Finance Items, Michigan State University-Oakland 1. Communication from Chancellor Varner: During the past several weeks, we have been conducting a careful study of the enrollment probabilities for the third semester and the cost problems which such an enrollment would create. We are now ready to make a firm recommendation for this operation. During the January 1 enrollment, we asked all students to fill out a questionnaire indicating their plans for the third semester. We asked them to tell us whether they (a) definitely would attend the third semester, (b) probably would attend, or (c) definitely would not attend. We also asked them to indicate the exact courses which they would plan to take if they did enroll. On the basis of these questionnaires, we have leared that 377 students "definitely plan to attend" and take 1,036 courses. This would mean a full -time equivalent load of about 260 students. If we include those who say they "probably will attend," then the head count figure jumps to 5^3 an& the course count to 1,26U. This would give us a full-time equivalent load of 3l6. Of those surveyed, only 169 said they definitely did not plan to enroll, while 220 gave no response at all. We are making our plans on what seems to be a fairly conservative base—assuming that only those saying they definitely plan to attend will actually enroll. On this basis, we anticipate the fee income will amount to $46,620 (this calculated on an average of &4-5 per course). Our anticipated expenses for operating the third semester will amount to $6l,300— with $20,230 of this chargeable to the 1962-63 budget year. In the light of this, we should like to make this proposal: a. That we be authorized to announce to our students immediately that there will be a third semester operation, b. That we ask for no deficiency appropriation to support this operation, and c. That we plead with the Legislature to include in our 1962-63 appropriation an added amount of approximately $20,000 to cover that part of our third semester operation which will actually fall into the next fiscal year. If there is any significant change in terms of increased enrollments, this will tend to reduce the deficiency since we can add more students to the courses established. Since we need to identify faculty members immediately for the third semester and since the students are eager to get some formal announcement on this question, I would hope this could be approved at an early date. On motion by Mr. Harlan, seconded by Mr. Merriman, it was voted to approve the above Michigan State University-Oakland Finance Item. The Board adjourned at 12:15 p.m. The next meeting will be held March 30, 1962. X X X XX X X X X X, • There was: no meeting of the Board of Trustees in March 1962 -X--X-X XX X XX X I Secretary
