OTHER ITEMS 1* The following resolution recommending autonomy for Oakland University was presented by Chairman Stevens. The Board of Trustees of Michigan State University having considered the petition of the Academic Senate of Oakland University, praying appropriate action to enable said institution to become an independent member of the system of state colleges and universities; and The Board of Trustees of Michigan State University, by its Resolution dated December 12, 1969 having evidenced tentative consensus regarding the long range aspira tions of Oakland University; and The Board of Trustees of Michigan State University having examined recommendations of its committee charged with the study and review of said request for institutional independence; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: ^> I 1. That autonomy for Oakland University is sanctioned and endorsed by the Board of Trustees of Michigan State University upon effective date of legislation establishing Oakland University as a state institution of higher education. ^ 2. That the officers of Michigan State University are authorized and directed to execute those documents required to implement such separation. Motion was made by Mr. Stevens, seconded by Mr. Thompson, to approve the above resolution. In the discussion that followed, Trustee Huff asked that provision be made for the Board to act on certain legal and financial matters that will be developed or come to the surface as this endeavor is carried out. To provide for this action, President Wharton offered the following rewording of item 2: 2. That the officers of Michigan State University will return to the Board of Trustees with their proposals on the legal and financial aspects of the separation prior to formal execution or action. Trustees Stevens and Thompson approved the inclusion of this change in their motion. Trustee Hartman moved, seconded by Trustee White, that the words "on or after January 1, 1971".be added to the first provision of this resolution. This amendment failed, with Trustees Hartman, Huff, and White voting "Yes," and Trustees Merriman, Martin, Nisbet, Stevens, and Thompson voting "No.'1' The original motion, with the amendment to provision 2, carried by a vote of 5 to 3.

The President discussed his recommendations relative to the Presidential Commission on Admissions and Student Body Composition. Early visits by the President with key persons in the Michigan State University community indicated major concerns and differing views regarding current policies on admission and -the composition of the student body. Given the fundamental importance of these policies to the entire future of the University, it was proposed that a Presidential Commission be created composed of representatives of the major interest groups in order to assess current policies and to make recommendations on future policies. . >•;••• :.. -: •-"::••';' •• -: •"';•/'" 1 Administrative jpolicies for jsponsored jresearch [approved ^Presidential commission on Admis sIons and Student Body Composition established | "•' '-\ The proposal for the establishment of the commission and its terms of reference was previously distributed to the Trustees and is on file in the Secretary's Office and made a part of these minutes. The proposal has been reviewed by various j administrative groups within the University, most recently by the Academic Council. | At the request of one Trustee, the specific question of the one-year timetable was ! raised at the Academic Council, but the reaction to a shorter timetable was negative, j The reasons for adhering to the present timetable was the complexity and difficulty j of the subject and the fact that the earliest entering class which could be affected j in any event would be the September 1971 group. J j On motion by Mr. Stevens, seconded by Dr. Martin, it was unanimously voted to approve the . j Proposal for the Establishment of a Presidential Commission on Admissions and Student Body!

Recognition of MSU Alumnae, continued March 20, 1970 At each June commencement Michigan State University has honored outstanding alumni by granting Distinguished Alumni Awards.
