Trustee Krolikowski reported that last month the University received a letter of inquiry from the Dow Chemical Company requesting the University's position in respect to accepting gifts and grants from corporations whose profits may come in part from operations in South Africa. The Investment Committee proposes the following resolution to serve as the basis for a response to the Dow letter and similar inquires. Trustee Krolikowski said the Investment Committee is hopeful that the Board can comply with Dow's request for a reply before January 31. The resolution adopted by the Board of Trustees on March 31, 1978, with respect to the University investment policy in corporations doing business in the Republic of South Africa had the sole purpose of focusing attention on a fundamental issue of human rights. It was not the intent of that action to discourage the mutually rewarding relationship that Michigan State University traditionally has enjoyed with business and industry. It is the assumption of the Board that gifts and grants received from corporate sources are tendered to satisfy a particular corporate purpose: either a business or technological interest or as a response to a perceived social need. For its part, the University welcomes such support as a vital supplement and stimulus to its instructional and research missions, with the knowledge generated therefrom available to the public. continued - - - IRecommendations offered by Prof. Platt Reports to the Board Board Committee -Reports investment Committee Resolution re Accepting gifts & grants from cor- bortations whose profits may come from operations in South Africa i 9493 Reports Board to the Board Committee Reports Investment [Committee, cont. •E. REPORTS TO THE BOARD, cent. January 25-26, 1979 1. Board Committee Reports, cont. A. Investment Committee, cont. Furthermore, both the University and corporations are mindful of the three- way benefits that accrue from the placement of MSU-educated graduates in the corporate world. The success of this placement is a matter of pride to MSU, while the continued employment opportunities for so many MSU graduates indicate strong employer satisfaction, as well. It is evident, therefore, that Michigan State University and the business world have, and will continue to have, far more in common than in disagreement. The Board does not wish to jeopardize that collaboration; rather, it hopes that the mutually beneficial relationship will grow even stronger. MJl the words of a recent Detroit Free Press editorial: What the board sought in its initial resolution perhaps is best summed up in "MSU's action will not topple the Pretoria government, but it will force others to re-examine the moral questions, to thread the American conscience once more through the maze of conflicting principles. They make us uncomfortable. They make us think. And is that not what a university is supposed to do?" (12/19/78) The Board believes its action should be seen in this light. RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees reaffirms the long-standing policy of cooperation and comity between Michigan State University and the corporate world, leading to an even more productive mutual relationship; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that copies of this resolution be distributed to those corporate bodies with which Michigan State University has discussed its investment policy and to others who have expressed an interest in that issue. Motion by Trustee Krolikowski to adopt the above resolution, supported by Trustee Lick. Unanimously approved. 2. At the request of Trustee Krolikowski, Vice President Wilkinson continued the Investment Committee report with the following reports and recommendations: a. Report of the sale of three houses and a parcel of land from the property received by the University under the will of Sarah Van Hoosen Jones. Investment Committee reports and recommenda- tions b. The Committee approved a staff recommendation that common stocks held in the Estate of Estelle R. Warren be sold, with proceeds reinvested in commer-" cial paper until they are used in the Museum portion of the Enrichment Program. c. The Committee discussed correspondence from Scudder, Stevens & Clark concerning Scudder's interpretation of the Board's resolution on South Africa. The Investment Committee instructed the Offices of the Vice President for Business and Finance and Legal Affairs to ask for clarification of this letter and a previous letter received from Scudder. d. The Committee voted to direct Scudder, Stevens & Clark to proceed with sale of stock in American Express and Carnation, which were identified by Scudder, Stevens & Clark in December as possible sale candidates, and to reinvest proceeds in commercial paper pending a permanent investment recommendation from Scudder. e. Recommendation that the Board approve Scudder, Stevens & Clark's recommenda- tion to add Air Products and Chemicals, Communications Satellite, Gannett, and U.A.L.
