IRS Form 990 is open to public inspection, but how universities provide the form varies. Boston University and Stanford University provide the 990 on their web sites (Stanford’s is not included here because their fiscal year closes 2 months later, so 2010 data are not yet available). Harvard, Yale, and Princeton’s tax offices maintain this information, and supply it via email on request. At MIT, the News Office provided the form in response to a request from the tax office.
