In the case of present staff, other than assistants, a part of the adjustment to the
new minima is being deferred until the 1958-59 budget.
I recommend that this budget, covering the allocation of the estimated operating
income from all sources for the year beginning July 1, 1957, be approved;
and that the President of the University be authorized, in accordance with the
needs of the University and the equitable interests involved and within total income,
(a) to accept resignations, (b) to make such additional appointments as are
necessary, subject to the provisions of the University Statutes and the Policy and
Rules Relating to Compensation and Working Conditions of Nonacademic Employees,
and (c) to make such changes and adjustments in items included in the
budget as are needed, all such changes to be covered in the Vice-President and
Comptroller's quarterly financial report or in reports to the Board by its Secretary,
provided that assignments for new projects or programs and for nonrecurring
expenditures in excess of $2,500 shall be presented to the Board of Trustees for
prior approval.
President Livingston reported that members of the Board of Trustees,
working as a Committee of the Whole at a meeting held on July
15, 1957, reviewed the budget in detail in consultation with the President,
the Vice-President and Provost, and the Vice-President and
Comptroller of the University, and that this Committee supports the
budgetary recommendations with certain amendments which the Committee
made on its initiative.
President Henry reviewed the presentations he had made to the
Committee of the Whole based on the "Condensed Analysis and Summaries"
submitted to the Board along with the detailed budget in advance
of the meeting. Copies of all supporting documents are being
filed with the Secretary of the Board for record.
Following full discussion in which all of the Trustees present participated,
on motion of Mr. Johnston, the budget was adopted, the
schedule of minimum academic salaries was approved, the President of
the University was authorized to take the actions specified above, and
the necessary appropriations were made as recommended.
This action was taken by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Bissell, Mrs.
Holt, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Johnston, Mr. Livingston, Mr. Nickell, Mrs.
Watkins, Mr. Williamson; no, none; absent, Mr. Herrick, Mr. Stratton,
Mr. Swain.
