Return Reference
Explanation
Part I, Line 1a
In rare cases, Middlebury uses gross-up payments to minimize the tax burden to an employee who takes on an assignment on behalf of Middlebury that results in additional taxable income. Middlebury has grossed up dependent tuition benefits for a Middlebury highly compensated employee. As a condition of employment Middlebury provides a Middlebury Officer with a residence for the convenience of the employer.
Part I, Line 4b
The Secretary participates in a supplemental nonqualified retirement plan which is contingent upon services. Contributions to the plan amounted to $50,000. Payments from the plan were made to the Executive Vice President and Provost, Vice President of Risk and Compliance, Special Advisor of Initiatives, the Treasurer and the Former President. These payments were $225,000, $200,000, $100,000, $200,000 and $2,961,000, respectively. Individuals that received payments no longer participate in the plan. Deferred compensation includes pretax contributions to the voluntary retirement plan, contributions to Middlebury's non-qualified tax advantaged deferred-compensation retirement plan (457 plan), and Middlebury contributions to the core retirement plan on the behalf of the employee.
Part I, Line 7
The President's compensation is set by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees. Any increases shall be within the Board's sole discretion and shall be based upon the President's performance, which will be reviewed yearly, prior to June 30 by the Chair of the Board, who will make a recommendation to the Compensation Committee for compensation.
Part I, Line 8
The President's employment contract includes provisions governing the following: term of the contract, renewal/extension, duties, compensation, benefits/reimbursements, evaluation process of the president, termination, office and residence expenses, and sabbatical leave. Part II, Column (D) Nontaxable benefits include, but are not limited to, nontaxable housing, flexible spending accounts, tuition reimbursement program, medical, dental, and vision insurance, workman's compensation insurance, life insurance, disability insurance, and unemployment insurance.
