Approval of November 1 Minutes Moved by Trustee Bruff, seconded by Trustee Lick, to approve the minutes of the November 1 Board meeting. Approved by a vote of 7 to 0. 3. Discussion of University Budgets President Mackey reviewed the deterioration in the State's fiscal situation since the Governor's original 1980-81 budget recommendations and its impact upon the University's budget. A series of actions necessitated by the State's fiscal crisis has caused the legislature to appropriate about 5 per cent less for 1980-81 than in 1979-80 as contrasted to the Governor's original recommen- dation for an 8.8 per cent increase in 1980-81 support for the University. Consequently, the University has been forced to prepare a 4-part budget adjustment plan for 1980-81 totaling more than $10,000,000. Concurrent with the development of this plan, preliminary steps have been taken to combat a probable 1981-82 budget problem in the order of magnitude of an additional $10,000,000. President Mackey noted that the 1980-81 budget adjustment plan is directed primarily toward the reduction of expenditures rather than an increase in revenues, since the only available revenue source is student fees and present fees already are relatively high in comparison with those of comparable institutions. The proposal reflects the Administration's best assessment of a reasonable solution to an unprecedented fiscal situation. It is oriented toward maximum retention of the academic excellence which has taken the University so long to build. At President Mackey's request, Deans Anderson, Magen, Lewis and Hollingsworth briefly reviewed the consequences of the budget adjustment plan for their colleges and emphasized the need for expeditious action by the Board. Provost Winder reviewed the plan from the prospective of the Provost's Office and noted alternatives which had been considered. He expressed his conviction that adoption of the proposed plan is an essential first step toward resolution of longer range fiscal problems which the University must address in order to meet the objective of retaining maximum academic excellence. President Mackey, Provost Winder, and Vice President Thompson responded to questions from the Trustees concerning details of the proposal. Public Comments on 1980-81 Bud- get Adj us tment Plan 14.

December 5, 1980 3. Affiliation Agreements In keeping with previously established policies and procedures, the College of Osteopathic Medicine and the College of Human Medicine (School of Medical Technology) have requested approval of affiliation agreements between Michigan State University and the following Michigan hospitals: Butterworth Hospital of Grand Rapids, Flint Osteopathic Hospital of Flint, Hurley Medical Center of Flint, Oakwood Hospital of Dearborn, Munson Medical Center of Traverse City, Pontiac General Hospital of Pontiac, St. Mary's Hospital of Grand Rapids, St. Mary's Hospital of Livonia, Edward W. Sparrow Hospital of Lansing* These agreements are identical to one approved by the Board at its November 1980 meeting between the School of Medical Technology and William Beaumont Hospital of Royal Oak. Thus, unlike agreements which are designed to provide MSU students off-campus clinical training required in their University program of study, these agreements are concerned with placement of MSU graduates. Our School of Medical Technology provides a four-year didactic bachelor's degree program but not a clinical internship experience. MSU graduates wishing such training must apply to hospitals which have an approved internship program. In the past, affiliation agreements involving the School of Medical Technology and Michigan hospitals have been executed primarily to facilitate the admission of MSU graduates to hospital internship programs. While our students were always competitive, they have faced a continuing problem because the number of students from Michigan institutions who qualified for admission to internship programs greatly exceeded the number of positions available. Fortunately, very recent data suggests that this situation, on a State-wide basis, is rapidly changing and may not be a problem in the future. At the same time, admission to Michigan hospitals with strong internship programs can be expected to remain competitive and affiliation agreements should aid our graduates in gaining admission. Moreover, there has been a recent develop- ment which is now prompting Michigan hospitals to request that the Uhiversity enter into affiliation agreements. The body which accredits internship programs, the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences, strongly recommends that hospitals execute affiliation agreements with educational institutions such as ours from which they accept students. These affiliation agreements have been examined by the Offices of the Deans of the Colleges of Osteopathic and Human Medicine, by the Office of the Provost and by the Office of the General Counsel. The agreements come to the Board of Trustees with the Administration's recommendation that they be approved. RESOLVED that the affiliation agreements as noted above be approved. Approved by a vote of 7 to 0 on motion by Trustee Sawyer, seconded by Trustee Lick. 4. Arthur R. Wolf Scholarship Fund It is recommended that the Board of Trustees establish the Arthur R. Wolf Scholarship Fund as a fund functioning as an endowment. The University recently received a $4,000 donation for the establishment of this fund, and it is the intent of the donors, Mr. and Mrs. Theobard V. Wolf, to make additional contributions to this fund in memory of their son. The income from this fund will be used to assist students in the Department of Chemistry. RESOLVED that the above recommendation be approved. Approved by a vote of 7 to 0 on motion by Trustee Lick, seconded by Trustee Fletcher. 5. Continuing Faculty Appointment System for the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory Dr. Henry Blosser, Director of the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory of Michigan State University, recommends the establishment of a continuing appointment system to recruit the outstanding staff who will be needed to advance the program of the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory. The Laboratory requires the capability of attracting individuals who merit consideration as continuing personnel so long as grant and contract support for its program is sustained. The Administration believes that the establishment of this continuing appointment system is basic to successful implementation of the mission of the Laboratory. continued - - - Arthur RL* Wolf (Scholarship Fund, established Continuing Faculty [Appointment System for the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory 9748 Other Items for Action, cont. Continuing Faculty Appointment System for the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory, cont. OTHER ITEMS FOR ACTION, cont. December 5, 1980 Continuing Faculty Appointment System for the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory, cont. Enclosed with the agenda are (1) a memorandum stipulating general understandings and procedures relating to the personnel system, and (2) a policy document describing the Continuing Faculty Appointment System for the National Supercon- ducting Cyclotron Laboratory at Michigan State University. These documents are the product of the joint efforts.of. Dr. Blosser and the Office of the Provost. Both documents have been reviewed by the Council of Deans, the University Committee on Faculty Affairs, the University Committee on Faculty Tenure, and the Executive Advisory Council. The Administration recommends approval of the following: RESOLVED that a Continuing Faculty Appointment System for the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory at Michigan State University be established effective January 1, 1981, within the framework of specified understandings and procedures. These understandings and procedures include the following: (a) all regular University appointment procedures will be used for CA system appointments, including affirmative action procedures; (b) special consideration for appointments in the Universityfs tenure system is not conferred by CA appointment status; (c) the University has no obligation to provide general fund support for CA system appointments; and (d) the CA system is applicable only to faculty appointed in the National Super- conducting Cyclotron Laboratory. I Student Financial Aid System Approved by a vote of 7 to 0 on motion by Trustee Lick, seconded by Trustee Sawyer. 6. Student Financial Aid System The major University-funded financial aid programs (MSU Grants and Student Aid Grants) were established at different times to address student financial needs as they were then defined. Changing circumstances since the inception of these programs, including periodic revision in packaging requirements for federally- sponsored aid programs, have generated inflexibilities in the University's ability to package financial aid to address most effectively the needs of our students. Additional background information on this problem from Vice President Turner is included with the agenda. In order to resolve this problem it is recommended that the following resolution be approved. ;1980-81 Budget | Adjustments RESOLVED that the Vice President for Student Affairs is authorized to make such revisions in financial aid award policies for funds under his direction as are necessary to maximize the University's ability to combine available resources to meet the financial needs of its students. IMoved by Trustee Sawyer, seconded by Trustee Radcliffe. Trustee Fletcher offered a friendly amendment to provide that the Vice President for Student Affairs report adjustments to the financial aids system at an appropriate time but not later than 18 months. Motion approved as amended by a vote of 7 to 0. 7. 1980-81 Budget Adjustments The 1980-81 budget cycle has been characterized by deteriorating state fiscal conditions. When the 1980-81 budget guidelines first were brought to the Board, provision was made for a budget shortfall then estimated at less than $3.0 million. The budget approved by the Board in September was adjusted to accommodate that shortfall through retrenchment of the base budgets of academic and nonacademic units. Since that time the fiscal picture for the state has declined steadily beyond all earlier projections. Projected appropriations for all state functions, including higher education, have been reduced drastically. Michigan State University has suffered its share of those reductions. It now is necessary to adjust the University budget as approved in September by approximately $10.2 million during the remaining seven months of the University's 1980-81 fiscal year to retain fiscal solvency. Plans for 1981-82 must be developed as soon as possible. The Administration's recommendation to the Board follows: continued - - - Other Items for Action, cont. 1980-81 Budget Adjustments, cont. D. OTHER ITEMS FOR ACTION, cont. December 5, 1980 7. 1980-81 Budget Adjustments/ cont/ Michigan State University in the 1980s Michigan State University today is a premier land-grant university, a major graduate and research institution that holds membership in the Association of American Universities (the AAU) , and a public university committed to quality undergraduate education- This is a major state, national, and international institution of higher education. Since the founding as the pioneer land-grant university 125 years ago, MSU's growth in comprehensiveness, enrollment, and academic quality has been truly remarkable. During the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, excellence was achieved in many of the depart- ments , schools, and colleges of this institution. The quality of the faculty is recognized in many ways such as success in national competition for research grants and contracts and support for graduate education, highly effective teaching of undergraduates, and public service. The students who study here are well served by this outstanding faculty. Michigan State University has broad and major impact in the state, the nation, and in many other countries through the academic activities of the faculty through instruction, research and public service, and through the students who study here and go on to make professional contributions and to lead lives as effective and leading citizens. MSU achieved the goal of membership among the best of the nation's public univer- sities through rapid expansion and by stretching a sparse University General Fund budget Across a wide array of programs. Now the high quality achieved as the result of many ye&rs of diligent, determined effort is threatened. This great University is in jeopardy because in this period of severe inflation, financial support fromthe State has declined sharply and suddenly. Faced with this fiscal crisis, Michigan State University is at a fateful point of decision. One choice would be to cut funding more or less evenly for all programs and activities with resulting mediocrity of nearly everything we do. The other choice is to sustain the University's central programs and activities while curtailing or eliminating selected programs so that resources can be reallocated and focused to maintain the quality of those activities that are sustained. The commitment of Michigan State University must be to excellence. The Board of Trustees supports the decision to press forward on this path. This requires intensive planning and careful selection of those programs that will insure that MSU will continue to be a university of the first rank. The corollary is curtail- ment or elimination of less essential programs. This is a most demanding task and will require our best collective thinking as well as exceptional courage. We can and we will succeed by working together. This future of Michigan State University is our most important responsibility. But first we must cope with the severe, present shortfall in revenue. To do this, the Administration recommends to the Board of Trustees a budget adjustment plan. There are several components that are designed to spread the immediate financial burden among the units of the University and among students, faculty and staff. We believe the budget adjustment plan could stabilize now the fiscal status of MSU so that we can turn our attention and efforts to the more demanding responsibility of modifying our continuing commitments to insure the quality of these programs that will be sustained. 1980-81 BUDGET ADJUSTMENT PROJECTION State Appropriation Shortfall Budgeted Carry-Over Less: Revenue Increases Tuition Investment Income $ (9,647,000) (1,700,000) $(11,347,000) $ 700,000 500,000 $(10,147,000) continued - - - I r 9750 Other Items for Action, cont. 1980-81 Budget Adjustments, cont.
