Chairman Cofe r staled that an e a r lier telephone
conve r sation with Mr. Umph rey Indicated there
would be no repo rt at thiS time.
Dr. James E. Hayes , Director of Special Studies and Grants, reviewed
a planned program of " Equa lity of Educatlcnal Opportunity. " The plan
is to be tried on a limited scale as an experi mental project. It s hould
be noted thal we are a lready In progreSB In the saginaw area and such
nearby c ities as it seems appropriate for the location of ou r efforts in
gene ra\. It was also felt that there were advantages to our own students
in such a program as well as to the disadvantaged student. l\lore detailed
plans were discussed and questions answered. It was moved , secondcd
and carried that the Board accept the recommendations embodied in the
program and the tentatlve budget proposal for next year of $35. 000
covering salaries, tra vel, rec rUitment . confe rences and tutorial

request to provide as much of the requested funds as possible.

chapter of the American Assoclatlon of Univers ity Professors regarding
the salary g r ievances and the Board's action rela t ive to the salary
schedule. Acknowledgement was also made of a communication from the
University Senate relat ive to the Board's action taken regarding grievances.
The Boa rd's position was summarized in the statement that there was no
intention on its part to be arbit rary or unilateral without consultat ion with
the faculty. Because of timing In the fiscal a nd academiC year, an earl}'
solution to the problem was imperative and the Board in all good faith
tried to both settie the matte r of grievances a nd to give raises that would
be acceptable and fair. Further, to develop a new salary s ystem the most
acceptable and democratic manne r in which to proceed appeared to be to
refer the matte r back to the Senate and facu lty for deliberation in
consultation with the Board. it is the desire of Lhe Board that dialogue
result in a fair and satisfactory solution to the salary system.
A ccmmunication from the Chairman of the Joint Administrative- Faeulty
Salary Committee for a meeting with some members of the Board was
discussed. Chairman Cofer asked the Academic Affairs Committee to
meet with the salary Committee prior to the next meeting of the l30ard
on July 17, 1968.

Recommend that architects for various University projects continue to
be selected by the comparative selection method. Under this method,
the following would prevail:

engineering firms to present their qualifications and pertinent
printed materials would he continued, with the file developed
and maintained from these contacts to be used as a principal
source of information relative to selection for a particular
project.
2. Each time a fi rm is to be selected for a particular project,
a review should be made of the architectural engineering file,
in order to give general consideration to all firms who have
indicated interest in working for the Unive rsity, but the number
selected for serious consideration should be limited to two or
three firms. Architects, engineers and other conSUltants,
whether directly retained or not, should be separately evaluated,
3. Group participation should be used in the selection process
in order to achieve a broad basis of evaluation. Membership in
the group might include. but not be limited to, the Director of
Physical Plant, Dircctor of Plant Extension, individuals who

continuing responsibility in all phases of the total University
development program, with a firm recommendation coming

and through him to the President and Board of Trustees.
