REVIEW PROCESS Form 990 Part VI Line 11b THE UNIVERSITY'S PROCESS OF REVIEWING THE FORM 990: The University provided its substantially complete Form 990 to members of the Trustees Audit and Executive Committee. A conference call with these committee members was held with Syracuse University's Chancellor and President and Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer to review the form and summary report. This review included a walkthrough of the Form and schedules with dialogue on significant items and points and a further expansion of information provided in the summary report. Questions were addressed as raised by Committee members. Once finalized, the complete copy of the University's final Form 990 (including all required schedules, as ultimately filed with the IRS) is provided to each voting member of the Board through a secured Syracuse University Board of Trustees web portal before its filing with the IRS.

All completed questionnaires are reviewed by the Conflicts of Interest Administrator; the Comptroller also reviews those of trustees, officers, key employees and highest compensated employees. Conflicts are aggregated into a report which is provided to the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and the Audit Committee.
COMPENSATION POLICY Form 990 Part VI Line 15a Compensation for the Chancellor and President, officers, key employees and certain other covered individuals is established according to University policies that meet the three requirements of the rebuttable presumptions provisions under Treas. Reg. 53.4958-6. On an annual basis, typically in June, the Universitys Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees, who are independent and free of any conflicts of interest that would interfere with their exercise of independent judgment, meets to review the compensation of University leadership. The Executive Committee review is to determine the reasonableness of compensation following recommendations by the University leadership, review of national, higher education compensation surveys and internal compensation data. A record of the review is recorded in the minutes of the Board of Trustees.
