Barb Kranz, Assistant Director, Office of Planning and Budget, said that Morrill Hall was built in 1900. It is a wood structure that has shown deterioration over time. The building was constructed to hold 40 pounds per square foot; however, to use the space for offices or classrooms, the building should hold 80 pounds per square foot. The cost of retaining the building would be approximately twice the amount of new construction for a facility of a similar size and function. Provost Wilcox noted that this project offers the opportunity to conduct financial, aesthetic, and programmatic discussions with the users of the building regarding its new location. THE BOARD VOTED to approve the recommendation. Board of Trustees Minutes 09.12.08 7 E.

Housing and Food Service Strategic Plan Presentation Vennie Gore, Assistant Vice President, Housing and Food Service, stated that he wanted to review the strategic planning process, which represents a collaborative effort between the Offices of Housing and Food Services and Residence Life. The premise for the strategic plan was to work to bring an alignment of people, purpose, and facilities. Board of Trustees Minutes 09.12.08 Mr. Gore stated that the specific goals of the strategic plan included defining and enhancing the student experience, both academically and socially, through the vibrant renewal of MSU facilities, by recognizing the student lifestyle, and creating a transformative world model for residence living. He highlighted the commitment to improving the rate of students living on campus, taking a progressive approach to renovations, and addressing the national trends that will make MSU the top residential campus in the country. Revocation of Robert Mugabe's Honorary Degree President Simon presented the MSU Board of Trustees Resolution. (Appendix C) Trustee Nugent moved to approve the resolution, with support from Trustee Owen. Trustee Ferguson stated that MSU should make certain that the degrees bestowed upon individuals hold their value. Under President Simon's leadership and with the support of the students, this is an appropriate decision. Vice President Gray noted that the matter was reviewed by the Honorary Degree Committee. The decision was not based on other universities revoking Mr. Mugabe's degrees. It was, instead, based on a thorough evaluation by the Committee of the persistent human rights violations by Mr. Mugabe. Michael Webber, Student Liaison to the Board, said that Mr. Mugabe had great potential in Africa at one time. He was an advocate of education in his country and across Africa. Mr. Mugabe was described as a beacon of hope in a country that was struggling to develop. In 1990, MSU awarded him an honorary degree of Doctor of Laws. Since that time, much has changed. Mr. Mugabe has become a brutal dictator. The actions of Mr. Mugabe violate the principles pursuant to which MSU granted him the degree. Mr. Webber thanked the Board for taking action on this issue. Christopher Kuleszka, Student Liaison to the Board, stated that the Associated Students of Michigan State University (ASMSU) Academic Assembly first discussed the issue in 2005. It passed a Resolution was passed at that time asking that the honorary degree awarded to Mr. Mugabe be revoked. Two years ago, the Student Assembly again voted for revocation. Mr. Kuleszka applauded the Board for taking action on the Issue. Board of Trustees Minutes 09.12.08 President Simon explained that this is a very difficult resolution, not because there is any disagreement about the horrific behavior of Mr. Mugabe, but because of the question of how one deals with revoking a degree, whether given in honor or earned. The post-graduation actions of individuals who have earned degrees at MSU are not a basis for revoking those degrees, however atrocious those actions might be. An honorary degree, however, is awarded based on an individual's actions. Mr. Mugabe's actions were applauded by the world at the time he was awarded the honorary degree from MSU. President Simon noted that this action is unique in MSU's history. It is not something that should be replicated because we disagree with or dislike individual actions undertaken by an honorary degree recipient. This is a very difficult, but proper and important, statement from MSU. Dr. James Potchen, Faculty Liaison to the Board, indicated that the faculty fully supported the resolution. President Simon noted that Trustee Romney previously indicated his support of the resolution to Secretary Beekman. THE BOARD VOTED to approve the resolution. 13. Trustees Comments Trustee Ferguson stated that he enjoyed the research presentation and thanked all of Team MSU for its efforts. Trustee Owen introduced Dr. Smucker, Dr. Largent, Dr. Moriarty, Dr. Spiro, and Dr. Potchen as the Faculty Liaisons to the Board. She asked Dr. Largent to speak about recruiting and retaining faculty at MSU. Dr. Largent said that he is an untenured Assistant Professor in James Madison College. He noted that as a single parent, much of his success at MSU is dependent on the University's provision for childcare through the Spartan Child Development Center. Its link to MSU allows it to conform to the MSU school year. The Spartan Child Development Center also provides research opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students and valuable work experience for students. It is, however, too small to accommodate the demand for childcare. At any time over 100 families are on the waiting list, with a typical wait of one year. Forty percent of the people on the wait list are untenured faculty members. Providing child care options for faculty, staff, and students is crucial to faculty recruiting and retention at MSU. Board of Trustees Minutes 09.12.08 Trustee Nugent said that he was very pleased that Munson Medical Center was partnering with MSU. He noted that many MSU events take place over the summer and thanked Trustee Perles for inviting him to the annual parade in Pentwater. The parade involves many MSU alumni and is a wonderful event. Trustee Nugent applauded the College of Music for its performance in San Francisco. Trustee Foster stated that the Board had a tour of the Skandalaris Football It is a magnificent facility and is arguably the finest technology Center. driven football facility in the country. She thanked the Skandalaris and Demmer families for making the facility possible. Trustee Foster introduced Maweza Razzaq as the new Student Liaison to the Board. 14. Public Participation on Issues Not Germane to the Agenda Mr. Michael Webber, Student Liaison to the Board, said that iVote is a free voter registration event open to all undergraduate students. It is expected that as many as 9,000 students will attend. The event is scheduled for September 25, at the Breslin Center. Mr. Webber stated that a number of registered student groups will be competing to register students to vote. B. FOlA Process Dr. Thomas Woods, East Lansing resident, said that MSU is an outstanding institution that has positively impacted thousands of lives. It is also an institution that should abide by integrity and openness in its operations. Dr. Woods said that he expects this openness, integrity, and honesty with regards to the Michigan FOlA process. He indicated that the public should not be obstructed while seeking to obtain information. Dr. Woods stated that his experience with the FOlA process at MSU has fallen short of his expectations. Dr. Woods asked that the Board investigate the operations of the FOlA office. C. Proposal to Alter Academic Year Ms. Sandte Lebren Stanley, member of the University Committee on Student Affairs, said she has reservations regarding the proposal to change the academic calendar. Ms. Stanley stated that adequate time had not been given to address the issues surrounding a decision of this magnitude. Many students have only just heard of the proposal. Ms. Stanley indicated that the students should be allowed to collect data regarding how the academic Board of Trustees Minutes 09.12.08 13 calendars at MSU's peer institutions are scheduled. She said that it is her belief that the proposal bears further investigation. 15.

The MSU entering class and transfer enrollment total approximately 8,835 students, a slight increase from the prior year. Undergraduate and Graduate Students The proportion of female students to total undergraduate enrollment is expected to remain constant at approximately 53 percent. The resident proportion of total undergraduates is approximately 86 percent. Preliminary Enrollment Report Page 2. Total undergraduate enrollment is projected at approximately 36,360, an increase of 288 students from the prior year. This increase is attributable to both the impact of the recent class and previous classes. Further, the upturn in undergraduate enrollment is influenced by increased retention of students previously enrolled. At the graduate level, there are approximately 2,145 new students, including Lifelong Graduate students, Graduate Certificate students and Post-Doctoral students. This is an increase from previous years. New graduate-professional enrollment totals approximately 475 students, which is consistent with the enrollment plan for the medical schools. Total graduate enrollment, including graduate professional students, is expected to approximate 10,240 students, almost 267 students greater than the previous year's total of 9,973. University This year's undergraduate entering class is anticipated to include 1,200 students of color, approximately 17.7 percent of the domestic total. The percentage has ranged from 17 to 21 in the past 10 years. Total university enrollment for students of color is estimated at 7,400 students or 17.6 percent of the domestic student body total. The enrollment mix between undergraduate, graduate and graduate professional students remains constant at 78.0 percent, 18.1 percent, and 3.9 percent, respectively. It is anticipated that the colleges of Social Science, Natural Science and Broad College of Business will have the largest enrollments at the official enrollment count date. The MSU College of Law new fall enrollment (full and part time) totals 310 students. Total enrollment is projected at 947 students, a decrease of approximately 47 students from the previous year's total of 994. Regular enrollment data will be provided following the official count at the end of September. TABLE OF CONTENTS 2. Table of Contents 3. Fall Semester Enrollment Trend 4.
