Red Flags
Consistent reporting of 0% officer compensation, which is unusual for an organization of its size and could indicate a lack of transparency in executive pay reporting.
Significant decline in revenue and assets to $0 in the latest filing, indicating a complete cessation of independent operations.
Expenses exceeding revenue in the final active periods (e.g., $1,065,425 expenses vs. $947,871 revenue in 201408), suggesting operational deficits.
Strengths
Maintained substantial assets (over $14 million) throughout its operational history, indicating a strong asset base prior to its merger.
AI Transparency Report
Union Graduate College's financial health shows a significant decline in its final operational years, culminating in zero revenue and assets in its latest filing, indicating its cessation of independent operations. The organization consistently reported expenses exceeding revenue in its last two active periods (201408 and 201406), with a deficit of $117,554 and $599,138 respectively. While the organization maintained substantial assets, peaking at $15.9 million in 201306, these were likely transferred or dissolved as part of its merger with Clarkson University. The consistent reporting of 0% officer compensation across all available filings suggests either a volunteer leadership structure or that compensation was not reported in a way that is easily discernible as 'officer compensation' in the 990, which could be a point of ambiguity regarding transparency if executives were indeed compensated. The lack of detailed spending breakdowns in the provided data limits a precise assessment of spending efficiency, but the overall financial trajectory points to a winding down of operations rather than ongoing financial distress.
