On recommendation of the Vice-President and Chief Financial
Officer, the Regents approved the following procedures concerning the
publication by microfilm of doctoral dissertations, publication by photoduplication of out-of-print University books and journals such as the
Michigan Business Review, and items of rare value, and procedures for
photoduplication of materials in the University libraries, including the
General Library and the Clements Library:
1. The publication of doctoral dissertations be administered under rules and
regulations that will make available publication either by microfilm under agreement
between University Microfilms, Inc., and the individual student or by other choices
of publication to the student.
2. The publication of out-of-print books and journals and items of rare value
by photoduplication be authorized on a contract basis through normal University
contracting procedures, upon terms and conditions that will reasonably compensate
the University for the materials furnished, either on a cost-reimbursement basis, a
royalty basis, or a combination of the two bases.
3. Photoduplication of library materials be authorized under rules and regulations recommended by the Directors of the Clements Library, the General Library,
and other operating units and approved by the Vice-President for Academic Affairs;
such rules and regulations to provide a method for orderly photoduplication of
library materials pursuant to contracts or purchase orders in a manner that will not
interfere with normal University operations and will adequately compensate the
University for such use of the materials, either on a cost-reimbursement basis, a
royalty basis, or a combination of the two bases.
4. No exclusive rights shall be granted pursuant to the foregoing authorizations.
On recommendation of the Vice-President and Chief Financial
Officer, the Regents designated $1,624,232.61 from the undesignated
account of the $55 Million Program for the Central Campus Library
(pp. 1020 and 710).
On recommendation of the Vice-President for Academic Affairs,
the Regents approved the establishment of an Institute for the Study
of Mental Retardation, of which Dr. William M. Cruickshank, Director
of the Division of Special Education and Rehabilitation at Syracuse
University, will become the Director on February 1, 1967 (p. 1507). The
Vice-President for Academic Affairs said financial support in the amount
of 80 to 90 per cent of the cost would come from federal sources.
Regent Murphy, herself a social worker of wide experience, expressed the hope that the children who would be patients in these studies
would not be regarded as merely laboratory material. "They now too
often are," she said, "deprived, unloved-society's exiles."
Regent Brablec said, "In Michigan great strides have been made in
the last decade in treating these children who are mentally retarded.
Many of them have entered our general society; many have trained
abilities which make them useful." Regent Brablec found the proposed
Institute and its aims "excellent potentialities."
On recommendation of the Vice-President for Academic Affairs, the
Regents, following their usual procedure, authorized the President or
the Vice-President for Academic Affairs to make such interim appointments as may become necessary to complete the staff for the opening
of the fall term, and to report such appointments to the Regents at
their September meeting (p. 966).
