"Mr. Chairman and members of the Board, I would like to make a special presentation at this time.

"As we all know, Trustee Robert D. Caine .is today ending his term as Chairman of the Board. Time has moved so swiftly .it is difficult to realize that Mr. Caine has been .in office for two years. And they have been full, momentous years for Western!

"Speaking for the entire University community, I wish to express our deep appreciation and grati­tude for the outstanding leadership which Chairman Caine has provided. He has been energet1c, loyal, supportive, and always conscious of his stewardship responsibilities to the State of Michigan. During the past two years, Western has faced a series of serious, difficult problems; but strengthened by Chairman Caine's wisdom, vision, and great concern for this University, the Board of Trustees has responded with exceptional skill and service. To endure and to progress in such a troubled environ­ment is a major achievement indeed!

"Speaking personally, I want Chairman Bob to know how deeply grateful I am for his keen interest in and support of Western. His wise, experienced counsel has helped me over many a rough spot, and I am particularly thankful that he was always sen-

•�ou have set for us and for your successorsas Chairperson a very high st2ndard, from which we and the University have been and shall be the bene­ficiaries. For all that, we wish now to offer you

ur warm and public thanks."

Chairman Caine responded by expressing his thanks to his colleagues and administrative cohorts,

nd by stating the pleasure he had received in his wo year role as Chairman.

Associated Student Government Constitutional Amendments. Vice President for Student Affairs Thomas Coyne indicated to the Trustees his rational for recommending that only #1 of the following four student constitutional amendments be accepted by the Board. High among his reasons was the low student voter turnout (less than 5% of those eligi­ble). The Vice President also reminded the Trustees that "these amendments to the Student Body Constitu tion were brought to your attention in the Petitions and Communications section of the December 19, 1975 Board of Trustees meeting. Under the Constitution as approved by the Board, action must be taken by you within one month of official notification of a constitutional change."

Constitutional Amendments Passed by the Student Body on October 1, 1975:

Amendment #1. Article I of the Constitution is amended by striking out "Associated Students" and inserting "Associated Student Government".

Amendment #2. Article I of the Constitution is amended by adding a new Section 2 which shall read: "The Associated Student Government is not an organi­zation but the sole legitimate representative agency for the entire Student Body of Western Michigan University. However, it has all the rights and privileges of an organization."

Section 2 of Article V of the Constitution is amended by adding two new clauses D and E which shall read: (D) "between students and The Associ-

ated Student Government." (E) "between an organiza­tion and The Associated Student Government."

Amendment #3. Article II of the Constitution is amended by adding a new Section 7 which shall read: "The rights and privileges conferred by this con­stitution or by any amendment to it shall not be denied, abridged, abrogated, or contracted away by the University or anyone else."

Amendment #4. Article II of the Constitution is amended by adding a new Section 8 (Section 7 if Amendment #3 is rejected or vetoed) which shall read: "Students shall participate through the Associated Student Government in decision making at all levels of the University community."

Trustee Johnson, Chairperson of the Board's Student Affairs Committee, reviewed the several occasions upon which her committee, other Board members, and administrators had met with A.S.G. officers on these amendments. She asked Chairman Dykema to summarize the committee's objections to amendments 2, 3, and 4.

Chairman Dykema did so by noting that amend­ments 113 and 114 could not be accepted in that "they attempted to legislate for those outside its (A.S.G. 's) jurisdiction". He stated for the com­mittee that trustee concern over amendment #2 stern­ed from its lack of clarity and basic unworkability, rather than disinterest in its aim.

A.S.G. President Steve Fox did not respond to Trustee Dykema's criticism of #3 or #4, but spoke only to the intent of #2. He made clear the con­cern A.S.G. has with the current function of the Student Budget and Allocation Committee (S.B.A.C.).

Trustee Ludlow and President Bernhard commented

January 16, 1976 1303

Board of Trustees

that if reform of S.B.A.C. was the intent of #2, a constitutional amendment was not the way to proceed.

The Trustees then voted unanimously to accept A.S.G. Constitutional Amendment #1, but to reject Constitutional Amendments 2, 3, and 4 as passed by a majority of those students voting and officially brought to the Board at its December 19, 1975 meeting.

Adjournment. The meeting was declared adjourn ed at 2:55 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,

REGULAR MEETING February 20, 1976

The Regular Meeting of the Western Michigan University Board of Trustees was held on February 20, 1976 in the Board of Trustees Room of the Uni­versity Student Center.

The meeting was called to order at 1:54 p.m. by Chairman John R. Dykema.

Trustees present; Adams, Dykema, Johnson, Kemp, Ludlow, Parfet, and President Bernhard (ex officio). Tru�tees absent: Caine, Franks.

Also present were: Vice President Coulter, Vice President Coyne, Vice President Mitchell, Vice President Wetnight, Dr. Denenfeld, Dr. Hannah, Mr. Ethridge, Mr. Gagie, and Legal Counsel Staton.

Acceptance of the Agenda. The Trustees accept ed and approved the agenda as presented for the meeting.

Minutes. The minutes of the February 20, 1976 Board of Trustees meeting were approved as circu­lated, with the assurance by the Secretary that Trustees Adams and Franks would be recorded as present.

Remarks by the President. President Bernhard praised Vice President Coulter for the fine contri­bution he had made to the University as Dean, Vice President, and Acting President, and wished him wel in his new position as the chief administrator of Idaho State University. President Bernhard also informed the Trustees that he had no immediate plan to replace Dr. Coulter given current budgetary re­strictions, but was considering the possibility of replacement in the future with altered responsibil­ities.

The President also presented several slides to update the Trustees on current data. These data included information on enrollments, state expendi­tures (as a percentage to Higher Education), appro­priations per F.Y.E.S., rankings of states (includ­ing Michigan) in per capita effort as represented by dollars spent on Higher Education, rankings of the states in effort per $1,000 of personal income, and education as related to unemployment statistics. All of these data were spread over the context of at least a decade, and in total, highlighted the University's current fiscal plight.

Petitions and Communications. The Secretary informed the Board that while no petitions or communications had been received prior to the mail­ing of the Tentative Agenda, several letters had been received from students on behalf of Dr. Wade Adams of the Chemistry Department. The Secretary noted that while these letters would be part of the agenda for March, several students were present

Western Michigan University

regarding this matter. At the invitation of Chairman Dykema, various

students voiced their strong_ support for Dr. Adams, and their high regard for his abilities as a scholar, teacher, and sympathetic advisor. Each made it clear that the University's failure to rehire Dr. Adams had caused personal concern about the University's educational priorities, and about its commitment to teaching excellence.

At the request of Trustee Parfet, Vice Presi­dent Mitchell reviewed Dr. Adams' position (whose third consecutive one year contract had not been renewed) for the students. He defined the differ­ence between "term" (in Dr. Adams' case) and "con­tinuing" appointments, the rationale used in this particular situation, and personal regret that any such action was necessary for a man who clearly had demonstrated teaching excellence.

Several Trustees expressed their regret that the economic plight of the State of Michigan in general and WMU in particular made reductions neces­sary. Trustee Parfet noted however, that while the whole affair saddened her terribly, she was proud that the University could attract teachers of Dr. Adams' ability to "term" appointments.

Dr. D. Brown of the Chemistry Department sum­marized the discussion by noting that the reductions in faculty had caused widespread concern on the part of students and faculty throughout the University. Chairman Dykema and President Bernhard indicated that they were already painfully aware of that feel­ing. Both were complimentary of the students who had attended the meeting to express their concern for Dr. Adams in this way.

Board Committee Appointments. Chairman Dykema announced the following committee appointments for the succeeding year:

The President then noted his continuing concern and frustration with the apparent decline of public confidence in education in general, and higher education in particular. He highlighted his concern by quoting an excerpt from a Saturday Review article discussing the results of this lack of confidence.

•�riting in the March 20 issue of SaturdayReview, published this week, Fred M. Hechinger declares that 'America is in headlong retreat from its commitment to education.' Hechinger, a member of the editorial board of The New York Times and former education editor of that news­paper, continues by saying: 'This retreat ought to be the most pertinent issue in any

Western Michigan University

examination of the country's condition in its Bicentennial year. At stake is nothing less than the survival of American democracy.'

'Let us have no illusions about an American future with declining confidence in universal education and diminished access to higher learn­ing', he writes. 'A slow-down in the escalator of upward mobility constitutes a break with the most fundamental American ideals. The conse­quence will be a stratified, class-bound society ruled by a self-perpetuating power elite of economic and social privilege. It would be the end of the road that was opened by Thomas Jefferson when he called for a new aristocracy of talent to replace the old aristocracy of in­herited power' . "

At the close of the President's remarks, Trustee Kemp added a special tribute to Coach Eldon Miller, whose "high level of sportsmanship" had been a "real credit" to the University.. In particular, he praised the coaching staff for the "respect through example" they had gained from the entire community, not only for themselves, but for the University as well.

Petitions and Communications. The Secretary informed the Board that 18 people had written letters expressing their concern for the academic position of Dr. Wade Adams, Chemistry Department. They are: Mr. John C. Chan, Mr. Samuel N. Chukwumah, Mr. Michael DeBat, Ms. Kathy Derhammer, Ms. Kristy Fox, Ms. Collette Fullmer, Ms. Victoria L. Hages, Mrs. Bruce !manse, Mrs. Faye L. Kelly, Mr. Doug Korinek, Mr.Michael T. Ku, Mr. Gregory Mansour, Mr. RussellPerigo, Mr. Jeff C. Pobanz, Ms. Mary Jo Porter, Mr.Rodney Schpok, Ms. Beth A. Tyler, and Mr. Peter VanOosten. In addition to these communications, 12people wrote letters expressing concern for the aca­demic position of Mr. Richard Swinsick, Music Depart­ment. They are: Ms. Patsy Bimba, Ms. Gloria Cook,Mr. Chris Hansen, Ms. Nancy A. Hassan, Mr. Stephen L.Hyde, Ms. Carol Larner, Ms. Donna Maupin, Ms. MichelleL. Smith, Mr. Craig Suhusky, Ms. Judith Vander Zwaag,Ms. Karen B. Wolf, and Mr. Donald Wray. Each of theabove mentioned letters is on file in the Secretary'soffice.

The Secretary informed the Board that in the case of Dr. Adams and Mr. Swinsick, the University had de­clined to renew term contract appointments. Numerous students spoke on behalf of Dr. Adams, expressing their high regard for his teaching ability and their personal sense of loss that the University would not extend his contract. They asked what action had been taken during the month. Chairman Dykema assur­ed them that the Board had reviewed the matter with careful scrutiny. He reviewed the rationale and data which indicated that the Chemistry Department had to reduce a position, and informed the students that he was convinced the Department, College, and University level personnel made the decision in a careful and unbiased manner. Given this conviction, it was his opinion that the Board should not alter the University's decision.

Board of Trustees

Other students voiced concern that this partic­ular reduction would lower the University's image of quality in Lansing, that the University ought to place first priority on student interest, and that the confidence level of the University by the gen­eral public could not help but be decreased by this move.

Trustees Franks, Kemp, and Parfet assured stu­dents that the Board was concerned, but explained that in any orderly bureaucratic enterprise the key to personnel decision making is that fairness be preserved when staff reductions are made. The stu­dents were reminded that Dr. Adams was on a tempor­ary appointment, that the exact procedures for this decision could be detailed from the Department of Chemistry level to that of Board review, and that the test of fairness and necessity had been met in each instance.

Chairman Dykema ended the discussion by re­stating his sincere appreciation for students' con­cern about the quality of the education they are receiving.

WHEREAS, this Corporation is desirous of using the office), as a statement of University purpose and night depository at American National Bank and Trust intent. Company of Michigan, and

WHEREAS, the use of such night depository is avail­able only to those depositors who are willing to be bound by the terms of the Bank's night depository contract and regulations; now, therefore be it

RESOLVED, that the Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer is authorized and directed to execute and deliver to American National Bank and Trust Company of Michigan the agreement concerning such night de-pository, and be it

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer is hereby authorized to designate from time to time, the employees empowered to act as agents of this Corporation under the foregoing agreement, and the Secretary is hereby directed to certify to said Bank the names of the agents so des­ignated, and said Bank shall be fully protected in relying at any time upon the then current list of agents so certified and in refusing to honor the actions of a person not at the time on the current list; and be it

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the foregoing resolutions shall remain in full force and effect until written notice of an amendment or recision shall have been received by said Bank, and that receipt of such notice shall not affect any action taken by the Bank prior thereto; and be it

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Secretary is authorized and directed to certify to the said Bank that the foregoing resolutions were duly adopted and that the provisions thereof are in conformity with the Cor­poration's Constitutionally Granted Powers and of the By-Laws of this Corporation.

Authorization to Confer Degrees. Approval for the President of the University to confer degrees at the April 24, 1976 Commencement, as recommended by the faculty of the University was unanimously approved.

Honorary Degrees. The Trustees approved a recommendation that the Honorary Degree of Doctor of Laws by conferred at the April 24, 1976 Commencement upon:

Dr. William Birch, retired Kalamazoo physician

Dr. Lionel Newsom, President, Central State University

Dr. B.F. Skinner, Harvard Professor

Affirmative Action Plan for the Handicapped. After a discussion of Affirmative Action goals and priorities by Mr. Ethridge and Legal Counsel Staton,

Financial Aid Policy. As a result of Auditor General recommendations, the Board of Trustees specifically authorized and directed the President to create a Student Financial Assistance Council to be responsible for:

(1) The development of a university-wide planfor student financial assistance including:(a) coordination and evaluation of exist­

ing programs, and(b) policy decision regarding modifica­

tion, termination, or initiation ofnew programs

(2) The formulation of policies for each stu­dent assistance program consonant withthe objectives of said program.

The President assured the Trustees that this council would be broadly based and representative of campus constituencies, including the student body.

Admissions Report. Mr. Duncan Clarkson, Director of Admissions, reviewed with the Trustees a position paper and recommendations for admissions standards at Western. Mr. Clarkson detailed the operating methods of his office and the criteria generally applied to students seeking admission. He suggested that while the University's admissions in general are good, an increased number of "mini­mally qualified" student applicants was a concern. Among other suggestions, he implied that raising the base admissions from 2.0 to 2.2 for incoming fresh­men would be "good". Dr. Franks, among others, raised a concern that the University must maintain an open character for a diverse student body and should take great care not to artificially limit it­self to any specific type or group of students. A complete copy of the report submitted to the Trustees is on file in the Secretary's office.

Adjournment. at 3:45 p.m.

The meeting was declared adjourned

REGULAR MEETING April 23, 1976

The Regular Meeting of the Western Michigan University Board of Trustees was held on April 26, 1976 in the Board of Trustees Room of the Univer­sity Student Center.

The meeting was called to order at 1:50 p.m. by Chairman John R. Dykema.

Minutes. The minutes of the March 26, 1976 Regular Meeting of the Board of Trustees were ap­proved as circulated.

Remarks by the President. President Bernhard (in prepared remarks on file in the Secretary's office) reviewed the emphasis placed on the Uni­versity's fiscal crisis during the preceeding months. He indicated his regret that the financial and collective bargaining issues have so weighted the University's consciousness that many positive programs have gone relatively unnoticed. In par­ticular, he noted the success of the Alumni Affairs and Development program, the new Theatre Department the new College of Health and Human Services, the new Center for Continuing Legal Education, and many other positive events that far outweigh the difficulties of current financial exigencies.

Petitions and Communications. The Secretary informed the Board that their office had received the following Petitions and Communications during the month: A Constitutional Amendment from the Associated Student Government; letters of concern for the academic position of Mr. Archie Watson from Ms. Katherine Greeley, Ms. Jan Shirley, Mrs. Carol Smallwood, and Mr. John P. Vinkemulder; and a let­ter of concern for the academic position of Mr. Peter Malanchuk, also from Mrs. Carol Smallwood. The Secretary pointed out that the Constitutional Amendment election results of March 24, 1976 from the Associated Student Government would become effective unless specifically overruled by the Board at its May 21, 1976 meeting.

All Petitions and Communications are on file in the Secretary's office and are maintained as official documents.

Upon a motion by Trustee Ludlow, supported by Trustee Johnson, the Board approved the following resolution; and authorized the administration to implement the Western Michigan University Foundation.

Western Michigan University

Treasurer, and Executive Secretary. It was further stipulated that at the June

meeting of the Board of Trustees, the administration will present the names of the Foundation Board of Trustees for approval.

The Resolution is as follows:

"WHEREAS, WESTERN MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY has been greatly benefited by gifts from many persons and organizations, corporate and otherwise, and

WHEREAS, gifts to the University will make possible educational projects, student scholar­ships and improvements to facilities and fac­ulty not otherwise possible, and

WHEREAS, many donors prefer to make gifts to a foundation rather than directly to an educational institution,

2. That the Administration file with theproper state department articles of incorpor­ation for said Foundation.

3. That the Foundation when incorporatedbe authorized to accept gifts and bequests for the use and benefit of Western Michigan Uni­versity.

4. That the Foundation be directed to fileappropriate forms with the Internal Revenue Service requesting rulings pertaining to tax­exempt status and deductibility of gifts and bequests for income tax purposes."

A draft copy of "Articles of Incorporation for the Foundation", as well as the above Resolution, are on file in the Secretary's office.

In reviewing this proposal, Trustee Ludlow, Chairman of the Board's Budget and Finance Committee, commented on the rationale which indicated that tuition increases in inflationary times were necessary, not only to honestly face rising costs, but also to meet the constitutionally mandated responsibility as a Board for fiscal integrity. He gave assurance that the Board was well aware of the State of Michigan's budgetary position, which made adequate increases to cover inflation from state tax resources unlikely. He indicated that the University would try for appropriate savings through increased productivity, but emphasized that in an educational institution, not all costs could be met in this way.

On behalf of the Board's Budget and Finance Committee, Trustee Ludlow

April 23, 1976 1317

REGULAR MEETING May 21, 1976

The Regular Meeting of the Western Michigan University Board of Trustees was held on Friday, May 21, 1976 in the Board of Trustees Room of the University Student Center.

The meeting was called to order at 3:00 p.m. by Chairman John R. Dykema.

Trustees present: Caine, Dykema, Franks, Johnson, Kemp, Parfet, and President Bernhard (ex officio). Trustees absent: Adams, Ludlow.

Also present were: Vice President Coulter, Vice President Coyne, Vice President Wetnight, Dr. Hannah, Mr. Gagie, and Legal Counsel Staton.

Acceptance of the Agenda. The Trustees ac­cepted and approved the agenda as presented for the meeting.

Minutes. The minutes of the April 23, 1976 Regular Meeting of the Board of Trustees were ap­proved as circulated.

Remarks by the President. In his remarks, President Bernhard commented on the Spring enroll­ments and the prospects for the University student population next Fall. In summary, the President observed that Spring Session enrollments and credit hours were down slightly, but there was a particu­larly noticeable drop in graduate student enroll­ment. The President did report that applications for Fall 1976, and $50 admission deposits, were up over 10% from a similar period one year ago. Hence he was inclined to be optimistic in terms of the University's future stability -- at least concern­ing the size of its student body.

Petitions and Communications. The Secretary informed the Board that only one communication had been received during the month: a copy of a schol­arly article written by Dr. Ronald W. Davis, Assis­tant Professor in the History Department, with a note to the Board in thanks for a sabbatical leave granted earlier.

The Secretary introduced the Board to the numerous guests that were present, prior to asking Mr. Russell Gabier, Director of Alumni and Develop­ment, to introduce the President's Club members in attendance. Following these introductions, the Secretary also asked Mr. Norman K. Russell, Assis­tant to the Vice President for Student Services, to introduce the student leaders attending the meeting with him.

Academic Personnel Report. The Trustees ap­proved the Academic Personnel Report as presented by Dr. Coulter.

Vehicle Registration Rates. On the recommenda­of Vice President Wetnight, the Board authorized that the University vehicle registration rates be amended to include a $9.00 Special Area Parking Sticker. This permit will be for use in designated parking lots only (generally those far from the main campus) such as the Recreation Building lot.

Although Mr. Wetnight made it clear that the permit would not be restricted only to commuting students, it was this group to which the sticker was to have special application.

Residence Hall Debt Service Reserve. With the recommendation of Vice President Wetnight and the Board's Budget and Finance Committee, the Trustees approved that in accordance with the action of the Board of Trustees on March 21, 1975, the administra­tion be authorized to allocate the Residence Hall

Western Michigan University

Debt Service Reserve to each residence hall and food service unit which has occupancy deficits as of April 30, 1976. The allocation is to be that percentage of the reserve that the occupancy deficit of each unit bears to the total of all occupancy deficits.

In discussing this item, and prior to its unanimous approval, Vice President Wetnight assured Dr. Franks that this action will meet the University's obligation for responsible manage­ment of the various dormitory trusts, in particu­lar those trusts now experiencing a deficit due to low occupancy.

Proposed By-Laws Amendment re: Change in Board Meeting Time. The Board unanimously approved a recommendation that Article I, Section 1.2 of the Western Michigan University Board of Trustees By-Laws be amended to change the regular meeting time from 1:45 p.m. to 1:15 p.m. The amended section now reads as follows:

"Regular Meetings shall be held on the campus of the University at 1:15 p.m. on the third Friday of each month, excepting August, or at such other date, time and/or place as the Board may designate, for the purpose of transacting any business within the authority of the Board."

Guam Doctoral Program in Educational Leader­ship. Dean John E. Sandberg of the College of Education and Associate Dean Ken Simon gave a slide and verbal presentation to the Board con­cerning the University's doctoral program in educational leadership at the University of Guam. In addition to the interesting and beautiful slides of Guam, Dr. Simon discussed the rationale and funding for the program. He noted that the entire cost was borne by the territorial govern­ment, but that cost was far less than what would be required to send students to the United States for completion of their post-graduate experience. He highlighted the numerous benefits which accrued to the College of Education and the University by this valuable and useful program.

Adjournment. The meeting was declared adjourned at 4:10 p.m.

Western Michigan University Board of Trustees 1976-77 Meeting Dates. The Board adopted the fol­lowing schedule of regular meeting dates for the 1976-77 fiscal year:

July 16, 1976 September 17, 1976 October 15, 1976 November 19, 1976 December 17, 1976 January 21, 1977 February 18, 1977 March 18, 1977 April 22, 1977 May 20, 1977 June 17, 1977

Mr. Weston H. Agor, Office of the Governor. The Secretary introduced Mr. Weston H. Agor, Office of the Governor, State of Michigan. Mr. Agor reviewed the Governor's concerns for quality and equity in Higher Education within the state. He indicated a deep concern for improved communica­tions, fiscal year 1977-78 funding, fairness in budgeting through a "formula", and his particularly high hopes for regional cooperation. Board members expressed their pleasure at Mr. Agor's presence and hoped it augured well for the future.

Re ort on Student Financial Aid for Fiscal Yea 1976-77. Dr. Edward Harkenrider, Director of the Office of Student Financial Aid and Scholarships, presented a detailed review of financial aid for FY 1975-76 and his expectations for FY 1976-77. In summary, he felt 1975-76 had been a good year for student assistance at W.M.U. and he expected 1976-77 to be even better. Hopefully, gains in financial assistance will offset the need to increase tuition and room & board costs for those students enrolled at W.M.U. with demonstrated need. (A complete set of documents used by Dr. Harkenrider in his presen-

Minutes. The minutes of the June 18, 1976 Regular Meeting of the Board of Trustees were approved as circulated.

Remarks by the President. President Bernhard comm�nted that our summer session enrollment is 6,142 students, a decline of 632 in head-count, or 9.3% below last year's level. He noted that the greatest decline was in the graduate student ranks.

Dr. Bernhard informed the Board that we have recently obtained approval from the Joint Capital Outlay Committee to proceed with preliminary drawing for our future Fine Arts Building. He noted that the building is presently included in the new Capital Projects Bonding bill recently passed by the Legislature and which Governor Milliken is expected to sign.

He further stated that the Legislature recently passed two compromise appropriation bills for higher education operations -- a supplemental measure covering the July through September quarter, and a full appropriation for the new State fiscal year (October 1, 1976-Septernber 30, 1977). The Univer­sity's appropriation for the State's new fiscal year provides Western Michigan University with $1.3 million over last year's cut-back level. Both bills are awaiting the Governor's signature. (The cornplet text of President Bernhard's remarks is on file in the Secretary's office.)

University Chapter of the American Association of University Professors. The Board further authorized the President or his designate to sign the contract with the faculty union. (A copy of this contract is on file in the Secretary's office.)

Trustee Kemp, in making his recommendation, stated that the Committee recognizes that WMU and the local chapter of AAUP have been engaged in long and sometimes tenacious negotiations. During this negotiation, each party had common objectives in mind -- quality education at WMU for all taxpayers, parents, students, staff, faculty and administration. Trustee Kemp expressed for the Board of Trustees their thanks to both parties and hope that the period of contract administration will reflect a continued spirit of trust, respect, confidence and common objectives.

Chairman Dykema commented that the English prose in this document is extremely clear and readable. The net effect leaves one to hope that the framework created will allow for good contract administration which will enable the University to run in a smooth manner.

PAY SCHEDULE GUIDELINES

New hires should normally be hired at the minimum salary level. Classification evaluations reflect previous experience requirements so beginning a new employee above the minimum rate should not be necessary.

Exceptions to the minimum hiring rule are made only on the basis of the new employee possessing qualifications and/or experience which clearly exceed the minimum for the position.

All proposed starting salaries, above the minimum, must be reviewed by the Compensation Office prior to commitments to assure compliance with policy. Starting salaries in excess of the first quartile require the prior approval of an appropriate Vice President. Any starting salary in excess of the midpoint requires the prior approval of the President.

When an employee covered by this salary schedule is promoted to a higher level position, the new salary assigned should reflect an increase of not less than 5 per cent but not more than 10 per cent of current salary or the new grade minimum if that is greater.

All Service Staff employees are hired on a 90 day probationary period. The normal hiring rate for all new employees is the probationary rate "Prob." The classification evaluations reflect previous experience requirements, so beginning a new employee above the minimum rate should not be necessary. New employees hired at the probationary rate may receive a raise to Step 1 after successfully completing their probationary period.

Incremental raises from one step to another (up to the midpoint) are granted only once a year at the beginning of the new fiscal year (normally July 1). Specific annual incre­mental raises are not provided for employees being paid at or above the midpoint of their pay grade. Adjustments above midpoint are "merit adjustments" only.

Step increments are not fully automatic. If work performance is not satisfactory, increment raises may be withheld by the Department Head.

Starting rates above the entry "Prob." level shall be made only on an exception basis, such as possession of qualifications and/or experience that clearly exceeds the minimum for the position. Any rate above the normal rate requires prior approval of the Compensation Office.

Employees promoted from within the University are assigned to the nearest Step on the new job Pay Schedule that provides not less than a 10 cent per hour increase in pay or 5 per cent of the current salary if the staff member is above midpoint.

Board of Trustees

Revision of Sick Leave Pay-Off. The Board approved a recommendation that effective August 9, 1976 the policy regarding payment of unused sick leave for classified Professional/Administrative, unclassified Professional/Administrative, Hourly Clerical/Technical, and Public Safety employee groups be changed to the following:

When an employee retires: (1) prior to age sixty-five (65), who qualifies for an immediate pension under the MPSERF (or who is under TIAA-CREF and meets the same tests of MPSERF), or (2) after age sixty-five (65) irrespective of whether he/she qualifies for such immediate pension, or (3) dies while an active employee of the University, he/she (or his/her designated benefi­ciary, as the case may be) shall be entitled to be paid his/her accumulated unused sick leave as of the date of such retirement or death, but not to exceed a total payment of one thousand forty (1,040) hours of such paid sick leave.

This change is to provide the same benefits for non-bargaining unit staff as recently agreed to with AFSCME. The change provides a 100% pay­off up to 1,040 hours (one-half of potential maximum) at retirement rather than 50% pay-off. There is no change in the pay-off at death.

Acceptance of Gift of Real Estate. Upon a motion made by Trustee Johnson and supported by Trustee Parfet, the Board accepted for the Univer­sity the gift of property at 1414 Low Road, Kalamazoo, Michigan from William McKinley Robinson and Cornelia A. Robinson. (A copy of deed is on file in the Secretary's office.) The Board also authorized the Treasurer to sign the agreement between Dr. and Mrs. Robinson and Western Michigan University Board of Trustees. (A copy of this agreement is on file in the Secretary's office.)

Presentation from Dean William Burian, Dean of the College of Health and Human Services. Dr. Denenfeld presented Dean Burian to the Board giving a brief resume of Dean Burian's outstanding quali­fications.

Dean Burian commented on the sense of "challenge and excitement" with which he has accepted the appoint­ment as Dean of the College of Health and Human Services. He indicated that the initiation of the College marks a very significant developmental step for the University and enumerated the programs in­cluded in this new entity.

Dr. Burian reviewed the contributions to the new College of Dean Leonard Gernant for his work in spearheading the planning process; and Dr. George Mallinson for his contributions over the years in the development of so many of the program areas that are now part of the College of Health and Human Services.

Remarks by the President. President Bernhard informed the Board that approximately ten days ago, the administration had the opportunity to confer with several officials from the Department of Management and Budget. The purpose of this meeting was to discuss the needs of Western Michigan Univer sity, particularly as they relate to the 1977/78 fiscal year.

President Bernhard also stated that our employee turnover rate has increased, particularly in the non-academic areas. The gap between "market' and Western's minimum rates for professional/admin­istrative and clerical/technical increased during 1975-76.

Western Michigan University

and where necessary, assist in re-definition of those goals. Trustee Franks, speaking on behalf of the Student Services Committee, commented that this audit was essential for future programming of Health Services and that the materials derived from this report will be helpful in planning.

"It shall be the policy of Western Michigan University that when, in accordance with the appropriate Michigan statutes, an exclusive collective bargaining agent is elected and certified by an appropriate unit of University employees, the University--through its desig­nated representatives--shall recognize and bargain in good faith with such agent concerning wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment. All collective bargaining contracts developed under this policy shall be presented to the Board of Trustees for ratification.

The President of the University is hereby authorized and directed, personally and/or through representatives by him designated, to implement, administer and enforce the above recited policy."

Crime Prevention Bureau. The Board of Trustees approved that $1,021 from the operating funds of the Department of Public Safety be designated as the cash matching contribution required in the award of $19,397 received by Western Michigan University from the State of Michigan, Office of Criminal Justice Programs. These funds will implement a Crime Pre­vention Bureau under the direction of Mr. John H. Cease, Captain, Department of Public Safety.

This resolution relates to a grant totaling $49,000 of which Western Michigan University's share is $4,400.

RESOLUTION

WHEREAS, the road and street signs on Western Michigan University's campus need to be upgraded and improved; and

WHEREAS, Federal funds are available and have been approved for such a project and purpose; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of Western Michigan University and the Michigan State Highway Commission have reached an understanding concerning each's part in the performance of the project and have reduced this understanding to a formal written agreement; and

WHEREAS, said written agreement must be exe­cuted by formally authorized persons on behalf of said Board in order for Federal funds to be applied and the project to proceed;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:

That the formal written agreement identified as Project SRS 39(006), Job Number 11567, Control Section 39632, between the Board of Trustees of Western Michigan University and Michigan State Highway Commission be and hereby is approved, and that Robert B. Wetnight and Robert Beecher, Treasurer and Assistant Treasurer, respectively, of said Board, be and hereby are authorized to execute said agreement on said Board's behalf.

Capital Outlay Request for FY 1977/78. The Board approved a long range Capital Outlay Request to the Department of Management and Budget, State of Michigan, for funding of planning and construc­tion of physical facilities for the fiscal years 1977-78 through 1982-83. This request includes a total of $69,435,000 for nineteen projects.

Trustee Mildred Johnson, Chairman of the Board's Capital Outlay Committee, informed the Boar that this request has been reviewed by the Capital Outlay Committee and has their endorsement. A copy of this request is on file in the Secretary's office.

Affirmative Action Report for 1974-76. Mr. Robert W. Ethridge, Administrative Assistant to the President and Affirmative Action Coordinator, state to the Board that progress has been made in meeting Western Michigan University's affirmative action goals since the affirmative action plan was approve in December 1974. He also noted that much remains to be accomplished and the two-year timetable that was established in the plan is too short to meet the goals.

Mr. Ethridge explained for the Board that the total number of faculty decreased from 871 in 1973-74 to 763 now, and that the 44 minority faculty

Western Michigan University

members constitute 5.8 percent of the total, com­pared to 5.4% in 1973-74. The new percentage shows an increase of .4%, but is still 2.7% below the goal of 8.5%.

He also mentioned that the number of women in administrative positions has dropped 2.2% since 1973-74. Women now occupy 24.3% of the 448 positions in this category, falling short of the goal by 4.3%. Blacks and other minorities constitute 8.3% of the 448 administrative positions, which is only .2% short of the goal.

The number of minority secretarial and clerical employees has dropped over the two year period from 19 to 12, which represents 2.9%. Mr. Ethridge stated that the goal of 4.6% can only be achieved by improv­ing recruiting and hiring practices.

In response to questions regarding availability figures used for establishing goals, Mr. Ethridge stated that the Committee used national figures for faculty and administrative positions, and used 1970 U.S. Census data plus W.E. Upjohn data for the other positions, such as clerical and bargaining unit staff.

Graduate Studies Report. Vice President Mitchell introduced to the Board Dr. Richard Burke, Associate Dean of the Graduate School, and Dr. William Martinson, Head, Department of Counseling and Personnel.

Dr. Burke summarized the report on "Graduate Education at Western Michigan University". He spoke principally to Chapters three and ten, because "these chapters contained statements on the purposes and missions of graduate education", as well as a summary of the major themes of the report of the All-University Committee on Graduate and Professional Education.

He stated that the older, fully-employed, part-time, non-residential students hold the key to growth in graduate education in the next decade. Over 20 percent of all graduate enrollment at Western now is the PTC (Permission to Take Classes) category. Of this 20 percent, however, only about 9 percent actually have been admitted later to a graduate program.

Dr. Burke gave a profile of the graduate student body: 29.4 years of age; two-thirds are married; most are white, 6 percent black this Fall; one-half received Bachelor's degree from Western; 69 percent are part-time students; and 85 percent come from Michigan, three-fourths of which reside 100 miles from Western.

Graduate enrollment has increased from 147 in the Fall of 1939 to 3,955 in the Fall of 1976. Dr. Burke stated that with the increasing competition for students and the growing popularity of community colleges, Western needs to emphasize upper level and

October 15, 1976 1343

Board of Trustees

graduate programs, and to pay particular attention to the growing qemand for part-time educational opportunities.

Dr. Burke ended his presentation with the comment that this report represents only a begin­ning, a point of departure. There is a need for Western to identify its areas of strength and for a systematic, periodic review and evaluation of graduate programs.

Trustee Parfet, on behalf of the Board, extend ed her appreciation for the Committee's hard work in compiling the information in this report.

Respectfully submitted,

Mr. Williams told the Board that for every dollar by which the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) decides to raise the price of its oil, WMU's utility costs will rise by over $200,000. He told the Board that although coal is the basic source of fuel to produce steam and electricity to operate Western's physical plant, University officials will be keeping an eye on the proceedings of the December OPEC meeting.

He also informed the Board that we anticipate our electricity costs, which now average about $1 million annually, will rise four percent for each dollar increase in OPEC oil and that the same oil price increase will translate into a $3-$4 per ton increase in coal. He noted that any cost increase would not be felt innnediately at Western because we have a stockpile of coal at the Kalamazoo State Hospital. In February, however, when bids for next year's coal contract are submitted, an increased price may become evident.

Mr. Williams said he does not anticipate a recurrence of the 1973 OPEC oil embargo because of the probable world-wide disastrous consequences. He said that the embargo awakened the United States to the fact that it had become an energy deficient nation, and that energy conservation efforts were essential.

In 1973, Western joined the conservation move­ment by appointlng a committee to establish guide­lines and coordinate the University's conservation efforts, Mr. Williams said. He said that Western has been highly successful in its energy conserva­tion program due to the complete support received from the entire University community.

Mr. Williams informed the Board that future energy problems are: the continuing critical supply of available energy; the increasing cost of energy; the fact that the cost of energy efficiency improve­ment procedures will rise; and the fact that new construction will undoubtedly be required to meet anticipated energy conservation standards.

Prior to adjourning the meeting, Chairman Dykema announced that Trustee Caine and Secretary Robert Hannah will attend a special meeting with the State Board of Education on November 23.

Adjournment. The meeting was declared adjourn­ed at 2:25 p.m.

Minutes. The minutes of the November 19, 1976 Regular Meeting of the Board of Trustees were approved as circulated.

Petitions and Communications. The Secretary informed the Board that there were no formal petitions or communications. However, Mr. Garrard Macleod, Station Manager of WMUK-FM, had requested time to present each member of the Board with a paper weight as a gesture of appreciation for the University's support shown to WMUK over the past 25 years.

Remarks by the President. President Bernhard informed the Board of two items of special interest First, he noted the birthday of the new Western Michigan University Foundation on December 7. He reported that the Foundation had a very successful initial meeting and among other necessary tasks elected Mr. William John Upjohn as the Foundation's first president. The Foundation is "definitely off the ground and is on its way for further pro­gress which will benefit the institution."

The second item was the announcement that Dr. David A. Sheldon, associate professor of music, is one of seven university faculty members from the State of Michigan to be awarded a fellowship for independent study and research for 1977-78 by the National Endowment for Humanities. This is a dis­tinct honor, for only three institutions of higher education are represented by the seven faculty: Western Michigan University, University of Michigan and Wayne State University.

WILLIAM G. BIRCH, SR. Doctor of Laws

William G. Birch, Sr., physician and civic leader, you have, over many decades and in many areas, given tirelessly of yourself and your multiple talents to benefit not only the physical condition of your fellow humans, but also the quality of their social and cultural lives. Your enthusiastic, effective participation as a citizen of Kalamazoo for the past 31 years is evidenced by your service in leadership positions in the Kalamazoo Rotary Club, the Executive Club, the Chamber Music Society and the Symphony Society. As an outstanding member of the medical community, you were chosen to chair the South Central Michigan Health Planning Council, to preside over the Kalamazoo Academy of Medicine, and to serve on the medical board and as chief of obstetrics at Bronson Methodist Hospital.

Western Michigan University is indebted to you as the foster parent of its Physicians' Assistants program, for which you proposed the initial feasibility study to the Michigan State Medical Society and to which you later devoted countless hours as its first clinical director. Your achievements have been recognized through awards for service from the Michigan State Medical Society and from your own community.

The Western Michigan University Board of Trustees joins in honoring you for your distinguished career as a physician and for your unselfish dedication to serving others, and is pleased to confer upon you the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws with all the rights and privileges appertaining thereto.

LIONEL H. NEWSOM Doctor of Laws

Lionel H. Newsom, sociologist, teacher, and educational administrator, throughout your career you have combined a perceptive insight into human nature with a scholar's continuing pursuit of knowledge and an educator's commitment to transmit that knowledge to inquisitive young adults seeking understanding of themselves, their fellow men, and their world. You have distinguished yourself in the field of human relations at the local, state and national levels as a civic leader and as a concerned, active member of organizations dedicated to the achievement of quality of opportunity for all individuals.

Your professional abilities and accomplishments have long been recognized by your colleagues in education, who have paid you tribute by appointing you president of three institutions of higher education, including the one over which you currently preside, Central State University in Wilberforce, Ohio.

In recognition of your distinguished contributions to society and for exemplifying the educational philosophy of this institution, the Western Michigan University Board of Trustees is pleased to confer upon you the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws with all the rights and privileges appertaining thereto.

You are cited by both professionals and laymen alike as the one individual most instrumental in the progress of psychology in this century. As a teacher you have inspired students to proceed beyond the obvious, to question the unknown. You seek newness because you believe in the necessity to question, and the obligation to advance knowledge.

The world is the beneficiary of your interest, your search, and your wisdom.

Commencement August 20, 1976 DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI AWARD RECIPIENTS

MARTELLE L. CUSHMAN

Martelle L. Cushman, during the 40 years between your graduation from Western and your retirement in 1972 from the University of North Dakota, after 18 years as dean of the College of Education, your career as a teacher and administrator was distinguished by intelligent, vigorous and imaginative leadership. Your life-long interest in the quality of rural education was sparked by your own experiences in one-room elementary schools. As superintendent of rural school districts in your native Michigan, and later as director of the program in rural education at Iowa State University, you demonstrated the force that an effective leader can release in raising the morale, the accomplish­ments and the expectations of young people.

Your professional achievements have been recognized by your colleagues in Phi Delta Kappa, the national professional education fraternity, who paid you tribute by electing you as district repre­sentative, national recording secretary, member of the Board of Directors, first vice president and, finally, international president. Further, your expertise in problems of school administration and finance and school district reorganization was tapped by several national educational organizations, in which you held high-ranking positions, by Nations Schools magazine, for which you long served as a consultant, and by numerous Midwest school districts, to which you provided invaluable advice.

It is with great pleasure that Western Michigan University and the Alumni Association present you with this Distinguished Alumnus Award for your accomplishments, which exemplify the aims and aspirations of this University and which reflect credit on your alma mater.

WILLIAM B. FITZGERALD

William B. Fitzgerald, Michigan Senate Majority Leader, you have given generously and effectively of your time and talents in the service of your fellow citizens and our State. After your graduation from Western in 1965, you demonstrated unusual energy and discipline by simultaneously pursuing your law degree from the Detroit College of Law, serving as a legislative aide for the City of Detroit, and teaching and coaching students at Detroit's St. Martin High School.

First elected to the Michigan House of Representatives in 1971, you early established high standards of political conduct. There you served as chairman of the House Committee on Economic Development, on the Select House-Senate Committee to Investigate the Energy Crisis and, at the national level, as a member of the Energy Task Force of the National Legislative Council.

Michigan's goals of a more diverse industrial economy and the attracting of new business for future state growth benefited from your strong legislative leadership and from your membership in the Michigan Industrial Development Association. You also worked successfully to establish and maintain the Division of Minority Business Enterprise, for which you were honored by an appreciation award.

Confidence among the electorate and your legislative colleagues in your decision-making and leadership ability was evidenced by your election to the Michigan Senate in 1974 and your selection as the youngest Senate Majority Leader in Michigan history. In that position of broad and diverse legislative responsibilities you have striven commendably and effectively to achieve an equitable balance in meeting the needs of Michigan's citizens on issues of consumer protection, energy. labor, business, the environment, social sciences, mental health and education.

It is with great pleasure that Western Michigan University and the Alumni Association present you with this Distinguished Alumnus Award for your accomplishments, which exemplify the aims and aspirations of this University and which reflect credit on your alma mater.

MARY JACKSON

Mary Jackson, on stage and television you have brought pleasure to millions in this country and beyond its boundaries, currently in your role as Miss Emily Baldwin, one of two sisters who make a fascinating "recipe" which everyone loves to sip on the heartwarming family television series, The Waltons. Through continuing effort and devotion to your art you have achieved that stardom which so many seek, but so few attain. Your great talent is attested to by the wide range and variety of your character portrayals, which include starring roles in the Broadway productions of East of Eden, Kiss and Tell, Flowering Cherry, the award-winning The Trial of the Catonsville 9, and most recently at the Los Angeles Music Center in Juno and the Paycock. The skill and sensitivity which you have brought to these challenging dramatic interpretations mark you as a true artist, and the acclaim you have received from critics and fellow performers is recognition of the highest order.

Your acting career began at Western, where you studied drama and met B.Iden Payne, a scholar, teacher and director of Shakespearean plays. Following your graduation in 1932, you joined Payne's Shakespearean Company, which had a repertoire of 14 plays in which you performed in many parts throughout the country. That launched your career on the legitimate stage, where for more than 40 years you have continued to excel.

In a profession where competition is intense, you have overcome disappointments, maintained confidenc·e in your ability, and persevered in the struggle to achieve your personal and professional goals; and so you have epitomized the spirit and courage to inspire students to pursue acting careers.

It is with great pleasure that Western Michigan University and the Alumni Association present you with this Distinguished Alumna Award for your accomplishments, which exemplify the aims and aspirations of this University and which reflect credit on your alma mater.

FRED G. LAVIOLETTE

Fred G. LaViolette, environmental scientist, physicist and nuclear engineer, you exemplify the twentieth century Renaissance Man. Your critical contributions to the brillant technological feat of harnessing the atom helped to open the new nuclear age, with its unlimited potential for bettering society. However, your embarkment on this exciting frontier of knowledge was tempered by your deep sense of responsibility for preserving the best of mankind's traditions. The safety of the people of the world and protection of the environment in which we live has been a continuing priority, so you have combined essential exploration of the unknown with humane values.

After you earned your bachelor's degree in physics and mathematics at Western in 1938, you received from the University of Michigan master's degrees in physics and electrical engineering. Membership in two education honorary societies, Kappa Rho Sigma and Phi Kappa Phi, distinguished your academic career, and later your outstanding professional ability was recognized by your selection for special assignment during World War II to the Manhattan District Project as instrument engineer responsible for developing special instrumentation for the production and separation of fissile materials. For the excellence of your wartime services, you were corrnnended by the duPont Company Award and the U.S. War Department, Manhattan District Award.

Your long years of thought, research and writing about the application of nuclear energy have had valuable impact on scientists' understanding of this powerful force, and your second career as an environmental engineer has demonstrated dramatically your abiding concern to conserve and pre­serve nature's gifts, so that future generations may enjoy them.

It is with great pleasure that Western Michigan University and the Alumni Association present you with this Distinguished Alumnus Award for your accomplishments, which exemplify the aims and aspirations of this University and which reflect credit on your alma mater.

Commencement December 18, 1976 UNIVERSITY DISTINGUISHED SERVICE AWARD

PHILIP N. WATTERSON

Philip N. Watterson, concerned citizen and Trustee Emeritus, it is truly fitting that you, a member of Western's first Board of Trustees, should be selected to receive the first University Distinguished Service Award.

During your decade of dedicated service as a Trustee -- from 1964-74 -- you contributed signifi­cantly to the quality and advancement of this University; and, since then, through your membership on the Michigan Council of Higher Education and in many other capacities, you have continued to serve Western and the cause of education.

We are particularly proud of you as a 1932 graduate of our business administration program. Your achievements as a teacher and superintendent of schools, your public service as a township supervisor, a�d your industrial success as President and General Manager of the Angle Steel Company exemplify the goals of this University in their unusual combination of personal fulfillment, competitive excellence, and service to society. In all of these you have reflected credit upon your alma mater.

It is, therefore, with great pleasure that the Board of Trustees presents you with this Univer­sity Distinguished Service Award.
