MINUTES OF THE MEETING of the MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY BOARD OF TRUSTEES July 26-27, 1979 President Harden called the meeting to order in the Lincoln Room, Kellogg Center, at 7:17 p.m. , July 26. Present: Trustees Bruff, Krolikowski, Lick, Martin, Radcliffe, Sawyer, Smydra, and Stack; President Harden, Provost Winder, Executive Vice President Breslin, Vice Presidents Cantlon, Carr, Nonnamaker, Perrin, Scott, and Wilkinson; Secretary Ballard, Assistant to the President Simon, Faculty Liaison Group, Student Liaison Group. 1. Approval of Proposed Agenda Motion was made by Trustee Bruff, seconded by Trustee Radcliffe, to approve the proposed agenda. Approved by a vote of 8 to 0. Trustee Stack called attention to the plight of Vietnamese refugees known as the "boat people." The United States government has liberalized immigration policies in an effort to assist these refugees to take up new lives in this country. Trustee Stack observed that this causes stress on our social institutions but also offers an opportunity for institutions, such as Michigan State, to perform essential services. He asked President Harden to appoint an ad hoc committee to examine what useful role the University might play in assisting this group of refugees to become productive members of the American society. 2. Approval of June 21-22 Minutes On motion by Trustee Bruff, seconded by Trustee Radcliffe, the minutes of the June 21-22 meeting were unanimously approved with a correction on Item 6., Other Items for Action, "Appointment of Trustees to Alumni Association Board of Directors," to note that Trustees Bruff and Lick both were appointed to two-year terms as members of the Association's Executive Board. 3. Discussion of 1979-80 Budget Proposals President I Harden's I comments regard- ;ing the 1979-80 [Budget Proposals President Harden commented that the budget proposal reflects the administration's most conscientious attempt to deal with shifting enrollments within severely limited resources, changing state budget priorities, the impact of the Headlee Amendment, and deteriorating economic conditions. These factors have combined to make this year's task more difficult than ever before. President Harden expressed his personal belief that public higher education in Michigan is heading toward mediocrity in the absence of a revitalized state policy which places greater priority on it as an essential social investment. Noting the tendency of student enrollments to shift to more costly curricula as one example of structural changes affecting costs, Dr. Harden observed that there have been concurrent develop- ments inhibiting institutional flexibility in meeting those costs. For example, in the last 6 years, state aid to private higher education programs has increased by over $20 million. The overall share of the state general fund budget going to higher edu- cation has decreased substantially. These two items alone have shifted upward of $50 million from public higher education to other state programs. Had those shifts not taken place, and that amount retained as support for higher education, Michigan State University could have realized an additional $10 million to meet its pressing needs. These factors have caused Michigan to drop to 34th position among the 50 states in terms of relative state support for higher education. The consequences of this decline inevitably are reflected in the University's only other major source of revenue—student tuition and fees—which have nearly doubled over the last several years. President Harden concluded his introductory remarks by calling attention to the distinct possibility that declining economic conditions within the state could lead to executive orders reducing 1979-80 appropriations by 1 percent or more. This possibility neces- sarily has been considered as a contingency in developing the administration's budget proposals. Following Dr. Harden1s introduction, Provost Winder and Vice President Wilkinson reviewed the detailed budget proposals which had been distributed to the Trustees with the agenda. Associate Provost Kinsinger reviewed the salary increase guidelines recom- mended for faculty, graduate assistants, and undergraduate assistants. Executive Vice President Breslin reviewed the proposed salary increase guidelines for administrative- professional employees and students. These proposals also were distributed to the Trustees with the Board agenda. I 9567 Dr. Abeles1 comments re- * garding the 1979-80 Budget Proposals ublic Comments iPres.

Public Comments on 1979-80 Budget Proposals Dr. Norman Abeles, Chairperson of the Faculty Affairs Committee, urged the Board to increase the salary guidelines for faculty to average 8.87 percent. Dr. Abeles said this recommendation reflected the Committee's belief that faculty salaries must take precedence over program improvements even though the Committee realizes the desperate need for those improvements and the operational consequences of their postponement or delay. A copy of Dr. AbelesT prepared statement is on file in the Secretary's Office. Recessed at 10:18 p.m. During the recess there were meetings of the following Board Committees: Investment Committee Land and Physical Facilities Committee Health Committee Affirmative Action Committee The meeting reconvened at 1:33 p.m. , July 27, Board Room, Administration Building.

Revision of the Bylaws for Academic Governance; amended to create a University Committee on General Education OTHER ITEMS FOR ACTION, cont. July 26-27, 1979 Revision of the Bylaws for Academic Governance On May 1, 1979, the Academic Council approved a change in the Bylaws proposed by the University Committee on Academic Governance after consultation with various com- mittees within the University system. The Council-approved action amends the Bylaws to create a University Committee on General Education. Approval by the Academic Senate was posted on May 23, 1979. These actions by the governance system followed adoption of a resolution on general education by the Board of Trustees in April 1979 that supported the concept of a University Committee on General Education. The proposed revision of the Bylaws is as follows (the numbers in the following material coordinate with the numbering system used in the Bylaws for Academic Governance) : .4.1. Establishment of Standing Committees 4.1.1. There shall be the following Standing Committees of Academic Council; University Committee on Academic Environment University Committee on Academic Governance University Committee on Academic Policy University Committee on Curriculum University Committee on Faculty Affairs University Committee on Faculty Tenure University Committee on General Education University Graduate Council University Committee on Student Affairs II The sections of the Bylaws now numbered 4.9• (University Graduate Council) and 4.10. (University Committee on Student Affairs) will be renumbered 4.10. and 4.11. respectively. The new 4.9. proposed is as follows: 4.9. University Committee on General Education 4.9.1. The Colleges of Arts and Letters, Natural Science, and Social Science shall each select one member. Seven members shall be selected from other colleges with undergraduate degree programs on a rotating basis. Each of the general education departments (American Thought and Language, Natural Science, Social Science, Humanities) shall elect one faculty member. The Committee shall include two under- graduate students and one graduate student, selected so at least two students are members of the Student Council. The Provost or a designee, a representative of the University Committee on Curriculum, and a representative of the University Committee on Academic Policy, shall be members with voice but no vote. 4.9.2. The Chairperson and one other voting member shall be designated as voting members of Academic Council. 4.9.3. The Committee on General Education shall exercise the faculty's delegated authority to review and recommend criteria for judging the acceptability of courses in fulfillment of the general education requirement. The University Committee on General Education shall review all changes in General Education courses proposed by academic units and recommend their approval or rejection to the University Committee on Curriculum. 4.9.4. The Committee on General Education shall exercise the faculty's delegated authority to review the general education component of the academic program of the University and the colleges and shall recommend their approval or rejection of any changes in general education policy to the University Committee on Academic Policy. 4.9.5. The Committee on General Education shall coordinate its activities with those of the Committee on Academic Policy, the Committee on Curriculum, and other appropriate Academic Council Standing Com- mittees through the Coordination Committee. 4.9.6. The Committee on General Education shall report annually to the Academic Council on the status of general education at the University. RESOLVED that the revision of the Bylaws for Academic Governance, 1978, to include the addition of a University Committee on General Education be approved. \ Unanimously approved. Motion by Trustee Martin, seconded by Trustee Radcliffe. 9579) Other Items for Action, cont. Changes in the Freeman Term Endowment approved "P. OTHER ITEMS FOR ACTION, cont. July 26-27,-: 1979 3. Freeman Term Endowment At the June 20, 1975, Board Meeting, the Board established the Miriam Morgan Freeman Term Endowment with the principal of the fund to be invested in the Income Fund Pool. This was a gift from James A. Milne. The income earned from this endowment is available to students who are or have been 4-H Club members. On January 1, 1990, the corpus of the loan fund is to convert from a term endowment to a self-liquidating scholarship. The Financial Aids Office has not been able to make extensive use of this student loan fund, so the donor has requested the following changes: 1. Effective immediately, discontinue use of the endowment earnings for student loans. 2. Effective immediately, commence using the endowment earnings to pay for" actual expenses owed by the 4-H Youth Department of Michigan State University for 4-H volunteer leader training workshops at Kettunen Center. The 4-H Youth Department also would utilize accumulated endowment earnings to pay for such expenses. 3. The corpus of the fund is to remain intact until January 1, 1986. 4. After January 1, 1986, the 4-H Youth Department of Michigan State University may make use of the corpus to a maximum of $5,000 per year until the corpus is depleted. The 4-H Department may determine, at that time, the use of the corpus and earnings within established University policy. The Freeman family is to be advised of these decisions. It is recommended that the above changes be made in accordance with the donor's request. RESOLVED that the above changes be approved as recommended. Unanimously approved. Motion by Trustee Sawyer, seconded by Trustee Smydra. 4. Agreement for Fire Protection Services with the City of East Lansing The University and the City of East Lansing entered into an agreement in September 1946 under which the City provides fire protection services to the entire campus (including those portions located outside the city limits). In return, the University has been obligated to pay fifty percent of the cost of operation of the East Lansing Fire Department. In 1971, the agreement was amended to provide for a credit against the Universityfs payment of a pro rata share of City per capita revenues from State taxes attributable to the on-campus population. Amendment to original fire services con- tract that formalizes the procedure approved Passage of Public Act 289 of 1977 by the Michigan Legislature provided for funding to the City directly from the State for fire protection services applicable to state-owned facilities located within the city limits. State funds were intended to replace funding from the University for this purpose. During the initial year of implementation of the Act, an informal agreement was worked out with the City whereby the University agreed to pay for fire protection services outside the city limits, and for rescue services for the entire campus, an amount equal to the difference between its previously existing obligation and the payment to the City pursuant to Public Act 289. This arrangement has been reviewed by the Office of Legal Affairs, the East Lansing City Attorney's office, and the Office of Intergovernmental Relations of the State of Michigan, and it is their opinion that it permits the University and the City to fulfill previously existing contractual arrangements within the framework of the statute. It is therefore recommended that the administration be authorized to execute an amendment to the original fire services contract which has been negotiated with the City of East Lansing that formalizes the procedure which has been informally in effect. RESOLVED that the above recommendation be approved. Unanimously approved. Motion by Trustee Sawyer, seconded by Trustee Lick. 01 f < .

Agreement with and Allocation to MSU Alumni Association At\its June 22, 1979, meeting the Board requested a statement of goals and objectives of the Alumni Association, and a description of the services performed by the Association in return for partial funding by the University. Materials responding to these requests have been distributed with the agenda. RESOLVED that the Board of Trustees approves the goals and objectives of the MSU Alumni Association as stated, and in return for the services enumerated in this statement agrees to provide an allocation of $80,000 on a quarterly basis for fiscal year 1979-80. Trustee Smydra moved, seconded by Trustee Bruff, to table action on the above item until the Association can develop a specific contract proposal. If possible, a contract should be prepared for action at the September Board meeting. Approved by a vote of 7 to 0. Trustee Stack was not in the room at the time the vote was recorded. 6. Revision of University Ordinances Acts 510-516 of the Public Acts of 1978 changed the status of most traffic offenses from misdemeanors within the state's criminal code to civil infractions. The effective date of this change is August 1, 1979, so it is necessary to amend the University Ordinances accordingly. The proposed Ordinance revisions have been reviewed and approved by the Office of the Assistant Vice President for Legal Affairs and distributed to the Trustees previously. If the proposed revisions are approved by the Board, the Ordinances will be reprinted for distribution throughout the University. RESOLVED that the proposed revisions to the University Ordinances be approved. Approved by a vote of 6 to 0 on motion by Trustee Smydra, seconded by Trustee Bruff. Trustees Martin and Stack were not in the room at the time the vote was recorded. 7. Temporary Space for the College of Engineering Alterations to the College of Engineering approved Colleges of engineering have grown substantially in undergraduate enrollments throughout the United States. Here at Michigan State University we are stressed substantially to meet the demand for enrollment in engineering programs. While further enrollment growth has been halted, we still have trouble recruiting faculty and in quartering engineering faculty and programs in a facility that was already inadequate 10 years ago. We have now reached a state where the University has won in national competition a grant to substantially upgrade the computer-aided design instruction but the objective of this NSF grant cannot be met without making space available in the very cramped Engineering Building. Additionally, faculty recruiting has been less successful than it should be primarily because acceptable offices and research space are currently unavailable for new faculty, A permanent addition to the Engineering Building is high among the University's capital outlay requests submitted to the legislature. However, it will take a minimum of 3 years after the legislature approves the funding of the addition before we could address these urgent issues. It is our judgment that continuing accreditation of the college's programs requires an immediate alleviation of space problems. The Administration therefore recommends the following: 1. Make a series of building alterations and transfers of instructional and other activities to create space in the Engineering Building to house the Computer Aided Design Program plus creating several additional faculty offices. 2. One set of alterations will make possible moving Engineering Drafting from Engineering to present storage rooms in the basement of Wells Hall. Materials now in storage there will be moved to the attic of Anthony Hall where alterations will provide the necessary security and accessibility. 3.

Health Committee MSU Quality [Assurance & I Risk Management Policy Statement approved Trustee Stack reported that the Committee recommends approval of the following policy statement: Michigan State University Quality Assurance and Risk Management Policy Statement This policy statement on Risk Management is to inform and guide all faculty and staff. Over the last few years the traditional defense of governmental immunity has been greatly diminished by a series of Supreme Court decisions. As a result the University has greater risk and liability exposure than ever before. Con- comitant with this development is the rising cost of insurance premiums. In order to manage the costs related to risk exposure, the University is establish- ing a risk management policy with special attention to health care delivery risk exposure. The professional liability atmosphere that exists today makes mandatory that the highest quality of health care that has always been strived toward in this Uni- versity be continuously achieved. The increased expectations of the public and the professions require that we operate to minimize or eliminate the conditions which may produce an actual or alleged deficiency in patient care. The objec- tive is effective management of all elements of risk, with the purpose of achieving high standards of patient care and lowest practicable loss levels. Each and every health professional has a responsibility and a duty to cooperate fully in achievement of these goals. Supervision of the risk management system will be the administrative responsi- bility of the program manager, i.e., the University Risk Manager. The program will be reviewed periodically for its effectiveness in reaching the desired results. RESOLVED that the Board of Trustees approve the Michigan State University Quality Assurance and Risk Management Policy Statement and that the President be empowered to establish rules, regulations, and procedures necessary to implement an effective quality assurance and risk management program. Approved 7-0 on motion by Trustee Stack, seconded by Trustee Lick, was not in the room at the time the vote was recorded. Trustee Radcliffe i i i r E. REPORTS TO THE BOARD, cont. 2.
