Brandeis is wholly committed to the proposition that basic research is the engine of innovation in human health and well-being.

The University has the responsibility to help prevent harassment and discrimination from occurring, to pursue concerns of which it is aware, to investigate concerns thoroughly and in an impartial fashion, and to take immediate and appropriate action to remedy instances of harassment and discrimination. Brandeis takes this responsibility seriously. Therefore, violations of this policy will not be tolerated and may result in corrective action up to and including release from employment.

PART I, QUESTION 1 TRAVEL FOR COMPANIONS During calendar year 2019, the University reimbursed President Liebowitz for travel expenses incurred by his family while conducting business of the University. Such reimbursements were made in accordance with University policy. Travel reimbursements for the Presidents family that are considered personal in nature are included in taxable compensation and reported on Form W-2 and on Schedule J, Part II, Column B(iii). Business expense reimbursements are not treated as taxable compensation. Housing allowance or residence for personal use: The University provided President Liebowitz with a housing allowance as a condition of his employment. The value of such housing is includable as taxable income under IRS Code Section 119(d). Personal Services During calendar year 2019, the University reimbursed President Liebowitz for personal legal and financial service expenses. The amount paid by the University was included in the individual's form W-2 and reported on Schedule J, Part II, Column B(iii). Other Business Expenses The University reimburses its officers and key employees for ordinary and necessary business expenses incurred while conducting business of the University. Such reimbursement is made under an accountable plan and requires substantiation using the original expense documentations and approval by appropriate parties as authorized under University policy. Part I, Question 4a Severance or Change of Control Payment The university has an Employment and Separation policy that covers members of the senior management group, which provides severance provision from 4 weeks to 20 weeks. Some senior management may have additional severance provision as part of their employment arrangement. Ira Jackson, EVP of Communications, left his position at the beginning of calendar year 2019. As part of his separation agreement, Mr. Jackson received severance of $409,000, which was included in his W-2 and reported on Schedule J, Part II, Column B(iii). Part I, Question 4b DEFERRED COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENT President Liebowitz participates in a nonqualified deferred compensation arrangement under IRS code section 457(f). In accordance with his employment agreement, the University will credit a deferred compensation account on June 30th of every year beginning on June 30, 2017. The deferred compensation account will vest every three years contingent upon continuous employment. The deferred compensation account was credited with $83,500 on June 30, 2019, which also vested and became taxable on June 30, 2019. A total of $170,500 in deferred compensation was paid out during calendar year 2019, which includes deferred compensation credited from 2017-2019. Deferred compensation payout is reported on Schedule J, Part II, Column B(iii).

Return Reference Explanation
ORGANIZATION'S MISSION FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1 Brandeis University is a community of scholars and students united by their commitment to the pursuit of knowledge and its transmission from generation to generation. As a research University, Brandeis is dedicated to the advancement of the humanities, arts and of social, natural, and physical sciences. As a liberal arts college, Brandeis affirms the importance of a broad and critical education in enriching the lives of students and preparing them for full participation in a changing society. In this manner, Brandeis seeks to ensure its students are capable of promoting their own welfare while remaining deeply concerned about the welfare of others. In a world of challenging social and technological transformation, Brandeis remains a center of open inquiry and teaching, cherishing its independence from any doctrine of government. It strives to reflect the heterogeneity of the United States and of the world community whose ideas and concerns it shares. In the belief that the most important learning derives from the personal encounter and joint work of teachers and students, Brandeis encourages undergraduates and postgraduates to participate with distinguished faculty in research, scholarship and artistic activities.
REVIEW PROCESS FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B THE FINANCE OFFICE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR DRAFTING FORM 990. THE COMPLETED DRAFT IS SUBMITTED FOR REVIEW BY THE UNIVERSITY'S TAX ADVISORY FIRM. RECOMMENDED CHANGES ARE DISCUSSED WITH THE FINANCE OFFICE AND INCORPORATED INTO THE RETURN, AS APPROPRIATE. FOR FISCAL YEAR 2020, THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES HAS DELEGATED THE REVIEW OF THE FORM 990 TO THE RISK MANAGEMENT AND AUDIT COMMITTEE. THE RISK MANAGEMENT AND AUDIT COMMITTEE REVIEWED THE FORM 990 AND DISCUSSED ANY QUESTIONS WITH THE FINANCE OFFICE AND THE UNIVERSITY'S TAX ADVISORY FIRM. AFTER THE RISK MANAGEMENT AND AUDIT COMMITTEE REVIEW, AND PRIOR TO FILING THE COMPLETED FORM 990, A COPY OF THE FORM 990 WAS SENT TO EACH MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C The Brandeis University conflict of interest policy for trustees, officers and committee members establishes a process whereby potential, apparent and actual conflicts of interest of trustees, officers and non-trustee committee members may properly be avoided or managed so that the best interests of the University are protected. Officers, trustees and committee members complete an annual conflict of interest disclosure form, which is consistent with the policy and the applicable regulatory and auditing requirements. The Investment Committee members complete an annual disclosure form with additional questions related to University's Investments. Certain senior officers and financial employees are also required to complete an annual disclosure form with respect to the University's investments. The Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees, with the assistance of the General Counsel, oversees the collection and review of the disclosure forms. In the case of a potential, apparent, or actual related party transaction or other situation presenting a possible conflict of interest, the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees chair is responsible for deciding whether to submit the transaction or situation to the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees or the board for a determination. In addition, the University has established a separate conflict of interest policy for its employees. Under this policy, disclosure forms are completed annually by all senior officers, the President's cabinet, Department chairs, heads of centers and institutes, principal investigators and other designated senior officials and financial personnel. Persons with a conflict are recused from discussions and do not vote on resolutions that pertain directly to their conflict.
COMPENSATION POLICY FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15B The University is committed to attracting, retaining and motivating qualified employees, relating compensation to performance, promoting an equitable relationship between compensation and responsibility and ensuring compliance with law and regulation. This process is the foundation of all hiring, annual performance evaluations and salary adjustments. The Board of Trustees is responsible for approving the President's compensation based upon recommendation from the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees. Compensation paid to the President's direct reports shall be approved by the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees based upon a recommendation from the President. Compensation paid to the President's direct reports shall be reported to the Board of Trustees. The Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees utilizes independent external consultants to assist with both the review of compensation agreements and the gathering of comparability data in determining the reasonableness of compensation and compliance with the procedures described in Treasury Regulation Section 53.4958-6.
PUBLIC DISCLOSURE FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION C, LINE 19 The organization's financial statements and Form 990 are available online at www.brandeis.edu/business-finance. The University's governing documents are available online at www.brandeis.edu. The organization's Form 990 and audited financial statements are also available at the website of Massachusetts Attorney General.
