Return Reference Explanation
Schedule D, Part III, Line 5 Solicitation of Art, etc. Vanderbilt University solicited works of art to be sold at fundraising events in silent auctions. The fair market value of these items can range in value, and in FY20 the fair market value of these items did not meet the thresholds required for Form 8282 to be filed.
Schedule D, Part III, Line 1a Collections of art - financial statement footnote Purchases for the library collection are not included in the amounts above as Vanderbilt expenses such items at the time of purchase. As of June 30, 2020, the estimated replacement cost for library collections, including processing costs to properly identify, catalog, and shelve materials, totaled $445.6 million.
Schedule D, Part III, Line 4 Collections of art - description of collections Vanderbilt University maintains various collections of art, historical treasures and other similar assets in departments across the University. Such collections include, but are not limited to, historical drawings; historical scientific instruments; historical furniture; paintings; photography; book collections; and other similar items and artifacts. All such collections further Vanderbilt's exempt purpose by providing historical materials for students and researchers, and by providing cultural, historical and educational opportunities to Vanderbilt University students and the community at large through exhibits, displays, and loan or exchange programs.
Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 Intended uses of endowment funds Vanderbilt University's endowment funds, as related to Part V, are intended to be used for scholarships, fellowships, endowed academic chair support, and capital and operational support.
Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote Vanderbilt is a tax-exempt organization as described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code ("the Code"), and generally is exempt from federal income taxes on related income pursuant to Section 501(a) of the Code. Vanderbilt is, however, subject to federal and state income tax on unrelated business income, and provision for such taxes is included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Vanderbilt regularly evaluates its tax position and does not believe it has any material uncertain tax positions that require disclosure or adjustment to the consolidated financial statements. On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA") was enacted. TCJA impacts Vanderbilt in several ways, including imposing excise taxes on certain excess compensation and net investment income, and establishing new rules for calculating unrelated business taxable income. Vanderbilt has reflected the tax assets, liabilities, and payables in the consolidated financial statements based on reasonable estimates under the currently available regulatory guidance on the TCJA. Vanderbilt continues to evaluate the impact of the TCJA on current and future tax positions.

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

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. 6 officers, 3 highest compensated employees, 1 trustee and 1 key employee were provided first-class or charter travel that was not included in taxable compensation.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a Travel for companions 3 officers were provided companion travel that was included in taxable compensation. 3 highest compensated employees, 1 trustee and 1 officer was provided companion travel that was not included in taxable compensation.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a Housing allowance or residence for personal use 1 highest compensated employee was provided a housing allowance that was included in taxable compensation.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 4a Severance or change-of-control payment Certain Individuals Listed in Form 990, Schedule J, Part II received a severance payment in connection to their termination of status as an officer or highest paid employee. 2 payouts were made under a severance agreement: Bryce Drew: $2,533,333 David Williams: $955,869
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.

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). Four payouts were made under these plans to participating individuals in calendar year 2019. Anders Hall: $201,176 Derek Mason: $500,000 Brett Sweet: $200,000 Nicholas Zeppos: $1,200,000

Ingram and Mark Wilf - Business relationship, Steve Ertel, Eric Kopstain and Brett Sweet - Business relationship, Suzanne McGee and Ross Perot Jr. - Family relationship
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 representatives from relevant areas across the University including faculty, audit, research, legal, administrative, and compliance. At least one representative on the Committee is a person from outside the University community. The University's General Counsel serves as the chair of the Committee. 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 approve total compensation annually for the vice chancellors, and review and approve total compensation annually for the chancellor for recommendation to the Executive Committee of the Board of Trust . 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 for the chancellor is further recorded in the minutes of 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. Vanderbilt University makes its conflict of interest policy available to the public through its Compliance Program website located at http://www.vanderbilt.edu/compliance.
