Description	Research - What sets Boston University apart as a research University is the breadth and depth of its research and the uniquely entrepreneurial spirit of its faculty. Researchers at BU are not afraid to cross disciplinary boundaries, as can be seen by strategic efforts to support interdisciplinary research and education in neuroscience, religion and world affairs, integrative biology, clean energy, sustainability and the environment, health care delivery, and global health to name a few. In each case, the emphasis is not on interdisciplinary for its own sake, but on using a multifaceted approach to solve the important and complex problems facing society today.	Description

Explanation	The University did not participate or intervene in any political campaigns. The majority of the amount reported represents payments to a consultant who acts as the University's Washington, D.C., representative, monitoring proposed and enacted legislation and other governmental developments of interest to and/or affecting the University. In addition, the consultant is a development advisor, a govermental relations and public relations coordinator, and serves as a liaison between the University and various governmental officials. The University also has one staff member who has responsibility for monitoring legislation and governmental developments of interest and and/or affecting the University on the state level. The University files semiannual reports with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts detailing these activities and expenses. It is possible that other individuals may have spent an insubstantial portion of their time on legislative matters of direct concern to higher education and may have incurred insubstantial expenses for postage and/or supplies. Boston University pays dues to various membership organizations in an effort to stay current on a wide variety of academic and administrative topics. The possibility exists that one or more of these membership organizations conduct lobbying activities on behalf of their members. However, Boston University does not directly participate in these lobbying activities.	Explanation

SchD_P03_S00_L01	Schedule D, Part III, Line 1	1A, The University's collections, which were acquired through purchase and contributions since the University's inception, are not recognized as assets on the Statement of Financial Position. Purchases of collection items are recorded as decreases in unrestricted net assets on the Statement in the year in which the items are acquired or as released from temporarily restricted net assets if the assets used to purchase the items had been restricted by donors. Contributed collection items are not reflected in the financial statements. Proceeds from deaccessions or insurance recoveries are reflected as increases in the appropriate net asset classes.
SchD_P03_S00_L04	Schedule D, Part III, Line 4	The University's collections are made up of artifacts of historical significance, scientific specimens, and art objects that are held for educational, research, scientific, and curatorial purposes. Each of the items is cataloged, preserved, and cared for, and activities verifying their existence and assessing their condition are performed regularly. The collections are subject to a policy that requires proceeds from dispositions to be used to acquire other items for collections.
SchD_P05_S00_L04	Schedule D, Part V, Line 4	The Endowment Fund provides the University with the flexibility and freedom to embark on new disciplines, to hire additional faculty, and to build or update facilities. It ensures regular funding levels for University departments, programs, and scholarships, and helps stem rises in tuition by supporting University operations that are otherwise paid for with student tuition and fees.
SchD_P10_S00_L00	Schedule D, Part X	The University's financial statements did not report a liability for uncertain tax positions under FIN 48.
