Eighty-nine percent of the entering freshmen students in the fall of 2011 returned to the
University in the fall of 2012. In each of the last three years, the University’s four-year and five-year
graduation rates exceeded 74%.

thirteen Great Lakes Colleges Association (GLCA) schools. The highest tuition, fees and room and board

student elects a deferred payment plan. Approximately 21% of students participate in some form of
tuition payment program at the University. Course registration, transcripts and diplomas are withheld in
the case of a student who has any unpaid obligations to the University.
STUDENT HOUSING
University residential housing facilities include for 2012-13 seventeen residence hall buildings
with a total system capacity of 1,009 students (actual occupancy 977). In addition, there are 387 students
residing in other University-owned apartment units (427 total capacity). The newest residence hall
facilities in Rector Village were constructed in 2004. The newest apartment complex was constructed in
2007. Fraternity and sorority houses provide living space for an additional 861 students. Approximately
100 students study off-campus each semester. All first-year students are required to live in one of six
residence halls (freshmen are not permitted to live in Rector Village), and all other students (with limited
exceptions) are required to live either in University housing units or in a fraternity or sorority house. The
number of students living in University residential units, the percentage they represent of total enrollment,

ENDOWMENT
The University considers its endowed assets to include donor-restricted, board-designated and
various other assets, such as marketable securities, perpetual trusts held by others, cash surrender value of
expected life insurance proceeds, selected fixed assets and certain notes receivable. Donor restricted
endowment funds are subject to the restrictions of gift instruments requiring that the principal be invested
in perpetuity and only the income be utilized. While the board-designated endowment funds have been
established by the Board of Trustees for the same purposes as donor-restricted funds, any portion of these
funds may be expended upon proper action by the Board. Endowment income and net gain on sale of
securities are distributed by a unitized method in compliance with appropriate restrictions. The
University is also an income beneficiary of separate trusts which are administered by others, and over
which the University has no control.

The University holds annuity, life income and charitable trust funds. The annuity funds represent
gifts to DePauw subject to the payment of annuities to the donor and/or named beneficiaries. The present
value of the aggregate liability for annuities payable based upon life expectancy tables is included as a
liability in the University’s financial statements. The University’s interest in life income and charitable
trust funds is subject to life income interests and similar arrangements with donors. On satisfaction of the
particular obligations, the principal balance of the respective fund is transferred to the fund group
designated by the donor. From June 30, 2008 through June 30, 2012, the market value of the assets in
this group of funds, which will be available to settle the liabilities to the donors and/or named
beneficiaries, was as follows:

GIFTS, GRANTS AND BEQUESTS
In order to continue to support the University and its programs, DePauw actively seeks gifts,
grants and bequests, including:

In February of 2012, DePauw’s Board of Trustees endorsed a comprehensive campaign
that targets funds for faculty and intellectual life, financial aid and student access, student
engagement and outcomes, and capital improvements to renew and improve the DePauw
campus. As of November 30, 2012, commitments of $90,679,588 had been received in
support of the campaign. A campaign target will be announced when the campaign
moves from the silent to public phase. The announcement is expected to take place in
late 2013 or early 2014.

“The Campaign for DePauw: Leadership for a New Century,” which was completed in
April of 2000, had a strong emphasis on fundraising to endow financial aid and support
faculty development. Resources from this successful fundraising campaign have been
invested to create a unique faculty development program which includes opportunities to
recognize faculty excellence in teaching, scholarship and service through appointment of
over 30 endowed professorships, faculty renewal opportunities through enhanced
sabbatical opportunities and over 70 grants to reassign faculty members from some aspect
of their normal teaching to course development or scholarly/creative activities.
DePauw University

Approximately 2% of faculty compensation is paid in the form of limited-duration (2-, 3-,
4- and 5- year) merit bonuses. Spurred by new aspirations for excellence by quickly
surpassing the original campaign target of $153 million, the trustees set a new goal
midway through the campaign of $300 million and eventually raised $374 million.

Building on a grant for excellence of $20,000,000 from the Lilly Endowment in 2001,
DePauw has created a series of technology-based initiatives, termed its 361° programs.
These include technology workshops for all students in competitive co-curricular
technology internship programs, faculty instructional technology support, greatly
improved facilities (60% tech classrooms), and an expanded student support staff.
DePauw has received national recognition for its leadership in the use of technology to
enhance teaching and learning.
