Chancellor Varner presented the following recommendations
for board and room charges for 1969-70:
We recommend that board and room charges for the two semesters
be increased from the present $961 to $994, which represents
an increase of $33 for the academic year, or $16.50 for the
semester. In addition to this, we have traditionally charged
an additional $2 per semester as a social fee. This means
that the official board and room rate would be $994 but in
fact we would be collecting $998 and redirecting the $4 back
to the dormitory committees for their allocation. In order
to operate and meet our obligations for the year ahead, it
will be necessary for us to terminate the linen service and
place this on an optional service. Finally, we recommend to
the Board that for this year only we include the revenue from
Hill House in our dormitory operations but that effective
July 1, 1970, the revenue from Hill House be put to the use
requested by Mr. 0. E. Hunt when he gave the money to build
this dormitory. It was his express wish that the revenue from
Hill House be used in support of either the performing arts
program or the engineering program, with the decision between
the two to be made by the Chancellor. (p. 371)
Recommendation by Chancellor Varner to charge a health fee.
We recommend to the Board that we be authorized to assess
a health fee in the amount of $2.50 per student per semester
effective September 1, 1969. This recommendation is made as
a result of the action of the legislature in arbitrarily reducing
our appropriation by approximately $25,000, with the expectation
that we would recover this from student health insurance benefits,
we have no way to recover this lost income except through
this route.
Recommend approval of granting appropriate degrees for those
students who according to the records of the Registrar completed
the requirements for graduation the end of August 1969 term,
the January 1969 term, and the April 1969 term.
Note: It is understood that approval of the Oakland
University budget, fee structure, and board and room rates
was included in the action taken on similar items for MSU.
On motion by Mr. Stevens, seconded by Mr. Thompson, it
was unanimously voted to approve all Oakland University
items not previously acted upon.
Secretary Breslin reported that Oakland University and Local
1418 had agreed to a one-year contract. Secretary Breslin
further reported that the Union had ratified the contract
and the Secretary recommended that the Board approve the contract.
The major items in the new contract at Oakland University
are as follows:
a. Wages -- approximately 6.5% increase
b. Employees in grade level I will progress to top of classification
in one year
c. Grounds employees and janitors will progress to top of
their classification, Level X, in two years.
d. Free meals for food service people.
e. Fringe benefits will be the same at Oakland as at MSU.
The increases in these benefits will not be finalized until
the MSU contract negotiations are complete.
It was moved by Mr. Nisbet, seconded by Mr. Thompson,
to approve the Oakland contract. Carried. Mr. Stevens
asked to be recorded as not voting. (p. 372)
