(3) Resolution on the Governor's Proposed Appropriation for MSU The redevelopment of the State's economy and its future economic, social, and cultural growth depend significently on the quality and extent of the research conducted by Michiganfs public colleges and universities. During the last decade, however, and especially over the last four years, the capacity of higher education to serve the State through basic and applied research has been severly restricted. Universities and colleges have not been able to purchase necessary new laboratory equipment, maintain or upgrade existing research facilities, or build badly needed new lab space. Inadequate research facilities seriously limit research capacity. As a result, some faculty have been unable to accept or apply for research grants, even though they are fully qualified scientists. Others are simply leaving Michigan public institutions for private industry or for universities in other states. For . several years, MSU and other research universities, have sought assistance to arrest the loss of dollars and valuable human resources. Unless these conditions change almost immediately, the State's research capacity may deteriorate beyond recovery. Resolution on the Governor's Proposed Appropriation for MSU By recommending differential funding for the State's major research universities, Governor Blanchard has acknowledged the special responsibility and unusual expense of university research. To help revitalize the State's economy, university research must be encouraged and supported. Consistent with the Governor's recommendation of the critical nature of university research, it is proposed that the State permit Michigan's public colleges and universities to exclude indirect cost recovery from General Fund revenue and establish with the recovered funds Research Incentive Funds. The institutions will use the Funds to support research activities that will help attract additional fund ing from outside the State, advance the State's goal of attracting new industry, and serve the educational mission of each institution. To enable colleges and universi ties to do this without further economic hardship, it is further proposed that the State provide a one-time increase in the general fund appropriation, base of public colleges and universities in an amount equal to the institution's indirect cost revenue credited to the General Fund. The increase will be based on the amount of indirect cost recovery in an institution's audited financial statement for the 1981-82 fiscal year. This plan will enhance the research capability of the institutions in direct proportion to their ability to attract research funds. Historically in Michigan, indirect cost funds were not included as general fund revenues until 1969. Many states do not do so, thereby permitting their universities to use indirect cost funds to support research activities. Because indirect costs are funded mainly by sources outside Michigan, these funds add directly to the State's economy. By enabling universities to restore and increase their research capability, the State will help universities attract millions of new research dollars to Michigan. I § 10006 [10.

(2) Resolution on Molecular Biology Institute The economic development of Michigan through research is one of the major responsibilities of Michigan State University, the State's land-grant university. This was true when agriculture was the foundation of the State's economy and remains true today in this period of high technology and economic revitalization. The Molecular Biology Institute was established by Governor Milliken1s Task Force on High Technology to speed the creation of new industries and to strengthen existing industries through discoveries in the biological sciences. Recognizing that Molecular Biology is an area of research in which Michigan State University has nationally recognized high levels of excellence, University scientists prepared the research and development plan which was accepted by the Task Force as the basis for the Molecular Biology Institute. The Molecular Biology Institute was thus initially established with explicit ties to Michigan State University and located in East Lansing. Resolution on Molecular Biology Institute The long run benefits which will accrue from the joint location and cooperation of the University and the Institute will far exceed those which could be attained separately. The breadth and strength of the University faculty's support for and their sustained involvement in the Institute's efforts will be greatly enhanced by the continued close proximity of the Institute to the campus. The opportunities for the Molecular Biology Institute to recruit and retain superior researchers and scientists will be increased by its location near a major research university. A nearby location of the Institute to Michigan State University will also enhance the University's ability to recruit and retain outstanding researchers in the highly competitive recombinant DNA and related scientific fields important to development of the agricultural, natural resource, and medically based economic sectors of this State. The University has a long record of successful collaboration with Michigan's chemical, pharmaceutical food, feed, and other biologically related industries and their involvement in the Institute can be facilited by locating it near the campus. Therefore, believing that the University, the State, and,Michigan business and industry will be served best by locating the Molecular Biology Institute near Michigan State University, this Board of Trustees resolves to urge the Board of Directors of the Molecular Biology Institute to locate the Institute in the immediate proximity of the Michigan .State University campus. Approved by a vote of 7 to 0 on motion by Trustee Sawyer, seconded by Trustee Martin. Trustee Reed left the room after this vote was taken. (3) 1983-84 University Apartment Rates It is recommended that the University Apartments basic rate be established at $210 per month for a one-bedroom apartment and $225 per month for a two-bedroom apartment for the 1983-84 fiscal year, effective July 1, 1983. This is an increase of $12 and $14 per month, respectively, over the current rates. 1983-84 University Apartment Rates RESOLVED that the University Apartment rates be approved as recommended. Approved by a vote of 6 to 0 on motion by Trustee Sawyer, seconded by Trustee Martin. t [ • a Other Items for Action, cont.

D. OTHER ITEMS FOR ACTION, cont, May 26-27, 1983 (4) University Housing Policy Michigan State University, in its housing system, seeks to provide an educational environment which is maximally conducive to the learning process of students. Consistent with this philosophy, a variety of living options that are supported by student fees is made available in University housing. The University has requirements for on-eampus residents to promote an optimum learning environment for students. Any undergraduate student enrolled in seven or more credits at Michigan State University for a term, summer term excluded, is subject to the University's housing regulations. Compliance with the University policy is a condition of enrollment. Regulations and procedures are to be developed by appropriate administrative offices to ensure that this policy is implemented. RESOLVED that the above be approved. Approved by a vote of 6 to 1 on motion by Trustee Sawyer, seconded by Trustee Lick. Trustee Martin voted No . Trustee Reed returned to the meeting prior to this vote. Trustee Reed requested that the record show that the Trustees request that they be informed of administrative regulations relating to the above policy before implementation. (5) Report on Academic Chairs and Professorships Distributed with the agenda is a report on academic chairs and professorships as of March 31, 1983. It should be noted that over the past two years there has been a substantial increase in the resources for this purpose due to additional gifts and market.appreciation of assets. It is recommended for the John A. Hannah Professorships that income in the amount of $200,000 be transferred to the Hannah Fund Functioning as an Endowment in order to increase the corpus of the professor ships. RESOLVED that the report be accepted and the above recommendation be approved. Approved by a vote of 7 to 0 on motion by Trustee Fletcher, seconded by Trustee Martin. (6) Agreement \
