| Form 990, Part I, Line 1 COVID Disclosure | As a result of the outbreak of COVID-19, Trinity University made significant changes to their operations during the tax year to limit students' exposure to the virus and protect the broader Trinity and San Antonio communities. These changes had an immediate impact on the university's community and its financial performance. For the 2020-21 academic year, the University decided to de densify residence halls by approximately 50%, which had a direct impact on housing and dining revenue. As a result of the short-term and potential long-term implications that this public health emergency has had on instruction, student experience, and operations, the University is unable to predict the impact on the generation of revenues and other financial effects. |
