ASC 740, INCOME TAXES, PERMITS AN ENTITY TO RECOGNIZE THE BENEFIT AND REQUIRES ACCRUAL OF AN UNCERTAIN TAX POSITION ONLY WHEN THE POSITION IS "MORE LIKELY THAN NOT" TO BE SUSTAINED IN THE EVENT OF EXAMINATION BY TAX AUTHORITIES. IN EVALUATION WHETHER A TAX POSITION HAS MET THE RECOGNITION THRESHOLD, THE COLLEGE MUST PRESUME THAT THE POSITION WILL BE EXAMINED BY THE APPROPRIATE TAXING AUTHORITY THAT HAS FULL KNOWLEDGE OF ALL RELEVANT INFORMATION. ASC 740 ALSO PROVIDES GUIDANCE ON THE RECOGNITION, MEASUREMENT, AND CLASSIFICATION OF INCOME TAX UNCERTAINTIES, ALONG WITH ANY RELATED INTEREST OR PENALTIES. TAX POSITIONS DEEMED TO MEET THE "MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT" THRESHOLD ARE RECORDED AS A TAX EXPENSE IN THE CURRENT YEAR. THE COLLEGE HAS ANALYZED ALL OPEN TAX YEARS, AS DEFINED BY STATUTES OF LIMITATIONS, FOR ALL MAJOR JURISDICTIONS. OPEN TAX YEARS ARE THOSE THAT ARE OPEN FOR EXAM BY TAXING AUTHORITIES.

FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1 ORGANIZATION'S MISSION	BENNINGTON COLLEGE IS A LIBERAL ARTS EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION LOCATED IN BENNINGTON, VERMONT. THE UNDERGRADUATE AND GRADUATE ENROLLMENT IS MORE THAN 750 STUDENTS. ORGANIZATION'S MISSION: THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO BROUGHT BENNINGTON COLLEGE INTO BEING SOUGHT TO CREATE A COLLEGE THAT WOULD EMPHASIZE "THE INDIVIDUAL STUDENT AND HER DEVELOPING INTERESTS," LEARNING "BY ACTIVITY AND LIVING," A COMMUNITY LIFE DESIGNED TO "BREAK DOWN ARTIFICIAL BARRIERS BETWEEN TEACHER AND STUDENT AND BETWEEN CURRICULUM AND EXTRA CURRICULUM," AND "A CONSCIOUS ELASTICITY IN EDUCATIONAL PLANS." THE PRINCIPLE OF LEARNING BY PRACTICE AND THE EMPHASIS ON THE INDIVIDUAL UNDERLIE EVERY MAJOR FEATURE OF A BENNINGTON EDUCATION: THE CLOSE WORKING RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN STUDENT AND TEACHER, THE INSISTENCE ON SELF-DETERMINATION, THE COMMITMENT TO LEARNING ACROSS THE DISCIPLINES, AND THE FIELD WORK TERM, WHICH GIVES STUDENTS WORK EXPERIENCE AND CONNECTS THEM TO THE GREATER COMMUNITY. THE PLAN PROCESS, THROUGH WHICH STUDENTS DESIGN THEIR ACADEMIC EXPERIENCES AND NAVIGATE THEIR BENNINGTON EDUCATION, EMBODIES THE COLLEGE'S MISSION. ALSO KEY TO BENNINGTON'S PHILOSOPHY IS THE CONVICTION THAT A COLLEGE EDUCATION SHOULD NOT MERELY PROVIDE PREPARATION FOR GRADUATE SCHOOL OR A CAREER, BUT SHOULD BE AN EXPERIENCE VALUABLE IN ITSELF AND THE MODEL FOR A LIFELONG HABIT OF LEARNING. IN THE 1930'S THE COLLEGE'S FIRST PRESIDENT, ROBERT DEVORE LEIGH, DEVELOPED A STATEMENT DESCRIBING BENNINGTON'S GUIDING IDEALS. THIS STATEMENT - WHICH WAS READ AT THE FIRST COMMENCEMENT IN 1936 AND HAS BEEN PART OF EVERY COMMENCEMENT SINCE - CONTINUES TO EXPRESS THE COLLEGE'S MISSION AND PURPOSES. COMMENCEMENT STATEMENT BENNINGTON REGARDS EDUCATION AS A SENSUAL AND ETHICAL, NO LESS THAN AN INTELLECTUAL, PROCESS. IT SEEKS TO LIBERATE AND NURTURE THE INDIVIDUALITY, THE CREATIVE INTELLIGENCE, AND THE ETHICAL AND AESTHETIC SENSIBILITY OF ITS STUDENT, TO THE END THAT THEIR RICHLY VARIED NATURAL ENDOWMENTS WILL BE DIRECTED TOWARD SELF-FULFILLMENT AND TOWARD CONSTRUCTIVE SOCIAL PURPOSES. WE BELIEVE THAT THESE EDUCATIONAL GOALS ARE BEST SERVED BY DEMANDING OUR STUDENTS' ACTIVE PARTICIPATION IN THE PLANNING OF THEIR OWN PROGRAMS, AND IN THE REGULATION OF THEIR OWN LIVES ON CAMPUS. STUDENT FREEDOM IS NOT THE ABSENCE OF RESTRAINT, HOWEVER; IT IS RATHER THE FULLEST POSSIBLE SUBSTITUTION OF HABITS OF SELF-RESTRAINT FOR RESTRAINT IMPOSED BY OTHERS. THE EXERCISE OF STUDENT FREEDOM IS THE VERY CONDITION OF A MEANINGFUL EDUCATION, AND AN ESSENTIAL ASPECT OF THE NURTURE OF FREE CITIZENS, DEDICATED TO CIVILIZED VALUES AND CAPABLE OF CREATIVE AND CONSTRUCTIVE MEMBERSHIP IN MODERN SOCIETY.
