| GENERAL EXPLANATORY STATEMENT REGARDING THE COVID-19 impact | on the college In December 2019, an outbreak of a novel strain of Coronavirus ("covid-19") emerged globally, and in March 2020 the World Health Organization declared the spread of COVID-19 a worldwide pandemic. Keeping the health and safety of the community as its primary priority, the Colleges campus was closed in March 2020 and moved the remainder of the spring 2020 semester to virtual learning. Students received refunds and future statement credits for their unused housing and meal plans through the end of the semester, resulting in lost revenue of $518,627, which would have been included in Auxiliary Enterprises revenue, net on the statement of activities for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2020. The impact of the revenue loss was lessened by the expense reductions commensurate with activity on campus which included athletics, cancelled travel and events, lower programming and other operating expense constraints. As a response to the COVID-19 pandemic the U.S. federal government passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("Cares Act"). During fiscal 2020 the College was awarded a Higher Education Emergency Relief fund ("HEERF") grant totaling $1,807,795 under the CARES Act. A portion of the HEERF grant totaling $879,783 was disbursed to qualifying students for emergency aid and is recognized as governmental grant revenue on the fiscal 2020 statement of activities along with $69,770 recognized as grant revenue for institutional support. The balance of the grant awarded totaling $858,242 to support institutional expenses related to COVID-19 is recognized as deferred revenue on the accompanying fiscal 2020 statement of financial position as these funds will be used to support fiscal 2021 expenditures. These funds are subject to audit and compliance with federal regulations. The College believes it has met the conditions to retain these funds, and accordingly, no amounts are reserved for repayment at June 30, 2020 in the accompanying statement of financial position. On April 16, 2020 the College received loan proceeds in the amount of $3,150,500 under the Paycheck Protection Program. The College intends to use the proceeds for purposes consistent with the PPP and apply for forgiveness at the earliest opportunity. When the College is legally released from the debt, or forgiveness is granted, the extinguishment will be recognized into income at that time. Form 990, Part IV, Line 34 RELATED PARTIES DISCLOSURE THE COLLEGE WAS FOUNDED BY THE SISTERS OF ST. DOMINIC OF BLAUVELT IN 1952 AS A THREE-YEAR LIBERAL ARTS COLLEGE IN THE CATHOLIC TRADITION, OFFERING A TEACHER PREPARATION PROGRAM FOR WOMEN RELIGIOUS. THE COLLEGE DEEMS THE SISTERHOOD TO BE A RELATED PARTY OF THE COLLEGE, BUT SINCE THE SISTERS DO NOT MEET THE IRS DEFINITION OF A RELATED PARTY, THE COLLEGE HAS OPTED TO NOT COMPLETE A SCHEDULE R. IN THE INTERESTS OF FULL DISCLOSURE, THE COLLEGE IS INCLUDING THIS SCHEDULE O NARRATIVE TO DISCLOSE THE RELATIONSHIP. |
| FORM 990, PART IV, SECTION A | GOVERNING BODY AND MANAGEMENT THE COLLEGE IS REPORTING 32 BOARD MEMBERS, OF WHICH 30 ARE INDEPENDENT VOTING MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. THE TWO "COMPENSATED" BOARD MEMBERS ARE MEMBERS OF THE DOMINICAN SISTERS OF BLAUVELT WHO HAVE TAKEN A BONA FIDE VOW OF POVERTY. ALL AMOUNTS REPORTED IN PART VII AND SCHEDULE J OF THE 990 WERE PAID DIRECTLY TO THE ORDER. WHILE THE SISTERS COULD BE CONSIDERED INDEPENDENT UNDER THE IRS GUIDELINES; NEVERTHELESS, IN THE INTEREST OF FULL DISCLOSURE, THE COLLEGE IS REPORTING THEM BOTH AS NON-INDEPENDENT. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B POLICIES | LINE 11 - PROCESS USED TO REVIEW FORM 990 THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES REVIEWS THE FINAL DRAFT OF THE FORM 990. THE AUDIT COMMITTEE MAKES RECOMMENDATIONS ON CHANGES AS NECESSARY. THE COMMITTEE VOTES TO APPROVE THE FORM 990 AND ARRANGES TO HAVE THE APPROVED FORM 990 SENT TO EACH BOARD MEMBER FOR REVIEW AND COMMENTS. THE AUDIT COMMITTEE RESOLVES INQUIRIES FROM BOARD MEMBERS AFTER THEIR REVIEW. ONCE THE PROCESS IS COMPLETE, THE COLLEGE SUBMITS THE FORM 990 TO THE IRS. |
| LINE 12 - ENFORCEMENT & MONITORING OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY | THE COLLEGE REQUIRES ALL OFFICERS, TRUSTEES AND KEY EMPLOYEES TO COMPLETE AN ANNUAL QUESTIONAIRE THAT REQUIRES THE INDIVIDUALS TO DISCLOSE ANY TRANSACTIONS THAT MAY POTENTIALLY RESULT IN A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. THESE ARE REVIEWED BY THE BOARD CHAIRMAN AND THE PRESIDENT OF THE COLLEGE. THE VP FOR FINANCIAL AFFAIRS COLLECTS THE KEY EMPLOYEE DISCLOSURE FORMS AND REVIEWS THEM WITH THE PRESIDENT OF THE COLLEGE. TO THE EXTENT THAT A CONFLICT OF INTEREST IS DISCOVERED, THE TRANSACTION IS VETTED IMMEDIATELY AND THE APPROPRIATE ACTION UNDERTAKEN. |
| LINE 15 - PROCESS FOR DETERMINING COMPENSATION | THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES SERVES AS THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE WHICH REVIEWS AND APPROVES ALL KEY EMPLOYEE ANNUAL COMPENSATION WITHOUT ANY CONFLICT OF INTEREST WITH RESPECT TO THAT COMPENSATION. THE COMMITTEE USED COMPARABLE COMPENSATION DATA FOR SIMILARLY QUALIFIED PEOPLE IN FUNCTIONALLY COMPARABLE POSITIONS AT SIMILAR ORGANIZATIONS. THIS IS AN ANNUAL PROCESS WHERE CONTEMPORANEOUS DOCUMENTATION OF THE DELIBERATION AND DECISION REGARDING THE COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENT IS RECORDED. THE COMMITTEE UTILIZES DATA FROM CUPA-HR AS COMPARATIVE DATA FOR ANALYSIS. DOMINICAN COLLEGE COMMISSIONED ITS LAST COMPENSATION SURVEY IN MARCH OF 2019. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION C | DISCLOSURE LINE 19 - AVAILABILITY OF DOCUMENTS TO THE PUBLIC MAKES ITS FORM 990 AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC BY RETAINING A COPY AT ITS PLACE OF BUSINESS. THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, GOVERNING DOCUMENTS AND CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY ARE NOT ORDINARILY MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC, BUT, IF REQUESTED, WILL BE PROVIDED AT MANAGEMENT'S DISCRETION. |
