LABOR MEDIATION BOARD, NOTICE FROM:
In June the Univers ity received a notice from the Michigan Lobar Mediation
Boord sta ti ng tha t a petition has been filed by members of the fac ul ty
requesting a hearing to estab lish the loca l chapter of the Michigan Associa tion
of Higher Educa tion as the facu lty borgaining unit. The University has been
in touch with the lobor Mediatian Boord and a do te for heari ng has not been
estab lished .
The Trustees indicated a desire to discuss a brood range of subjects with the
fac ulty and the following motion was mode by lloyd Cofer, seconded by James
Umphrey and carried:
" The Boord of Trustees having been adv ised that a petition has been
fi led with the Michigan Labo r Mediation Board deems it desirable
to have a conversa tion with the facu lty on personne l matters of
mutual interest. To accomplish th is objective the Boord recommends
that a committee of th is body meet with representatives of the
57
faculty and the adm inistration . It is suggested that the Chairman
of the University Senate, President of the loca l chapter of the
A. A.U. P. and the President of the local chapter of the Michigan
Association of Higher Education be asked to confer to determine
the method for selec ting the faculty members. "
DEVELOPMENT FUND BOARD CONSTITUTION REVISION;
The Boord of Trustees was advised that Act 3 15 of the Public Acfs of 1968
amended the State Income Tax Act by add ing Section 20. This section provides
a credit aga inst the income tax for charitable contributions to instituti
ons of higher learning . The credit is allowed only if the gift is made to the
general fund of the institution. The Michigan Deportment of the Treasury,
Revenue Division, has ruled that the contribution to the general fund provision
requ ires that the gift be under the control of the governing body of
the institution and that it be mode for the same purposes that are reflected
in the Legislative appropriations for the institution.
In reviewing the Central Mi ch igan Un iversity Deve lopment Fund Al umni
Trust Agreement (Constitution), there are several provisions which may be
in conflict wi th Act 315 and if the specified inte ntion of the Development
fund Constitution is ca rried to its logical conclusion, the con trol of funds
is with the Development Fund Boord and not the Un iversity .
The Development Fund Board a t their June 20, 1969 meeting passed a resolution
that the Constitution be amended to clearly specify that the Deve lopmen t Fund
Boord is subject to the control of the University Board of Trustees and that a ll
funds ore token in the name of the University. A suggested Constitutional
revision was submitted to the Board of TrlJStees and approved . (Copy on fi le
in the Secretory to the Boord's file}. It was suggested that the adm inistration
and the Deve lopment Fund Boord Directors develop a fi nal draft for adoption.
LAKE SUPERIOR COllEGE, LETTER OF COMMENDATION TO;
The Boord was in unanimous agreement with Roger Busfield's recommendation
that the Secretary of the Boa rd send a letter of commendation to lake
Superior College on becoming an a utonomous state co llege in Michigan.
