In addition to the federally mandated IRS form 990, Pitt annually must file a similar document with the commonwealth by May 30. The requirement is a result of the state’s “right-to-know” disclosure law passed in 2008.

The state requires total earnings figures on the University’s 25 highest-paid non-officers, instead of only the five highest-paid as required by the IRS. These total earnings are defined as the sum of base compensation, bonus/incentive compensation and other compensation, but do not include the IRS criteria of deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits. The figures are for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010, whereas the IRS figures in the accompanying stories are based on the 2009 calendar year.

1.  James P. Dixon II, Athletics — $1,538,500.
