Investment Items a. Scudder, Stevens & Clark Transactions Following policies adopted by the Board of Trustees, Scudder, Stevens & Clark completed investment transactions as reported in their tabulations dated March 14, 1978 (copy on file in the Secretary's Office). RESOLVED that the Scudder, Stevens & Clark investment report be accepted. Approved by a vote of 6 to 0 on motion by Trustee Radcliffe, seconded by Trustee Krolikowski. Trustee Carrigan-Strickland was not in the room at the time the vote was taken. b. Report of the Trustee Investment Committee In administering the investment of the daily cash balances, the objective is to maximize interest income by keeping these balances invested at all times in high- grade financial instruments. To assure adequate liquidity, the primary emphasis is on short-term securities such as (1) obligations of the United States of America, (2) obligations of commercial banks or bank holding companies which include certificates of deposit, bankers acceptances, commercial paper and notes, and (3) obligations of corporations which include commercial paper and notes. The Board of Trustees periodically approves policies for the investment of these daily cash balances. The Common Fund for Short-Term Investments is an organization which manages cash pool investments for educational institutions. It was organized by The Common Fund, which performs a similar service for educational endowments and with which Michigan State University has invested funds since 1972. Their objective to maxi- mize total return is based on gauging the trend of interest rates, with the average portfolio maturity being lengthened in anticipation of declining rates and rising security prices, or shortening the average maturity when rising rates and falling prices are expected. These are occasions when The Common Fund rate is higher than that which can be obtained elsewhere by the University, particularly when very short maturities (less than 30 days) are involved. Upon the recommendation of the administrative staff, the Trustee Investment Com- mittee recommends that an appropriate resolution be prepared and executed to allow Michigan State University to participate in The Common Fund as another short-term investment vehicle when it would be to the Universityfs advantage because of market conditions. RESOLVED that the University join The Common Fund for Short-Term investments as recommended. Approved by a vote of 6 to 0 on motion by Trustee Stevens, seconded by Trustee Radcliffe. Trustee Carrigan Strickland was not in the room at the time the vote was taken. i • I" 1 i i K354* Other Items for Action Budget Adjust- ments to Alteration Projects D. OTHER ITEMS FOR ACTION, cent. April 27-28, 1978 2* Budget Adjustments to Alteration Projects Following is a report of budget adjustments to alteration projects previously approved by the Board of Trustees: a* Clothes Dryers for Dormitory Buildings At its June 24, 1977 meeting, the Board of Trustees approved the installation of clothes dryers for various dormitory buildings at a total budget of $49,500, This project has subsequently been modified to include the installation of two steam traps rather than one which was in the original bid specifications. The project cost will increase by $10,500 for a revised budget of $60,000. This project has been funded out of auxiliary funds. i b. Cyclotron Building Addition Also approved at the June 24, 1977 meeting was the addition to the Cyclotron Building for a total project cost of $313,789. The University was unable to purchase matching brick for the exterior of the building and, consequently, chose to install limestone panels. This change cost an additional $36,000 for a revised construction budget of $349,789. This project has been funded from the General Fund. RESOLVED that the above revised construction reports be accepted. Unanimously approved on motion by Trustee Carrigan-Strickland, seconded by Trustee Stevens. 3. East Lansing Public School System Since 1947 the University and the East Lansing Public School System have entered into various agreements under which the University reimbursed the School System for a share of the operating costs for K-12 students living in University housing. Representa- tives of the School System and the University are currently reviewing this relationship with the intent of recommending a new agreement. Until this action has been finalized, it is recommended for the 1977'-78 school year that the fees paid by the University be approximately the same percentage as paid for the 1976-77 school year, i.e., 18% for elementary and 43% for secondary. This cost will be approximately $479 at the elementary level and $897 at the secondary level, for a total fee of approximately $331,809. This compares to an actual fee of $297,334 for 1976-77. In addition, the University reimburses the City of East Lansing $15,000 for a special language teacher and approximately $14,000 for transportation costs. RESOLVED that the above fee be paid as recommended. Unanimously approved on motion by Trustee Bruff, seconded by Trustee Stevens. 4. Institute for Water Research The staff of the Institute for Water Research, the deans of the College of Natural Science and the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, the Directors of the Agricultural Experiment Station and the Cooperative Extension Service, as well as the Vice President for Research and Graduate Studies recommend the Institute be moved from the Office of the Vice President for Research and Graduate Studies to report jointly through the College of Natural Science and the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources. RESOLVED that effective July 1, 1978 the Institute for Water Research will report jointly through the College of Natural Science and the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources. Unanimously approved on motion by Trustee Bruff, seconded by Trustee Carrigan-Strickland. 5. Avon Players Lease It is the recommendation of the Land and Physical Facilities Committee that the present lease with the Avon Players of Rochester, Michigan, on the 2.4 acre parking lot located at Washington Road, Stoney Creek Village, be extended for as long as the organization remains in existence. RESOLVED that the above recommendation be approved. Unanimously approved on motion by Trustee Martin, seconded by Trustee Bruff. 6. Chemistry Allocation The Department of Chemistry has encountered exceptionally heavy cost increases on the purchase of chemicals and supplies this year. Since this department did not receive an increase in its supplies and services account to offset the heavy inflationary increase in costs, we are recommending that funds be added for the current year to meet these necessary costs. RESOLVED that the Department of Chemistry be allocated $58,000 additional funds to meet extraordinary costs in their Supplies and Services account. Approved by a vote of 6 to 0 on motion by Trustee Bruff, seconded by Trustee Carrigan- Strickland. Trustee Radcliffe was out of the room at the time the vote was taken.

Board Committee Reports Audit Committee Trustee Stack reported that in its morning meeting the Committee heard a report from Ernst & Ernst regarding plans for the audit for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1978. Health Programs Committee Trustee Stack also reported that at its meeting, the Health Programs Committee had an extensive discussion with the deans of the Colleges of Human, Veterinary, and Osteo- pathic Medicine regarding their residency, postgraduate and continuing education programs. A joint meeting of the Audit and Health Programs Committees will be scheduled to discuss mutual concerns about campus health programs and facilities. Investment Committee Trustee Krolikowski reported that the Investment Committee received a report from the investment performance consultants, Callan & Associates, at its April 27 meeting. Another meeting with the consultants to outline the scope of their evaluation is scheduled in conjunction with the May Board meeting. The Committee reviewed the exercise of the University proxies with respect to South African share holder proposals and all of the proposals were voted consistent with the resolution adopted by the Board at its March meeting. j The Committee received Scudder, Stevens & Clark's recommendations for investments. The Committee will study these recommendations and respond to Scudder, Stevens at the j j next meeting. A review of the Retirement Program funding has been initiated and recommendations regarding this matter will be presented for action at a later Board meeting. The Committee is planning a meeting at Hidden Lake Gardens to which all Board members will be invited. The Investment Committee received a preliminary report from the University Committee on Academic Environment, the group charged with submitting proposals for implementing the resolution on investment in firms doing business in South Africa. A substantive report will be available at the May Board meeting. Other Reports Association of Governing Board Meeting Other Reports Assoc. of Gov. Boards Meeting Trustee Carrigan-Strickland informed the Trustees that she is sending them a memo- randum covering her attendance at the recent Association of Governing Boards meeting in San Francisco, particularly that portion of the meeting relating to the preliminary report of the AGB study on presidential selection. She also reported that she and several other women participants had spoken to the AGB president regarding the possibility of moving the fall 1978 and spring 1979 AGB meet- ings from Chicago and Miami to locations in states that have ratified the Equal Rights Amendment. They were informed that it is probably too late to move either of these meetings. It was agreed that Trustee Carrigan-Strickland will draft a resolution for action at the May Board meeting requesting the AGB not to hold conventions in states that have not ratified the Equal Rights Amendment. It i Trustee Martin, who also attended the AGB meeting, added his observations regarding the session on presidential selection and the breakfast for black trustees.
