It is recommended that the Trustees authorize a change in our retirement program covering only AP Pr o v a^ °* change xn retirement academic employees to make it conform to the policy in effect at the University of Michigan. It is proposed that effective January 1, 1962, all faculty members will be entitled to a year ^^ e m# of consultantship at age £f)> receiving full salary until age 70 at which time they •will re- ceive their regular retirement income. Sabbatical leaves will not be granted to faculty members after the age of 63. If the Board, approves this change in policy, no publicity will be given to it until after a study has been completed of all faculty members now retired prior to age 69 so that some consideration can be given to equitable treatment for those now retired who under the new policy would have been entitled to serve for a longer period. It is anticipated that we will continue to follow the present procedure of relieving administrative officials of adminis- trative responsibility after the age of 65 unless specific exceptions are made by the Board .of Trustees. Administrative personnel will be given new assignments after the age of 65 to retirement age. :| | This new policy is not to make any change in the 65-year mandatory retirement for all labor and classified employees.

Secretary Breslin reported on developments in the legislature of interest to Michigan State ; University• The following resolution was presented: Approval of Resolution to be sent to Legislature I I . I ; j \ "WHEREAS, the proposed appropriations by the Legislature for the operations of Michigan State University in the 1961-62 fiscal year are totally unrealistic and inadequate in that they bear no reasonable relationship to the demonstrated needs of the University, and WHEREAS, Michigan State University has already accepted 8,710. fully qualified applicants for admission in September 1961, indicating that enrollments "Will be increased by 2,835 over the current year, and WHEREAS, Michigan State University has already curtailed purchases of needed books and scientific equipment, reduced the number of teachers on its faculty, more than doubled fees charged to students in recent years, putting them at levels among the highest at any land-grant university, foregoing adequate increases in salaries for members of the faculty and other professionals on its staff, is undertaking a major reorganization to improve the efficiency of its operations, and thus indicated its'willingness to manage its affairs on a frugal and economical basis, and I WHEREAS*, universities in other states -with -which Michigan State University must compete for teachers and research workers have made substantial increases in salaries for such persons and have provided for additional increases in the coining bienniinn, and WHEREAS, the urgent demands of the world situation are for an increase in the dis- covery of new knowledge, improved application of that knowledge to human problems, and an expended opportunity for capable young people to acquire educations of high quality, and WHEREAS, the levels of appropriations proposed for Michigan State University provide for no improvement in programs, salary schedules, or facilities, but rather threaten the quality of the academic programs at the University, and "WHEREAS, in failing to authorize any new construction, the Legislature ignores the obvious need for timely provision of classrooms and laboratories with which to serve the mounting numbers of qualified students and the legitimate minimum requirements of highly-qualified scientists and scholars on our faculty, and WHEREAS, the Trustees are convinced that it is their duty as, state officials elected by the people at large to safeguard the quality of the educational programs at Michigan State University as being essential to the best interests and security of the State and nation, and WHEREAS, it is the Trustees? belief that the people of Michigan would not knowingly vote to lower the quality of the education available to their young people at their public colleges and universities, or be content with an educational system inferior to that of neighboring states, but would prefer to continue paying the so-called "nuisance taxes,TT therefore be it RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees appeals to the Governor and to the Legislature to direct their best efforts and wisdom to the resolution of the crisis with which Michigan State University and the other public-assisted colleges and universities are confronted, and be it further RESOLVED, that the indirect proposal of the Legislature that fees assessed against Michigan students be increased to provide the needed revenue be firmly rejected as inequitable and a repudiation of the fundamental philosophy of public edu- cation, and be it further RESOLVED, that the Board reaffirm its responsibility to consider the best interests of Michigan State University and of Michigan State University-Oakland as one, and resist all efforts to benefit one at the expense of the other, and be it further RESOLVED, that it be called to the public attention that if the Legislature fails to increase appropriations above the levels now proposed, the Board of Erus- tees will have no alternative but to consider lines of action which would sharply curtail the services now being provided by Michigan State University, such as the abolition of entire service and research agencies within the insti- tution and the imposition of arbitrary limits on enrolments, and be it further RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees reassert its conviction that prudence and the concepts of good government dictate that the State of Michigan should under- take without further waste of precious time a long-range, continuing program i j j I ' I ; ; I I 1 j NEW' BOSINESS, continued Miscellaneous, continued IT* Resolution, continued: April 27> 1961 of capital construction designed both to relieve the pathetic inadequacies of our facilities in many important areas and to enable this University to keep pace with the rapid growth of knowledge and developments in science and technology, and be it further Resolution sent to Legis- lature • RESOLVED, that a paramount consideration must be the protection of the quality of the on-caznpus educational programs of Michigan State University if the Board of 'Trustees is to be faithful to its trust, and be it further RESOLVED, that in the considered opinion of the Board of Trustees the failure of the Legislature to consider the demonstrable needs of Michigan State Uni- versity, to appropriate funds sufficient to satisfy those needs, and to inaugurate a comprehensive construction program confronts the University with an emergency of a most serious nature which cannot but have a perma- nent adverse effect upon the University, its students and faculty, and finally upon the people of Michigan. j ; ; ; On motion by Mr. Merriman, seconded by Mr. Huff, it was unanimously voted to approve the above Resolution. ~ * I . . ^ ^ 2 - , ?^ plained Bldg. 18.
