Executive Summary - Findings and Preliminary Recommendations
University of Louisville executives are generally at or above the market.
Matching executives to the market is not an exact science. We used three data sources to mitigate this weakness: peer group 990s and survey data available from The Chronical of Higher
Education and CUPA.
Dr. Ramsey has been President since November 2002 and due to his long tenure and high performance, is at the high end of the market.
The current compensation philosophy is (appears) to pay market salaries, incentives and provide deferred compensation arrangements to retain key executives. We recommend the University
develop a formal executive compensation philosophy document which would be used as a guide
for future compensation decisions.
Deferred compensation plans are used by many Universities and are considered common practice. A more detailed analysis should be conducted to determine if these plans are structured
to meet the Universitys objectives.
The peer group 990 data may be understated, as many report income from multiple sources. Although we did review foundation 990s, its impossible to know if we captured the complete picture from the 990s. A custom survey should be considered.

Data Sources
Selected Peer Group
The University of Louisville selected a peer group of 26 academic institutions, representing
universities within the Atlantic Coast Conference, as well as universities identified as peers due to
size, geography, and other characteristics.

Peer Universities
Peer Group 990s and Published Survey Compensation Data
Verisight used public filings to collect compensation data for similar executive positions at peer
universities as reported. The data sources used in this study were:
IRS Form 990s
The Executive Compensation at Public and Private Colleges database published by The Chronicle of Higher Education (reported for Presidents only)
The Administrators in Higher Education Salary Survey published by the College and University Professional Association (CUPA)
Data from all public filings was aged to July 1, 2015 at an annual rate of 3.0% a year.
Verisight drafted a custom compensation survey that could be used to gather specific compensation data, at peer universities willing to participate, for similar executive positions.
Verisight and The University of Louisville could partner to identify contact information for
prospective participants, which The University of Louisville indicated they would be able to
acquire, in an effort to maximize participation levels.
University of Louisville 12
Data Sources - Form 990s
Form 990s are filed by non-profit institutions, with key executive compensation typically disclosed
in the Schedule J. The components of compensation provided in the Schedule J include:
Base: Base compensation means nondiscretionary payments to a person (such as salary or fees)
Bonus: Examples include signing bonuses and payments based on satisfaction of a performance target (other than mere longevity of service).
Other: Examples include, but are not limited to, current-year payments of amounts earned in a prior year, payments under a severance plan, deferred amounts, and earnings or losses in
a nonqualified defined contribution plan subject to section 457(f) when they become
substantially vested.
Deferred: All current-year deferrals of compensation for the listed person under any retirement or other deferred compensation plan, whether qualified or nonqualified.
Nontaxable: Nontaxable benefits are benefits specifically excluded from taxation under the Internal Revenue Code.
Compensation paid to university leadership positions often comes from multiple sources, the university and the university foundation for example. These amounts are often reported in
separate Form 990s. In order to capture the complete compensation picture, Verisight aggregated
compensation amounts when reported in separate Form 990s.
University of Louisville 13
Data Sources Chronicle of Higher Education
The Chronicle of Higher Education compiles compensation data from surveyed public and private
institutions. The data is based on each institution's fiscal year, the most recent of which being
2013/2014. The components of compensation provided include:
Base pay: Total base salary provided, including compensation from private university-related foundations.
Bonus pay: The value of all bonuses and incentive compensation paid out.
Deferred compensation, paid out: Compensation that was set aside in previous years and paid out during the fiscal year covered.
Severance pay: Payments made to the chief executive upon his or her resignation or firing, as determined by his or her contract, separation agreement, or a legal settlement. This can
include severance pay, unused vacation pay, or other agreed-upon separation pay.
Retirement pay: Payments made by the university to a retirement plan that is available to any university employee during the fiscal year. This can include 401(k) plans, state pension
plans, and other retirement plans that are broadly available. (As this is not paid out during the
reporting year, it is not included in "Total Compensation.")
Deferred compensation, set aside: This is to be paid out in future years, and can include contributions to supplemental executive retirement plans. (As this is not paid out during the
reporting year, it is not included in "Total Compensation.")
University of Louisville 14
Data Sources - CUPA
The Administrators in Higher Education Salary Survey (AHESS), published by the College and
University Professional Association (CUPA), collects base salary data for 191 positions with
primary assignments requiring the management of an institution or of a customarily recognized
division within it.
CUPA allows users to create a custom peer group to collect base salary data. All but one of the university peers identified (Virginia Commonwealth University) participated in the 2014/2015
survey. Verisight created a custom peer group based on the remaining 25 academic institutions
selected by the University of Louisville as peers.
Verisight was able to download individual participant base salary data for similar positions, which are shown in the appendices; however, the individual institutions are not identified by name so as
to protect their confidentiality.
The AHESS survey only reports base salary data.

Deferred Compensation and Executive
Benefit Prevelance
CUPA Survey - Benefit Prevalence
The table on the following page summarizes how many Universities offer deferred compensation and incentive compensation plans.
Approximately 53% offer deferred compensation.
Approximately 30% offer incentive compensation.
CUPA is only one data source. Our experience working with other Universities is that deferred compensation is common and incentive compensation usage is growing.
University of Louisville 21
Deferred Compensation Projected Payout
Dr. Ramseys contract calls for an annual University payment of $250,000 to his deferred compensation account until 2020. Ignoring past contributions, his projected retirement is
estimated in the table below. Further analysis may be needed to confirm these projections.
