On motion by Mr. Nisbet, seconded by Dr. Martin, it was voted to approve the Finance items on the preceding pages. I 2. Several of the Trustees expressed their personal appreciation to President Adams for his contributions to the University as its 13th president. Resolution commending Pres, Walter Adams A motion was made by Mr. Thompson, unanimously seconded, to present to Dr. Adams a resolution commending him for his fine contributions to the University during his tenure as Acting President. Motion carried unanimously. 3. The Report of the Committee on Undergraduate Education (the CUE Report) called for clearer University acknowledgment that undergraduate teaching was the institution's prime, though not sole, responsibility. Rewards for outstanding undergraduate teaching are most convincing in the form of salary adjustments. In view of the budget restrictions of this past year, it was impossible to grant a meaningful full year's increase. Therefore, approximately $190,000 was set aside in July for a one-time, midyear salary increase exclusively for reward of good undergraduate teaching. In many but not all departments students had an input in this selection. We have taken the total list which came arranged in order of priority by college and distributed the funds as far down the list as a significant increase would permit. The list is on file in the Secretary!s Office and made a part of these minutes. Special faculty salary increases approved On motion by Mr. Nisbet, seconded by Mr. Stevens, it was voted to approve the faculty salary increases. Trustees Huff and White voted uNo.u 4. Motion was made by Mr. Stevens, seconded by Mr. Huff, that a resolution be prepared in support of MSUfs Student Volunteer Program, which has received national recognition. Motion unanimously carried.

It was moved by Mr. Stevens, seconded by Dr. Martin, that the Executive Vice President and Secretary to the Board be reimbursed for all entertainment and other costs incurred for the benefit of the University. Motion carried. 8. At the request of Chairman Stevens and Vice Chairman Merriman, Attorney Carr submitted a legal interpretation of that portion of Article VII of the Bylaws of the Board of Trustees entitled "Communications." Mr. Carr's opinion states: i The evident purpose of the language is to establish the president as the official conduit for communications from the officers and faculty to the Board and from the Board back to the officers and faculty. Recognition is given to the probability that on occasion the Board may operate through subcommittees, but the method of contact remains the same as with the full Board. The single exception permitted by the framers is authority on the part of individual Trustees to explore a question preliminarily by direct contact with officers and/or faculty. However, the communication of official actions to or from the Board must be through the principal executive officer. On motion by Mr. Stevens, seconded by Mr. Thompson, it was unanimously voted to reaffirm the intent of the Bylaws as interpreted by Mr. Carr. A full copy of Mr. Carr!s letter to the Trustees is on file in the Secretary's Office. pr. Wharton's jsalary and other (conditions of jappointment as President kpproved Exec.

Trustee Huff requested that the University administration review the procedures by which the State of Michigan enforces its non-discrimination policy as it applies to suppliers. He also requested a report on the steps that had been taken to comply with recommendations made several years ago by the Michigan Civil Rights Commission regarding non-discrimination at the University. Pres. Act. Adams' title ch to Pres.; to assume title! Pres. Emer. upon retirement; Fee Refund policy revised eff Winter Term 1970 Motion was made by Trustee Harttnan, seconded by Mr. Stevens, that Acting President lO* Walter Adams1 title be changed to President from this date through 12:01 a.m., January 2, 1970, Michigan State University. Motion carried unanimously. at which time he shall be succeeded by Dr, Clifton R. Wharton, Jr. as President of Chairman Stevens asked that it be recorded that upon retirement from the University Walter Adams will assume the title of President Emeritus. 11. The Ad Hoc Committee on Fee Refund Policy offered the following recommendations for revision to the fee refund policy, to be effective with the Winter Term of 1970: REFUND OF FEES: If a student withdraws from the University or drops a course which reduces his total credit load, the refund policy will be: a. For changes made through the last day for adding courses, the full fees and tuition for the net credits dropped will be refunded b. c. d. For changes made after the last day for adding courses and before the middle of the term, one-half of the regular course fee-s and all of the non-resident tuition- for the net credits dropped will be refunded, i.e., the University will retain half the resident fees. For changes made after the middle of the term, no refund will be given. When students who have fixed-dollar-type scholarships drop credits which involve refunds, the refunds would be made to the student and not to the donor of the scholarship, as long as the student maintains the minimum credit level required to retain the scholarship. *Non-resident charges: Regular course fee Out-of-state tuition '••: \[-'\'-: ••'•..•' T o t al • -:: ^ • ; . v : :: :- :•.:' $13.00 per credit hour 18.00 per credit hour $31.00 per credit hour Student Aid Grant Program liberalized eff Winter Term 1970 12. The following recommendations x*ere made to liberalize the Student Aid Grant program. a. Effective Winter Term 1970, change the basis of awarding Student Aid Grants and Increase existing awards from one-third of unmet need or one-third of fees, whichever is the lesser amount, to one-half of unmet need or one-half of fees, whichever is the lesser amount. In effect, this change would result in a 50% increase in the amount of the Student Aid Grant award. b. Effective Winter Term 1970, change the intervals from $.10 to $.50 and round upward in each Instance when determining the amount of the dollar per credit hour Student Aid Grant award. This change would result in an approximate 27* increase in expenditures, or approximately $13,735. Motion was made by Mr. Huff to approve the recommendations in items 11 and 12, with, the effective date of the fee refund policy to be retroactive to Fall Term 1969. There was no second to this motion. Motion was made by Mr. Huff, seconded by Mr. Thompson, to approve the recommendations In items 11 and 12 as presented. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Huff's motion to make the revised fee refund policy effective Fall terns 1969 failed to receive a second. A. PERSONNEL CHANGES Resignations Resignations and Terminations 1.
