There is not a separate footnote in the University financial statements addressing the easement agreement.

Several other endowments support academic programs, the library, the performing arts center and other areas of the University.

Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a(1) First Class or Charter Travel - The President and the Provost are permitted to fly first class while certain other VPs are permitted if the trip is either cross country or international in nature. To the extent the spouse of an employee permitted to fly first class is required to accompany them on a particular trip, these privileges extend to the spouse. The University did not use any charter travel during the reporting period. (2)(3) Travel for Companions and Gross-up Payments - the President is permitted to take his wife on certain trips that are pre-approved by the Chair of the Board of Trustees. All costs associated with the travel of the President's wife, including the gross up of those expenses, are treated as compensation to the President on Form W-2. The Provost and certain other Vice Presidents who are involved in fund raising and entertainment events are occasionally permitted to take their spouses or companions on such trips. (4) Discretionary Spending - the President, the Provost incurred certain travel expenses without having to account to the institution under the accountable plan rules. These amounts have been reported as compensation to these individuals. (5) Housing Allowance or Residence for Personal Use - The use of a University owned residence is provided to the Vice President for External Affairs who is a Monsignor in the Catholic Church. The rent expense has been reported as compensation to the individual.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 1bThe Organization provided payment and/or reimbursement to certain disqualified persons for certain expenses that were not done so in accordance with the Organization's written policies covering said expenses. The determination to permit these expenses was under the control and responsibility of these disqualified persons and the process for doing so is not known and has not been documented.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 3The Mercyhurst University Board of Trustees follows the recommendation of the Association of Governing Boards of Universities and universities 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. In May, the Committee on Compensation evaluates the President's performance for the fiscal year-end May. 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 10 to 12 months later. This request is followed up in both October and February 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 May report.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 4Jim Lieb
Schedule J, Part I, Line 7Discretionary Spending - The President, Provost and certain other Vice Presidents incurred certain travel expenses and did not meet the accountable plan rules. These amounts have been reported as compensation to these individuals.

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2Owen McCormick (Trustee) business relationship with Marlene Mosco (Trustee)
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 4Corporate bylaws were amended at the Oct. 11, 2014, meeting and reflect major changes in the role of the Sisters of Mercy as Trustees. (1)The president (or her designee) of the New York, Pennsylvania, Pacific West (NyPPaW) Community is no longer an ex officio Trustee; (2)The number of Sisters of Mercy required to be Trustees of Mercyhurst University is at least two but no more than five; (3)The election of a Sister-Trustee must be approved by the Conference for Mercy Higher Education; and, (4)A Sister Trustee is no longer required to have a seat on the Committee on Governance, but is required to be a member of the Subcommittee on Institutional Planning. Also, the chair of the board was given authority to call an executive session with or without ex officio Trustees. Standing and subcommittee chairs were given authority to hold executive sessions with Trustees whenever needed. Voting by Written Consent was changed to Action by Unanimous Written Consent. Name of the Committee on Trusteeship was changed to Committee on Governance. Name of the Subcommittee on Strategic Finance was changed to Subcommittee on Institutional Planning. The president was given the authority to recommend internal professionals for appointment to standing or subcommittees; and the chair of the board may appoint external professionals from the community to serve on these committees. Executive Committee membership was clarified to also include assistant secretaries, treasurer, and one Sister-Trustee. Officers of the board were changed to include a treasurer from the board of trustees.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11bThe Form 990 for Mercyhurst University for the current fiscal year end was reviewed in detail by the Assistant Vice President for Finance and Treasurer prior to filing with the IRS. In addition to management's review, the final Form 990, including all required schedules, was made available to each voting member of the Mercyhurst University Board of Trustees before the filing deadline. 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 12cMercyhurst University has a written Conflict of Interest Policy. All officers, Trustees, and members of the President's staff 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 staff 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 15The President reviews compensation increases for all employees. The President specifically makes recommendations for salary increases for employees who report directly to him, and all officers and key employees. Salary increases are merit based, based upon the President's assessment of the individual's performance. In May 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 or the Vice President for Finance and Administration.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19Mercyhurst University posts its audited financial statement on the same webpage that it accomplishes its public disclosure requirement for its 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.
