If that threshold is met, the tax position is then measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement and is recognized in the Council's financial statements. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there are no accruals for uncertain tax positions. If applicable, the Council records interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense. Tax years from 2020 through the current year remain open for examination by tax authorities. Currently, there are no examinations in process. The Council is required by the Internal Revenue Service to advise its members about the portion of their dues that are used for lobbying activities and therefore are not tax-deductible. Alternatively, the Council may pay a tax based on the cost of such activities. For fiscal years 2023 and 2022, the Council advised members what portion of their dues was not tax-deductible. 1 California State University Bakersfield 9001Stockdale Hwy Bakersfield CA 933111022 320291662 501(c)(3) 8000 0 Master's Subaward CUNY Graduate Center 365 5th Ave Rm 8110 New York NY 10016 131988190 501(c)(3) 8000 0 Mellon Subaward Georgia State University Research Foundation PO Box 3999 Atlanta GA 303023999 581845423 501(c)(3) 8000 0 Master's Subaward Hood College 401 Rosemont Ave Frederick MD 21701 520591608 501(c)(3) 8000 0 Master's Subaward Howard University 4th and College St NW 200 Washington DC 20059 530204707 501(c)(3) 8000 0 Mellon Subaward Jackson State University JSU Box 17057 Jacksonville MS 39217 646000507 501(c)(3) 8000 0 Master's Subaward Loyola University Chicago PO Box 777323 Chicago IL 606779056 361408475 501(c)(3) 8000 0 Mellon Subaward Michigan State University 426 Auditorium Rd Rm 2 East Lansing MI 48824 386005984 501(c)(3) 8000 0 Mellon Subaward Oakland University 371 Wilson Blvd Wilson Hall 501 Rochester MI 48309 381714400 501(c)(3) 8000 0 Master's Subaward ODU Research Foundation 4111 Monarch Way 204 Norfolk VA 23508 546068198 501(c)(3) 8000 0 Master's Subaward Purdue University 155 S Grant Morgan 170 Young Hall West Lafayette IN 47907 356002041 501(c)(3) 8000 0 Mellon Subaward Regents of the University of Minnesota NW 5957 PO Box 1450 Minneapolis MN 554855957 416007513 501(c)(3) 8000 0 Master's Subaward Texas State University 601 Univ Dr JCK 420 San Marcos TX 786664684 746002248 501(c)(3) 8000 0 Master's Subaward The University of Arizona PO Box 210158 Tucson AZ 85721 742652689 501(c)(3) 8000 0 Mellon Subaward The University of Southern Mississippi 118 College Dr 5157 Hattiesburg MS 39406 646000818 501(c)(3) 8000 0 Mellon Subaward University of California Irvine 228 Aldrich Hall Irvive CA 926971050 956006143 501(c)(3) 8000 0 Mellon Subaward University of North Dakota 264 Centennial Dr Stop 7306 Grand Forks ND 582027306 456002491 501(c)(3) 8000 0 Master's Subaward University of Texas El Paso 500 W Univ Ave Admin Bldg Rm 200 El Paso TX 79968 746000089 501(c)(3) 8000 0 Mellon Subaward Unv of North Texas Research & Innovation 1155 Union Circle 310979 Denton TX 76203 756002149 501(c)(3) 8000 0 Master's Subaward Wayne State University 5057 Woodward Ave 13001 Detroit MI 48202 386028429 501(c)(3) 8000 0 Mellon Subaward 20 0 Part I, Line 2: As part of our executed agreement with subawardees, they are required to submit an annual report for the funding that they have received from the Council.
