MINUTES of THE MEETING
of the
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
February 15, 1968
Mr. Stevens offered the following resolution reaffirming
the educational policies at Oakland University:
In January 1957 the Board of Trustees of Michigan State
University accepted a gift of 1400 acres and $2 million
from Mr. & Mrs. Alfred G. Wilson for the purpose of
establishing an institution of higher education in Oakland
County under the supervision of this Board.
Because of the unique opportunity to start with a fresh
approach, this Board asked Mr. Varner, then Vice President
at Michigan State University, to work with community leaders,
key members of the Michigan State University staff, and
national educational leaders in planning an appropriate
program for this new campus. Out of this process emerged
the educational program which is now conducted on the Oakland
University campus. It has been built on a strong liberal
arts base, with professional programs in engineering, science,
education, business administration, and performing arts.
The development and progress at Oakland University have
been pleasing to this Board and warmly endorsed by the community
and by regional and national accrediting agencies and observers.
This Board hereby goes on record to:
1) Reaffirm the educational policy established ten years
ago for Oakland University, (2) commend the faculty, students,
and staff for the progress made in these ten years, and
(3) direct the officers and the faculty to continue on the
present course of the orderly development of a high-quality
University adequate to serve the expanding needs of the
people in this rapidly growing area of Michigan.
On motion by Mr. Stevens, seconded by Mr. Thompson, it
was voted to approve this resolution. Mr. White voted
"No."

Communication from Mr. May:
I have received a communication from Mr. Stoutenburg, Assistant
to the Chancellor at Oakland University, recommending that
the Board of Trustees grant sewer easements through Oakland
University property. Mr. Stoutenburg has this to say about
the recommendation:
Oakland University and its campus planners have been included
in the planning and discussion of this new sewer system
and believes that it will be advantageous to the University
as the campus develops to the south and southeast, to permit
this construction on its property. It is the recommendation
of Oakland University that the Board of. Trustees approve
these easements including the one represented by Mr. Cooney
(CO-16-216R), at their February meeting.
These easements, numbered CO-14-213R, CO-15-214R, CO-16-2158,
CO-16-217, CO-17-228, CO-17-229, and CO-17-230, can be identified
on the attached map which shows the route of the proposed
sewer.
I would recommend that the Trustees approve the granting
of the easements as requested, including the one identified
as CO-16216R which is located on property on which the University
holds an unconditional land purchase option.
