Schedule J, Part I, Line 3	The Mercyhurst University Board of Trustees follows the recommendation of the Association of Governing Boards of Colleges and Universities among other leading authorities in our industry when dealing with presidential compensation and therefore, adheres to best practices established. The process/policy for setting presidential compensation at Mercyhurst University is the following. At Mercyhurst University, the Committee on Compensation of the Board of Trustees is responsible for the compensation-setting function of the President. The committee consists of no fewer than three trustees appointed by the chair of the board, who will also name a chair and vice chair. These trustees must be independent, without a conflict of interest as it relates to this area, and may not have been employed by Mercyhurst University in the last five years. No member may be an executive of Mercyhurst University. Continuously throughout the year, the Committee on Compensation evaluates the President's performance for the fiscal year-end and conducts a formal review at least once a year. The committee reviews the president's performance in light of the university's goals and objectives. In addition, the committee reviews the President's compensation to ensure that his compensation complies with rules governing tax-exempt universities described in the Internal Revenue Code, complies with compensation rules and regulations promulgated by any other regulatory agency or legislative authority and aligns appropriately with compensation levels at comparable universities. They use this review as the basis for recommendations on the president's compensation. The committee negotiates the terms of the (new or renewed) president's contract and increases in compensation level, elements of the compensation package, and structure. The recommendation is then presented for approval of the full board. At this time, the committee also requests the President to provide a list of goals and objectives for the institution and for the office of the president for the forthcoming year. This document provides the baseline used in evaluating the performance of the President. This request is followed up by a request of the Committee on Compensation to the President to prepare a report that assesses progress on each of the annual and standing objectives presented in the report.

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2	Joseph G NeCastro (Trustee) has a family relationship with Mark J Salvia (Trustee).
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b	The Form 990 for Mercyhurst University for the current fiscal year end was reviewed in detail by the Vice President for Finance and Administration, and by an independent accounting firm prior to filing with the IRS. In addition to management's review of the Form 990, each voting member of the Mercyhurst University Board of Trustees was e-mailed a notification approximately one week before the filing deadline that the final Form 990, including all required schedules, was made available on a secured website for review. Trustees were given an opportunity to ask questions and provide feedback to management prior to the filing of the return with the IRS.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c	Mercyhurst University has a written Conflict of Interest Policy. All officers, Trustees, and members of the President's Cabinet are required to disclose to the Board of Trustees any possible conflict of interest at the earliest practical time. Further, the Trustee shall absent him or her from discussion of, and abstain from voting on, such matters under consideration by the Board of Trustees or its committees. Each officer, Trustee, and member of the President's Cabinet shall complete and sign by May 15 of each year (or the first business day thereafter if May 15 falls on a weekend or holiday) a conflict of interest disclosure form provided annually by the Secretary of the Board of Trustees. The annual conflict of interest disclosure forms are reviewed first by the Chair of the Board of Trustees, who also serves as Chair of the Executive Committee and by the full Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees typically at its Fall meeting. Copies of the annual conflict of interest disclosure forms are provided to the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees, the Chair of the Board of Trustees, the Secretary of the Board of Trustees, the Chair of the Committee on Audit, the external audit firm, and the President of the University. In February 2013, the Board of Trustees introduced a mid-year Conflict of Interest Update to the annual Disclosure Form to enable those covered by the Conflict of Interest Policy to disclose any new conflicts that have arisen since the completion of the annual conflict of interest disclosure form.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15	Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 - The President reviews compensation increases for all employees. The President specifically makes recommendations for salary increases for employees who report directly to him. Salary increases are merit based, based upon the President's assessment of the individual's performance. In the spring the President presents his recommendations to the Committee on Compensation of the Board of Trustees for review and approval. The committee reviews the compensation requests to ensure that their compensation reflects Mercyhurst University's compensation philosophy, complies with rules governing tax-exempt universities described in the Internal Revenue Code, complies with compensation rules and regulations promulgated by any other regulatory agency or legislative authority and aligns appropriately with compensation levels at comparable universities. After approval salary increases are communicated to employees in the form of an annual appointment letter signed by either the President, the Provost, or the Vice President for Finance and Administration.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19	Mercyhurst University posts on its website its public disclosure requirement for Federal Form 990 and 990T. Additionally, on that website, it alerts users that if they wish to obtain either the University's Conflict of Interest policy or the governing documents of the University, they are available upon request.
Form 990, Part IX, Line 11g	$6,054,856 of the expenses for other services are related to the maintenance contract with Aramark. $7,284,279 is related to contract services for Grants and Institutes. The remaining $2,695,878 is related to general contract services for the University.
