The minutes were unanimously APPROVED as written.

• Recognition of the Official Representative of the Faculty Association

Professor Marcia Shannon, President of the Faculty Association, expressed condolences to the family and friends of Marc Gordon, Assistant Professor of Theatre, who passed away on July 12^th. She noted: "I attended his memorial service, and I was quite taken with the number of students who wanted to speak about Marc and what he meant to them. As the students said, he was energetic, and he was nice. A couple of them even said that he was the father they never had. We're going to miss him a lot."

Professor Shannon welcomed the new Board members and told them she was looking forward to working with them.

She discussed the Faculty Contract and noted that it stressed excellence in its faculty, who must be scholarly and do scholarly work, such as conducting research, presenting articles, writing and publishing books. They must also be involved in community service, serve on boards, on University committees and/or sponsor student groups. Most important, they must be good teachers who motivate students, who teach them to do their best and to communicate with the rest of the world. She noted that the faculty are probably the most heavily evaluated group on campus, being evaluated by the students, various student groups, and evaluation teams comprised of their respective deans and other faculty, on an on-going basis.

The faculty are also enabling their students to do community service. Nursing students will be working with soup kitchens, learning how to take care of people in the community. They will also be going to area hospitals and working on other projects, such as diabetic screenings. There is a co-operative project with NASA, where students are developing educational materials and curricula for astronauts. In the English Department, students are going into the prison population and helping prisoners learn so that when they get out of prison they can improve their lives.

Professor Shannon stated: "The faculty here are very involved and dedicated. I think SVSU is a great place to work and I welcome the new Board members and hope that we'll make SVSU even better together."

Dr. Blecke told the Board that SVSU has historically been accredited through the National League for Nursing Accreditation Commission. However, the American Association of Colleges of Nursing has evolved as the accrediting organization that is intended more for institutions of higher education. The College of Nursing would prefer CCNE accreditation because of the different level of standards.

• Resolution to Approve Purchase of Electricity
  
  

RES-1568 It was moved and supported that the following resolution be adopted:

WHEREAS, The State of Michigan by legislation enacted in June 2000 established the Michigan Customer Choice and Electricity Reliability Act; and

WHEREAS, SVSU issued a Request for Proposals in April 2003 seeking bids for the purchase of electricity; and

The total cost of the contract over the 28-month period will be approximately $3 million, based upon current usage estimates.

Trustee Cotter noted that she would abstain from voting because of a business alliance between Wolverine Power and the law firm for which she works.

Chairperson Sims noted that she would abstain as well, as she is an employee of Consumer's Energy.

The motion was APPROVED with six affirmative votes, and two abstentions.

• Resolution to Approve Budget Modification for FY 2003-2004

RES-1569 It was moved and supported that the following resolution be adopted:

WHEREAS, The FY2003-2004 general fund operating budget was approved by the Board of Control on June 23, 2003; and

WHEREAS, Subsequent to that date the higher education appropriations bill provided a higher level of funding to SVSU than what was anticipated in the original budget, resulting in revised revenue and expenditure projections;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the attached budget summary which presents a revised budget for FY2003-2004 be adopted. (See Appendix Five, Budget)

President Gilbertson told the Board that in June, when the Board originally approved the General Fund Operating Budget, it was anticipated that there would be a reduction in state appropriations of about 6.7%, or approximately $1.78 million. This would be in addition to a previous cut of 3.5%, for a total reduction of approximately 10%. Subsequent to the adoption of the University's budget in June, the Legislature enacted a State budget which established a basic floor funding for SVSU of $3,890 per student, thereby providing a higher level of funding than was anticipated in the original budget, resulting in revised revenue and expenditure projections.

In recognition of this revision, a $5 per-credit-hour rebate to those students who pay tuition is being proposed. This would essentially reduce tuition income - if it's employed both fall and winter semesters - by about $905,000.

Of the additional unbudgeted funds, $600,000 would be allocated to increase the number of Presidential Scholarships, to add three additional faculty positions, to restore funding for lab upgrades, to improve women's athletic programs, to add clerical support for the Center for Business and Economic Development, and to improve alumni relations/fund raising. In addition, $515,000 would be held in reserve for contingencies such as an Executive Order appropriation reduction.

President Gilbertson noted that the University's overall expenditures per student are considerably less than those of any of the other public State universities in Michigan, and even with a stretched level of State resources, SVSU has maintained the lowest tuition rate among peer institutions - being 10% below the next lowest, and 20% below the mean.

Trustee Law stated that he felt tuition should be reduced in proportion to the higher level of funding received from the State. He noted: "It's inevitable that tuition is going to go up, but education and healthcare right now are running way ahead of inflation, and they are the exceptions. . . . I see this million dollars of additional spending . . . . as inconsistent with the general philosophy and the general approach that we took at our last Board meeting and our general commitment to keeping education expenses at the very lowest we can for taxpayers and for our students."

Trustee Yantz stated that he thought it was a good idea to initiate a rebate to the students, but that it also was fiscally responsible to reserve some of the funds for contingencies because of the unstable economic outlook of the State.

Mr. Hratchian stated: "I have pretty strong feelings about this. I'm a little torn because, to be honest with you, I'm sure every student would very much appreciate getting back as much money as possible. . . . The more I thought about it, though, our school is a great model of running a school on a thin budget, and running a school appropriately where you don't spend money where it's not needed. However, I think when you start running a school too thin it starts to affect the students, and I think we might be getting to that point. . . . I feel that giving the percentage back that we plan on in this proposal is appropriate. I think it's responsible of the Board to do that. . . . since the budget has changed. However, I don't feel as though it all needs to go back to students in a rebate, because I think the students might be better served if some of that money stays in the budget to give back to them through services."

Trustee Cotter stated that putting some of the funds into reserve would help provide stability in case the State enacts another cut in appropriations.

Chairperson Sims thanked everyone for their input.

The motion was APPROVED, by a vote of seven in favor, with one opposed.

• Motion to Move to Informal Session to Discuss Labor Negotiations

• Resolution to Approve SVSU Support Staff Association Contract
  
  

RES-1570 It was moved and supported that the following resolution be adopted:

WHEREAS, Representatives of the administration of Saginaw Valley State University and the SVSU Support Staff Association, MEA/NEA reached a tentative contract agreement between the University and the Association on June 30, 2003; and

WHEREAS, The SVSU Support Staff Association, MEA/NEA ratified the proposed agreement on July 25, 2003;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the Board of Control does hereby approve the Collective Bargaining Agreement between Saginaw Valley State University and the SVSU Support Staff Association, MEA/NEA covering the period July 1, 2003 through June 30, 2006.

President Gilbertson told the Board that this was the first time both sides had reached an agreement prior to the expiration of the existing contract. The SVSU Support Staff Association ratified the contract on July 25^th, by a vote of 110 in favor, with 34 opposed. The agreement is for three years (July 1, 2003 through June 30, 2006).

The motion was APPROVED unanimously.

• INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION ITEMS

15. Update on the U.S. Department of Education Grant Performance Report
