RESOLUTION OPPOSING PROPOSED TAX AMENDMENTS E, H AND J Proposed Tax Amendments E, H and J WHEREAS, the levels of taxation, inflation and other economic ailments have justifiably caused grave public concern among most citizens and particular hardship among members of the lower and middle-income groups; and WHEREAS, this concern has been manifested in many parts of the country by citizen reaction against existing tax structures and by the adoption or consideration of various tax relief measures to the point where tax alternatives have become the dominant issue in the current election campaign; and WHEREAS, Michigan voters are considering three separate proposals on the November 7 ballot that would alter the Michigan Constitution and dramatically change the public taxing, revenue and expenditure practices of the state; and WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees, as a Constitutional' body with governance responsibility over the state's largest institution of higher education, Michigan State University, has the responsibility to carefully consider any measures that could affect the fiscal integrity of the University and its vital tax assistance through state appropriations; and WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees has given careful scrutiny to the three proposals — Proposal "E," the !lHeadleeff amendment; Proposal "H," the "Voucher Plan," and Proposal "J," the "Tisch" amendment — and has found that despite their surface appeal to the hard-pressed taxpayer, they would not provide genuine, constructive and lasting tax reform; and WHEREAS, the "Headlee Amendment" would set arbitrary limitations on the growth of state revenues without consideration of future services that may be required by the people, would provide no actual tax relief to citizens, and would reduce the accountability of the state's legislators to meet the needs of the citizens; and WHEREAS, the "Voucher Plan" would have a far-reaching and erosive effect on the fundamental system of public support of public education by draining away state tax funds that are crucial to the continued health of Michigan's remarkable system of public education, while also raising serious and unanswered constitutional questions; and WHEREAS, the "Tisch Amendment" would reduce the property tax while authorizing a local income tax and increases in the state income tax, thus providing an illusion of tax reduction or reform while actually shifting and in some cases increasing tax burdens; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees of Michigan State University opposes the three tax proposals on the November 7 ballot as not being in the best interests of either responsible tax reform or of public education in the state of Michigan; and be it continued - -- iii i 01 ft Other Items for Action C< Proposed Tax M< Amendments E, P< H and J, cont.

The committee accepted the Administration's recommendations with the understanding that policies and pro cedures for implementing the recommendations would be submitted to the committee arid, if accepted, to the Board. The question of investments in firms doing business in South Africa was also dis cussed and the Administration was requested to gather information on alternate investments. b. All-University Presidential Search and Selection Committee Trustee Bruff reported that it is expected the list of recommended candidates will be submitted to the Trustees on or before December 1, 1978. It was agreed that as a continuation of the policy of including Trustees-elect in Board discussions prior to the effective date of their assuming office, this year's successful candidates will be extended the privilege of participation in presidential selection discussions and 'interviews.1 In closing this discussion, President Harden made the following statement: "...The most important decision this Board of Trustees will ever make, in my judgment, is the selection of a new president and then, having selected him, support him until you can't support him and then fire him and get another one. But you cannot have everyone administering a university. You must come to grips with the fact that the Board makes policy and the administration should either implement it or have someone else there who will." ivil E. REPORTS TO THE BOARD, cont.
