University Of Rochester reported $5.4B in 2023, up notably from the start of the window. CEO compensation is reported as zero in the filing — typical for nonprofits where the chief executive is paid through a related entity (parent system, university, or foundation) rather than the filing organization itself, or for small organizations whose chief is a volunteer or board member.

Education-sector nonprofits often hold large endowments, which affects how the reserves-and-revenue ratios should be read.
