Vol. IX No. 4 Jan. 31, 1979 Editor: Maureen Smith (612) 373-7507 A weekly internal bulletin serving all campuses Governor Quie has recommended a no-growth appropriation of $394.9 million for the U in 1979-81. U request is for $437 million. Request of $647.7 million reported in last week's Brief also includes $59 million in requests Quie has not considered yet, $84 million to be received in tuition, $58 million in other U income, some other items. U officials say they will continue to argue for the full request. U will be in "deep trouble" if the Quie budget is accepted, VP Kegler said. "If we can't get some appropri­ ations to meet inflation, then we are de facto cutting back," President Magrath said.

Quie deferred decision on $59 million of the request, including such items as faculty salary increases, social security funds, r1s1ng fuel and utility costs. He recommended !that tuition increase by 7% in each year of the biennium. Decisions on request for $41.9 million for academic salary increases--11% in each year of the biennium--and about $5 million in requested social security increases were deferred until later in the year, when salary negotiations involving the State University System 1 and community college faculties are to be completed. Request for increase of $2.3 million to meet rising fuel and utility costs was deferred. U will seek an appropriation for increasing energy costs from a contingency account to \be administered by the Legislative Advisory Commission. jGovernor's failure to recommend nonsalary price level increases is "the thing that !initially troubles me the most," President Magrath said. "Inflation affects every academic program, every department of the University." U had requested $11.1 million for meeting cost increases throughout the 5-campus system over the next 2 years. Largest increase Quie recommended was for a $2.5 million "base adjustment," to put on recurring funding a civil service pay plan approved by the state during current biennium.

Quie recommended a $939,000 supplement for U Libraries to offset inflation in the cost of books and periodicals and a $200,000 increase for the Graduate School Research Fund. Magrath said he was gratified by these recommendations, which showed a recognition of the U's unique mission. Other increases Quie recommended include $923,000 for increased costs of skilled labor on construction contracts, $600,000 for agricultural research, $600,000 to match federal money for surface mining research.

Only 5.9 of the requested 227 new faculty and civil service positions-were recommended. Quie recommended 1 academic position for the Freshwater Biological Institute, a half-time person for the Sea Grant Program, and 0.4 of a position for the fire education program. Three new civil service positions were recommended to improve services for handicapped students and 1 civil service position was recommended for Sea Grant.

No new funds were recommended for women's athletics. Magrath said he would not take academic funds for sports, even if the legislature does not fund this $1.3 million item. Research aE£ointments for summer 1979 have been awarded to 28 of the 98 faculty members who applied. Details and list in Jan. 8 memo from Dean lbele of the Graduate School.

Present law says senior citizens may enter classes on a space-available basis, at no cost for auditing or $2 per credit. Assembly also suggested that senior citizens be included in head count for funding purposes. Resolution on senior citizen tuition was presented by Educational Policy Committee and will now be forwarded by Provost Heller to central officers and regents. Committee noted that several CEE classes had to be cancelled because few tuition-paying students registered, even though a number of senior citizens sought instruction.

President Magrath announced plan for allocating $445,000 in merit/equity adjustments. Because the number of deserving claims exceeded the available funds, he said, an effort was made to solve the most urgent problems. Measure of inequity was the extent to which faculty salaries in a unit fell below those in the unit's peer group.

Allocations of $125,000 each will go to College of Biological Sciences (CBS) and Institute of Technology (primarily for chemistry and math departments). Other allocations: $84,000 to Law School, $50,000 to College of Liberal Arts (for several specified units), $36,000 to Medical School (for medical technology and physiology), $25,000 to College of Education (for vocational and technical education and Institute of Child Development).

Adjustments will be retroactive to July 1 for A appointments, Sept. 16 for B appointments. CBS and Law School were identified as needing additional adjustment in 1979-80.

Watson committee report on planning, decision making, and consultation at the U will be presented to U Senate Feb. 15. Among recommendations: reorganization to make evident the primacy of academic affairs VP, examination of Senate structure and possible reduction in the number of standing committees, clearer definition of consulting system.

Senate Consultative Committee (SCC) recommended last week that the U not seek state funds for TC men's intercollegiate athiet:ics:----Proposal to seek such funds fS now under -consi­ deration by the regents. Everything in legislative request is in competition with every­ thing else, Ken Keller said, and other items have higher priority than varsity sports.

SCC will meet at Waseca campus April 19 and Morris campus May 3.

President Magrath told the Senate education committee last week that he has problems with the $394.9 million appropriation recommended for the U over the next 2 years by Governor Quie. "I've never said this to a legislative committee as strongly as I'm saying it now: if we do not receive an adequate appropriation, the University of Minnesota is going to suffer and we are all going to suffer," Magrath said.

House DFL caucus leader Irv Anderson of International Falls said Quie's proposed budget for the U is too austere and said the governor's policy for higher education "appears to be to starve it now, even though enrollments won't decline until the mid-1980s. 11 But Sen. Jerome Gunderson, DFL-Mabel, expressed concern that increases for the U would enhance its prestige and leave the State University System at a competitive disadvantage.

Inadequate appropriation for the U would undercut a delicate process of retrenchment and reallocation, President Magrath told the House education division Monday. If reallocation money has to be used "to bail ourselves out for price-level increases," he said, "it would fundamentally compromise my ability to work with the vice presidents, the faculty, and the students to undertake the retrenchment and reallocation we want in the next few years."

In a letter to the U community, President Magrath said that universities are "cherished repositories of culture and civilization" and "sanctuaries for creativity and reflection, for exploration and insight" and that people should not lose sight of the essential work of the U "even as we become annoyed over budgetary problems, inadequate resources, bureaucratic entanglements, or our own mistakes and fallibilities as human beings."

Congdon mansion in Duluth will be used as a museum and tourist attraction for 3-year trial period. Regents approved plan with stipulation that $300,000 be raised from private sources during the next 90 days to cover costs of readying the 39-room mansion for opera­ tion. Provost Heller of UMD reported that $234,000 has already been pledged.

Major replacement of U Hospitals could be completed by 1986 at an estimated cost of $113 million, regents were told. Replacement unit, which would be on the site now occupied by Powell Hall along the East River Road in Minneapolis, would replace about 400 beds and ease what, U officials called critical overcrowding problems.

Further work on a $17 million civil and mineral engineering building in Minneapolis was approved by the regents. Building, which is being designed by the architecture firm of Myers and Bennett, will be partially underground and almost entirely energy independent.

Regents passed resolution to set up regular meetings between U officials and members of the Indian community. Regents' educational policy and long-range planning committee will hear Indian concerns, and each campus will set up an Indian affairs advisory committee.

Regents heard reports from Benjamin Pomeroy, acting dean of College of Veterinary Medicine on a grant to the avian disease research program for a 3-year study of salmonella in turkeys, and Kenneth Whitby, professor of mechanical engineering, on a grant to the particle technology laboratory to study formation of atmospheric aerosols.

Federal government's influence was felt last week as U officials and legislators continued to dig into specific items in the U's $437 million legislative request. Federal law requiring equal opportunity for the handicapped could "literally break the state," said Rep. William Dean, IR-Minneapolis. VP Stein presented the U's request for $477,000 for more services for the handicapped. Request, which was included in governor's budget, would £und 3 administrative positions and pay for interpreters for deaf students.

Middle Ineome Student Assistance Act makes more students eligible for aid but creates prob­ lems in financial aid offices, VP Wilderson told legislators. U is seeking $841,314 to cover increased work load. Governor Quie has recommended that the U pay for new personnel by cutting back on financial aid money, a proposal Wilderson spoke against.

Money is needed to help the U attract outstanding graduate students, faculty lobbyist Ken Keller said. Bush Foundation gave the U $2 million for graduate fellowships in early 1970s when cuts were made in federal support, but the Bush program is now being phased out.

VP French discussed the unpredictable nature of the federal capitation program that pro­ vides a subsidy for each student in health sciences.

Editor: Maureen Smith (612) 373-7507 A weekly internal bulletin serving all campuses Rod Searle, speaker of Minnesota House of Representatives, said Friday that he will ask Governor Quie to reconsider his budget recommendations for the U. Searle told a group of faculty and student leaders that he will work to reduce the $42 million difference between the U's request and the governor'S\ recommendations. Searle praised President Magrath and VP Kegler for their lobbying talents. He told of a time in an earlier administration when a $350,000 appropriation failed because of an administrator's remark that was heard by a legislator. Middle-aged bulge is developing in the faculty, faculty member Rick Purple said. Many faculty members were hired in 1960s and will retire in 1990s. Purple said now would be a good time to hire available talent in a buyer's market and smooth out the bulge. Searle applauded the suggestion but said government does not lend itself well to long-range plans.

Legislators reacted sharply Tuesday to a statement by VP Stein that failure to fund women's sports would jeopardize federal funding for the U. Rep. William Dean, IR­ Minneapolis, called the statement a "gross exaggeration" and said political realities are such that the federal government is not going to cut off support for the U.

Recommendations for proxy voting on resolutions dealing with investments in South Africa and the sale of infant formula in developing countries will be presented to the regents \ Thursday. President Magrath will make a preliminary report Friday on progress toward : retrenching $3 million of internal operating money.

Liberal education is a commitment of·the U, not just the College of Liberal Arts, Dean Lukermann told the Senate Consultative Committee (SCC) March 1. Evidence is growing that a liberal education makes a difference in the way people think and that the difference is valued by employers, he said. Also: CLA is "tender" about being characterized as an under­ graduate college when half of the grad students on the TC campus are in CLA departments.

Crisis in CLA is the crisis in the whole U, Lukermann said; tendency in time of retrench­ ment is to retreat into traditional disciplines, cut back on innovative programs. Luker­ mann discussed some of the problems now faced by CLA in time of "poverty."

VP Stein told SCC he was "somewhat concerned" about sec resolution recommending that the U not seek state funds for TC men's athletics. Stein said issue is not likely to come up until 4 years from now but he would not want positions to be "hardened" in advance. Fred Morrison said resolution by SCC, an elected body, was needed to counteract impression that task force report recommending state funding represented views of most·faculty. SCC position "is not forever and a day any more than the task force report is," he said.

Reduced spending for athletics might actually increase the need for state support, Stein said. Fans might stay away if teams became perpetual also-rans or dropped out of Big 10. Program is now supported by gate ~eceipts but impact of inflation is being felt, he said. U group left for Cuba Sunday to discuss possible faculty-student exchanges. Team members are LaVern Freeh, director of Office of International Programs; Dean Neal Gault, Medical School; Dean James Tammen, College of Agriculture; Dean Richard Caldecott, College of Biological Sciences; and Dale Sorensen, chairman of Large Animal Clinical Sciences.

Vol. IX No. 10 March 14, 1979

Editor: Maureen Smith (612) 373-7507 A weekly internal bulletin serving all campuses

Course-teacher evaluation document will be presented to U Senate March 29. Proposal by Senate Committee on Educational Policy includes dissemination of results of evaluation for use by students in course selection. Inclusion of results on particular courses and teachers would be "at the voluntary discretion of the teachers involved."

Seven stockholder resolutions were approved by regents Friday: 5 applying to companies ~~~~~----~~~~~~~doing business in South Africa, 2 to companies promoting sale of infant formula in Third World countries. Six other resolutions were held over. Only those supported by both President Magrath and Committee on Social Responsibility in Investments were approved.

Open meeting law clearly applies to regents' meetings (which are open), but it is "not at all clear if the law reaches to meetings of administrators and their staffs," President Magrath reported. He said U attorney Joel Tierney is preparing a legal interpretation. Daily and other journalists have criticized administration for holding closed meetings.

President Magrath asked regents to discuss the role of liberal arts education at a future board meeting. He said he wants to find ways to communicate the value of liberal arts to the rest of the state. "I have never accepted the idea that there has to be a split between vocational and liberal arts education," Magrath said.

Stephen Roszell was approved by the regents as director of alumni relations and executive director of the alumni association. He will succeed Vincent Bilotta. Roszell, 29, has been director of alumni activities at the U of Hissouri since 1975.

Regents voted to accept $196,000 gift from Variety Club. Money will pay for a study on feasibility of adding 3 floors to Unit K-E in Minneapolis for cardiovascular research.

Student Concerns Committee heard report on Student Legal Service after its first year. Director Phillip Fishman said preliminary results of a consumer survey show high satis­ faction, but he said more students should be made aware of the service.

Edith Leyasmeyer told regents about a $738,931 federal renewal contract to fund the Area Health Education Center, which she heads. Jerome Moss, Jr., reported on program review of vocational and technical education department, which he said is one of best in country.

Regent Moore praised faculty for "a tremendous job" of attracting grant money. Awards accepted for January are up more than $300,000 from last January. "We are competing with colleges and universities all over the country and doing a better job," Moore said.

Four regents were elected or reelected by the legislature Monday: incumbents Lauris Krenik and Mary Schertler and new members Charles Casey and William Oosland.

Student leaders told legislators last week that they support Governor Quie's proposal to hold tuition increases to 7% per year. "A 7% increase would not only be acceptable, but it would be a welcome surprise compared to the tuition increases of the last several years," said student lobbyist Colleen Kelley. AI Senstad, TC student body president, presented a "tuition cost containment petition," which he said had 7,000 signatures.

Prepared for the Office of the President qy the Department of University Relatior and distributed through departmental offices VP Wilderson and students testified in favor o~.a $!·million biennial request to slow the increasing dropout rate among minority and·other ~isadvantaged students. About 85% of the minority students who enter the U drop out before they complete their degree programs, said student Ingrid Washinawatok. Proposal is for more counseling and student centers. Women's intercollegiate, athletics are "seriously underfunded" when compared with men's, VP Stein told legislators. Example: female athletes drive or take the bus to some athletic contests while men fly. Stein was testifying in favor of $1.4 million requested increase for TC women's athletics and men's and women's programs on coordinate campuses. Joseph Rust has been named superintendent of the North Central School and Experiment Station at Grand Rapids. He succeeds William Matalamaki, who died last August.

Vol. IX No. 11 March 21, 1979 Editor: Maureen Smith (612) 373-7507 A weekly internal bulletin serving all campuses

How to distribute faculty salary increases will be topic for President Magrath and faculty March 27, 2-4 p.m. in 238 Morrill Hall, with phone hookups to coordinate campuses. Dis­ cussion will be general; amount to be distributed awaits legislative action. Governor Quie in his education message March 15 recommended funding of $1 million for a retention program for minority students at the U. Addition of the $1 million was the only amendment to the governor's January budget plan for the U. Change resulted from several meetings between U administrators and members of Quie's staff, VP Wilderson said. Minnesota ranked 5th among American universities in amount of federal funds received in fiscal 1977, President Magrath told the Senate education subcommittee. Total of $92.7 million includes $8.3 million federal share of pharmacy-nursing building on TC campus. Increase of $5.7 million was largest among the top 12. List of schools receiving federal fUnds was headed by Howard with $115.9 million. Other universities receiving more funds than Minnesota were MIT, U.of Washington, and UCLA. U ranked 7th in 1976.

S~x new buildings tot!.!ling $34 ,I~Jillion !.!re among the items in a $100 million capital request th/ilt U o'fficials outlined Friday for Gov. Quie and members of his administration. President Magrath and VP Brown said major projects have already received partial legisla­ tive approval in the form of money for planning and working drawings. Request goes to both the 1979 and the 1980 sessions of the legislature. Barth-sheltered structure to house TC civil and mineral engineering department is largest item in request. Building would cost $17.2 million. Brown said the building is intended to be energy self-sufficient and would be a national demonstration project. Federal and private money would pay for experiments in solar heating and natural lighting. Remodeling older buildings would become long-range priority if all proposed projects were approved, Magrath said in response to a question from Lt. Gov. Wangberg. Current request includes $9.4 million for remodeling and rehabilitating TC campus buildings. Proposed $3 million building for School of Business and Economics at UMD would complete the major construction planned for that campus, Magrath said. Morris is basically a developed campus and new funds will be for remodeling and renovation, he said. Major request for Crookston is a $3.4 million physical education and outdoor recreation complex. Request for Waseca is $1.7 million for a classroom addition for farm machinery repair classes, a building for showing livestock, and renovation of a plant services area. "Substantial investment" would have to be made to study the feasibility of remodeling Memorial Stadium for professional athletics, President Magrath said in response to a question by Gov. Quie. Study cited by Don Riley in St. Paul Pioneer Press is 6 years out of date, VP Brown said. Memorial Stadium is 50 years old, and by now "it might be cheaper to tear it down and start over," Brown said.

Seven proxy resolutions requesting changes in companies doing business in South Africa will come before regents this week. Regents also will consider administration recommenda­ tion that the MPIRG contract be extended for 2 more years and that the amount collected each quarter from students be increased from $1 to $1.25 in 1979 and $1.50 in 1980.

Plan for evaluation of faculty members and the courses they teach was approved March 29 by U Senate. Results will be published, but individual teachers may choose not to have reports of their own evaluations published. Some students expressed concern that those with low ratings would choose to keep results out of published account.

Strong student desire for an evaluation process will bring it about one way or another and "faculty have a right to see that they are evaluated in a fair way," said Ken Keller of chemical engineering. Lawrence Goodman of civil and mineral engineering said evalu­ ation would encourage "further massive grade inflation," but Keller said it was unreason­ able to assume faculty members would grade higher as a result of the evaluation. Single-purpose meeting of U Senate May 31 will consider Watson report on decision making and consultation at the U. President Magrath will respond to the report at that time.

Governor Quie has added $6 miHim1 to his 'budget recommendations for the U. Changes were announced Friday to education division of House Appropriations Committee. i Two items in Quie's revisions--one for hazardous waste disposal and another for improve­ ! ments in student registration system--had already been acted upon by the division. Both Quie and the division recommended $167,000 for hazardous waste disposal, an item for which U officials say costs have been increasing rapidly.

Division approved $250,000 more than the U requested for an improved registration system. U officials said new system would shorten lines and improve data for scheduling classes. Rep. William Dean, IR-Minneapolis, urged added funding to "speed up this matter and get it over with once and for all." Action would provide $1.2 million over the biennium.

Division trimmed Quie's recommended funding for maintenance of new buildings. Quie recommended $1.7 million, with $626,000 in projected fuel increases to be handled through a contingency fund. Division allocated $1.2 million, including the $626,000.

Quie added a $1 million item to replace equipment that has become obsolete or worn out.

Quie recommended $1.2 million for women's intercollegiate athletics but recommended against funding a request for men's sports on coordinate campuses.

Handicapped services program requested by the U and recommended by Quie was trimmed last week by the division, which cut 3 requested positions. Rep. Michael Sieben, DFL-Newport, said the U should contract for special tutors and for interpreters for the deaf instead of adding positions to the budget. U officials expressed surprise and disappointment.

House education division Tuesday approved a $400,000 biennial increase for minority retention program. Quie had recommended $1 million in his March 15 education message.

Vol. IX No. 16 April 25, 1979 A weekly internal bulletin serving all campuses Editor: Maureen Smith (612) 373-7507 Regents' position on doming of Memorial Stadium was changed last week from "cooperative neutrality" to cautious expression of interest if certain conditions are met. President Magrath said the U's position is not one of advocacy or campaigning. VP Brown told neighborhood group Friday that Vikings (but not Twins) could be tenants in the stadium.

Primary use of stadium would have to be for intercollegiate and recreational sports at the U, regents said. Other conditions: that the stadium be under regents' control, that it be built on a "solid financial plan," that it not have a negative impact on facilities requested from legislature for academic purposes, that there be "reasonable and respon­ sible" resolution of neighborhood and environmental concerns. Payment of $375,000 will be made to HEW in settlement of dispute over $28 million the U charged against federal grants in 1972-74. Auditors said in 1977 that records of faculty researchers' time were not detailed enough; new record keeping system began in 1975. VP Brown said U officials are still "reluctant to accept some of the methodology" used in audit but agreed to settlement to avoid further expenditure of time and funds on case. Plans to seek more money from Minnesotans for Hubert H. Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs were suggested Friday when advisory committee headed by former governor Orville Freeman met with U administrators and faculty. Total of $13.5 million has been raised so far. Curtis Carlson of Carlson Companies, the first $1 million contributor to the institute, said goal of $20 million can still be reached. Several people spoke of asking legislature for funds and possibly making a direct appeal to citizens of the state. Part of discussion was on question of whether HHH Institute should remain in CLA or be "free-standing." President Magrath said it should avoid pitfall of being developed as a separatist component. He said it "should have a strong and individual identity" but should be structured to draw on strengths and talents of faculty in many disciplines.

President Magrath is proposing that about $500,000 in 1979-80 salary funds be set aside for making additional unit merit/equity adjustments. Implementation would depend on legislative appropriations. Details in April 16 memo to department heads.

Ad hoc committee is reviewing performance of deputy VP and dean William Hueg, Jr., as required by constitution of Institute of Agriculture, Forestry, and Home Economics.

Deterioration and obsolescence of scientific instruments and equipment is a pressing problem for researchers, President Magrath said last week in testimony before subcommittee of U.S. House Committee on Appropriations. Magrath urged appropriation of federal funds to reverse e~osion of support for research equipment in recent years.

Decade of 1980s will be marked by declining enrollments, low faculty turnover, an aging faculty, and "sharply diminished career opportunities for even the brightest young faculty," Magrath said, and some new and temporary means may be needed "to insure a continued flow of the most highly trained young people into the nation's universities." He said the problem is complex but may not require vast sums of money to solve. Third problem cited by Magrath was declining federal support for graduate students. Hi her education a ro riations bill was passed by the Minnesota House Monday. The bill contains 18.7 million in increases for the U for the 1979-81 biennium, compared with $25.5 million in Senate Finance Committee bill. Differences will be negotiated in a conference committee.

Reallocation decisions will be postponed until after the legislature has acted on the biennial request, President Magrath said in an April 18 letter to the U community. Units and colleges.have submitted more than ;650 requests totaling more than $10 million~

Divestment of South African investments will be the subject of a public debate by Presi­ dent Magrath, a representative of Leon Sullivan, and divestment advocates Dennis Brutus and Jennifer Davis at noon May 2 in Coffman Great Hall.

State open meeting law does not apply to internal workings of the U, President Magrath said; he said administrative meetings should remain private but meetings of legislative groups should be opened voluntarily. U's stand on administrative meetings is same as at "virtually every other state agency, board, commission, and public entity," Magrath said. Colleges. and campuses should specify which meetings perform legislative and policymaking functions and which deal strictly with management functions so that a consistent policy can be developed and publicized, Magrath said. He said U Senate should identify any exceptions to a policy of openness. Magrath said Planning Council meetings would be open and he would recommend that Senate Consultative Committee meet with him in open sessions.

Vol. IX No. 20 May 23, 1979

Editor: Maureen Smith (612) 373-7507 A weekly internal bulletin serving all campuses Henry Koffler, VP for academic affairs, has accepted the post of chancellor for the U of Massachusetts at Amherst. Appointment is subject to approval by Massachusetts trustees. Koffler came to U in 1975 from Purdue, where he chaired biological sciences department. President Magrath said he has never worked with anyone who worked as hard as Koffler. "I not only like him, but I value him and will personally miss him, n Magrath said.

Le islature a ro riated $443.6 million to the U for the next 2 years, an increase of 53.5 million on current base. U had requested increase of $99.5 million. Bill author­ izes an additional U expenditure of $158.2 million in estimated income from tuition and other sources. Income figure assumes tuition increases will be held to 7% per year.

Faculty salary funds were calculated on basis of 7% increase per year, plus fringe benefits. Plan for allocation of increases is being developed this week. Tentative plan is to distribute some across the board and the remainder on merit basis. Legislature also granted $500,000 for equity and 11 retention" increases. Tentative pay plan for civil service staff, subject to administrative review and regents' approval, includes conversion increases July 1, and 2 performance increases and 2 cost-of­ living raises later in biennium. Conversion increases would be 4.64% for Schedule A, an average of 6.86% for Schedule B, and 5.57% for Schedule C.

Dental coverage and life insurance benefits will increase July 1 for faculty and staff, but U payment of costs of dependent health insurance will be capped at $60 a month or 90% of total cost, whichever is greater. Also, a holiday was added, bringing total to 10.

Final bill from legislature is more than $7 million more than Governor Quie recommended, but legislature appropriated less than Quie recommended for handicapped student services and minority student retention. Retention program was funded at $700,000, a compromise between the $400,000 passed by the House and the $1 million approved by the Senate and Quie. U received $337,200 of requested $477,100 to improve handicapped services.

Legislature provided $1.2 million for women's intercollegiate athletics but no funds for men's sports on coordinate campuses. Bill includes a rider asking the U to develop a plan for merging departments of men's and women's intercollegiate athletics on the TC campus.

A $1.2 million a the purchase of new instructional equipment was approved, and 500,000 was provided to replace and repair equipment. Only $900,000 of a requested $11.1 million was funded to cover projected increases in costs of supplies. Rider provides that U may keep 2.5% of indirect costs charged to grants obtained from federal and private sources as an incentive to seek outside income. Total of $51 million was approved late Monday for U building projects. Major new buildings will be $15.8 million civil and mineral engineering building in Minneapolis, $13.6 million veterinary medicine building in St. Paul, $7 million building in St. Paul for vocational and technical programs, $3.4 million physical education and outdoor recreation complex in Crookston, $3.2 million business and economics building in Duluth, and $2 million facilities for poultry research in St. Paul.

List will also be printed in July Report, along with summary of legislative appropriations for 1979-81. President Magrath will respond to Watson committee recommendations at U Senate meeting May 31 at 3:15, and Senate Consultative Committee (SCC) subcommittee will submit report.

New division of committees into senate committees, educational policy committees, and academic system committees is recommended by sec subcommittee, which said division into senate and U committees has been "neither understood nor notably successful."

More committee slots should be ;filled by senators, sec group said; new procedures for assigning faculty and students to committees are proposed. Only 29 of 270 slots for faculty on senate and U committees are now filled by senators (not counting SCC).

Large collese voting units should be divided into departments or clusters of small departments for U Senate elections, the subcommittee recommends.

Consulting relationship between SCC and the president should be duplicated (a) between SCEP and the VP for academic affairs, (b) between SCRAP and the VP for administration and planning, and (c) between UCBRBR and the VP for finance, the subcommittee proposes. Complete text of subcommittee report appeared in senate docket in May 24 Daily.

Two-year budgeting plan has been proposed by committee chaired by VP Brown. Budget processes and biennial appropriations would be staggered: budgeting would be for the second year of one biennium and first year of the next. Few additions in funding would be requested for the first year of a biennium, and any cuts would also be postponed. Report says budgeting now is "a continual effort to beat the clock."

Budget executive--either the president or one or more of the VPs designated by the president and functioning in a single role--would be the same for all budgetary units. Series of about 40 budget conferences between the budget executive and the heads of primary budget divisions would begin in September 1979 and conclude in December 1979.

Vol. IX No. 22 June 6, 1979 .A weekly internal bulletin serving all campuses Editor: Maureen Smith (612) 373-7507 Budget is big item on regents' packed agenda this week. They will hear reports on the U's expenditures and total income from all sources and will consider such specific budget matters as reallocation proposals and tuition for next year. Regents will decide what to do about 12 faculty members who have decided not to retire because of changes in mandatory retirement legislation. Lengthy discussion of proposed medical-surgical replacement unit (Unit J) for U Hospitals is also expected. Al Linck, associate VP for academic affairs, has agreed to serve as acting VP, President Magrath announced last week. National search will be conducted to find a successor to VP Koffler. Membership of search committee will be announced within a few days. Reallocation recommendations were modified after President Magrath heard faculty concerns and consulted with Senate Consultative Committee and U Committee on Biennial Request and Budget Review. Amount for academic contingency fund was reduced from $275,000 to $175,000 and amount for matching fund reserve grants from $100,000 to $50,000. Faculty leaders had argued that central reserves, though needed, should take a smaller slice of reallocation. Four colle iate units were given more in modified plan: an increase of $100,000 for CLA, 20,000 for Education, $15,000 for GC, and $15,000 for CEE. At hearing May 29, several CLA department chairs told of difficulties they would face if cuts were not restored. Institute of Technology received largest net gain ($222,273) in reallocation process. CLA now gains $88,548 (but $55,000 of $430,417 reallocation is earmarked for Humphrey Institute and $55,417 for phasing out music fees). Other gains: Business ($50,115), Student Affairs ($47,186), Public Health ($29,074), Dentistry ($24,282), Law ($21,467).

Subcommittee of 3--Robert Brasted, Vera Schletzer, and Don Browne--will pull together recommendations of senate committees and present plan of action to senate. President Magrath told U Senate that he does not plan any fundamental changes in the structure of his administration in response to the Watson report, but he said he has taken steps to clarify the role of the VP for academic affairs. Senate discussed proposals of Spring subcommittee on changes in senate structure. Don Spring, subcommittee chair, said the group was unable to find any committees to abolish but still hopes some committees can be merged.

Vol. IX No. 23 June 13, 1979

Editor: Maureen Smith (612) 373-7507 A weekly internal bulletin serving all campuses Regents voted to extend mandatory retirement age from 68 to 70. Vote was unanimous, but several regents said they disagree with the principle of raising the retirement age. Of the 15 faculty members affected, 4 have said they will probably retire this year anyway. Bill for keeping the other 11 on for 2 more years will come to $341,000, VP Stein said. Legislature will probably be asked for a deficiency appropriation to cover the cost. Promotion and tenure recommendations effective in 1979-80 were approved by the regents after board members expressed their intention to review the philosophy and method of granting tenure at a future meeting. Regents approved a proposal to authorize the hiring of an architect and a program con­ sultant for a major remodeling and replacement of U Hospitals facilities expected to cost between $175 and $188 million if it is completed by 1986. Proposal endorses only the preparation of a master plan, which the regents would then consider. Legislative appropriation was "in many respects better than one might have expected in late January," President Magrath told the regents. He credited efforts of VP Kegler, regents, faculty, students.

VP Kegler said 1979 was "an unusually successful year" for ga1nmg building funds. Regent Lebedoff observed that nit's easier to get money for bricks than for instruction" and cautioned against submitting large building requests. Regent Moore expressed concern that it seemed to be easier to get funds for new buildings than for remodeling.

Tuition will increase an average 7% next fall if regents approve increase at July meeting. Tuition for largest group of U students (including CLA, GC, and UMM students) would increase from $271 to $290 a quarter for residents, from $772 to $798 for nonresidents.

Regents confirmed Al Linck as acting VP for academic affairs, effective Aug 6.

Robert Dunlop was named dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine. He is dean of the School of Veterinary Studies at Murdoch U in Western Australia. VP Stein gave regents an update on U adffiissions policies and procedures in the aftermath of the Bakke decision. Affirmative action at the U is in better shape in June 1979 than it was in June 1978 when the Bakke decision was reached, Stein said.

Wenda Moore was elected to a second 2-year term as chairman of the board. Robert Latz was elected vice chairman, after 4 roll call votes resulted in a tie between Latz and Lauris Krenik. After a 5-minute recess, Krenik withdrew. Finals week issue of the Daily was "in poor taste," regents' resolution said. Issue included a story on a fictitious mass student suicide on the mall and a mock interview with Jesus Christ. Regents voted to lodge a complaint with Board of Student Publications. Four faculty members--Benham Lockhart, David Davis, Jay Meiske, and William Olson--left last week as part of the first academic exchange program with Cuba since 1971.

Editor: Maureen Smith (612) 373-7507 A weekly internal bulletin serving all campuses Student Course Information Project results have been published and are being distributed to TC campus students, who began signing up for fall classes Monday. More than 300 courses and course sections were surveyed last spring for the pilot project jointly sponsored by student government and the office of the VP for academic affairs.

Regents voted 9-3 to maintain mandatory student fee support of the Minnesota Daily. Board adopted a 4-point resolution that calls for no immediate change in the way the fee is collected and says that any future change must come through the normal fee-setting process. Regents Casey, Krenik, and Peterson voted against the motion. Journalistic code of ethics is to be drafted by the Board of Student Publications and pre­ sented to the regents in January along with the publications board's recommendations for changes in its own structure. Regents also approved a plan to post official U notices on bulletin boards in addition to printing them in the Daily. Changes in tuition policy were recommended in a report presented by VP Wilderson. Tuition would be charged by the credit instead of by the quarter, and all first- and second-year students would pay the same rates. Students who do not take the traditional "full load" now pay more for their education by the time they get their degrees, Wilderson said.

Several regents voiced concern about the effect that per-credit tuition could ha-ve on the U. Essential nature of the U might be changed "from a place where people take a full schedule to a place where you have a lot of in-and-out students," Regent Lebedoff said. Regents will continue to discuss tuition plan at future meetings.

Regents approved a motion to borrow $7 million to construct a steam power generator and build a steam distribution system that \v-ould connect the Minneapolis campus, Augsburg College, and St. Mary's and Fairview Hospitals. Money will pay for the first phase of a project that will eventually heat Augsburg and the hospitals, allow the U to sell elec­ tricity to NSP, and burn all contaminated wastes within a IS-mile radius of the campus.

Supplemental life insurance of $10,000 for "management employees" was approved by the regents; management employees are defined as all staff on Management Salary Plan and academic employees at rank of assistant dean and above. U did not seek the benefit but decided to accept it as a new benefit provided by the state at no cost to the U. Senate Committee on Faculty Affairs has been asked for advice on participation in future years. Landscape Arboretum in Chaska was site of regents' meeting. Regents heard about the arboretum from director Francis deVos in a luncheon talk.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission has cited the U for 14 violations in handling of radioactive materials and has asked for payment pf $4,300 in civil penalties. President Magrath said the U will not contest the fine. "Our first concern is for the health and safety of all personnel," he said. Magrath said mpst of the problems have already been corrected and staff and equipment have been added to the radiation protection program.

NRC sanctions follow inspections made last December and January after the U reported that 3 microbiology lab employees had received more than the maximum allowable exposure to iodine-125. Most of the major violations involved other instances of overexposure to radioactive materials, failure to me~sure exposure of employees, release of radioactive materials into the air, or failure to measure airborne radioactivity.

President Magrath pointed out that t~e U has conducted a radiation protection program for 25 years and this is the first time there has been a problem serious enough to warrant a fine. "So we have a good track record. But obviously we need to do better. And we will." Proposed changes in tuition policy wlll be discussed by regents this week.

She will serve until a successor to VP Koffler is named. Position has been held by Shirley Clark, who is returning to teaching in the College of Education.

Student leaders who came to the regents meeting Thursday to argue against "hasty action" on proposed changes in tuition policy were told that the board had no plans for immediate action. Major concern of students was that no changes be considered until students were back on campus and had a chance to study the proposal. VP Wilderson said the plan has been under consideration for 2 years and students have been included in the discussions.

Per-credit tuition would give a break to part-time students. Regent Lebedoff said result might be to change the quality of education at the U. He said shift from full-time to part-time study would not necessarily be bad but could cause fundamental changes in the institution that should be studied, especially by students themselves. Regents held over until next month a resolution to grant a certain amount of U business to small and minority-owned businesses. VP Brown outlined proposed procedure that would give 2% bid advantage to small business and 5% advantage to minority-owned businesses.

Regent Schettler protested that the proposal would not comply with state legislation passed last May, which requires public institutions to set aside a certain number of bids for which only small and minority-owned businesses could compete. Brown said the proposal would achieve the same result and would be compatible with existing purchasing procedures.

Regents voted to purchase the Mutual Services Building, 1919 University Ave., St. Paul, for $3.7 million and to "liquidate" 3 other buildings the U owns. Purchase of the build­ ing will allow the U to consolidate support units now strung out along University Ave.

Enrollment of 56,290 is a new record, up 1,087 from last fall. U officials had projected a slight increase but were surprised at all-time high. All 5 campuses reported increases, and UMC, UMD, and UMW set records. Enrollment by campus: Twin Cities 45,765, Duluth 6,855, Morris 1,450, Waseca 1,111, and Crookston 1,109.

Proposal to merge men's and women's intercollegiate athletic programs was discussed by regents. Possible danger cited by VP Stein: men's programs have been around longer and "without determined leadership we might end up with men heading the various departments and women acting as their assistants." Stein said women's program is one of the strongest in the country and there is concern that merger might destroy gains that have been made.

Three resolutions on athletics were presented by Stein; action is expected in November. One underscores value of athletics, one calls for equal athletic opportunity for men and women, one asks that regents urge athletic conferences to curb practices that may be pricing intercollegiate athletics out of the market. Regents approved proposal to set aside a certain percentage of U business for small and minority-owned businesses. President Magrath said some faculty are concerned that the plan will slow purchasing procedures and get in the way of research efforts. Regent Latz said plan may not be the most efficient but "we have to give it a shot." Remodeling Nicholson Hall would take more than the $1.9 million legislative appropriation, President Magrath told regents. VP Brown said at least $3 million more is needed to refur­ bish the 90-year-old building, which is in "atrocious condition." Dean Lupton of GC said part of the building is unsafe and one corner is sinking. Options are to do nothing, tear down building and construct another, or ask for the extra money to do a complete job.

Regents questioned whether their new emphasis on remodeling rather than building is realistic. "Renovation is costing us a fortune," Regent Lebedoff said.

Regents heard a proposal to build a 16-unit apartment building to house 64 students at Waseca. Housing space is needed by fall 1980, Provost Frederick said. He said the connnunity is not building the. spaces needed for students.

Regents approved President Magrath's request for a legislative coordinating and budget committee of regents to arrive at an operating budget for 1980-81, the biennial request for 1981-83, a draft budget for 1981-82, and a 6-year capital request plan. Committee will work closely with the president and the budget executive. Fred Estes, personnel administrator for the Medical School on the TC campus, is new member of Civil Service Committee. Appointment was approved by the regents.

Seven UMC students aired their concerns about Crookston facilities, tuition policy, and minority student services. Regents' meeting was in Crookston.

Vol. IX No. 39 November 14, 1979

Editor: Maureen Smith (612) 373-7507 .IJ.. weekly internal bulletin serving all campuses Student leaders Bryan Jamison from UMM and Sue Gjemse from TC campus expressed doubts to regents about proposed tuition plan. Jamison said the plan would hurt students at Waseca and Crookston, where course loads are relatively heavy. Both said effects on minority­ group students, on enrollment, and on quality of education must be measured.

Regents approved 3 resolutions on intercollegiate athletics. One says that the U will continue to compete at current level and financial support might be sought from the legis­ lature at some point. VP Stein said he does not expect the legislature to be asked for help with the men's program in the next few years.

Two proposed sites for Humphrey Institute building were viewed by regents. Board already accepted a plan to construct the building on top of an unfinished building on the east bank of the Minneapolis campus, but President Magrath said more space is needed to handle the needs of the institute. Alternative site at Oak and Washington was proposed. Regents asked the administration to draft plans for a 3rd site on the west bank. John Borchert, geography, has been named interim director of Humphrey Institute .. He succeeds John Adams, who will return to teaching. Dean Lukermann of CLA said the search for a permanent director has been extended to allow consideration of top quality candi­ dates who were not available for an immediate change from their present positions.

Planning conferences with all U units have been completed, President Magrath told regents. He said the "budget executive is familiar with the issues raised in the planning process" because acting VP Linck, who chairs the 3-person budget executive, sat in on all meetings. Budget executive meetings with units are under way. Linck said that when budget decisions are announced the reasons for decisions will also be made public.

Staff members packed Morrill Hall conference room to hear discussion of biweekly payroll. VP Brown made a presentation on the proposal. Staff members LaVerne Clegg, Betty Jo Points, Deanna Smith, Joyce Brady, and M.E. Kendall spoke against the plan as now pro­ posed; Carol Ostrow spoke in favor of it. Brown said pay for civil service staff would be delayed 8 working days. Regents will discuss plan again before taking action.

VP Kegler gave regents an update on current status of U capital request to the legisla­ ture, which includes about $63 million for remodeling projects and new buildings.

Regents amended capital request to include $3.6 million to remodel Nicholson Hall. Earlier $1.9 million appropriation is not enough to make minimum changes necessary, VP Brown said. Plan to build 16 apartments for 64 students on the Waseca campus at a cost of $627,000 was approved. Money for the apartments will be borrowed and repaid through room charges.

Eldred Smith, director of U Libraries, and Andrea Hinding, director of Walter Library, explained archives space needs and programs to the regents. After hearing several con­ struction options, regents decided to stick with the request for $2 million to remodel the Berry Street archives building that is currently before the legislature.

Public hearing last week on funding of the Daily was virtually ignored by those who ex­ pressed strong criticism of the finals week issue last spring. Most speakers supported the current method of funding the Daily. Chicano activist Ray Roybal opposed funding for the Daily, which he called a "white racist newspaper." President Magrath said steps to correct bias against minority groups in student elections were already taken before federal government stepped in. U was notified in Oct. 24 letter from HEW Office for Civil Rights that it has 90 days to correct problems or risk loss of federal support. Charges of discrimination against Chicano students were filed in 1977. NSF has awarded more than $1.4 million for establishment of a regional surface-analysis center at the U.

Vol. IX No. 41 December 5, 1979

Editor: Maureen Smith (612) 373-7507 Donald Brown, VP for finance, has announced that he will leave the U March 1, 1980, to "return to the private sector." He has no specific plans. President Magrath expressed regret, said he appreciates Brown's creative services to the U over the past decade.

Enrollment of black students has fallen, but enrollment of Hispanic American and Asian/ Pacific students is up. Totals are 988 black students, 882 Asian/Pacific Islanders, 462 Hispanic Americans, and 348 American Indian/Alaskan students. Total minority enrollment by campus: Twin Cities 2,407 (up from 2,245 last year), Duluth 174 (down from 180), Morris 64 (down from 79), Crookston 37 (up from 18), Waseca 3 (up from 2). Constitutional amendment that would have added 8 student seats on U Senate to provide representation for minority groups and international students was defeated. Minority stu­ dents spoke on both sides. After amendment failed, President Magrath asked senate leaders to consider other ways that participation of minority students might be enhanced. Total student representation on the senate would have increased from 32% to 35%. Regents' Professor John Turner opposed increase, saying that student attendance at senate meetings has been low (42% last year compared to 82% for faculty) and that "we have been subjected to one episode after another of rinky-dink politics." Turner raised question of whether "the faculty should pull away and set up its own system of governance."

Faculty Senate voted to approve principle of "E" (academic staff) appointments for appro­ priate groups with understanding that individuals not be moved to "E" without their per­ mission and that senate be consulted on which categories of positions should be classi­ fied "E." Amendments calling for consultation with affected groups and consultation with senate on provision of academic freedom for academic staff were added to motion.

Library senators presented an amendment that was defeated. Amendment would have endorsed academic staff appointments for limited appointment titles and administrative titles only and deferred approval of extending the "E" class to other personnel categories.

Senate Consultative Committee (SCC) will review tuition proposal at Dec. 6 meeting. Presi­ dent Magrath told the SCC Nov. 29 that he intends to recommend a per-credit tuition propo­ sal to the regents for action in December. He said the proposal has been influenced by earlier signals from sec and is better because of the discussion that has taken place. McKnight Foundation has given $1 million to endow a program of merit scholarships at the U.

Vol. IX No. 42 December 12, 1979

Editor: Maureen Smith (612) 373-7507 A weekly internal bulletin serving all campuses

President Magrath will present new tuition proposal to the regents for action this week. Tuition would be assessed on a per-credit basis up to 14 credits and beyond 18 credits, with a plateau from 14 through 18 credits. Uniform tuition rate would be charged for most freshmen and sophomores; tuition rates for juniors and seniors would be tied to actual cost of instruction in different colleges.

Exception granted to Crookston and Waseca campuses would mean that UMC and UMW students would pay a lower tuition rate than other first- and second-year students. Tuition rates at Morris would be the same as in CLA, in spite of the higher unit cost of instruction at UMM, and UMM students would be allowed to take up to 20 credits for the same cost as 14.

Tuition plan was endorsed by the Senate Consultative Committee (SCC) Dec. 6. SCC asked that further action on tuition be moved through regular senate channels and that the regents undertake a review of the impact of the new plan after reasonable period of time.

Statements by student leaders indicated that opposition to the tuition plan has softened. Sue Gjemse raised questions about procedure but said that if given the chance to approve or oppose the plan, she would vote to approve. Jim Clark said most of his reservations have been answeyed. John Weis continued in opposition and characterized the jump in tuition after 90 credits as a "bait and switch tactic."

Plans for the Humphrey Institute will also be voted on by the regents. Recommendations will be preseated by the Humphrey Institute Advisory Committee and by President Magrath.

Law professor Leo Raskind will chair a subcommittee of the Senate Committee on Faculty Affairs that will consider the problem of sexual harassment at the U.

Graduate School will use a $625,000 grant from the Northwest Area Foundation to hire 6 young faculty members in the physical sciences. Grant will help the U introduce younger talent into departments with a high percentage of older faculty, Dean Ibele said. Six new positions will be in fields that have been found to have a particularly low percentage of younger faculty members: chemistry, biochemistry, mathematics, physics, and geology.
