Return Reference Explanation
Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 Procedures for monitoring use of grant funds. subrecipient grants: Vanderbilt University maintains a formal policy defining its procedures for monitoring the use of sponsored funds by subrecipients who are performing a portion of a sponsored project externally awarded to Vanderbilt. The policy provides guidance to ensure that subrecipients conduct their portions of sponsored projects in compliance with laws, regulations, terms and conditions of awards and subawards, and that reimbursed costs incurred by subrecipients are allowed. The policy addresses the roles and responsibilities of central offices and academic departments of the university and describes the monitoring procedures for each area. The full text of Vanderbilt's subrecipient policy is available online at the following web address: https://www.vanderbilt.edu/ocga/docs/vupolicies/subrecipient/RevisedVUSubrecipientMonitoringGuidelines_effective12_26_2014.pdf Financial Aid: Assistance offered from institutional funds by Vanderbilt to our students is awarded on the basis of merit and/or financial need. Such assistance helps students and their families support the cost of attendance which includes tuition, mandatory fees, room & board, books, other course materials/supplies, and allowances for personal/miscellaneous and travel expenses. Merit-based awards are competitively awarded in recognition of academic achievement, leadership, and commitment to community service, contributions to society, and other forms of accomplishment. Need-based assistance is awarded on the basis of documented financial need, resulting from a need analysis evaluation accomplished in accordance with relevant and applicable federal, state, and/or institutional programs, policies, and eligibility requirements. The units responsible for administering student financial aid at Vanderbilt regularly initiate system-generated reviews, as well as other cross-checks on an ad hoc basis. Results from these reviews, along with recurring management reports, are regularly evaluated. Subsequently, follow-up corrective actions are taken when appropriate and potentially include award revisions or cancellations. These provisions are designed to help ensure that student assistance funds are awarded to eligible recipients, in accordance with applicable federal, state, institutional, and other program legislation, as well as relevant internal University policies and operational guidelines/criteria.

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
Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a First-class or charter travel Vanderbilt excludes first-class and charter travel from taxable income when a documented business purpose is served. First-class or charter travel - Travelers should fly via commercial airline and work to obtain the lowest fare possible. Business class or first class seating may only be used if the traveler's Vice Chancellor provides approval in writing in advance. This approval is only provided for limited circumstances as provided in Vanderbilt's Travel and Business Expense Policy. In cases where it is not possible to fly commercial due to scheduling commitments, and the travel is of the highest importance, travelers may request that the Chancellor approve a charter flight. After weighing the benefits of the trip against the cost of the charter, the chancellor may approve a charter flight. The Board of Trust has approved first class and charter travel for the Chancellor when necessitated by his schedule. Per Vanderbilt's athletics travel policy, the Vice Chancellor for University Affairs and Athletics can approve non-student travel on team charter flights, when there are extra seats, without requiring reimbursement to the university since the charter fee is not determined by the number of actual passengers. 4 officers, 3 highest compensated employees, and 2 trustees were provided first-class or charter travel that was not included in taxable compensation.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a Travel for companions 1 officer was provided companion travel that was included in taxable compensation. 1 highest compensated employee and 1 trustee were provided companion travel that was not included in taxable compensation.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 4b Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan Certain individuals listed in Form 990. Schedule J, Part II, participate in nonqualified deferred compensation plans. Amounts contributed to the plans include fixed %s of annual bonus payments, and fixed dollar amounts. Contributions to the plan vest when individuals complete their contract term or continue employment to a designated date. Current year accruals of compensation associated with these plans are included in the amounts reported for such individuals in Schedule J, Part II, Column (C). The payout of these amounts in future years will be included in the amounts reported in Schedule J, Part II, Column (B)(ii), and will also be reported in Schedule J, Part II, Column (F). 3 payouts were made under these plans to participating individuals in calendar year 2017. Brett Sweet: $500,000 Hunter McCrossin: $392,285 Travis Shore: $361,738
Schedule J, Part I, Line 7 Non-fixed payments Certain individuals listed in Schedule J, Part II received variable incentive compensation based on the achievement of pre-established goals, where judgement was determined either by the Board of Trust or the Chancellor. Incentive payments are shown in Schedule J, Part II, Column B(ii).
Schedule J, Part I, Line 8 Payments on contract that is subject to the initial contract exception Certain individuals are, from time to time, serving under the provisions of their initial contract to serve as officers of the university, which principally establishes their compensation, responsibilities and duties.

Schedule K, Part III, Line 4 Prvate Business Use VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY IS REPORTING PRIVATE BUSINESS USE PERCENTAGES ON A NET BASIS. REPORTING ON A NET BASIS MEANS THAT PRIVATE BUSINESS USE HAS BEEN ALLOCATED TO THE EQUITY PORTION OF ANY DEBT-FINANCED BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT WHERE PRIVATE BUSINESS USE HAS OCCURRED. IN VANDERBILT'S CASE, EQUITY HAS SUBSTANTIALLY EXCEEDED RELATIVELY MINOR PRIVATE BUSINESS USE, RESULTING IN ZERO REPORTED AMOUNTS ON A NET BASIS.
Schedule K, Part III, Line 8a Sale or Disposition of Bond-financed Property VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY CALCULATES THE PERCENTAGE OF SALE OR DISPOSITION OF BOND-FINANCED PROPERTY BY USING ALL DISPOSED PROPERTY IN THE NUMERATOR WITHOUT CONSIDERING IF THE PROPERTY WAS SOLD TO A PRIVATE ORGANIZATION OR DISPOSED OF IN THE REGULAR COURSE OF BUSINESS. THIS PROVIDES FOR A MORE CONSERVATIVE CALCULATION. THE ASSETS THAT HAVE BEEN DISPOSED OF CONSIST OF SMALL EQUIPMENT AND NO BOND-FINANCED BUILDINGS OR LARGE EQUIPMENT HAVE BEEN SOLD. IT IS NOT VANDERBILT'S POLICY TO SELL ANY BOND-FINANCED ASSETS TO A NONGOVERNMENTAL PERSON OTHER THAN A 501(C)(3) ORGANIZATION.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 2 Family/business relationships amongst interested persons Brett Sweet and David Williams - Business relationship, John R. Ingram and Mark Wilf - Business relationship
Form 990, Part VI, Line 4 Significant changes to organizational documents A Code of By-Laws amendment modified responsibilities pertaining to the Audit Committee.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b Review of form 990 by governing body The Form 990 is prepared by Vanderbilt University and provided to PricewaterhouseCoopers, Vanderbilt University's independent accounting firm for review. After review by PricewaterhouseCoopers, Vanderbilt University provides a draft copy of the Form 990 and all required schedules for review to all General Officers, which includes the chancellor and Chief Financial Officer. Once this review process is complete, all trustees are provided electronic access to the draft Form 990 and all required schedules for review. The final Form 990 and all required schedules are made available to the full Board of Trust for review via Boardbooks prior to the filing of the return.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c Conflict of interest policy Vanderbilt University requires that for any faculty or staff member disclosing a potential conflict of interest, the conflict be reviewed by the individual's manager, as well as by the conflict of interest and commitment management office, and the reported conflict be managed, reduced, or eliminated. The manager is required to respond that any recommended management plan has been implemented or that the reported conflict no longer exists. For those conflicts in which Vanderbilt may have an institutional interest, those in which human subject research is performed, or those deemed unmanageable, the university conflicts committee reviews and determines appropriate actions. The university conflicts committee members are appointed by the chancellor and are made up of a faculty member representing each of the university schools, the vice chancellor for administration, the assistant vice chancellor of technology transfer, the director of the human research and protection program, the associate vice chancellor of audit, risk and advisory services and the head of research for the university. The university conflicts committee is chaired by the vice chancellor, general counsel and secretary of the university. The university conflicts committee reports bi-annually to the audit committee of the Board of Trust the matters brought before the committee and the resulting actions. Board of Trust members and senior executive management of the university also must complete annual conflict of interest disclosures and management plans are developed to manage, reduce, or eliminate any potential conflicts of interest. Trustees are notified of their plans and the plans are thoroughly discussed with them to ensure compliance. Those with disclosed potential conflict of interest are presented to the audit committee of the board of trust, along with their respective management action plans, where applicable. Management plans may include restrictions on members such as recusing themselves during deliberations and decisions in which a potential conflict may exist, with the minutes of the meeting reflecting their recusal. Additionally, all members of the Vanderbilt community are required to disclose potential conflicts as they arise throughout the year. The same processes noted above occur for these disclosures.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a Process to establish compensation of top management official To ensure that Vanderbilt is paying reasonable total compensation, is not violating the private inurement prohibition, which requires that none of the organization's income or assets unreasonably benefit any of its trustees, officers, or key employees, and is in compliance with intermediate sanctions provisions with respect to the general officers, Vanderbilt's Board of Trust has designated a Compensation Committee made up of outside, independent, board members to review and recommend to the Executive Committee of the Board of Trust the total compensation annually for the general officers. The committee utilizes appropriate, nationally-recognized consulting firms to conduct market compensation analyses, provide expert information, and issue reasonableness opinions regarding comparative compensation norms, and to ensure compliance with all Internal Revenue Service rules concerning executive compensation, including the Internal Revenue Code provision related to intermediate sanctions, deferred compensation, and private inurement. The Compensation Committee reviews the executive compensation philosophy and affirms that it is in line with the Board's expectations. The compensation of the general officers is disclosed in the annual Form 990, which is available to the public in accordance with regulations section 301.6104(d)-1 through 3. Each year, the total compensation review and recommendations are recorded in the minutes of the Compensation Committee meetings. The approval of the recommendations is recorded in the Executive Committee meetings. The full Board is informed annually of the total compensation of the general officers during private session.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b Process to establish compensation of other employees Vanderbilt uses the same procedures as described in response to Part VI, Line 15a.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 19 Required documents available to the public Vanderbilt University makes its governing documents available to the public through its Board of Trust website located at: http://www.vanderbilt.edu/boardoftrust.
