Total rent expense and related taxes and operating expenses under operating leases for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 was $1,545, $6,694, and $7,759, respectively. Legal Matters From time to time, the University is party to various lawsuits, claims, and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business, some of which are covered by insurance. When the University is aware of a claim or potential claim, it assesses the likelihood of any loss or exposure. If it is probable that a loss will result and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the University records a liability for the loss. If the loss is not probable or the amount of the loss cannot be reasonably estimated, the University discloses the nature of the specific claim if the likelihood of a potential loss is reasonably possible and the amount involved is material. With respect to the majority of pending litigation matters, the University’s ultimate legal and financial responsibility, if any, cannot be estimated with certainty and, in most cases, any potential losses related to those matters are not considered probable. Upon resolution of any pending legal matters, the University may incur charges in excess of presently established reserves. Management does not believe that any such charges would, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the University’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Tax Reserves, Non-Income Tax Related From time to time the University has exposure to various non-income tax related matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. At both December 31, 2017 and 2016, the University has no reserve for tax matters where its ultimate exposure is considered probable and the potential loss can be reasonably estimated.
