| Part I, Line 1a | One of the grants that the Law School received allowed for business class when travel time to the destination exceeds 14 hours. |
| Part I, Line 7 | Bonuses are given for exceptional performance. Sometimes they are set out at the beginning of the year in a reconfirmation letter which describes the criteria for achieving the bonus as well as the potential amount. They may also be given during the year or at annual performance review time. In either situation, consideration is given to budget limitations, the person's position, title and compensation, historical trends and market best practices. Prior to award and payment, the President, Dean and the Vice President for Finance and Administration must approve the bonus as well as the human resources department which checks for adherence to pre-established goals and consistency. |
