Activity Or Mission	Amherst College educates men and women of exceptional potential from all backgrounds so that they may seek, value and advance knowledge, engage the world around them, and lead principled lives of consequence. Amherst brings together the most promising students, whatever their financial need, in order to promote diversity of experience and ideas within a purposefully small residential community. Working closely with faculty, staff and administrators dedicated to intellectual freedom and the highest standards of instruction in the liberal arts, Amherst undergraduates assume substantial responsibility for undertaking inquiry and for shaping their education within and beyond the curriculum. Amherst College is committed to learning through close colloquy and to expanding the realm of knowledge through scholarly research and artistic creation at the highest level.

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 4	During the year ended June 30, 2015, the Trustees of Amherst College amended its By-Laws to increase the number of Board Members from twenty-one to twenty-five. In addition, a quorum was changed from nine members to a simple majority of members then in office.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b	The financial officers of the College reviewed Form 990, including all schedules with the President of the College, the Audit Committee and the Chairman of the Board of Trustees prior to filing this form. The remaining members of the Board of Trustees were provided a full copy of Form 990 prior to filing with the exception of Schedule B. In order to respect the wishes of donors that gave gifts with the assumption of remaining anonymous, the review of Schedule B was conducted by the Audit Committee and Chairman of the Board of Trustees and the President of the College.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c	All individuals covered by the policy complete a Conflict of Interest Disclosure Statement with the Secretary of the Board of Trustees (the "Secretary") annually. The Secretary accumulates all disclosure statements and furnishes a summary to the Conflict of Interest Review Committee. In all instances where the Conflict of Interest Review Committee determines that a conflict of interest does exist, such conflicts, and their remedy, are disclosed to the Board of Trustees at the next meeting. The Conflict of Interest Committee reports to the Board at least annually.

The College's President reviewed with the Board of Trustees the relevant survey information as well as senior staff performance evaluations and discussed annual salary adjustments. The Board of Trustees delegated to an ad hoc Committee on Compensation, consisting of independent trustees, authority to determine the compensation of the President. As provided in the Compensation Policy for Designated Individuals approved by the Board in May 2012, the Committee on Compensation reviewed the relevant survey information, conducted an annual evaluation of the President, determined the President's compensation and contemporaneously documented its decision. The Committee on Compensation shared its findings and compensation decision with the Board of Trustees.
