President's Residence conti nued
Recitals:
Central Michigan University ha. purchased a house to be
used as the President's Residence.
This residence will be used by the President on a
regula r basis as an integral part of the Unive rsity
for administrative, social and fund-raising activities
both during and atte r normal working hours, including
meeti ngs with administrators, other employees,
legislators , business leaders and benefactors.
especially when a private, quiet or uninterrupted
meet ing 1s desired or when a no n-otfice aetti ng is
more app ropriate;
entertainment, luncheons, dinner. wlth employees,
students, alumni , f r iends and benefactors of the
Unive r sity, community leade r s , etc.
Tbe President's Residence must be located close to the
campus because the meetings and ente r tainment held at
tbe residence are often held in conjunction with
activities on campus, such aa tootball games,
concer ts, seminars , etc ., and because the President is
~on ca11~ at all times.
The nature of the job makes it impractical fo r the
President not to work at home and the President otten
needs a place for quiet, uninterruptod work away from
the office, both duri ng and outside of normal working
hours .
A Pr esident ' s Residence enbances the status of tbe
President and of the Unive r sity and tnreasea the
Pr esident ' s effectiveness in carrying out the duties
of he r / his position;
It would not be reasonable to expect a President to
purchase, on her/hiS own, a residence that contained
facilities to meet the needs ot the University.
The foregoing demonstrates that tbe President must
reside in the home provided by tbe University In order
to perform p roperly her/hiS duties.
2431
• • President' s Residence continued
The President's Residence was selected by the University
because it could accommodate the business activities
of the University. as well as serve the personal and
family living needs of the President .
THEREPORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the Pr esident, as a
condition of her/his employment and for the convenience
of Cent ra l Michigan Unive rsity, he r equi r ed to
reside in the home purchased, owned and maintained by
the University specifically for her/ his use in carrying
out the duties of her/ his position.
