Part III
Supplemental Information
Provide the information, explanation, or descriptions required for Part I, lines 1a, 1b, 3, 4a, 4b, 4c, 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b, 7, and 8, and for Part II. Also complete this part for any additional information.
Return Reference Explanation
Part I, Line 1a Joseph E. Nyre, Ph.D. became President/CEO/Trustee/Regent on August 1, 2019. Under the terms of his employment agreement with the University, the University provides him with certain permissible expense reimbursements, including for the business use of his residence, which are imputed as taxable income as appropriate. Where applicable, gross-up payments are made to him to cover the tax withholding impact associated with imputed income. As a condition of employment, the president is required to live in a Board of Regents (Board) approved residence which is in close proximity to the University's South Orange, New Jersey campus, and is suitable for entertaining groups large and small and conducting University business. Rather than the University initially purchasing a residence suitable for conducting University business, the employment agreement required the president to purchase a Board-approved residence with a loan from the University. The resulting expense ramifications to the University, which includes the impact of imputed income and gross-up payments to the president, are reported in this Form 990 and will also be reflected in the subsequent fiscal year's filing. Upon assessing the total expense to the University associated with these amounts, the president requested the Board modify the employment agreement to reduce his total annual compensation. A new agreement was entered into in June of 2021, the president conveyed the residence to the University for $1.00 on August 6, 2021, and his total compensation was reduced, all of which will be reflected in the fiscal year 2023 Form 990 filing and thereafter. For further information related to the residence, see the Schedule L, Part II narrative included in Part V supplemental information. Housing and related services are provided at no charge to members of its priest community, which includes an officer and certain regents and trustees as reflected in Part VII of the Form 990. Where appropriate, the value of these housing and related benefits is reflected in Part VII, Section A, Column F as other compensation and in Schedule J, Part II as nontaxable benefits for the priest who met the compensation requirement for inclusion in Schedule J. Membership fees for the University's Men's Basketball Coach, Kevin Willard, its Women's Basketball Coach, Anthony Bozzella, its Athletics Director, Bryan Felt, and its EVP/Chief of Staff, Patrick G. Lyons, were paid by the University to assist such individuals in their duties involving donor cultivation and fundraising for the University. The fees associated with their business-related attendance are included in nontaxable benefits in Schedule J, Part II. To the extent of any personal usage of same, a portion of these fees are included in the recipient's taxable income. Certain members of the University, including its President, Men's Basketball Coach, and Women's Basketball Coach and other members of the executive cabinet, are permitted to have their spouses accompany them to a limited number of University business events, including fundraising and alumni events. Where appropriate, the value of personal travel benefits is included in the recipient's taxable income. The compensation information reflected in the Form 990 is based on calendar year 2020 and was payable (or disclosable, as the case may be) consistent with the terms of each executive's underlying employment agreement, the existence of which generally pre-dates the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and the University's response to same.
Part I, Line 4a The Former VP for Administration received solely severance and accrued vacation pay in calendar year 2020. It is reported on Schedule J, Part II column (iii).
Part I, Line 4b Certain key executives of the University participate in its 457(f) non-qualified deferred compensation plan, which is intended to permit the University to attract and retain talented individuals while requiring same to generally satisfy certain performance and employment continuation requirements as a precondition of his or her receipt of any amounts thereunder. During 2020, the following executives participated in the deferred compensation plan: Patrick G. Lyons, MBA, EVP/Chief of Staff: $100,000; Katia Passerini, Ph.D., Provost and EVP: $40,000; Kimberly A. Capadona, Esq., General Counsel: $30,900; and Jon Paparsenos, VP, University Advancement: $34,000. Deferred amounts which may be payable in the future are reflected in Column C of Schedule J, Part II for those executives who meet the compensation requirement for inclusion in Schedule J.
