OTHER GENERAL MATTERS

1.E.(1) Report from Hospital Committee. Trustee Black reported that the Hospital Committee's meeting began with a review of budget, occupancy, and cash indicators which showed generally a positive operation for the first 10 months of the fiscal year. A video produced by the Hospital for use in orienting new employees and for general public relations was shown and received favorable reaction from the committee. There was a review of the role of the Trustees in relation to activities of the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals, and discussion of a quality assurance program. A report was given concerning a study by Arthur Young and Company how graduate education affects hospital costs, showing that teaching plus the fact that teaching hospitals have a broad mix of severe cases, will increase costs by as much as 35 to 45%. This is offset somewhat by the fact that physicians at university centers usually receive less than at other hospitals. The concluding item was an update on the proposed helicopter plan, which is now evolving into a consortium arrangement with other Indianapolis hospitals. Trustee Black also mentioned that he and Trustee Swedeen learned at the Big Ten Governing Boards meeting that Indiana University Trustees are better informed and have a much closer relationship with hospital staff than do those from other Big Ten schools that have hospitals.

1.E.(2) Consideration of Operating Budget, 1987-88. President Ryan stated that all committees and divisions of the University that participate in the budget process have completed their work under the leadership of Vice President Williams, whom he asked to present the recommended operating budget for 1987-88. Vice President Williams explained that his presentation would be relatively short because he and University Budget Director Ed Whalen had met with small groups of Trustees within the past week for very detailed discussions. Basic assumptions made in developing the budget were (1) the budget would be balanced, (2) enrollments would remain relatively level, and (3) in keeping with a plebiscite among employees who are members of the Public Employees Retirement Fund (PERF), the University would pay their three percent contribution directly to the state, which has the effect of adding that amount to their take home pay. Two priority matters to be considered in development of the budget were (1) improvement of salaries throughout the system at all levels, and (2) doing something about rapidly depreciating equipment by taking advant¬age of the State's new policy relative to equipment replacement funds. He then showed a series of slides from those charts reproduced here as Figures 1 to 19.

He explained that Figure 1 is an overview of the total proposed expenditures for all fund classes, the various categories of which are explained by Figure 2, which he covered in detail. He explained that the General Education Fund would receive greatest emphasis in his presentation because it is the most important from the view point of the basic missions of the University: Teaching, research, and public service. That fund is supported primarily by the State through appropriations and by student fees and includes money for all academic depart¬ments, schools, divisions, libraries, academic support functions, general administration, and physical plant. He noted there had been a major change in Special State Appropriations in that the Medical Education Program formerly in this category is now appropriated to the University in the General Education Fund, representing an addition to this fund of approxi¬mately $22 million. This adjustment was make also to the 1986-87 column so figures in the two columns would be comparable. The increase in General Educational Fund income is 6.3%, which is very close percentagewise to the 6.4% increase in budgeted expenditures for all funds as the totals increase from $958,592,489 for 1986-87 to $1,019,846,561 for 1987-88.

Figure 3, which shows percentage of expenditures by fund group is interesting, Vice President Williams pointed out, because if compared with percentages for the budget seven years ago, the only significant changes are a 2% increase in the General Education Fund and a 2% decrease in Service Departments, despite major increases in the dollar figures.

The version of Figure 3 shown on the slide had been colored to show in red the portion of the total expenditures which came from the state, money from student fees in blue, and money from all other sources in green. The State provides 31%, and the balance of budgeted expenditures will come from student fees and income which the University itself produces.

Vice President Williams stated that Figure 5 shows where increased money for the General Educational Fund will come from and how the $29.6 million will be utilized in increased expenditures for various functions. He commented that approximately $2.6 million of the equipment and library category is money appropriated to modernize equipment, a 95% increase in funds available for that purpose. Physical Plant will get about $3.5 million more; the total expenditure for electricity is about $3.4 million. He noted that much of the increase in the categories for staff benefits and personnel services represented PERF money which the University will now pay directly. Figure 8 shows the source of funds for the General Educational Fund budget, and Figure 10 shows how the expenditures will be budgeted. He noted that 67%, the total of personnel services and staff benefits, goes for people, which means that sometimes in order to balance the budget it is necessary to sacrifice some positions; there is little flexibility in the other 33%. Average salary increases vary from campus to campus from 5.1% to about 7.0%

Responding to questions, Vice President Williams first answered Trustee Kampen's inquiry about what portion of the $1 billion budget comes from students, stating that figure to be about 12%. That can be compared with 31% from the State and the balance of about 57% which is money brought in through efforts of the faculty in research and other activities and through efforts of the staff in various services that the University offers. Trustee Kampen correctly noted that students also provide some percentage of funds through money paid to auxiliary enter¬prises such as residence halls and bookstores.

In response to Trustee Gonso’s question, Vice President Williams explained that income, other than from appropriation and student fees, for the General Fund comes from cost allocations, sales and services and other miscellaneous sources. Trustee Dye noted that in projected uses of additional General Educational Fund money staff benefits and personnel service increases are almost equal. Vice President Williams explained that there was a major increase in spending for PERF which brought up the figure for benefits this year, in addition to some increases in TIAA costs and Old Age and Survivors Insurance costs.

Unanimously approved, on motion duly made and seconded.

1.E.(12) Peirce geodetic reference benchmark and monument. Approval by the Board was requested of a proposal to locate on the Indianapolis Campus a geodetic reference benchmark and monument. The benchmark would be part of the national system of such markers which have been installed throughout the country by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, but it will in addition commemorate Charles Peirce, a longtime scientific employee of the Administration's predecessor agency, the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. It is appropriate that the marker and monument be at IUPUI, for that is the location of the Peirce Edition Project relating to the works of Charles Peirce, who also was one of America's greatest philosophers and logicians.

Unanimously approved, on motion duly made and seconded.

1.E.(13) Report of Big Ten Governing Boards Meeting. Trustee Swedeen reported that she and Trustee Black, together with Secretary Burton, had attended the second annual Big Ten Governing Boards Conference in Minneapolis, May 31 and June 1. The theme was "The Changing State of the Academy," which was highlighted in the keynote address by Ernest Boyer of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching entitled, "The Undergraduate Experience." Reactions to his remarks were given by the chief academic officers from Ohio State, Michigan, Minnesota and Illinois, making the total presentation very thought-provoking. The group divided into three small discussion groups to consider topics of most interest, such as open meetings, presidential search, foreign teaching assistants, and the question of quality versus access. The session on hospital issues was of particular interest to the two Trustees, she said, because of their participation on the Hospital Committee of this Board. She reported that there is a tentative plan to have another meeting next year which probably will be at the University of Illinois on dates as yet undetermined. All institutions were represented except Northwestern. The Wisconsin Board was represented by its student member.
