It is one of the U.S. Senate’s more venerable traditions to ask one of its members to read George Washington’s Farewell Address to the American people each year on February 22, the official date of Washington’s birthday. Our first president had wise guidance for Congress and his successors, whom he advised to “promote, then, as an object of primary importance, institutions for the general diffusion of knowledge. In proportion as the structure of government gives force to public opinion, it is essential that public opinion should be enlightened.”

Washington’s argument that organized knowledge is an essential element of free government was enacted in the Morrill Act of 1862, which foresaw a vibrant set of land-grant universities providing both practical and liberal arts education as a vindication of democracy. Washington’s assertion echoed again in the 1964 Report of the Commission on the Humanities sponsored by ACLS, the Council of Graduate Schools in the United States, and the United Chapters of ACLS President Pauline Yu Phi Beta Kappa. The Commission’s formulation that “democracy demands wisdom” helped convince Congress of the wisdom of establishing the National Endowment for the Humanities.

But Washington’s advice has been lost on today’s leaders. The protracted battle over the federal budget has demonstrated that the humanities have few defenders in government—even President Barack Obama, a former university law professor and the rare American politician who actually writes the books that bear his name, has sought to reduce funding for the NEH. One reason the humanities are disadvan- taged during such delib erations is that they are not perceived as research enterprises. We need to recover the vision that strengthening and broadening higher education is essential to democracy both as a solvent for the calcifications of social caste and as a seedbed of diverse opinion. We need also to assert strongly that the humanities and humanities research produce new knowledge that is important not just on its own terms, but in relation to the entire spectrum of human inquiry.

Efforts are indeed afoot at ACLS to press this case. In 2011, we introduced “ACLS Fellows: Focus on Research,” an online series in which ACLS fellows describe their research, the knowledge it creates, and how this new knowledge benefits our understanding of the world. These reflections—from scholars of art history, philosophy, geography, anthropology, and literature—prove that humanities scholarship is far from just academics being clever on paper. ACLS fellows work in libraries and archives, but they also conduct research among diverse populations throughout the world and in collaboration with scientists, policy makers, and humanist colleagues. The questions they pose, and the breadth and depth of the knowledge they synthesize and generate, demonstrate that humanistic inquiry is essential to both our practical and loftier concerns. As Howard Mumford Jones put it more than 60 years ago, when he was chairman of ACLS, “Without the activity of humanities scholars . . . our available information about the human would grow more untrust- www.acls.org/talks www.acls.org/fellows/ worthy and eventually disappear.” The achievements of ACLS fellows richly focusonresearch illustrate this assertion.

1 A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT CONTINUED

ACLS also endeavors to conserve the ideal that has shaped our programs for the past 92 years: the conviction that the humanities are integral to any higher education worthy of the name. Education is more than just the recitation and reception of static, received ideas; it must involve continuous discovery, reinterpretation, and questioning. In other words, education must involve research, and the engine of higher education is the scholar-teacher who shares with students a dynamic engagement with his or her subject. While different institutions will have different research expectations of their faculty, none should exclude research from its definition of professional responsibilities. As Don Randel, president of The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, has put it, “It is perhaps quite simply unfair to expect the faculty to develop steadily in their students the instinct for discovery and the thrill of it while foreswearing any continuing experience of it themselves.”

It is a great satisfaction to report to you today that ACLS will continue to pursue these goals. While our resources are not yet commensurate with the necessity and ambition of our mission, we are fortunate that over the past 30 years support from foundations, universities, colleges, and the federal government, as well as from individual friends and former fellows, has allowed ACLS to grow in its ability to serve the scholarly community. Our endowment continues to recover from the losses of the Great Recession. An enormously significant booster for that recovery came in March 2011, when the Mellon Foundation awarded ACLS $6 million to be deposited in the general administration fund that supports our work as a federation of learned societies and as a representative of humanities scholarship. In 1990, ACLS divided its endowment into a larger portion to fund fellowship stipends and a smaller portion to help defray administrative costs. That ACLS has emphasized building its endowment devoted to fellowships ahead of support for our administration reflects our core commitments. We are grateful to have the Mellon Foundation as such a supportive partner in both our mission to advance humanistic studies through fellowship awards and our efforts to maintain and strengthen the infrastructure of scholarship as represented by learned societies.

ACLS awarded nearly $15 million in fellowship stipends to scholars in the United States and abroad in the 2010–2011 competitions. We have a diversified set of fellowship programs; each has a distinctive strategy, but all seek to identify future value in the current promise and past performance of the thousands of applicants who present themselves to us. Our set of fellowship programs covers almost every stage of the scholarly career, from dissertation research forward. Some programs focus on particular world areas—China and Eastern Europe—or on especially promising but sometimes undervalued methodologies, such as collaborative or digital research.

But it is our central fellowship program, the competition open to individuals from all fields, ranks, and institutions, as well as independent scholars (who do apply and succeed), that remains the lodestar of our efforts to support research. This is the only ACLS program supported by an endowment. Since former ACLS president John H. D’Arms began the reinvigoration of this program in 1997, the endowment

2 has grown to more than three times the size of our administrative fund, thanks to the support of many—especially that of our research university consortium. That growth has allowed us to increase the size and number of fellowship stipends we award. The decline in asset values brought about by the Great Recession has retarded our progress, but I am delighted to report that we have resumed an upward trajec- tory and been able to increase the size of stipends. In the 2011–2012 competition, fellowships for full professors will carry awards of $65,000, with those for associate professors set at $45,000 and for assistant professors at $35,000. Since 1997, ACLS has helped set the pace among the too few national organizations offering research fellowships to humanities scholars, and we must continue to do so.

But we must also continue to increase the number of fellowships we can offer. The ratio of applicants to awardees across all our programs is 15 to 1. Our rigorous fellowship selection panels regularly report that they could award many more fellowships if monies were available, with no diminution in the quality of the scholars or research projects supported. Put another way, increased investment in new knowledge will likely yield large dividends. I am grateful that we have received significant help from the National Endowment for the Humanities in our unceasing efforts to increase our investment. NEH has offered a $500,000 challenge grant, the proceeds of which will be deposited in our fellowships endowment. This is the largest such grant made by the NEH in 2011, and it requires us to raise matching funds in a ratio of 3 to 1. I would ask the Congress and the administration’s budget makers to consider carefully the enormous financial leverage these NEH grants achieve. And not just challenge grants: almost every NEH award is premised upon a public-private partnership that extends federal dollars, as just the fact of a federal award helps recipient agencies raise funds.

In the past two years, we have begun to extend our model of a fellowship beyond the support of an individual scholar’s research project (or that of a group of scholars, in our collaborative program) to experiments with placing scholars at institutions that will advance their careers. The New Faculty Fellows (NFF) program has been a remarkably effective experiment along these lines. This was always intended as a temporary measure, and it is a fairly expensive one, with a large number of fellows who all receive two-year stipends. We were delighted when the Mellon Foundation funded a second and third NFF competition and placement process. Following the careers of these fellows should tell us much about how careers are formed in this new era. Reviewing the set of applications to this program made it clear that a sub stantial “post-doc interval” is becoming a more widespread reality in the humanities. New Ph.D.s are more likely to spend a year or two—or more—as adjuncts, in formal post-doc programs, or in more tenuous circumstances. Only a relative few move directly from doctoral study to tenure-track job. We all need to better understand the dynamics of the post-doc period within the humanities. Our grant from the Mellon Foundation for the NFF program has provided funds to begin surveying this terri- tory and considering how we might identify and catalyze best practices. We will be cooperating with the Consortium of Humanities Centers and Institutes (CHCI) and with our research university consortium in doing so.

3 A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT CONTINUED

The Public Fellows program, also funded by the Mellon Foundation, extends our experiments in placing young scholars. It appoints fellows to appropriate positions in nonprofit and government agencies for a two-year period. This effort, too, has been a quick-start experiment. Hopefully, these initial appointments will in many cases eventuate in permanent jobs, and this experience will advantage all fellows in developing a vocation in the public realm beyond the academy. We also expect that this signal effort will both demonstrate the wide applicability of humanities doctoral education and help expand the academy’s conceptions of the ultimate goal of Ph.D. study.

Of course, these are not new ideas. More than a decade ago, Mellon funded studies of Ph.D. cohorts 10 years beyond the degree that found high job satisfaction and career success among those working in business, nonprofit organizations, and the government—or the “BNG” sector. The Woodrow Wilson National Foundation and the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching both argued for an affirmative inclusion of nonacademic careers in university placement efforts. Several of our societies have made the same assertion. But if we are to increase the social valuation of humanities education, it is worth exemplifying again the wide applicability of that study.

The African Humanities Program, following the model of the Humanities Program in Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine (both funded by the Carnegie Corporation of New York), seeks to build durable scholarly communities—proto-learned societies—from the networks developed out of regional peer-reviewed fellowship competitions. And, in fact, the latter program has resulted in the founding of an independent association of humanities scholars primarily in Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine. Clearly, in the future, the learned society enterprise as we know it will be increasingly globalized. At its 2010 meeting in Vancouver, the ACLS Conference of Administrative Officers (CAO) organized discussions focused on international meetings and member ship. It soon became clear that American learned societies have a global prestige that acts as a magnetic force, pulling their boundaries outward beyond our borders.

Let me return to a larger frame around ACLS and our learned societies. In the past months we’ve seen more than the usual number of conversations and conferences that take as their starting point the premise of crisis in the university in general and in the humanities in particular. There has been a rich harvest of books with the same focus. In such an atmosphere we often find a longing for the academic Eden of the mid-twentieth century. In the past 40 years, U.S. universities and colleges have deployed many expedients and adjustments aimed at getting back to the conditions of the golden age after World War II, when funding, enrollments, and public support were all on the rise. As government support has declined, tuitions have increased, and better-off parents in the United States—and, indeed, from around the world—have been willing to pay. Double-digit endowment returns have funded plant and program expansion. Increased use of contingent faculty has become a convenient, if perilous, budgetary expedient. But now many agree these strategies are exhausted.

4 We seem to be working out a new relationship between the state, society, and the university, one in which market memes dominate the discussion and higher education is conceived of more as a commodity than as a community. In this new context, the concept of education becomes interchangeable with “workforce preparation” or “training.” Much of the current policy discourse treats higher education as a private good, an agent of individual career advancement, and not, as in the past, as a public good. We believe higher education is the means by which society makes a collective investment in human capital, an investment that will bring returns to the whole society—not the least of which is the assurance that a broad swath of the population has opportunities for social mobility. This is why we should bear in mind those wise words of George Washington.

Some worry that in advocating for the humanities, we need to choose between arguing for the utility of humanistic study and making the case for its intrinsic value. But we don’t need to make such a choice. The study of the humanities provides the knowledge, analytical experience, and interpretive strategies that are important in individual and social life. Today, politics is preoccupied with the issue of debt, for in the world of finance, the past may beggar and impoverish the future. From the standpoint of the humanities, the past enriches. The wisdom and perspectives derived from the knowledge, interpretation, and appreciation of the cultural record of human creativity make us whole in the present and can carry us to the future.

A wise colleague once answered the question of why the study of the humanities is worthwhile by comparing that enterprise with astronomy. Our society invests heavily in the technology and expertise needed to see ever deeper into the skies. Why do we do so? There are many practical motives, to be sure, but the most basic reason is the simplest: we want—we need—to understand our place in the universe. And so it is with research and education in the humanities and interpretive social sciences. Our students deserve the opportunity to achieve that understanding, and our faculty colleagues deserve the research opportunities to improve the knowledge on which it is based. That is indeed a bright spot on the horizon and a grand project for our advocacy. And how else, as George Washington hoped it would, can public opinion be enlightened?

5 INTRODUCTION

The American Council of Learned Societies provides the humanities and related social sciences with leadership, opportunities for innovation, and national and international representation. ACLS was founded in 1919 to represent the United States in the Union Académique Internationale. Its mission is “the advancement of humanistic studies in all fields of the humanities and social sciences and the maintenance and strengthening of national societies dedicated to those studies.”

6 FE LLOW SHIPS

ACLS awards fellowships and grants to individuals in the humanities and related social sciences, a core component of our effort to advance humanistic scholarship. The fellowship enterprise is driven by the intellectual initiative of the individual, a manner of support distinctive to the community of humanities scholars. In 2011, the Council gave nearly $15 million in fellowship stipends and other awards to 350 scholars in the United States and abroad. ACLS’s newest programs support recent Ph.D.s as they embark on careers inside and outside the academy. The New Faculty Fellows program placed a second cohort of young scholars in two-year positions at universities and colleges across the United States, while the Public Fellows program placed its first awardees at govern ment and nonprofit agencies in an effort to exemplify the particular values that Ph.D.s bring to the public sphere.

ACL S MEMB ER S OCIETIES

The 71 learned societies that are members of ACLS are national or international organizations in the humanities and related social sciences. The newest member, the World History Association, was admitted in May 2011.

The executive directors of ACLS member societies meet as the Conference of Administrative Officers (CAO), which serves as the primary vehicle for maintaining and enhancing relationships among societies. It convenes twice each year to address the concerns of humanistic scholars, especially issues related to maintaining and improving conditions for research, education, and communication among scholars.

At the three-day fall 2010 meeting in Vancouver, programming focused on the global dimension of the societies’ work, with panels on cross-border meetings and the societies as international organizations. Additional panels discussed post-print journals, transitions in society leadership, and the CAO’s effort to broker legal and information technology services. The CAO also addressed member benefits and how, in the changing economy, societies are reconsidering their function and mission. President Yu reported on ACLS’s expanding fellowships offerings, and Jessica Irons of the National Humanities Alliance delivered news on federal legislation and funding for the humanities.

In spring 2011, the CAO met on the final day of the ACLS annual meeting in Washington, D.C. and elected a new executive committee. The group also continued discussion on brokering services and meeting operations, and Humanities E-Book directors Eileen Gardiner and Ron Musto gave a brief report on a conversion experiment and reader survey conducted to assess the viability of using scholarly monographs with www.acls.org/societies/work handheld e-readers.

8 I NTERNATIONAL SCHOL ARSHIP

ACLS has long supported scholarship internationally and promoted collaboration between academic communities in the United States and other world areas. In its third annual competition, the African Humanities Program (AHP) awarded 38 dissertation and postdoctoral grants to humanists in Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, and Uganda, bringing the total number of awards made so far to 110. The program, funded by the Carnegie Corporation of New York, also sponsored meetings in each of these countries that included presentations on new work in the humanities and workshops on writing research proposals. AHP follows the example of the Humanities Program in Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine, which was developed to ensure future leadership in the humanities in its region. That program is now administered by the International Association for the Humanities (IAH), an independent association of humanities scholars primarily in Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine founded to help represent the post-Soviet region in the international scholarly community. ACLS continues to support and collaborate with the IAH.

Other programs offering aid for the study of world areas outside the United States include the East European Studies Programs, which offer dissertation and postdoctoral fellowships as well as conference, travel, and language-training grants; American Research in the Humanities in China, which funds North American scholars for four to twelve months of research in China; and Comparative Perspectives on Chinese Culture and Society, which supports planning meetings, workshops, and conferences that adopt a cross-cultural or comparative perspective on Chinese history. The Center for Educational Exchange with Vietnam, a subsidiary organization of ACLS, admin- www.acls.org/programs/ isters and supports educational and academic exchanges between Vietnam and the international United States.

S CHOL ARLY COMMUNICATION

Since its founding, ACLS has funded major studies on scholarly communication and supported the creation of landmark scholarly publications. ACLS Humanities E-Book, an online collection of 3,300 digitized and born-digital titles, continues to grow and to experiment with new forms of digital scholarly publishing. ACLS meeting programming also addresses scholarly communication issues. At the fall 2010 CAO meeting, a panel of five representatives from libraries, publishers, and presses engaged the group in a discussion on the future of the post-print journal.

In spring of 2011, the Darwin Correspondence Project received $8.2 million in grants from the Evolution Education Trust, The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, and the Isaac Newton Trust. These awards will enable publica- tion of the entire collection by 2022. (Awards from the National Science Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities also support the project.) The Darwin Correspondence Project was founded in 1974 by Frederick H. Burkhardt, president emeritus of ACLS and general editor of the project until his death in 2007. All known letters to and from Charles Darwin will be published in an edition ultimately comprising 32 volumes. Volume 18 was released in 2010. The full texts of over 7,000 of Darwin’s letters and information on 8,000 more are available in a searchable database on the project’s website. ACLS also continues to fund ANB Online, the online component of the print American National Biography, published in 24 volumes in 1999. ANB www.acls.org/programs Online is a regularly updated resource currently offering over 18,700 biographies.

A NNUAL MEETING

The ACLS annual meeting brings together delegates and administrative officers of our member societies, representatives of institutional associates and affiliates, and friends from foundations, government agencies, and institutions and organizations across the academic and public humanities. The 2011 annual meeting was held on May 5–7 in Washington, D.C.

10 At the 2011 ACLS Annual Meeting: Above: Pauline Yu and Haskins Prize Lecturer Henry Glassie. Right: Panel on “Global Perspectives on U.S. Higher Education.”

In her 2011 report to the Council, President Yu discussed the progress of ACLS programs in the context of the financial and organizational challenges facing the academic humanities. She called special attention to the serious reductions in federal support for the humanities and the need to develop a new relationship between the state, society, and the university, one which recognizes higher education as a public good. Other program sessions addressed the effects of fiscal constraints on the academy and humanities advocacy in Washington. Thomas Bender, university professor of the humanities at New York University, moderated a panel on global perspectives on U.S. higher education that included Lisa Anderson, president, American University in Cairo; Peter Lange, provost, Duke University; and John Sexton, president, New York University. Three recent ACLS fellows spoke about their work as it exemplifies emerging themes and methods of humanities research, and National Endowment for the Humanities Chairman Jim Leach spoke on “Defending the Liberal Arts.”

Henry Glassie, college professor emeritus of folklore at Indiana University, Bloomington, delivered the 2011 Charles Homer Haskins Prize Lecture on “A Life of Learning.” Professor Glassie is recognized as one of the intellectual leaders who broadened the discipline of folklore from a study of the texts of ballads and tales into a descriptive and interpretive ethnography. His work includes studies of communities and artists in Ireland, Turkey, Bangladesh, and Nigeria. In the lecture, he honored the teachers and colleagues, including the subjects of his ethnographies, who have helped him forward his life’s mission: “to make more democratic the idea of history (of human significance) and the idea of art (of human excellence).” The www.acls.org/annual_meeting www.acls.org/pubs/haskins lecture was published as ACLS Occasional Paper No. 68 and is available in multiple www.acls.org/multimedia media on the ACLS website.

F UNDING

ACLS is funded by foundation and government grants, endowment income, annual subscriptions from university and college associates, dues from constituent societies and affiliates, and individual gifts. In 2010–2011, ACLS received over $25.4 million www.acls.org/funding from foundation and government agencies to support program activities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

Board of Directors American Council of Learned Societies New York, New York

We have audited the accompanying statements of financial position of the American Council of Learned Societies (the “Council”) as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, and the related statements of activities, functional expenses, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Council’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements enumerated above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the American Council of Learned Societies as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

42 NOTES TO FINA NCIAL STATEMENTS

American Council of Learned Societies, June 30, 2011 and 2010

NOTE A O RGANIZ ATIO N AND SIG NIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1. Organization: The American Council of Learned Societies (the “Council”), incorporated in Washington D.C. in 1924, was established in 1919, and is located in New York City. The Council is a private, not-for-profit federation of national scholarly organizations, funded largely by grants from private foundations and universities and by federal grants (principally from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the U.S. Department of State). The purpose of the Council is the advancement of humanistic studies in all fields of learning and the maintenance and strengthening of relations among the national societies devoted to such studies. The Council is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, and from state and local taxes under comparable laws.

2. Basis of accounting: The accompanying financial statements of the Council have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting and conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, as applicable to not-for-profit entities.

3. Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

4. Functional allocation of expenses: The cost of providing the various programs and supporting services has been summarized on a functional basis in the accompanying statement of activities. Accordingly, expenses have been allocated among the programs and supporting services using appropriate measurement methodologies developed by management.

5. Revenue recognition: (a) Grants and contributions are recorded as revenue at the earlier of the receipt of an unconditional pledge or the receipt of cash or other assets. Revenues are considered available for unrestricted use, unless the donors restrict the use thereof, either on a temporary or permanent basis. Revenues to be received over periods greater than one year are discounted at an appropriate interest rate. Revenue has been recognized based on the present value of the estimated future payments to be made to the Council. (b) Restricted revenue received from U.S. government agencies, foundations and corporations is initially recorded as temporarily restricted upon the receipt of cash or unconditional obligations to give. As the restrictions are met, the support is reclassified as unrestricted. Restrictions are generally met when program and administration expenses relating to the designated purpose of the particular contract, grant or award are incurred. (c) The Council receives dues from its members. Dues applicable to a current year are recognized as revenue in that year. Dues received for a future year’s membership are deferred and recognized on a pro-rata basis over the period of membership.

43 NOTES TO FINA NCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED

American Council of Learned Societies, June 30, 2011 and 2010

6. Investments: Investments in equity securities with readily determinable fair values are reported in the accompanying statements of financial position, with realized and unrealized gains and losses included in the accompanying statements of activities. The Council’s mutual funds are also reported at their fair values, as determined by the related investment manager or advisor. Donated securities are recorded at their fair values at the dates of donation. The Council has investments in certain not-readily-marketable securities which are ownership interests in private equity securities and certain limited partnerships for which market values are not readily obtainable. Because of the inherent uncertainty of the valuation of these investments, the Council and its various investment managers monitor their positions to reduce the risk of potential losses due to changes in fair values or the failure of counterparties to perform. The estimated values provided by these managers may differ from actual values had a ready market for these investments existed. Investment transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis. Realized gains or losses on investments are determined by comparison of the average cost of acquisition to proceeds at the time of disposition. The earnings from dividends and interest are recognized when earned. Investment expenses include the services of investment managers and custodians. The balances of investment management fees disclosed in Note B are those specific fees charged by the Council’s various investment managers in each fiscal year; however, they do not include those fees that are embedded in various other investment accounts and transactions.

7. Property and equipment: Property and equipment are stated at their costs at the dates of acquisition. Building improvements are also capitalized, whereas costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, which range from 5 to 30 years.

8. Deferred debt issuance costs: The cost associated with the issuance of New York City Industrial Development Agency Bonds has been capitalized and is being amortized over the life of the bonds on a straight-line basis. Amortization of deferred debt issuance was $11,677 for both fiscal years 2011 and 2010, respectively.

9. Accrued vacation: Based on their tenure, employees are entitled to be paid for unused vacation time if they leave the Council. Accordingly, the Council must report a liability for the amount that would be incurred if employees with such unused vacation were to leave. The accrued vacation obligation was approximately $216,000 and $211,000 for fiscal-years 2011 and 2010, respectively and was reported as part of accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying statements of financial position.

44 10. Net assets: The accompanying statements of activities present the changes in the various classifications of net assets for the respective fiscal-years. The Council’s net assets, and the changes therein, are classified based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions and are reported as follows: (a) Unrestricted: Unrestricted net assets represent those resources that are not subject to donor-imposed restrictions. Substantially all of the Council’s unrestricted net assets, exclusive of the amounts representing the property and equipment, have been allocated by formal resolution of the Board of Directors to board-designated endowment, the unrestricted earnings of which will be applied to future support of its central fellowship program and administrative expenses. Annually, any amount up to, but not greater than, the excess of its unrestricted revenue over expenses, including unrealized gains or losses on its entire investment portfolio, may be so designated. (b) Temporarily restricted: Temporarily restricted net assets represent those resources that are subject to the requirements of the District of Columbia’s Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act (“UPMIFA”) and the use of which has been restricted by donors to specific purposes, the passage of time, and/or state law. When a donor restriction expires, that is, when a stipulated time restriction ends, a purpose restriction is accomplished, or the assets are appropriated, temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified as unrestricted net assets and reported in the accompanying statements of activities as net assets released from restrictions. (c) Permanently restricted: Permanently restricted net assets represent those resources the principal of which is originally restricted into perpetuity by donors. The purposes for which the income and net capital appreciation arising from the underlying assets may be used depend on the wishes of those donors. Under the terms of UPMIFA, those earnings are classified as temporarily restricted in the accompanying statements of activities, pending appropriation by the Board of Directors.

11. Endowment funds: The Council reports all applicable disclosures of its funds treated as endowment, both donor- restricted and board-designated (see Note H).

12. Restatement: The June 30, 2009 net assets have been restated to properly reflect additional grants receivable of $3,648,000 not previously recorded.

13. Income tax: The Council is subject to the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Codification (“ASC”) Topic ASC 740-10-05 relating to accounting and reporting for uncertainty in income taxes. Because of the Council’s general tax-exempt status, ASC 740-10-05 has not had, and is not anticipated to have, a material impact on the Council’s financial statements.

14. Fair-value measurement: As further described in Note B, the Council reports a fair-value measurement of all applicable assets and liabilities including investments, grants and accounts receivable, and short-term payables.

15. Subsequent events: The Council considers all of the accounting treatments, and the related disclosures in the current fiscal-year’s financial statements, that may be required as the result of all events or transactions that occur after the fiscal year-end through the date of the independent auditors’ report.

The Council owns shares of a privately held, offshore company, the sole purpose of which is to be a limited partner in a limited-partnership investment vehicle. At June 30, 2011 and 2010, the investment was valued at $4,091,419 and $3,551,814, respectively. The Council’s percentage of ownership of this investment does not warrant consolidation of the financial statements of the privately held company. For each year, investment income consisted of the following:

ASC 820-10-05 establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy of fair-value measurements. These valuation techniques are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair-value hierarchy: • Level 1—Valuations are based on observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities at the reporting date. The types of investments and other assets included in Level 1 are exchange-traded debt and equity securities, short-term money- market funds, and actively traded obligations issued by the U.S. government and government agencies. • Level 2—Valuations are based on (i) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or (ii) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or (iii) pricing inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable at the reporting date. Level 2 assets include U.S. government and agency securities and corporate debt securities that are redeemable at or near the balance sheet date and for which a model was derived for valuation. • Level 3—Fair value is determined based on pricing inputs that are unobservable and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. Level 3 assets include securities in privately held companies, secured notes, private corporate bonds, and limited partnerships, the underlying investments of which could not be independently valued, or cannot be immediately redeemed at or near the fiscal year-end.

46 Most investments classified in Level 3 consist of shares or units in investment funds, as opposed to direct interests in the funds’ underlying holdings, which may be marketable. Because the net asset value reported by each fund is used as a practical expedient to estimate fair value of the Council’s interest therein, its classification in Level 3 is based on the Council’s ability to redeem its interest at or near its fiscal year-end. If the interest can be redeemed in the near term, the investment is classified as Level 2. The classification of investments in the fair-value hierarchy is not necessarily an indication of the risks, liquidity, or degree of difficulty in estimating the fair value of each investment’s underlying assets and liabilities. The following table summarizes the fair values of the Council’s assets each fiscal year-end:

NOTE F NEW YORK CITY INDUSTR IAL DEVELO PMENT AG ENCY BO NDS

To finance the acquisition of office space to be used as the Council’s place of operations, in August 2002, the Council borrowed $5,000,000 through the issuance by the New York City Industrial Development Agency (“IDA”) of Civic Facility Revenue Bonds, Series 2002 (the “Bonds”). The Bonds, in an aggregate original face amount of $5,000,000, mature on July 1, 2027 and bear interest at 5.250%. The Bonds may be redeemed by IDA or the Council at any time after July 1, 2012. The Bond indenture requires the Council to make annual sinking fund payments in amounts sufficient to permit the redemption of principal upon maturity. Sinking fund payments began on July 1, 2003 and are required every July 1 thereafter until July 1, 2027, as summarized below:

Year Ending June 30, Amount 2012 $ 160,000 2013 170,000 2014 175,000 2015 185,000 2016 195,000 Thereafter 3,020,000 $ 3,905,000

In connection with the issuance of the Bonds, the Council leased its properties to IDA for the duration of the debt, for a nominal rental, and concurrently leased the property back from IDA for the same period at a rental equal to annual debt service. The Council guarantees payment of rent under the lease agreement. Pursuant to the lease, the Council is required to maintain a Debt Service Reserve Fund. For the year ended June 30, 2011, $150,000 had been paid to the Debt Service Reserve Fund.

NOTE H ACCOUNTING AND R EPORTING FOR ENDOWMENTS

1. The endowment: The Council’s endowment was established based on its mission and consists of both donor- restricted endowment funds and funds designated by the Board of Directors to function as endowment. As required by generally accepted accounting principles, net assets associated with endowment funds, including board-designated funds, are classified and reported based on the existence or absence of donor imposed restrictions.

2. Interpretation of relevant law: The Board of Directors has interpreted the District of Columbia’s UPMIFA as requiring the preservation of the fair value of the original gift as of the date of the donor-restricted endowment funds absent explicit donor stipulations to the contrary. As a result of the interpretation, the Council classifies as permanently restricted net assets the original value of the gifts donated to the permanent endowment, the original value of gifts donated to the permanent endowment, the original value of subsequent gifts to the permanent endowment and accumulations to the permanent endowment made in accordance with the direction of the applicable donor gift instrument at the time the accumulation is added to the fund. The remaining portion of the donor- restricted endowment fund that is not classified in permanently restricted net assets is classified as temporarily restricted net assets until those amounts are appropriated for expenditure by the Council, in a manner consistent with the standard of prudence prescribed by UPMIFA.

50 In accordance with UPMIFA, the Council considers the following factors in making a determination to appropriate or accumulate donor-restricted endowment funds: • The duration and preservation of the fund; • The purpose of the organization and the donor-restricted endowment fund; • General economic conditions and the possible effect of inflation and deflation; • The expected total return from income and the appreciation of investments; and • Investment policies of the organization.

3. Endowment net-asset composition by type of fund:

5. Funds with deficiencies: Due to unfavorable market fluctuations, from time to time, the fair value of assets associated with individual donor-restricted endowment funds may decline below the historical dollar value of the donor’s original, permanently restricted contribution. Under the terms of UPMIFA, the Council has no responsibility to restore such decrease in value. 6. Return objectives and risk parameters: The Board of Directors evaluates its long-term asset allocation in meeting its fiduciary responsibilities for funding programs, protecting its endowment resources, and supporting future spending requirements. Accordingly, the Board has adopted investment policies for its endowment assets that seek to maintain their purchasing power.

7. Strategies employed for achieving objectives: To satisfy its long-term rate-of-return objectives, the Council relies on a total return strategy in which investment returns are achieved through both capital appreciation (realized and unrealized) and current yield (interest and dividends). The Council targets diversified assets, within prudent risk constraints.

8. Spending policy and relation to the spending policy: The Council has a policy of appropriating for distribution each year an average of 5% of its endowment fund’s average fair value over the prior 12 quarters through the fiscal year-end proceeding the fiscal year in which the distribution is planned. This is consistent with the Council’s objective to maintain the purchasing power of the endowment assets held in perpetuity or for a specified term, as well as to provide additional real growth through new gifts and investment return.

52 NOTE I EMPLOYEEBENEFIT PLAN

For its eligible employees, the Council provides retirement benefits under a defined-contribution, §403(b) employee-benefit plan, the assets of which are maintained through the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America-College Retirement Equities Fund. The Council contributes a minimum of 5% of each eligible employee’s salary, as well as matches employee contributions up to a maximum of 5% of each eligible employee’s salary. Contributions for fiscal-years 2011 and 2010 were $195,113 and $190,746, respectively.

NOTE J POSTRETIREMENT MEDICAL BENEFIT PLAN

The Council sponsors an unfunded, noncontributory defined-benefit postretirement medical plan that covers employees hired prior to February 1, 1995. The following sets forth the plan’s funded status, reconciled with amounts reported in the Council’s financial statements at each-year end:

June 30, 2011 June 30, 2010 Actuarial present value of benefit obligations: Expected benefit obligation $ (1,662,850) $ (1,658,274) Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation $ (1,608,153) $ (1,569,086) Plan assets 0 0 Funded status (excess of obligation over assets) $ (1,608,153 $ (1,569,086 Net periodic postretirement medical benefit costs included the following components: Service cost $ 30,568 $ 26,651 Interest cost 78,881 82,095 Transition obligation amortization 25,142 25,142 Net loss amortization 74,092 44,836 Net periodic postretirement benefit cost $ 208,683 $ 178,724 Adjustments to net assets, reported in the statement of activities: Net actuarial loss $ 12,965 $ (83,425 Unrecognized transition obligation 99,234 69,978 Funded status (excess of obligation over assets) $ 86,269 $ (13,447) Weighted-average assumptions: Discount rate 5.25 % 5.00 % Medical cost-trend rate 5.00 % 5.00 %

53 NOTES TO FINA NCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED

American Council of Learned Societies, June 30, 2011 and 2010

A one percentage-point increase in the assumed health-care cost-trend rates for each fiscal-year would have resulted in an increase in the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of June 30, 2011 of $118,356 and an increase in the aggregate cost components of net period postretirement benefit cost of $8,907. Employer contributions and benefits paid were $83,347 and $93,909 for fiscal-years 2011 and 2010, respectively. The estimated amount of the Council’s contributions for fiscal-year 2012 is $98,700. The following table illustrates the benefit distributions that would be paid over the next 10 fiscal years:

Year Ended Expected Benefit June 30, Distributions 2012 98,700 2013 97,400 2014 118,500 2015 110,600 2016 127,000 2017–2021 574,000

NOTE K CO NCENTR ATIO N O F CREDIT R ISK

The Council places its temporary cash investments with high-credit-quality financial institutions in amounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Management believes that the Council is not subject to a significant risk of loss on these accounts.

NOTE L CO NTING ENCY

U.S. government grants are subject to audit in the future by governmental authorities. Accordingly, the Council could be required to fund any disallowed costs for its own federally supported programs, as well as for the Council for the International Exchange of Scholars during the period of the Council’s stewardship. In management’s opinion, any such audits would not result in disallowed costs in amounts that would be significant to the Council’s operations. The Council is subject to litigation in the routine course of conducting business. In management’s opinion, however, there is no current litigation, the outcome of which would have a material adverse impact on the Council’s financial position.
