President Ehrlich reported that Professor Patrick O'Meara will succeed Professor Albert Rabinowitz for the two-year period 1993-95 as Dean for International Programs. He expressed his confidence in Professor O'Meara's ability to excel in this challenging position.
President Ehrlich noted that Professor Norm Overly was attending his last Board meeting as co-chair of the University Faculty Council, and that he would soon be leaving to assume the leadership of the Malaysia program. He thanked Professor Overly for his dedication.
President Ehrlich paid tribute to outgoing student trustee Eric Todd by awarding him the Thomas Hart Benton Medallion, given to individuals who have made particular contributions to Indiana University. He expressed his pleasure at being able to honor Trustee Todd in recognition of his outstanding service as student trustee.
He then presented to the Trustees a gavel carved from the Constitution Elm at Corydon, Indiana, and given to the University by Robert Griffin of IU Southeast.
Board President Walda expressed gratitude on behalf of all the Trustees for the gavel. He then called on Trustee Gonso for a resolution:
RESOLUTION
The Trustees of Indiana University acknowledge with grateful appreciation the outstanding service to Indiana University by Eric A. Todd as a member of the Board of Trustees from 1991 to 1993. Appointed by Governor Evan Bayh to the Board of Trustees as the student member, Eric Todd brought to his service a thoughtful consideration of all concerns that arose during his term, and a perceptive understanding of constituencies within the University. The Board benefitted greatly from his care in analyzing the issues, his willingness to express his views, his balanced judgment, and his good company.
Unanimously approved on motion duly made and seconded.
Trustee Todd introduced Kory Wilcoxson, newly-elected president of the student body at IU Southeast.
1. Remarks from Kory Wilcoxson, President, Student Association, IU Southeast
Mr. Wilcoxson welcomed the Trustees to IU Southeast. He observed that visitors to IU Southeast frequently remark on the beauty of the campus. He stated that the quality of the scenery at IU Southeast is excellent, but the quality of what happens inside the buildings is even higher. He reported that approximately 6,000 students are enrolled at IU Southeast, entrusting their money and education to the care of IU Southeast. In May, 636 students graduated. Over 80% of IU Southeast graduates live and work in the State of Indiana, and IU Southeast graduates live in over 45 states and six foreign countries. Degree holders from IU Southeast have gone on to become CEOs, judges, and lawyers, and one is the mayor of the City of New Albany. Mr. Wilcoxson attributed the success of IU Southeast graduates to a high quality of education, service, faculty, and staff. He stated that the personal and friendly attention each student receives contributes to students' academic and personal growth. Also helping to stimulate this growth are more than 40 extracurricular activities, including clubs, organizations, fraternities, sororities, and honor societies. He cited in particular the Minority Student Union, which has blossomed in recent years and which has been instrumental, along with admissions counselor Jackie Love, in recruiting and retaining minority students.
Mr. Wilcoxson stressed the necessity of growth at IU Southeast to parallel the growth of students. He stated that the addition of Knobview Hall is a step in the right direction, as will be the Cultural and Community Center. In addition, IU Southeast is important as a community leader in the development of Southern Indiana, and continued growth will require resources. IU Southeast is a full-fledged institution of higher learning where students are respected and quality is exemplary. Mr. Wilcoxson said that IU Southeast is guaranteeing Southern Indiana a successful future full of hard-working, well-trained, caring citizens, thus ensuring the maturation and cultural advancement of the community of today and the development of judges, mayors, and presidents of tomorrow.
Trustee Todd thanked Mr. Wilcoxson for his remarks, and he introduced Tonya Ebersole, newly-elected president of the student association at IU East.
2. Remarks from Tonya Ebersole, President, Student Association, IU East
Ms. Ebersole spoke of the rapid growth experienced at IU East in the past several years, both in enrollment and in physical facilities. She noted that enrollment of traditional students has increased, creating a challenge for student government to serve a diverse constituency of students. She stated that her goal as Student Body President is to promote greater student involvement. Many activities at IU East are geared toward family, so that students have the incentive to participate and to involve families. She stated that one event for 1993-94 is a Halloween party with a haunted room and games for the children inside and a bonfire for the parents outside. For the spring, Student Government is planning a Spring Fling, a day of fun and games taking place the week before finals. These events allow both traditional and non-traditional students to become involved in student events.
She stated that as the campus continues to grow, student government is also expanding. A new constitution has recently been adopted with a judicial branch added. The student government is addressing issues of diversity through curriculum and is working with other campus organizations to meet the needs of concerned students.
She expressed her enthusiasm for meeting the challenges of the coming year, and her gratitude for the opportunity she has at IU East to receive a quality education and to gain leadership skills and experience.
Trustee Todd thanked Ms. Ebersole for her remarks. He then introduced Ernesto Aguillera, newlyelected student body president at IU Northwest, noting that Mr. Aguillera will be invited to speak to the Board at a future meeting.
3. Report from Trustee Todd
Trustee Todd reported that the Student Affairs Committee met with student representatives from Southeast, East, Northwest, Bloomington, and South Bend, with several chancellors attending. All Committee members were present. The primary issues discussed were financing the University, tuition, fees, and the budget. In particular, the discussion centered on the perspective of the Board and how to assess priorities and achieve a balance of quality. Trustee Todd stated that it is difficult to strike a balance between quality, affordability, and accessibility. He said that these discussions are very beneficial in the decision-making process, and he encouraged further input from students as the Board deliberates the 1993-1995 budget.
Trustee Eichhorn reported that the Faculty Relations Committee met for discussion of two topics: the intellectual property policy, and the balanced case for consideration of instructional staff for promotion and tenure. He stated that the Committee did not have any actions to recommend at this point, choosing to continue discussion on both topics previously stated. He said that the intellectual property policy might be a featured discussion topic at the September Board meeting. He reported that the balanced case discussion centered on the emphasis on teaching and research and the effect of research and teaching, each on the other, and observed that each campus of this institution is examining some aspects of teaching. Mary Anne Baker from IU Southeast presented her position with regard to the current policy and the proposed amendment to the faculty handbook. Other speakers were Richard Fredland, Paul Eisenberg, Norm Overly, and the Trustees in attendance. Trustee Eichhorn reported that at the end of the meeting, there was not unanimity among the faculty regarding the proposed changes in the faculty handbook language. Board President Walda observed that perhaps the issue is not language, but implementation and interpretation.
Trustee Eichhorn stated that the Committee had a very open, frank discussion of these two subjects and agreed that the seriousness of the subjects required further discussion and study.
Trustee Mack stated that with the groundbreaking for the library at IU Kokomo the previous week and the new library opening this summer at IUPUI, it was fitting that the External Relations Committee met with all members present to hear a report from James Neal, Dean of the IU Libraries. He said that IU has an outstanding library system that has performed well in the last few years with restricted budgets. In Committee, Dean Neal reported that IU Libraries are ranked 14th in the nation by the Association of Research Libraries. He also reported that the statewide budget for the University Libraries is $35 million. Of that, $22 million is allocated to the Bloomington campus, with $2 million of that $22 million earmarked for the Library automation project budget for the entire system. The allocation to IUPUI is $7.2 million, and the other campuses receive a total of $5.5 million. Each year, 50,000 to 55,000 students have some contact with the libraries' instructional environments which provide access to databases and interlibrary access to students and citizens at no charge. Trustee Mack reported that Indiana University has done well in acquisitions, in spite of having to make tough decisions about what to acquire. The library budget in Bloomington is $20 million, with $6 million of that devoted to increasing collections. Purchasing power is declining because budget increases have not kept up with inflation. Declines in the dollar's value abroad has also hurt our ability to purchase foreign journals. Trustee Mack reported that Dean Neal voiced many concerns, but stressed three main areas. 1) The centrality that libraries serve in enhancing the University's mission of teaching, research, and service requires funding, but the costs are outstripping the resources. 2) There has been erosion of the library infrastructure – staff – on the Bloomington campus because of a reduction in real dollars of about $1.3 million. 3) Technology is critical to success of the library system, but there has been no growth in technology funds in the last four years.
Trustee Mack stated that recent and current library building programs were also discussed. On the Bloomington campus, all the science libraries have exceeded their space. The main library will run out of space in three to five years. A compact storage facility has been proposed which will cost from $3 to $3.5 million. It is seen as a facility that will help in the delivering of library materials to people, but not as an addition to the main library. Trustee Mack stated that Dean Neal views this facility as a warehouse where certain volumes would be kept. Dean Neal sees a gradual change in the way information in journals and books is delivered. CD-ROM technology will be a tool that will be increasingly used. He said that he envisions a virtual library which offers access to data no matter where it is physically housed. Dean Neal stressed that technology is changing the way information is delivered, and that IU must keep pace with technological advances. He also noted that it will take time for some of the developing countries to advance to today's technological capabilities and that collections from those areas will continue to consist of books and journals as we now know them. Trustee Mack reported that Chancellor Nelms expressed his appreciation to Dean Neal for his vision and help in the development of the IU Libraries. Trustee Mack thanked Chancellor Nelms for his comment, which summarizes the position of the committee and the Board as a whole.
Trustee Black reported that the Hospital Committee met on Wednesday, May 26, with Dean Walter J. Daly and the hospital committee staff. The Committee reviewed the quality assessment and improvement activities including the following key areas: 1) a summary of quarterly reports reviewed for the clinical departments during the January, February, March, 1993 meetings by the Professional Standards Committee. 2) A summary of the bi-annual reports of hospital departments reviewed by the Quality Assessment and Improvement Committee during January, February, and March, 1993. 3) The results of the Indiana State Department of Health license survey were announced. This is an unannounced survey that the State Board of Health performs on an annual basis. The last item was a comprehensive review of medical staff by-laws, rules, regulations, administrative policies and procedures which is in process. The Committee also heard a report on hospital indicators. Admissions were at 17,836, approximately 1% below budget. The new program of observation beds more than compensates for this loss of admissions. Patient days were at 135,221, approximately .4% below budget. Average length of stay was 7.82 days, which is remarkable for a tertiary care hospital. The hospitals are operating well within budget targets. The Committee also discussed health care trends, and heard an update on the proposed changes in health care on both the national and state level. This included a review of many of the ideas under consideration by the Clinton administration. There was also specific discussion of Medicaid problems. The Committee discussed the hospital budget, but no action was taken because of the unavailability of the Medicaid rules as yet. The last item considered by the Committee was medical staff credentialing, which was approved. Also, the credentialing process was reviewed, and included a discussion of the clinical departments, credentials committee, the executive council, the medical staff, the hospital committee, and the Board. Trustee Black stated that it was an excellent meeting and he expressed his appreciation to Dean Daly and his staff for the quality of information they provide the Committee.
1. Architectural Report
Trustee Gonso reported that the Architectural and Construction Committee discussion focused primarily on the Indianapolis campus. Ed Barnes, University Master Architect, will be retiring this year, and Vice President Clapacs and his staff are working on that transition. Mr. Barnes also serves as University architect for the South Bend campus as well, so his retirement will cause a major loss for the University, and yet an opportunity to plan for the future.
The Committee interviewed two architectural firms for the pediatric ambulatory care addition to Riley Memorial Hospital. Trustee Gonso noted that earlier interviews had been conducted by Dr. Stuart Kleit, Dean Walter Daly, Vice President Bepko, and their respective staffs. The Committee viewed presentations of two outstanding, world-renowned pediatric hospital architects, and the ultimate decision was to recommend that the University go forward with the Kaplan, McLaughlin, & Diaz firm out of San Francisco, which will affiliate with two local firms, Boyd/Sobieray Associates, Inc., and Finks, Roberts, & Petrie, to provide those services.
Trustee Gonso reported that the Committee also viewed a presentation by Boyd/Sobieray concerning the architectural treatment of the Cancer Research Laboratory and the Cancer Treatment Clinic in Indianapolis. This project involves renovation of one existing building and construction of one new building, which will be located across from Riley Children's Hospital. This new facility is funded primarily from the Representative Myers grant. One issue associated with this facility is the need for an above-ground pedestrian walkway. Trustee Gonso said that the Committee urged that Vice President Clapacs and his staff give careful attention to that need and bring a design back to the Architectural Committee. Trustee Gonso stated that the Committee recommended approval of all items.
Trustee Black noted that the Hospital Committee endorses the Architectural Committee recommendations.
Board President Walda stated that anyone interested in proposing a design for the pedestrian walkway should submit those proposals to Vice President Clapacs.
Unanimously approved on motion duly made and seconded.
2. Construction Report
a. Construction Contract Awards
No action items
b. Other Construction Matters
No action items
Board President Walda reported that Trustee McKinney, Chairman of the Investment and Fiscal Committee was unable to attend this meeting of the Board because he was in Moscow participating in a program to introduce private banking to the Russians. He stated that Trustee McKinney would report on the May 19, 1993 Investment and Fiscal Committee at the next meeting. Copies of the report from that meeting have been circulated to the Board.
1. Other Fiscal Actions appear in the Administrative Action Report dated April 20, 1993.
1. Committee Report
Trustee Richardson stated that the Committee received a report from Vice President Clapacs concerning the progress of the Commission on Health. Some of the Commission's recommendations to the Trustees would take effect January 1, 1994, and the balance on January 1, 1995. The Faculty Council and staff were requested to have their comments about the 1995 proposals to the Trustees prior to the September, 1993 meeting of the Board. Trustee Richardson said that the Committee also heard discussion on the periodic review of tenured faculty from Vice Presidents Gros Louis and Bepko, as well as Professors Norm Overly and Dick Fredland, co-secretaries of the UFC, and incoming co-secretary, Professor Paul Eisenberg. Copies of the report of the IUPUI Task Force on Faculty Appointments and Advancements were distributed. That report is the culmination of five years of nationally recognized work on a variety of important topics, including the review of tenured faculty. Trustee Richardson noted that the committee will return to the subject at a future date.

RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, the "Conditions for Cooperation between Employee Organizations and the Administration of Indiana University" (hereinafter "Conditions for Cooperation"), adopted by the Board of Trustees of Indiana University on July 7, 1966, and revised on May 19, 1967, and March 7, 1987, establishes the status of certain employee organizations within the University; and

Board President Walda called on Trustee Todd for a resolution concerning amendments to the Code of Student Ethics.
RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, the University Faculty Council has approved amendments to the Code of Student Ethics relating to "fighting words" and related issues, and
WHEREAS, Board of Trustees approval is required on the amendments;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Trustees of Indiana University hereby approve the amendments to the Code of Student Ethics, as approved by the University Faculty Council, and as represented in Attachment A, 1-3.
Trustee Richardson asked if this amendment had been approved by the Student Senate.
Trustee Todd stated that it has been approved by the IU Bloomington Student Association. He said that the Student Association had proposed an additional amendment, for which agreement on it with the faculty must be pursued before coming before the Board.
Trustee Black asked for confirmation that the amendment before the Board did not restrict freedom of speech in any way.
Trustee Richardson commented that the amendment actually opens it up.
Board President Walda added that broadening the definition was the purpose of the Supreme Court decision.
Trustee Todd stated that the amendment maintains the fighting words clause that has been recognized, but removes the previous distinction between various types of fighting words and brings it into one clause.
Board President Walda called for the vote.
Unanimously approved on motion duly made and seconded.
Trustee Gonso stated that at the May 7, 1993 Board Meeting, a resolution on faculty effort had been presented, but was not voted on pending further consideration. At that meeting, Board President Walda requested Trustees Gonso, Eichhorn, and Mack to study the issue. Trustee Gonso reported that they had met and had several changes to propose.
One of the proposed changes to the resolution presented May 7, 1993, was in the sixth RESOLVED paragraph of the original draft, that change being to strike the word "Commission" and insert in its place the words, "Joint Committee."
Trustee Richardson suggested that subsection 6 of the proposed resolution was not as specific as he would like it to be in regard to the membership and commencement of the Joint Committee.
Board President Walda stated that he believed the Board has perceived a need for an on-going examination of teaching effort and quality Indiana University, and he said that the Board was very interested in pursuing that process in conjunction with the faculty. Therefore, the outline of this Joint Committee is not specified because, for the Joint Committee to be successful, the input of the faculty must be obtained in designing the Committee. The first step will be for representatives of the Board to meet with the faculty and administration to develop an outline for a body to continue to look at teaching effort at Indiana University and excellence in teaching at Indiana University.
Trustee Gonso recommended that the Board designate Trustee Mack as the Board liaison to the Joint Committee, and request that he begin to consult with members of the faculty and administration and other interested parties to develop a mission, charter, and structure for this Joint Committee.
Board President Walda concurred with Trustee Gonso's recommendation of Trustee Mack to the Board liaison to develop this group and to work with the faculty and the administration in putting it all together. He asked for a progress report to be presented by Trustee Mack at a fall meeting. Trustee Todd emphasized subsection 7 and expressed his appreciation of the efforts of the faculty and administration in discussing this issue and developing a means to continue the type of discussion that the Board has had on this issue.
Trustee Black stated that student input into this commission was also important.
Trustee Todd noted that he would be available through his term of office and beyond.
President Ehrlich added his appreciation to the Trustees for their continuing interest in this arena, for their adoption of the faculty effort reports from the chancellors as the reports of the University, for encouraging Indiana University faculty to attain the goals in teaching, research, and service, underscoring the emphasis and importance of all three of those missions, and at the same time recognizing that a commission, or a task force on teaching can be of particular help in assuring that teaching continues to grow stronger.
RESOLUTION

Unanimously approved on motion duly made and seconded.
Board President Walda appointed Trustee Mack as the liaison from the Board to work with the faculty, administration, and students in the implementation of subsection six of the resolution.
Trustee Mack accepted the appointment, and invited the Trustees and the faculty, administration, and students to participate and help create this Joint Committee.
Board President Walda then called on Trustee Black for a resolution.
RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, The Board of Trustees of Indiana University wishes to acknowledge the achievements of Indiana University's 1992-93 Women's Tennis Program; and

NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Trustees expresses their sincere appreciation and thanks to the 1992-93 Women's Tennis Team and to Lin Loring and his coaching staff for bringing honor and distinction to Indiana University.
Unanimously approved on motion duly made and seconded.
Board President Walda asked that this resolution be conveyed to Coach Loring with the request that it be circulated to his team.
Trustee Black also reported that the U.S. Women's Open Golf Championship will be held at the Crooked Stick Golf Club July 19-25, 1993.
