MINUTES OF THE MEETING of the FINANCE COMMITTEE December 16, 1965 The Finance Committee convened at Kellogg Center at 7 o'clock for breakfast. The following members were present: Messrs. Harlan, Hartman, Huff, Merriman, Nisbet, Smith, Stevens, White; President Hannah, Treasurer May and Secretary Breslin. Absent: No one 1. Communication from Mr. May: Attached is a copy of Scudder, Stevens & Clarkfs letter regarding the offer of Pennzoil Corporation to purchase United Gas Corporation stock at a price of 41. With your concurrence, I instructed Mr. Cress to sign the forms accepting Pennzoil Corporation's offer to purchase the stock. The Skinner Fund holds 100 shares of the United Gas Corporation stock which was acquired at a cost of $3,825. This stock has had less than expected growth in value and for the past year has been selling for about $35 a share. On motion by Mr. Nisbet, seconded by Mr. Harlan, it was voted to approve Item 1. 2. Request for an appropriation of $23,700 to air condition the band and choral rooms in the Music Building and to provide 7 drinking fountains. On motion by Mr. White, seconded by Mr. Harlan, it was voted to approve the above request. Mr. Hartman voted "no" on this item. 3. Communication from Mr. May: Dr. Sabine and the Admissions staff are now using the Wonders Hall Kiva and Wilson's library and auditorium continuously during the summer months for orientation clinics. These rooms do not have adequate ventilation and at times were so hot as to make their use almost impossible. A study has been made and it is estimated that it will cost $32,000 to air condition the Wilson Hall Library and auditorium, and $19,000 to air condition the Wonders Hall Kiva. I would like to recommend that the Board authorize this work to be completed prior to the 1966 summer session. If possible, the cost of the work in Wilson Hall will be charged against operating income. This will require clearance with the Trustees under our bond indenture. The cost of the Wonders Hall work will be charged to our dormitory reserve for rehabilitation of equipment. On motion by Mr. Stevens, seconded by Mr. Huff, it was voted to approve the above request. Mr. Hartman voted "no" on this request. 4.

Mr. Lee Carr is preparing a new lease which corrects the legal description and adds an additional ten acres to the plot which has been leased to the school district. On motion by Mr. White, seconded by Mr. Nisbet, it was voted to approve Item 4. 5. Communication from Mr. May: At their November meeting the Trustees accepted 90 shares of General Motors stock from Edward N. Cole for graduate students in the College of Business. In order that this stock may be sold, I will need authorization from the Board to sign the stock power. On motion by Mr. Merriman, seconded by Dr. Smith, it was voted to approve the above item.

Communication from Mr. May: On November 29 I was advised that Mr. Ivan Wright had transferred 100 shares of MA Hanna stock to the University. Since this stock was to be taken off the New York Stock Exchange on December 3, it was suggested to us that it be sold immediately. With you concurrence, I requested the New York broker to make the sale, for which we received $5,224.49. Approval of this sale is required. On motion by Mr. Nisbet, seconded by Mr. Huff, it was voted to approve the above item. I I I 5432 Investment items Finance Committee Items, continued: 7. Communication from Mr. May: December 16, 1965 At their November meeting the Trustees approved the sale of 2,164 and 44/100 shares of Monsanto Company stock. The proceeds from this sale together with other available cash were to be invested in a number of issues including 2,500 shares of Electric Storage Battery at $51 a share. Before all of the orders could be completed, the price of Electric Storage Battery had moved out of the range at which Mr. Harding wished to make a purchase. He therefore requested that we cancel the order to sell 1,564 shares of Monsanto and to buy 2,500 shares of Electric Storage Battery. In a letter dated December 9, 1965, Scudder Stevens & Clark has now recommended selling: Amount Security Approx. Price Principal Income Yield 1,564 shs. 723 shs.

Chairman Huff, the President, Secretary and Vice President May reported on budget hearings before the State Department of Administration. . Huff reported on meetings involving representatives of the Human Medicine programs of e University of Michigan, Wayne State University, and Michigan State University and the Mr the State Board of Education. After considerable discussion, on motion by Mr. Stevens, seconded by Mr. Huff, it was voted to instruct the University administration to proceed to expedite planning for the program in Human Medicine so that our medical students may complete their total medical education at as early a date as possible.

Resolution State Board of Educ. 10. The President had distributed to the Trustees copies of the complete correspondence between the President and Charles Bachman, former football coach, going back to October 28, 1954. Mr Bachman in a letter dated November 1, 1965 asked that his retirement pension be increased by dating it back to the date of his retirement in 1946 and increasing the amount of the annual pension by $1,000 per year from 1954 to the present. After considerable discussion it was voted by Mr. Huff, seconded by Dr. Smith, and voted not to japprove Mr. Bachman1s request for increased retirement compensation. 11. Following is a resolution dealing with the growth and development of higher education in Michigan. This resolution was formulated and adopted by the State Board of Education at its meeting of November 24, 1965. Because the State Board of Education has constitutional responsibility for coordination and planning, it is imperative that timely notification of plans to extend programs and services be filed with the State Board. The State Board of Education, during the current year, is reviewing budgets of the institu- tions relative to proposed new services and programs. However, in most instances, this review and recognition by the State Board is ex post facto and does not allow for sufficient time and study by the Board. Coordinated and comprehensive planning can be most effective if the State Board of Education has opportunity to study and evaluate proposed new programs con- currently with the developmental planning of the institution. Your cooperation in this regard is sincerely appreciated, suggestions relative to this matter are welcomed. Any questions, comments, or MICHIGAN STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION RESOLUTION WHEREAS, The State Board of Education has the constitutional responsibility for planning and coordinating all education, including higher education, and is required to advise the Legislature on the fiscal implications in connection therewith; and WHEREAS, The State Board of Education, in order to carry out this responsibility effectively, must have the cooperation of Michigan1s public colleges and universities in providing information about plans in the developmental stage as they relate to future needs for operating funds and capital outlays; and WHEREAS, Coordination can be most effective if institutional plans are known as far in advance as possible; therefore, be it I I I I 3433 Resolution State Board of Education Remodeling Oakland Center approved. December 16, 1965 Finance Committee Items, continued: 11. Resolution State Board of Education, continued: RESOLVED, By the State Board of Education that Michigan's state supported institutions of higher education be requested to provide the State Board of Education with institutional development plans at an early stage in their development so that these plans may be con- sidered by the State Board of Education in the context of a coordinated comprehensive approach to Michigan's higher education needs; and further, be it RESOLVED,, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the presidents of Michigan1 s state supported institutions of higher education requesting their cooperation in this coordinating effort. 12. Mr. Huff and Mr. Muelder reported on the hearing held by the State Board of Education on December 15 on a request from Western Michigan University to offer doctoral level programs in certain fields. 13. Communication from Chancellor Varner: In September of•1966 the resident feeding for our students will move from the Oakland Center to the new dormitory. This will mean that the current use of the Oakland Center will be substantially modified, and in view of this, we will need to do some considerable remodeling. Before we get into this and before we make any decisions, we need to begin thinking about expanding this facility to accommodate our rapidly growing enrollment• It is my guess that within the next two years we will be faced with the necessity of expanding the present student center and probably adding about 60,000 additional square feet of floor space. I am writing to recommend that we be authorized to appoint the architectural firm of Swanson Associates in Bloomfield Hills to begin studies for remodeling of the existing facilities and the likely expansion of the building. They did the architectural work on this building, and since they are familiar with its utility arrangement, it would seem desirable to have them study its modification and possible expansion. I must confess that we have at times been less than completely satisfied with the work of this firm, but I believe they are our best bet, particularly if we emphasize the need for outside engineering consultation. Any arrangements we make will be within the usual 5% fee structure, and we will be back to you and the Board with detailed plans before any commitment is worked out for spending money for modifications. On motion by Mr. Harlan, seconded by Mr. Huff, it was voted to approve the above item. 14. TEae proposed "Bylaws of the Board of Trustees" has been under development for many months. A committee chaired by Chairman Huff and including Attorney Carr, Vice President Muelder and Dean Combs as Secretary of the Faculty, worked through much of the summer. A copy of the final proposed draft was distributed to the Trustees in October. A draft with a substan- tial number of changes was distributed to the Trustees in November and it was agreed that this matter would be considered at the December meeting. Chairman Huff made an introductory statement followed by comments by the members of his committee. By mutual agreement, it was decided that the document would be considered page by page and such changes and amendments as are desired presented and acted upon as each page is under consideration. Numerous amendments and changes were made. On motion by Mr. Huff, seconded by Mr. Nisbet, it was unanimously voted to approve the following as the "Bylaws of the Board of Trustees of Michigan State University11 effective as of this date, December 16, 1965: BYLAWS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES of MICHIGAN STATE University Bylaws of MSU PREAMBLE Michigan. State University is the land-grant university for the State of Michigan, designated in 1863 by the Michigan Legislature to be the beneficiary of the endowment provided by the Morrill Act and supplemented by subsequent acts of the Congress of the United States. As a land-grant university, it shares with its sister univerisites the legal responsibility to provide a liberal and practical education for the agricultural and industrial classes and all others, to prepare them for the various pursuits and professions of life. This historic responsibility the Board of Trustees accepts, and to this obligation the Trustees pledge themselves, separately and collectively, and the material and human resources over which they have been given direction. The Trustees interpret this mission as being one requiring the University: To offer undergraduate and graduate education of the highest possible quality in all appropriate fields; to cherish the knowledge that is our legacy from the past; to preserve the best of our cultural, # Finance Committee Items, continued December 16, 1965 Bylaws of MSU 14. Bylaws, continued: PREAMBLE, continued social, and political heritage; to encourage meaningful research and experimentation, both to develop new knowledge and to subject our society to a full and objective study so that it may be made more nearly perfect; to be ever responsive to the increasing needs of a.dynamic and complex society, by developing and carrying on programs of public service, and to diffuse through all available media the knowledge and information that will contribute to the well-being and development of the people of our state, our nation, and the world. The present Constitution of the State of Michigan, like every other one before it, declares it to be public policy to encourage forever schools and the means of education. The Legislature, having the power of appropriation, shares the primary responsibility for implementing this policy. The Constitution confers upon the Board of Trustees the freedom, power, and responsibility to develop a free and distinguished university and to promote the welfare of mankind through teaching, research, and public service. The Board of Trustees, elected by the voters of the State and responsible to all of the people of Michigan, exercises the final authority in the government of the University, within the limits fixed by the State Constitution. In exercising its responsibility, the Board delegates to the President of the University and through him to the faculty, appropriate authority and jurisdiction over matters for which they are held accountable by the Board. These matters include educational policy and the develop- ment of a strong and efficient organization with which to accomplish the objectives of the University. In making these delegations the Board declares its unequivocal support of the established rights and privileges of the academic profession and its intent to defend them steadfastly. These rights and privileges include academic freedom and tenure, compensation and other economic benefits as liberal as the resources of the University will allow, a viable faculty organization, and responsible faculty participation in the development of academic programs and .policies. With respect to non-academic employees, the Board declares that because they carry a correlative responsibility and because their roles are indispensable to the effective operation of the University, they are entitled to compensation and conditions of employment commensurate with their responsibilities. With respect to students, the Board declares it to be its intention to provide the opportunity for each to realize his highest potential, to formulate and enforce reasonable rules governing student conduct, and to give due consideration to the opinions of students on matters related directly to their interest when they are expressed in a responsible manner. With respect to the alumni, the Board invokes their loyal support of the University and invites their advice and counsel, reminding them that the esteem of the University is constantly measured by their performance as educated men and women. I I I With respect to the people of Michigan, the Board willingly acknowledges that this University is in the final analysis their University. As a public institution, Michigan State University is obligated to serve the best interest of the people who support it as can be best determined. The Board invites the people of Michigan to support with it the time- tested principle that in the University!s unceasing quest for truth and enlightenment it must encourage the timely discussion in open forum of a wide variety of issues, some of which are bound to be controversial because they are unsettled. This principle assumes that the views expressed in such discussion are subject to critical evaluation, and that any restraints on the freedom of expression at a university must be limited to measures to protect such free inquiry and to insure that they are consistent with the preservation of an organized society in which peaceful, democratic means for changes in the social structure are readily available. Finally, the Board of Trustees holds as its special trust the historic mission of a university to create an intellectual climate that will challenge and encourage the vigorous development and courageous expression of the human mind and spirit. Specifically, the Trustees recognize that it is a primary responsibility to assure the University of the financial and other resources necessary to the successful performance of its mission. They believe that the best method of assuring that support is to interpret the University faithfully and continually to their fellow citizens, to the legislature and elected state officials, and to the federal government, and thus persuade them of the essential importance of the University's mission. To those tasks of interpretation and persuasion they are committed by their election to office, and to those tasks they pledge themselves without reservation. 1 In order to make effective the principles here declared, to achieve the stated objectives of Michigan State University, and to insure that the conduct of its own affairs will be in accord with the highest standards of educational administration, the Board of Trustees adopts these Bylaws: J Finance Committee Items; continued 14.

In all cases there shall be no conflict of interest between the activity of the faculty or staff member and the University function. Any proceeds realized from such activity may be proportioned between the Universitj^ and the faculty member where institutional time and/or facilities are involved. Rights and Responsibilities of the Faculty. The Board of Trustees, the administration, and the faculty carry out their respective responsibilities not as isolated entities, but as major and primary constituents of a total University organization and structure which remain mutually interdependent and must be supportive of each others1 purposes, functions, and obligations. It is within this context that the rights and responsibilities of the faculty are to be construed. The Constitutional authority lodged in the Board of Trustees for the administration of the University makes possible the creation of an organizational autonomy to protect faculty in the exercise of the rights of academic freedom, the most treasured values of the academic community. Upon these rights rest the unfettered pursuit and transmission of truth by the faculty who serve as the guardians, interpreters, and transmitters of a great intellectual heritage; the further enrichment of this heritage constitutes both obligation and aspiration of the academic profession.

They exist for faculty as members of a department or other academic unit, as members of a college, as members of the University, and as members of professional societies with which the respective disciplines are associated. Exercise of rights of academic freedom entails the restraints of intellec- tual integrity and of responsible action to safeguard its exercise against abuse, disrespect, or destruction. It entails tolerance for freedom of expression by others and full deliberation of issues and problems; it entails forthrightness in recognizing and in indicating when one speaks professionally as a scholar in a field of special competence and when one speaks as a private citizen; it entails mind fulness that membership in the academic community ineluctably involves identification and association with the University and that the University is adjudged by the actions, performance, good taste, and expressions of its faculty. Rights and responsibilities of faculty include the transmission and creation of knowledge, the cultivation in the student of the highest reaches of the mind and a capacity for abstract reasoning, the cultivation of a vigorous and continuing pursuit of an understanding of the universe and the encouragement of introspection of man's relation to it. To awaken in students penetrating questions on a fully examined life, on the morality inherent in the choice of values and on finding a meaningful and responsible relation to society calls for the finest talents of the faculty as teachers, scholars, and counselors. Talents and dedication of faculty are also asked for understanding and appreciation of the mores and standards by which a society seeks to sustain itself and for explorations of how through personal example and intellectual effort both students and faculty may assist mankind fulfill its noblest aspirations and highest potential. Innovation, planning, and the rendering of many recommendations and decisions required for the effective functioning of departments, colleges, and the University as a whole represent further necessary faculty contributions. The institution looks to the faculty for recommendations on faculty recruitment, promotions, and tenure; on the development of new academic programs and modification or discontinuance of old; on academic standards for admission to the several teaching and research programs; and on the articulation of needs and requirements for space, equipment, and personnel. Contributions assumed traditionally by faculty also include the cultivation of an exciting intellectual life; the preparation of professional competencies; evaluation of a student's academic performance; active participation in professional meetings; the deter- mination of membership in the respective academic profession; and the development of teaching and research programs in the many fields of knowledge of concern to the University, including the pursuit of advances in the arts and letters, the physical and biological sciences, government, and social and economic behavior. The primacy of the faculty's role, functions, and responsibilities and its essentiality are further reflected in participation in the governing entities established for the several levels of jaculty organization, in serving as needed on department, college, and University committees, and in rendering indispensable services associated with the University's many commitments and requirements within the academic community, within the state, the nation, and the world. The core of the University's purpose, its intellectual content and integrity, is expressed by the faculty. In concert with the administration and accountable through the President to the Board of Trustees, the faculty are responsible for the continuous development of a University dedicated to the highest academic goals and responsive to the needs of society. \ ARTICLE VIII The Board and Student Relations The Board encourages and supports the faculty in the development of educational and other programs within available resources, designed to secure the realization of the highest potential of every student. Upon the recommendation of the President the Board may determine and establish the qualifications of students for admission at any level, or readmission to the University, and fix the amount of fees to be charged for attendance at the University. It shall be the policy of the Board to provide equal educational opportunity to all qualified students from the State of Michigan, and insofar as facilities, faculty, and accommodations permit, a reasonable number from other states and other countries. There shall be no discrimination based on race, color, sex, or creed. No discrimination shall be allowed in University housing or in the University-supervised off-campus housing. No fraternity, sorority, student organization or club may exist on any campus of Michigan State University if it operates under a constitution that discriminates against potential members on the basis of race, color, national origin or ancestry. The Board may make or may delegate through the President to the faculty the authority to make reasonable rules and regulations for the purpose of maintaining the health, safety, good order, harmony, and discipline of students, which are not purely arbitrary or in • • Finance Committee Items, continued 14.

Students who fail to comply wit^ these regulations may be disciplined in such a manner as may be determined by the faculty or the Board. It is the policy of the Board that the President shall develop a program, structured along the fundamentals of basic due process, for the hearing and resolving of important significant, ^and serious student complaints. ARTICLE IX Courses of Instruction and Degrees The Board delegates to the President and through him to the faculty authority to establish and regulate courses of instruction and programs of research and service, subject to a report and accountability to the Board for information, discussion, and appropriate action. Students who complete prescribed courses of study may be granted such baccalaureate and graduate and professional degrees and diplomas as are appropriate. I Honorary degrees may be awarded in recognition of distinguished accomplishment and service within the scope of the arts and letters, sciences and the professions, and public service recognized and promoted by the University. No honorary degree may be granted except upon the recommendation of the President and faculty, or an agency representing it. Generally such honorary degrees may not be granted in absentia. No person shall be recommended for an honorary degree while an officer, faculty member, or other employee of the University. ARTICLE X Financial Responsibility The Board of Trustees, being constitutionally vested with the general supervision of Michigan State University and the control and direction of all its funds, recognizes a vital and crucial institutional responsibility to those with whom it has financial trans- actions. Accordingly, it is the policy of the Board to maintain adequate income and reserves to assure payment of principal and interest on the due date of its obligations. To the end that the,financial integrity of the University shall always remain inviolate, the Board of Trustees pledges that it will maintain constant vigil over its funds through regular review and periodic reports, and such adjustments in income and reserves as shall guarantee the probity of its obligations. Funds earmarked for payment of bonded self- liquidating projects and term loan agreements are duly pledged for the specific pledge of the indenture. No intrusion upon this commitment, from any source or for any reason, will be tolerated. To reinforce the perpetuity of this commitment, the.Board may establish a separate and independent building corporation empowered to allocate funds for construction requirements. - The Board of Trustees is concerned that maximum value be obtained for funds expended to procure goods and services. Whenever possible, competitive quotations will be secured from two or more suppliers and purchase orders will be awarded on the basis of lowest cost consistent with acceptable quality.
