MINUTES OF THE MEETING
of the
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
June 14, 1968
Mr. Breslin reported on the actions taken by the legislature
with reference to appropriations for Michigan State University,
Oakland University, and for capital improvements.
The following changes and corrections in the salary schedules
distributed at the May Board meeting were recommended to be
included in the finalized budget. These include errors, oversights,
and corrections.
| English Dept: |
Joseph W. DeMent, |
Assoc. Prof |
salary increase |
1968-69 to $11,700. |
| History Dept: |
W. Patrick Strauss, |
" " |

| Chancellor's Office: |
Lewis Pino, |
Ass't to Chancellor |
" " |
1968-69 to $21,500 |
On motion by Mr. Nisbet, seconded by Dr. Smith, it was
unanimously voted to approve the salary schedule in its
entirety as recommended by the President, including the detailed
salary schedule distributed at the May Trustee's meeting and
the above corrections.
Mr. Varner presented a budget plan for Oakland University.
His problem in building the budget has been complicated by
the fact that Oakland's legislative appropriation is still
in doubt. The best information available indicates that the
Senate is ready to settle for an increase in Oakland's appropriation
of $587,000.
Mr. Varner recommended that he be authorized to prepare
a budget with total expenditures of $7,450,179, with the understanding
that this figure will be increased or decreased depending
upon the variation in the final appropriation action from
the contemplated $587,000 increase shown above.
On motion by Mr. Stevens, seconded by Mr. Thompson, it
was voted to approve this recommendation with the understanding
that this is only a tentative approval and that Chancellor
Varner will accompany his detailed budget with a fee schedule
designed to produce the funds required to balance it, this
action to become final only upon the approval of the Trustees
at the July meeting.
Communication from Roger Wilkinson:
The Ann Arbor Trust Company has prepared a number of resolutions
which are necessary to close the $3,000,000 Housing and Urban
Development loan for Oakland University.
This loan gives a 3% interest rate payable over a 40-year
period and will be used to retire a construction loan with
the National Bank of Detroit.
Will you please have the Trustees approve the following
documents:
a. Resolution authorizing the issuance and sale of dormitory
revenue bonds
in the amount of $3,000,000. (Resolution will be included
in permanent minutes.)
b. Parietal rules and rate resolution. (To be included in
permanent minutes.)
c. Resolution authorizing advertisement for public sale
of the bonds.
On motion by Mr. Nisbet, seconded by Mr. Thompson, it
was voted to approve the documents as recommended by the
Ann Arbor Trust Co.
Authorization to sell U. S. Treasury Bonds with a face value
of $10,000 received from Mrs. Charlene Fogarty McKee for the
Mary Fogarty Anibal Memorial Fund at Oakland University.
On motion by Mr. Merriman, seconded by Mr. Stevens, authorization
was approved for above sale.
Communication from Chancellor Varner:
Act 252, Public Acts of 1967, has listed among the approved
projects for Higher Education $50,000 for campus improvement
at Oakland University (Phase I -- Roads, lighting, landscaping
-- complete plans and construction). Work on this project
has been delayed several months until the location for the
Central Heating Plant was finalized. This has now been done,
and Oakland University recommends for the, Board's approval
the following firms in order of preference to be commissioned
to do the contract drawings, specifications, and supervision
for this construction:
Johnson, Johnson & Roy, Inc., Ann Arbor
Giffels-Webster, Inc., Birmingham
Johnson & Anderson, Inc., Pontiac
Mr. Varner requested that this also cover the $250,000 appropriation
recently approved by the Michigan legislature for the 1968-69
academic year.
On motion by Mr. Thompson, seconded by Mr. Nisbet, it
was voted to approve Chancellor Varner's recommendation
to employ Johnson, Johnson & Roy, Inc. of Ann Arbor at the
rates approved for such services by the State Building Department.
(p.325)
On motion by Mr. Thompson, seconded by Mr. Merriman, the following
resolution was unanimously approved.
RESOLUTION ON DISRUPTION OF UNIVERSITY ACTIVITIES
Michigan State University stands for freedom of speech, freedom
of inquiry, freedon of dissent, and freedom to demonstrate
in a peaceful manner. This is its traditional position, and
is hereby reaffirmed by the Board of Trustees.
The University holds that freedom requires order and discipline,
and to protect the one
it must maintain the others. The right to this freedom and
ixhe responsibility of the Trustees and Officers to maintain
this order and discipline are shared by faculty, students,
and the members of the general public who come to this campus.
They are all entitled to pursue their legitimate goals without
interference. This is the traditional position of the University,
and has been most recently reaffirmed in the Bylaws of the
Board of Trustees and the Report on Academic Freedom for Students,
adopted by the Trustees.
The Trustees reaffirm the long-time understanding that any
effort to impede the holding of classes, the carrying forward
of University business, the arrangements for properly organized
and scheduled events on the campus, or the discharge of his
responsibility by any University officer or employee constitutes
an invasion of the rights of the faculty, students, and the
general public, is contrary to the interests of the University,
and will not be tolerated.
In any such attempt to interfere with the University activity,
the leaders and participants are held responsible and are
subject to appropriate legal and disciplinary action, including
suspension and expulsion from the University, under established
procedures.
