The Trustee Audit Committee recently discussed the Attorney Generalrs Opinion No, 5042 relating to the financial records of state colleges and universities. This opinion relates to public access to financial records of colleges and universities. It was noted by the Audit Committee that the University, in fact, is currently in compliance with the thrust of this opinion in that all major financial records are made accessible to the public except those which would violate the confidential nature of individual employee and student transactions with the University. In order to provide guidance to the ad- ministration in dealing with requests for financial information from the UniversityTs records, the Audit Committee requested that the administration develop a resolution for consideration at the December 3 meeting of the Board. The administration's recommended resolution follows: The Board of Trustees of Michigan State University, pursuant to the principles embodied in Article IX, Section 23 of the Michigan Constitu- tion, recognizes an obligation to provide public access to its financial records consistent with the rights to confidentiality of its students, staff, employees and other individuals. Accordingly, it is resolved that copies of the financial report, budget, and salary schedules will be kept on file at the Reference Desk of the University Library. Any finan- cial information not contained in the above documents which is requested by the public will be provided by University administration, assuming it is obtainable and does not violate the University's obligations regarding confidentiality. ^Unanimously approved,on motion by Trustee Huff, seconded by Trustee Bruff. Resolution authorizing Vice Pres. for Bus. & Fin. to expend funds from non- budgeted accountis b. A discussion took place with the certified public accountants during the exit conference for the 1976 audit relating to the authority of the Vice President for Business and Finance to expend funds from non-budgeted accounts of the University. Expenditures are made primarily from service revolving accounts within the established personnel policies and practices, purchasing policies and practices, and external contract bidding procedures. It was recommended by the Trustee Audit Committee that the administration develop a resolution for consideration by the Board of Trustees formally granting authority to the Vice President for Business and Finance to continue these past practices. Following is the recommended resolution: The Board of Trustees of Michigan State University, for purposes of clarifying the authority of the Vice President for Business and Finance to expend funds from nonbudgeted accounts, resolves that within the established personnel policies and practices, purchasing policies and practices, external contract bidding procedures, and restrictions applicable to revolving funds, the Vice President for Business and Finance has authority to expend funds from nonbudgeted accounts for those purposes for which such accounts are established, but remains responsible for providing adequate con- trols over such accounts to protect the fiscal integrity of the University. Unanimously approved. Motion by Trustee Huff, seconded by Trustee Carrigan. President Wharton mentioned that this would be Trustee Huff's last meeting as a member of |the Board and he, several Trustees, and Vice President Cantlon thanked Mr. Huff for the Contributions he had made during the 15 years he served on the Board. kdjourned. i i • • i 9037 Committee to be established to review Univ. land holdings MINUTES OF THE EXECUTIVE SESSION of the MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY BOARD OF TRUSTEES December 3, 1976 Present: Trustees Bruff, Carrigan, Huff, Krolikowski, Martin, Stack, and Stevens; Trustee- elect Smydr a; President Wharton, Provost Boger, Executive Vice President Breslin, Vice President Wilkinson, Secretary Ballard, Vice Presidents Cantlon, Carr, Nonnamaker, Perrin, and Scott; Assistant Vice President Steve Terry. Absent: Trustee Radcliffe. The Trustees met in Executive Session in the President's Conference Room at 11:30 a.m. 1. Executive Vice President Breslin presented a report oil University land holdings (copy on file in the Secretary's Office). Mr. Breslin reviewed once again the University's interest over the years in acquiring the Box Farm. He indicated that the long series of unsuccessful attempts to resolve this matter had convinced him that the most promising way to reach some final decision would be through the establishment of a special committee of Trustees and University administrators which would address itself to this and other concerns relating to University properties with the assistance of appropriate consultants. After discussion, the following resolution was moved by Trustee Bruff, supported by Trustee Carrigan: RESOLVED that a committee of Trustees and University administrators be established for the purpose of reviewing and evaluating current University land holdings. Approved 7 to 0. Trustee Martin offered the following resolution, supported by Trustee Stevens: RESOLVED that the Board of Trustees authorizes the Executive Vice President to enter into negotiations for the possible purchase of the Box Farm. This authoriza- tion also approves the possible employment of Mr. Donald V. Whip, Jr. to assist: in the negotiations and the preparation of an offer to purchase which would be brought back to the Board of Trustees for approval. Discussion re acquisition of Box Farm Discussion on the motion revealed substantial sentiment for postponing a vote on any specific resolution relative to the Box Farm and referring that issue to the committee authorized in the previous resolution. There was substantial agreement on the need to acquire full time staff capacity to address questions relating to property acquisition, disposition, and management and that this also be considered by the committee. Accordingly the motion was withdrawn. 2. Vice Presidents Wilkinson and Carr reported on the University's insurance coverage. (Background materials are on file in the Secretary's Office). Report on Univ. insurance| coverage It was agreed to refer this matter to the Committee on Health Programs since the primary concern.is in the area of medical malpractice coverage. The committee will report its recommendations back to the Board based on the best alternatives for establishing a viable self-insurance program. Adjourned. President Secretary i t t
