLASS TRAVEL IS ALSO AUTHORIZED IN CASE OF A MEDICAL NEED OR OTHER EXIGENCY APPROVED BY THE PROVOST. IN ADDITION, THE PRESIDENT HAS PERMISSION TO FLY FIRST CLASS ON CERTAIN DOMESTIC FLIGHTS DEPENDING ON LENGTH. OCCASIONALLY, THE UNIVERSITY MAY PURCHASE CHARTERED AIRCRAFT SERVICES WHEN DEEMED APPROPRIATE FOR THE CONDUCT OF UNIVERSITY BUSINESS AND PURSUANT TO UNIVERSITY POLICY RELATED TO CHARTER TRAVEL. IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE UNIVERSITY'S TRAVEL POLICY DESCRIBED ABOVE, EIGHT PERSONS LISTED ON PART VII USED FIRST CLASS TRAVEL SERVICES AND SEVEN PERSONS USED CHARTER TRAVEL DURING CALENDAR YEAR 2015. SUCH TRAVEL WAS FOR BUSINESS PURPOSES AND NOT INCLUDED IN TAXABLE INCOME TO THE INDIVIDUALS. IN GENERAL, COMPANION TRAVEL IS REIMBURSABLE ONLY IF THE ACCOMPANYING PERSON HAS A POSITION WITH THE UNIVERSITY AND IS TRAVELING TO MAKE A SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTION IN FURTHERANCE OF UNIVERSITY BUSINESS. EXCEPTIONS TO THIS POLICY ARE RARE AND MUST BE APPROVED IN ADVANCE OF TRAVEL BY THE PROVOST. TWO PERSONS LISTED ON PART VII RECEIVED COMPANION TRAVEL THAT WAS IN FURTHERANCE OF UNIVERSITYS BUSINESS AND CONSIDERED NON-TAXABLE. ONE PERSON RECEIVED COMPANION TRAVEL AS PART OF THEIR RELOCATION PACKAGE AND WAS INCLUDED IN TAXABLE INCOME TO THE INDIVIDUAL. PRESIDENT AND PROVOST HOUSING/PERSONAL SERVICES AS A CONDITION OF HIS EMPLOYMENT AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY AND FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF THE UNIVERSITY, PRESIDENT HENNESSY IS REQUIRED TO LIVE IN THE PRESIDENT'S HOME ON THE CAMPUS OF THE UNIVERSITY. THE RESIDENCE IS USED FREQUENTLY FOR UNIVERSITY BUSINESS INCLUDING OFFICIAL GATHERINGS OF FACULTY, STAFF, STUDENTS, ALUMNI, DONORS AND THEIR FAMILIES. AS PART OF A PROGRAM OF APPROPRIATE AND REGULAR MAINTENANCE OF THIS HOUSE, THE UNIVERSITY PROVIDED CLEANING SERVICE FOR THE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE AREAS. THE UNIVERSITY HAS INCLUDED AS NONTAXABLE COMPENSATION IN COLUMN D THE ESTIMATED RENTAL VALUE OF THE AREAS OF THIS RESIDENCE RESERVED FOR THE PERSONAL USE OF THE PRESIDENT, BASED UPON THE PREVAILING RENTAL RATES IN PALO ALTO AND ACTUAL COSTS OF RELATED SERVICES, INCLUDING MAINTENANCE, CLEANING AND UTILITIES. AS A CONDITION OF HIS EMPLOYMENT AS PROVOST OF THE UNIVERSITY AND FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF THE UNIVERSITY, PROVOST ETCHEMENDY IS REQUIRED TO LIVE ON THE CAMPUS OF THE UNIVERSITY. THE RESIDENCE IS USED FREQUENTLY FOR UNIVERSITY BUSINESS INCLUDING OFFICIAL GATHERINGS OF FACULTY, STAFF, STUDENTS, ALUMNI, DONORS AND THEIR FAMILIES. AS PART OF A PROGRAM OF APPROPRIATE AND REGULAR MAINTENANCE OF THIS HOUSE, THE UNIVERSITY PROVIDED CLEANING SERVICE FOR THE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE AREAS. THE UNIVERSITY HAS INCLUDED AS NONTAXABLE COMPENSATION IN COLUMN D THE ESTIMATED RENTAL VALUE OF THE AREAS OF THIS RESIDENCE RESERVED FOR THE PERSONAL USE OF THE PROVOST, BASED UPON THE PREVAILING RENTAL RATES IN PALO ALTO AND ACTUAL COSTS OF RELATED SERVICES, INCLUDING MAINTENANCE, CLEANING AND UTILITIES. THE FOLLOWING INDIVIDUALS RECEIVED TAXABLE HOUSING BENEFITS DURING CALENDAR YEAR 2015: JOHN ETCHEMENDY, LLOYD B. MINOR, WILLIAM MADIA, RICHARD SALLER, DAVID SHAW, MARTIN SHELL, ROBERT F. WALLACE, TARA VANDERVEER, AND YIPING WOO. THESE AMOUNTS ARE INCLUDED IN SCHEDULE J, PART II, COLUMN (B)(III). PART I, LINE 4A SEVERANCE PLAN DURING CALENDAR YEAR 2015, JOHN POWERS, A KEY EMPLOYEE, ENTERED INTO A SEPARATION AGREEMENT WITH THE UNIVERSITY AND WAS PAID $1,362,450. THIS AMOUNT IS INCLUDED ON SCHEDULE J COLUMN B(III) AS OTHER REPORTABLE COMPENSATION. NO OTHER SEVERANCE PAYMENT WAS MADE DURING CALENDAR YEAR 2015 TO AN INDIVIDUAL LISTED ON PART VII SECTION A LINE 1A, ALTHOUGH CERTAIN LISTED INDIVIDUALS ARE ELIGIBLE FOR THE UNIVERSITY-APPROVED SEVERANCE PLAN THAT PROVIDES FOR PAYMENT BASED ON THE INDIVIDUAL'S YEARS OF SERVICE.

AMOUNTS ARE CREDITED TO THE PLAN BASED ON PERFORMANCE AND CERTAIN OTHER FACTORS. PLAN BALANCES ARE SUBJECT TO FORFEITURE AND/OR PAYMENT ONLY IF CERTAIN CONDITIONS ARE MET. CERTAIN BONUS AMOUNTS MAY BE DEFERRED AND PAID IN A LATER YEAR SUBJECT TO IRC SECTION 457(F). IN GENERAL, PER THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR SCHEDULE J, PART II, COLUMN (C), DEFERRED COMPENSATION IS TREATED AS EARNED RATABLY OVER THE PERIOD OF SERVICE REQUIRED FOR VESTING. A MONTHLY CONVENTION HAS BEEN USED TO PRORATE AMOUNTS OVER THE APPLICABLE VESTING PERIOD. COLUMN (C) DOES NOT INCLUDE AMOUNTS DEFERRED IN A CALENDAR YEAR TO A DATE ON OR BEFORE MARCH 15TH OF THE FOLLOWING CALENDAR YEAR. THE NET EFFECT OF APPLYING THE FOREGOING RULES AND CONVENTIONS, AND DIFFERING VESTING SCHEDULES, IS THAT DEFERRED COMPENSATION REPORTED IN COLUMN (C) FOR AN INDIVIDUAL MAY VARY OVER TIME. IN CERTAIN INSTANCES INVOLVING OLDER DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS, IF AN INDIVIDUAL'S DEFERRED COMPENSATION HAS IN THE PAST BEEN REPORTED WHEN CREDITED TO A DEFERRED COMPENSATION ACCOUNT, RATHER THAN AS EARNED RATABLY OVER THE RELATED VESTING PERIOD, THE INDIVIDUAL'S DEFERRED COMPENSATION CONTINUES TO BE REPORTED WHEN CREDITED, IN THE INTERESTS OF ACCURACY AND CONSISTENCY. DEFERRED COMPENSATION IS REPORTED IN SCHEDULE J, PART II, COLUMN (C) IN THE YEAR OF DEFERRAL, AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, AND IS REPORTED IN SCHEDULE J, PART II, COLUMN (B)(III) AND COLUMN (F) IN THE YEAR OF PAYMENT, IF APPLICABLE. THE FOLLOWING INDIVIDUALS RECEIVED PAYMENT FROM THEIR DEFERRED COMPENSATION ACCOUNT DURING CALENDAR YEAR 2015: JOHN POWERS - $1,824,765; MARTIN SHELL - $477,009; DAVID SHAW - $1,691,529, AND TARA VANDERVEER - $1,301,128.

BOTH SERPS WERE EARNED GRADUALLY OVER SPECIFIED PERIODS DURING HIS TERM OF SERVICE AS AN OFFICER. THE FIRST SERP WAS EARNED OVER THE 12 YEARS ENDING AUGUST 31, 2012. HAVING SERVED IN HIS POSITION THROUGH AUGUST 31, 2012, THE PRESIDENT BECAME ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A BENEFIT APPROXIMATELY EQUAL TO AN ANNUAL PAYMENT FOR LIFE OF 35.5% OF HIS HIGHEST THREE YEAR AVERAGE BASE PAY DURING THE 12 YEAR PERIOD, OFFSET BY THE ANNUITY EQUIVALENT OF HIS ANTICIPATED SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFIT AND AMOUNTS CONTRIBUTED BY THE UNIVERSITY DIRECTLY TO HIS 403(B) DEFINED CONTRIBUTION RETIREMENT PLAN WHILE HE WAS AN OFFICER. THERE WERE NO SUBSEQUENT ACCRUALS TO THIS SERP THROUGH THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015. THIS SERP BENEFIT REMAINS SUBJECT TO FORFEITURE IF CERTAIN CONDITIONS ARE NOT MET. THE SECOND SERP PROVIDED THAT THE PRESIDENT WAS ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A BENEFIT APPROXIMATELY EQUAL TO AN ANNUAL PAYMENT FOR LIFE OF 2% OF HIS HIGHEST THREE YEAR AVERAGE BASE PAY FOR EACH FISCAL YEAR FROM FY 2013 THROUGH FY 2018 DURING WHICH HE SERVED AS PRESIDENT. BY REMAINING IN HIS POSITION THROUGH AUGUST 31, 2016, THE PRESIDENT BECAME ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A BENEFIT APPROXIMATELY EQUAL TO AN ANNUAL PAYMENT FOR LIFE OF 8% OF HIS HIGHEST THREE YEAR AVERAGE BASE PAY (2.0 PERCENTAGE POINTS OF WHICH WAS EARNED IN FY 2016). THIS SERP BENEFIT REMAINS SUBJECT TO FORFEITURE IF CERTAIN CONDITIONS ARE NOT MET.

THE UNIVERSITY ALSO PROVIDED PROVOST JOHN ETCHEMENDY WITH A SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN (SERP) TO SUPPLEMENT HIS SOCIAL SECURITY AND 403(B) RETIREMENT BENEFITS.

THIS SERP BENEFIT REMAINS SUBJECT TO FORFEITURE IF CERTAIN CONDITIONS ARE NOT MET. FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015, THE VALUE OF THE SERP INCREASED BY $86,986 AS A RESULT OF THE PROVOST RECEIVING AN INCREASE IN BASE PAY, AND THIS AMOUNT IS INCLUDED ON SCHEDULE J COLUMN (C) AS DEFERRED COMPENSATION.
PART I, LINE 7 AND PART II, COLUMN (B) (II) VARIABLE COMPENSATION OF SCHOOL OF MEDICINE FACULTY TOTAL COMPENSATION FOR FACULTY IN THE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE IS MADE UP OF THE FOLLOWING INTEGRAL COMPONENTS: SALARY AND BENEFITS, ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPLEMENTS, AND BONUSES AWARDED UNDER DEPARTMENTAL PLANS. BASE SALARY IS BASED ON ACADEMIC RANK (E.G., PROFESSOR, ASSISTANT PROFESSOR). A VARIABLE COMPONENT OF SALARY IS DETERMINED BY THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE INDIVIDUAL TO THE DEPARTMENT/DIVISION AND THE CLINICAL SPECIALTY OF THE FACULTY MEMBER. OTHER SALARY SUPPLEMENTS ARE OCCASIONALLY USED TO PROVIDE FOR COMPENSATION GIVEN UP BY A FACULTY MEMBER WHEN ASSUMING A POSITION AT STANFORD. ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPLEMENTS ARE PAID TO FACULTY WHO TAKE ON DUTIES WHICH ARE OUTSIDE THEIR USUAL FACULTY RESPONSIBILITIES AND OUTSIDE NORMAL COMMITTEE WORK. INCENTIVE BONUSES ARE CONSIDERED A FUNDAMENTAL COMPONENT OF TOTAL COMPENSATION. THEY ARE PAID OUT BY THE DEPARTMENTS BASED ON THE DEPARTMENTS' INCENTIVE BONUS PLAN MEASURING THE FACULTY'S EFFORTS IN ADMINISTRATIVE LEADERSHIP, CLINICAL, RESEARCH, AND/OR TEACHING AREAS AS DEFINED BY THE PLAN. IN ADDITION, THE DEAN HAS A BONUS PLAN FOR CLINICAL CHAIRS BASED ON ACHIEVEMENT OF LEADERSHIP GOALS. SOME DEPARTMENTS HAVE "ON-CALL"COVERAGE" BONUSES TO PROVIDE COMPENSATION FOR A FACULTY MEMBER'S PROVIDING OFF-HOURS COVERAGE. VARIABLE COMPENSATION OF INVESTMENT PROFESSIONALS A PORTION OF THE COMPENSATION PAID TO EACH LISTED INVESTMENT PROFESSIONAL IS BASED ON A COMBINATION OF THREE FACTORS: THREE YEAR ANNUALIZED PERFORMANCE VERSUS THE RELEVANT POLICY PORTFOLIO BENCHMARK RETURN FOR THAT PERIOD, THREE YEAR MERGED POOL ANNUALIZED PERFORMANCE VERSUS THE PERFORMANCE OF CERTAIN OTHER COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY ENDOWMENT INVESTMENT POOLS IN THE UNITED STATES, AND INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE. VARIABLE COMPENSATION OF ATHLETICS PROFESSIONALS LISTED ATHLETICS PROFESSIONALS ARE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE BONUSES AND INCENTIVE COMPENSATION BASED ON THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF THE STUDENT-ATHLETES, ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE, ATTENDANCE AT ATHLETIC EVENTS, AND/OR LEADERSHIP, AS PROVIDED IN THE PROFESSIONALS' COMPENSATION AGREEMENTS.

THESE BENEFITS ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS SUCH AS AGE, YEARS OF SERVICE, AND EMPLOYEE CLASSIFICATION. FOR SOME BENEFIT PLANS, THE UNIVERSITY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO CHANGE ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS AND/OR THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF THE BENEFIT BEING PROMISED. THE VALUE OF THESE BENEFITS IS REPORTED FOR EACH LISTED PERSON IN THE YEAR, IF ANY, SUCH BENEFITS ARE RECEIVED.

Return Reference Explanation
SCHEDULE K TAX-EXEMPT BONDS FOR MORE THAN 30 YEARS, STANFORD AND THE MANY COMMUNITIES AND CONSTITUENCIES IT SERVES HAVE BENEFITED FROM TAX-EXEMPT BORROWING THROUGH THE CALIFORNIA EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES AUTHORITY. THE UNIVERSITY USES GENEROUS DONOR GIFTS, UNIVERSITY RESERVES AND TAXABLE DEBT, IN ADDITION TO PROCEEDS FROM TAX EXEMPT BORROWING, TO FUND THE CONSTRUCTION OF ACADEMIC BUILDINGS, RESEARCH SUPPORT FACILITIES, RESIDENCES AND OTHER CAMPUS HOUSING, ROADS AND INFRASTRUCTURE. THESE FACILITIES HAVE, IN TURN, ENABLED THE UNIVERSITY TO ATTRACT OUTSTANDING FACULTY AND STUDENTS AND TO MORE EFFECTIVELY PERFORM INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH DESIGNED TO ADDRESS FUNDAMENTAL WORLD PROBLEMS. THE NEW FACILITIES PROVIDE THE STANFORD COMMUNITY WITH THE MOST ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENT FOR TEACHING, LEARNING AND RESEARCH. THE FUNDING ALSO HAS PLAYED A KEY ROLE IN ENABLING STANFORD TO MEET SEISMIC AND OTHER FEDERAL AND STATE BUILDING REQUIREMENTS. THE FOLLOWING ARE EXAMPLES OF BUILDINGS FUNDED IN PART THROUGH TAX-EXEMPT DEBT: I. THE YANG YAMAZAKI ENVIRONMENTAL AND ENERGY BUILDING (Y2E2) IS THE HUB OF STANFORD'S ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY TEACHING AND RESEARCH. IT IS A MODEL FOR SUSTAINABILITY BUILDING STANDARDS, USING 37 PERCENT LESS ENERGY AND 90 PERCENT LESS POTABLE WATER THAN A TRADITIONALLY CONSTRUCTED BUILDING OF ITS SIZE. Y2E2 WAS THE FIRST CAMPUS BUILDING TO ACHIEVE LEED-EBOM (EXISTING BUILDING: OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE) PLATINUM CERTIFICATION. II. THE LI KA SHING CENTER FOR LEARNING AND KNOWLEDGE BRINGS TOGETHER CUTTING-EDGE MEDICINE, MODERN EDUCATION AND ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY TO TRAIN THE PHYSICIANS OF TOMORROW. MEDICAL STUDENTS PRACTICE LIFE-SAVING SKILLS IN REALISTIC SIMULATIONS AND LEARN TO APPLY RESEARCH TO BEDSIDE TREATMENTS. THE CENTER IS A GATHERING PLACE FOR MEDICAL EXPERTS TO SHARE RESEARCH AND HEALTH CARE INSIGHTS AND TO BRING THEIR COMBINED EXPERTISE TO BEAR ON THE WORLD'S GREATEST HEALTH CHALLENGES. III. THE JAMES AND ANNA MARIE SPILKER ENGINEERING AND APPLIED SCIENCES BUILDING FOSTERS COLLABORATIVE DEVELOPMENT IN THE BURGEONING FIELD OF NANOTECHNOLOGY. RESEARCH ACTIVITIES SPAN A BROAD RANGE OF AREAS FROM PHOTONICS AND QUANTUM ENGINEERING TO SINGLE-MOLECULE BIOPHYSICS AND EXPLORATION OF NANOSCALE PROPERTIES AND DEVICES WITH POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS AS DIVERSE AS WATER PURIFICATION, ENERGY CONSERVATION, DRUG DELIVERY AND NATIONAL SECURITY. IV. THE HUANG ENGINEERING CENTER HOUSES THE SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING, WHOSE TIES TO THE HIGH-TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY CONTINUE TO FUEL THE GROWTH AND ECONOMY OF SILICON VALLEY AND NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. THE SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING IS WORLD RENOWNED FOR PUSHING THE FRONTIERS OF MODERN SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING, ESPECIALLY IN THE FIELDS OF COMPUTER SCIENCE, BIOENGINEERING AND ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY. V. THE LORRY I. LOKEY STEM CELL RESEARCH BUILDING IS THE LARGEST DEDICATED STEM CELL RESEARCH BUILDING IN THE COUNTRY. THE BUILDING HOUSES THE STANFORD STEM CELL BIOLOGY AND REGENERATIVE MEDICINE INSTITUTE, WHICH INTEGRATES RESEARCHERS FROM CANCER, NEUROSCIENCE, CARDIOVASCULAR MEDICINE, TRANSPLANTATION, IMMUNOLOGY, BIOENGINEERING AND DEVELOPMENTAL BIOLOGY. ALL ARE FOCUSED ON MAKING DISCOVERIES IN STEM CELL RESEARCH AND QUICKLY TRANSLATING THEM INTO PRECLINICAL APPLICATIONS, INNOVATIVE THERAPIES AND TREATMENTS. VI. THE MUNGER GRADUATE RESIDENCE IS A FIVE-BUILDING, 358 UNIT RESIDENTIAL COMPLEX FOR APPROXIMATELY 600 STANFORD LAW AND OTHER GRADUATE STUDENTS. IT IS A SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT BY STANFORD IN MITIGATING TRAFFIC AND OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS AS IT GREATLY REDUCES THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE DRIVING TO CAMPUS DAILY. VII. THE WILLIAM H. NEUKOM BUILDING, WHICH HOUSES THE CLINICS OF THE STANFORD LAW SCHOOL, OPENED IN 2011 AND WAS BUILT TO SATISFY THE EQUIVALENT OF A LEED GOLD CERTIFICATION FOR SUSTAINABILITY. THE BUILDING USES 30 PERCENT LESS ENERGY THAN REQUIRED BY CODE. THE BUILDING HOUSES THE MILLS LEGAL CLINIC, WHICH INCLUDES 11 CLINICS THAT TEACH THROUGH EXPERIENTIAL EDUCATION. LAW STUDENTS LEARN THE PRACTICE OF LAW BY REPRESENTING, FOR INSTANCE, LOW-INCOME OR INDIGENT PEOPLE IN CIVIL AND CRIMINAL LITIGATIONS, AND BY PROVIDING LEGAL COUNSEL ON ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES, INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, HUMAN RIGHTS, IMMIGRATION, NONPROFIT CORPORATE GOVERNANCE, EDUCATION, AND RELIGIOUS FREEDOM. VIII. STANFORD ENERGY SYSTEM INNOVATIONS (SESI) IS A STATE-OF-THE-ART ENERGY SYSTEM EMPLOYING HEAT RECOVERY, RENEWABLE ELECTRICITY, AND ADVANCED CONTROLS TO SERVE THE POWER, HEATING AND COOLING NEEDS OF THE UNIVERSITY. IT INCLUDES A CENTRAL ENERGY FACILITY AND ELECTRICAL SUBSTATION, ENERGY DISTRIBUTION INFRASTRUCTURE AND MARKET-BASED ENERGY PROCUREMENT PROGRAM. SESI REDUCES STANFORDS GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS BY 68% AND WATER USE BY 15%. SESI HAS RECEIVED THE HIGHEST HONORS AT THE REGIONAL, STATE AND NATIONAL LEVELS FOR ENERGY ECONOMICS, EFFICIENCY AND SUSTAINABILITY, INCLUDING THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA GOVERNORS ENVIRONMENT AND ECONOMIC LEADERSHIP AWARD AND THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY GLOBAL FORUM, ALLIANCE TO SAVE ENERGY: ENERGY EFFICIENCY VISIONARY AWARD, AMONG OTHERS.

ACCORDINGLY, PART III IS NOT COMPLETED FOR THESE ISSUES.
FORM 990, SCHEDULE K, PART III, LINES 4-5 PRIVATE BUSINESS USE STANFORD UNIVERSITY FINANCES ITS FACILITIES WITH A COMBINATION OF TAX-EXEMPT DEBT, TAXABLE DEBT, GIFTS AND OTHER UNIVERSITY FUNDS. OCCASIONALLY, SOME OF THESE FACILITIES WILL HOUSE ACTIVITIES THAT MAY CONSTITUTE "PRIVATE BUSINESS USE", AS DEFINED IN IRC SECTION 141. FOR INSTANCE, STANFORD MAY RENT A SMALL PORTION OF A FACILITY TO A FOR-PROFIT OPERATOR OF CAFETERIAS (PRIMARILY FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF FACULTY, STAFF, STUDENTS AND THEIR GUESTS). IN OTHER SITUATIONS, STANFORD MAY RECEIVE A GENEROUS CORPORATE GIFT TO FUND A PORTION OF A BUILDING AND MAY CHOOSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE SUCH GENEROSITY BY NAMING A CLASSROOM, LIBRARY OR AUDITORIUM IN HONOR OF THE CORPORATE DONOR. IN SUCH CASES, STANFORD ELECTS THE "UNDIVIDED PORTION ALLOCATION METHOD" DESCRIBED IN PROPOSED TREASURY REGULATION SECTION 1.141-D(6), AND THUS ALLOCATES SUCH "PRIVATE BUSINESS USE" FIRST TO THAT PORTION OF THE FACILITY FUNDED BY TAXABLE DEBT, GIFTS OR OTHER UNIVERSITY FUNDS. ACCORDINGLY, STANFORD REPORTS 0% AS THE PERCENTAGE OF FINANCED PROPERTY USED IN PRIVATE BUSINESS USE (PART III, QUESTION 4). IN ADDITION TO THE CONSTRUCTION COST OF BUILDINGS, TAX-EXEMPT DEBT ALSO FUNDED A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE UNIVERSITY'S INFRASTRUCTURE, INCLUDING ROADS AND UNDERGROUND UTILITIES. THE PORTION OF THE FUNDING OF THESE IMPROVEMENTS BY SOURCES OTHER THAN TAX-EXEMPT DEBT AS A PERCENTAGE OF TOTAL FUNDING WAS WELL IN EXCESS OF THE MEASURED AMOUNT OF PRIVATE BUSINESS USE TO TOTAL USE. ACCORDINGLY, THE AMOUNTS REPORTED ON PART III, LINES 4 AND 5, FOR THE PERCENTAGE OF FINANCED PROPERTY USED IN PRIVATE BUSINESS USE BY OTHER ENTITIES AND AS A RESULT OF AN UNRELATED TRADE OR BUSINESS ACTIVITY, RESPECTIVELY, ARE ZERO.

SCHEDULE K TAX-EXEMPT BONDS FOR MORE THAN 30 YEARS, STANFORD AND THE MANY COMMUNITIES AND CONSTITUENCIES IT SERVES HAVE BENEFITED FROM TAX-EXEMPT BORROWING THROUGH THE CALIFORNIA EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES AUTHORITY. THE UNIVERSITY USES GENEROUS DONOR GIFTS, UNIVERSITY RESERVES AND TAXABLE DEBT, IN ADDITION TO PROCEEDS FROM TAX EXEMPT BORROWING, TO FUND THE CONSTRUCTION OF ACADEMIC BUILDINGS, RESEARCH SUPPORT FACILITIES, RESIDENCES AND OTHER CAMPUS HOUSING, ROADS AND INFRASTRUCTURE. THESE FACILITIES HAVE, IN TURN, ENABLED THE UNIVERSITY TO ATTRACT OUTSTANDING FACULTY AND STUDENTS AND TO MORE EFFECTIVELY PERFORM INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH DESIGNED TO ADDRESS FUNDAMENTAL WORLD PROBLEMS. THE NEW FACILITIES PROVIDE THE STANFORD COMMUNITY WITH THE MOST ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENT FOR TEACHING, LEARNING AND RESEARCH. THE FUNDING ALSO HAS PLAYED A KEY ROLE IN ENABLING STANFORD TO MEET SEISMIC AND OTHER FEDERAL AND STATE BUILDING REQUIREMENTS. THE FOLLOWING ARE EXAMPLES OF BUILDINGS FUNDED IN PART THROUGH TAX-EXEMPT DEBT: I. THE YANG YAMAZAKI ENVIRONMENTAL AND ENERGY BUILDING (Y2E2) IS THE HUB OF STANFORD'S ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY TEACHING AND RESEARCH. IT IS A MODEL FOR SUSTAINABILITY BUILDING STANDARDS, USING 37 PERCENT LESS ENERGY AND 90 PERCENT LESS POTABLE WATER THAN A TRADITIONALLY CONSTRUCTED BUILDING OF ITS SIZE. Y2E2 WAS THE FIRST CAMPUS BUILDING TO ACHIEVE LEED-EBOM (EXISTING BUILDING: OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE) PLATINUM CERTIFICATION. II. THE LI KA SHING CENTER FOR LEARNING AND KNOWLEDGE BRINGS TOGETHER CUTTING-EDGE MEDICINE, MODERN EDUCATION AND ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY TO TRAIN THE PHYSICIANS OF TOMORROW. MEDICAL STUDENTS PRACTICE LIFE-SAVING SKILLS IN REALISTIC SIMULATIONS AND LEARN TO APPLY RESEARCH TO BEDSIDE TREATMENTS. THE CENTER IS A GATHERING PLACE FOR MEDICAL EXPERTS TO SHARE RESEARCH AND HEALTH CARE INSIGHTS AND TO BRING THEIR COMBINED EXPERTISE TO BEAR ON THE WORLD'S GREATEST HEALTH CHALLENGES. III. THE JAMES AND ANNA MARIE SPILKER ENGINEERING AND APPLIED SCIENCES BUILDING FOSTERS COLLABORATIVE DEVELOPMENT IN THE BURGEONING FIELD OF NANOTECHNOLOGY. RESEARCH ACTIVITIES SPAN A BROAD RANGE OF AREAS FROM PHOTONICS AND QUANTUM ENGINEERING TO SINGLE-MOLECULE BIOPHYSICS AND EXPLORATION OF NANOSCALE PROPERTIES AND DEVICES WITH POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS AS DIVERSE AS WATER PURIFICATION, ENERGY CONSERVATION, DRUG DELIVERY AND NATIONAL SECURITY. IV. THE HUANG ENGINEERING CENTER HOUSES THE SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING, WHOSE TIES TO THE HIGH-TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY CONTINUE TO FUEL THE GROWTH AND ECONOMY OF SILICON VALLEY AND NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. THE SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING IS WORLD RENOWNED FOR PUSHING THE FRONTIERS OF MODERN SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING, ESPECIALLY IN THE FIELDS OF COMPUTER SCIENCE, BIOENGINEERING AND ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY. V. THE LORRY I. LOKEY STEM CELL RESEARCH BUILDING IS THE LARGEST DEDICATED STEM CELL RESEARCH BUILDING IN THE COUNTRY. THE BUILDING HOUSES THE STANFORD STEM CELL BIOLOGY AND REGENERATIVE MEDICINE INSTITUTE, WHICH INTEGRATES RESEARCHERS FROM CANCER, NEUROSCIENCE, CARDIOVASCULAR MEDICINE, TRANSPLANTATION, IMMUNOLOGY, BIOENGINEERING AND DEVELOPMENTAL BIOLOGY. ALL ARE FOCUSED ON MAKING DISCOVERIES IN STEM CELL RESEARCH AND QUICKLY TRANSLATING THEM INTO PRECLINICAL APPLICATIONS, INNOVATIVE THERAPIES AND TREATMENTS. VI. THE MUNGER GRADUATE RESIDENCE IS A FIVE-BUILDING, 358 UNIT RESIDENTIAL COMPLEX FOR APPROXIMATELY 600 STANFORD LAW AND OTHER GRADUATE STUDENTS. IT IS A SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT BY STANFORD IN MITIGATING TRAFFIC AND OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS AS IT GREATLY REDUCES THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE DRIVING TO CAMPUS DAILY. VII. THE WILLIAM H. NEUKOM BUILDING, WHICH HOUSES THE CLINICS OF THE STANFORD LAW SCHOOL, OPENED IN 2011 AND WAS BUILT TO SATISFY THE EQUIVALENT OF A LEED GOLD CERTIFICATION FOR SUSTAINABILITY. THE BUILDING USES 30 PERCENT LESS ENERGY THAN REQUIRED BY CODE. THE BUILDING HOUSES THE MILLS LEGAL CLINIC, WHICH INCLUDES 11 CLINICS THAT TEACH THROUGH EXPERIENTIAL EDUCATION. LAW STUDENTS LEARN THE PRACTICE OF LAW BY REPRESENTING, FOR INSTANCE, LOW-INCOME OR INDIGENT PEOPLE IN CIVIL AND CRIMINAL LITIGATIONS, AND BY PROVIDING LEGAL COUNSEL ON ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES, INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, HUMAN RIGHTS, IMMIGRATION, NONPROFIT CORPORATE GOVERNANCE, EDUCATION, AND RELIGIOUS FREEDOM. VIII. STANFORD ENERGY SYSTEM INNOVATIONS (SESI) IS A STATE-OF-THE-ART ENERGY SYSTEM EMPLOYING HEAT RECOVERY, RENEWABLE ELECTRICITY, AND ADVANCED CONTROLS TO SERVE THE POWER, HEATING AND COOLING NEEDS OF THE UNIVERSITY. IT INCLUDES A CENTRAL ENERGY FACILITY AND ELECTRICAL SUBSTATION, ENERGY DISTRIBUTION INFRASTRUCTURE AND MARKET-BASED ENERGY PROCUREMENT PROGRAM. SESI REDUCES STANFORDS GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS BY 68% AND WATER USE BY 15%. SESI HAS RECEIVED THE HIGHEST HONORS AT THE REGIONAL, STATE AND NATIONAL LEVELS FOR ENERGY ECONOMICS, EFFICIENCY AND SUSTAINABILITY, INCLUDING THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA GOVERNORS ENVIRONMENT AND ECONOMIC LEADERSHIP AWARD AND THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY GLOBAL FORUM, ALLIANCE TO SAVE ENERGY: ENERGY EFFICIENCY VISIONARY AWARD, AMONG OTHERS.

FORM 990, SCHEDULE K, PART III, LINES 4-5 PRIVATE BUSINESS USE STANFORD UNIVERSITY FINANCES ITS FACILITIES WITH A COMBINATION OF TAX-EXEMPT DEBT, TAXABLE DEBT, GIFTS AND OTHER UNIVERSITY FUNDS. OCCASIONALLY, SOME OF THESE FACILITIES WILL HOUSE ACTIVITIES THAT MAY CONSTITUTE "PRIVATE BUSINESS USE", AS DEFINED IN IRC SECTION 141. FOR INSTANCE, STANFORD MAY RENT A SMALL PORTION OF A FACILITY TO A FOR-PROFIT OPERATOR OF CAFETERIAS (PRIMARILY FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF FACULTY, STAFF, STUDENTS AND THEIR GUESTS). IN OTHER SITUATIONS, STANFORD MAY RECEIVE A GENEROUS CORPORATE GIFT TO FUND A PORTION OF A BUILDING AND MAY CHOOSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE SUCH GENEROSITY BY NAMING A CLASSROOM, LIBRARY OR AUDITORIUM IN HONOR OF THE CORPORATE DONOR. IN SUCH CASES, STANFORD ELECTS THE "UNDIVIDED PORTION ALLOCATION METHOD" DESCRIBED IN PROPOSED TREASURY REGULATION SECTION 1.141-D(6), AND THUS ALLOCATES SUCH "PRIVATE BUSINESS USE" FIRST TO THAT PORTION OF THE FACILITY FUNDED BY TAXABLE DEBT, GIFTS OR OTHER UNIVERSITY FUNDS. ACCORDINGLY, STANFORD REPORTS 0% AS THE PERCENTAGE OF FINANCED PROPERTY USED IN PRIVATE BUSINESS USE (PART III, QUESTION 4). IN ADDITION TO THE CONSTRUCTION COST OF BUILDINGS, TAX-EXEMPT DEBT ALSO FUNDED A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE UNIVERSITY'S INFRASTRUCTURE, INCLUDING ROADS AND UNDERGROUND UTILITIES. THE PORTION OF THE FUNDING OF THESE IMPROVEMENTS BY SOURCES OTHER THAN TAX-EXEMPT DEBT AS A PERCENTAGE OF TOTAL FUNDING WAS WELL IN EXCESS OF THE MEASURED AMOUNT OF PRIVATE BUSINESS USE TO TOTAL USE. ACCORDINGLY, THE AMOUNTS REPORTED ON PART III, LINES 4 AND 5, FOR THE PERCENTAGE OF FINANCED PROPERTY USED IN PRIVATE BUSINESS USE BY OTHER ENTITIES AND AS A RESULT OF AN UNRELATED TRADE OR BUSINESS ACTIVITY, RESPECTIVELY, ARE ZERO.

IN OTHER SITUATIONS, STANFORD MAY RECEIVE A GENEROUS CORPORATE GIFT TO FUND A PORTION OF A BUILDING AND MAY CHOOSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE SUCH GENEROSITY BY NAMING A CLASSROOM, LIBRARY OR AUDITORIUM IN HONOR OF THE CORPORATE DONOR. IN SUCH CASES, STANFORD ELECTS THE "UNDIVIDED PORTION ALLOCATION METHOD" DESCRIBED IN PROPOSED TREASURY REGULATION SECTION 1.141-D(6), AND THUS ALLOCATES SUCH "PRIVATE BUSINESS USE" FIRST TO THAT PORTION OF THE FACILITY FUNDED BY TAXABLE DEBT, GIFTS OR OTHER UNIVERSITY FUNDS. ACCORDINGLY, STANFORD REPORTS 0% AS THE PERCENTAGE OF FINANCED PROPERTY USED IN PRIVATE BUSINESS USE (PART III, QUESTION 4). IN ADDITION TO THE CONSTRUCTION COST OF BUILDINGS, TAX-EXEMPT DEBT ALSO FUNDED A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE UNIVERSITY'S INFRASTRUCTURE, INCLUDING ROADS AND UNDERGROUND UTILITIES. THE PORTION OF THE FUNDING OF THESE IMPROVEMENTS BY SOURCES OTHER THAN TAX-EXEMPT DEBT AS A PERCENTAGE OF TOTAL FUNDING WAS WELL IN EXCESS OF THE MEASURED AMOUNT OF PRIVATE BUSINESS USE TO TOTAL USE. ACCORDINGLY, THE AMOUNTS REPORTED ON PART III, LINES 4 AND 5, FOR THE PERCENTAGE OF FINANCED PROPERTY USED IN PRIVATE BUSINESS USE BY OTHER ENTITIES AND AS A RESULT OF AN UNRELATED TRADE OR BUSINESS ACTIVITY, RESPECTIVELY, ARE ZERO.

ALL PERSONAL FINANCIAL INTERESTS RELATED TO STANFORD ACTIVITIES MUST BE REPORTED, REGARDLESS OF DOLLAR AMOUNT. FOR TRUSTEES, THE UNIVERSITY HAS A WRITTEN CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY THAT REQUIRES, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THAT NO MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES IS PERMITTED TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY DECISION RELATING TO AN ENTITY IN WHICH HE OR SHE (OR AN IMMEDIATE FAMILY MEMBER) HAS A MATERIAL FINANCIAL INTEREST. THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY ALSO PRECLUDES THE UNIVERSITY FROM ENTERING INTO CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS WITH AN ENTITY IN WHICH A TRUSTEE HAS A MATERIAL FINANCIAL INTEREST UNLESS MEASURES ARE TAKEN TO MITIGATE ANY ACTUAL OR PERCEIVED CONFLICT.
