| Schedule E, Part I, Line 3 | A racially discriminatory policy would be illegal within the UK so it would be unusual for the University to make such a statement. However, the University's undergraduate and postgraduate admissions websites and prospectuses make it clear that admissions decisions are taken within the framework of the University's Equality Policy and the Equality Act 2010, and specifically that "Decisions on the admission of students will be based solely on the individual merits of each candidate". |
| Schedule E, Part I, Line 6 | Oxford University receives various forms of grants and aid from U.K government agencies including via the Higher Education Council for England (HEFCE).

| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 4 | During the financial year 1 August 2017 to 31 July 2018, the University made the following changes to its statutes: Statute X: Degrees, Diplomas, and Certificates - to establish the new degree of Master of Biology Statute XVI: Property, Contracts, and Trusts - to clarify the University's IP policy in respect of intellectual property generated by university students. All changes to statutes require the approval of Congregation. Regulations are amended on a regular basis and are too numerous to list here. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 7a | Congregation, the University's ultimate legislative body, is composed of virtually all academic staff and certain research support staff, administrators and librarians. Members of Congregation elect eleven members of Council and approve the appointment of the four external members of Council. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 7b | Congregation has responsibility for considering major policy issues submitted to it by Council or members of Congregation; elects members to certain University bodies, including Council; and approves changes to the University's statutes and regulations, which define the University's governance structure. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b | Once the University's financial statements have been signed off, a meeting is arranged with key finance/tax personnel to identify changes from the previous year's Form 990, identify changes in applicable law, agree methodology for gathering information and agree a timetable for completion and review of the Form 990. After information has been gathered, figures are prepared and reconciled to the financial statements. A review is done at this stage by key tax/finance staff to ensure accuracy and completeness. Prior to submission, a final review of the Form 990 is undertaken by key staff including the Group Tax Director and the Director of Finance on behalf of Council (the University's governing body). |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c | The University has a conflict of interest committee, the remit of which includes ensuring that there are appropriate systems in place to promote and monitor compliance with the University's policy on conflict of interest. Committee secretaries are asked to draw the conflict of interest policy to the attention of their members on an annual basis and to remind committee members at each meeting of the requirement to declare any conflicts or potential conflicts. The University's internal auditors undertook a review of the University's conflict of interest policy and the processes in place to ensure compliance with the policy in 2016. The review concluded that the University has a clear policy and is committed to managing its conflicts and ensuring compliance. The internal auditors have completed a follow-up review in 2018, noting where progress has been made to further embed arrangements for recognising and managing conflicts of interest, and making a number of recommendations for next steps. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 | The University has a committee to review the salaries of senior University officers. The committee includes three members who are external to the University and two members who are not subject to arrangements with regard to their personal salary which are determined by any process involving an individual whose salary is covered by the remit of the committee. The committee makes recommendations to Council on the salaries on appointment of the Vice-Chancellor, the Registrar, and the Director of Finance; reviews the salaries of each of those office-holders with effect from the 1 October closest to two calendar years after the starting salaries were set for each office-holder; and reviews the salaries of each office-holder every two years thereafter. The committee is also responsible, on the recommendation of a panel of the personnel committee, for: * Determining the salaries on appointment of the Pro-Vice-Chancellors with special responsibility for designated functions and of the heads of divisions; * Reviewing the salaries of each of those office-holders with effect from the 1 October closest to two calendar years after the starting salaries were set for each office-holder; and * Reviewing the salaries of each office-holder every two years thereafter. In carrying out reviews the committee considers whether there have been any significant changes in the duties of, or any significant developments associated with, the offices concerned since the salaries of the holders of the offices were last determined; and ensures that the views of the officeholders concerned and the views of the officers to whom those officeholders are responsible have been solicited. |
