The Articles of Incorporation allow for the inclusion of additional supported organizations by mentioning, after the list of specific named organizations, and other such colleges and universities with programs of undergraduate studies in Japanese language and culture..." The Bylaws do not list any supported organizations by name, but list the requirements for such organizations according to their IRS status as educational organizations under sections 501(c)(3), 509(a)(1), and 170(b)(1)(A)(ii); their curriculum in the liberal arts; their institutional commitment to Japanese studies; and their institutional commitment to allowing students to utilize student financial aid to participate in the Associated Kyoto Program. |

| Part IV, Section E, Line 2b: | All of the consortium colleges and universities offer study-abroad programs. The consortium members use the program for study-abroad in Japan that they would otherwise offer themselves if not for the program's involvement. |
