Return Reference Explanation
Part II - Loans to and/or From Interested Persons As disclosed in the Form 990 filing for the University's fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, and in Schedule J, Part III of this Form 990, as a condition of employment, the president is required to live in a Board of Regents (Board) approved residence 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 2019 loan, which was secured by the residence, was for 30 years in the amount of $2,894,000. It fully financed the purchase of the residence. Loan principal was to be paid upon maturity or termination of employment. Annual payments were to be for interest only, unless interest was forgiven by the Board, which was the case in calendar year 2020, based on its determination that his residence was used for substantial official University functions and business on a continuous basis. Interest forgiveness was imputed into his taxable income, with a gross-up payment made to him to cover the tax withholding impact of the imputed income. On August 6, 2021, Dr. Nyre conveyed the residence to the University for $1.00 for the reasons noted in Schedule J, Part III. In connection with the conveyance, the loan of $2,894,000 was discharged in its entirety.
Part III - Grants or Assistance Benefiting Interested Persons Seton Hall University is not required to identify interested persons to whom assistance was provided under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).
Part IV - Business Transactions Involving Interested Persons The brother of Mary Ann Christopher, trustee/Regent, is a partner in the Law Firm of Gibbons P.C. Seton Hall University paid Gibbons P.C. $258,080, for legal services in the year ended June 30, 2021. The two sisters and daughter-in-law of Dr. Tracy H. Gottlieb, Former V.P. for Student Services, served as employees of the University. In fiscal year 2021,they received total compensation and benefits of $169,090, $68,742, and $135,998, respectively. The daughter of Matthew Borowick, MBA, Interim V.P. Advancement, served as an employee of the University. In fiscal year 2021, she received total compensation and benefits of $59,724. All transactions with interested persons were conducted at arm's length, for good sufficient consideration, based on terms that are fair and reasonable to and for the benefit of the University. The applicable interested persons had no influence over the decisions to enter into the transactions.
