to make a stateroent at thís ti¡ne" Member NickLas stated
wtth the beginnÍng of a new yeaf, it is important uhat
the Board start out with a good cl"imate. Ðile to recent

In answer to a question from Member Klussmannr Dr.
BirkhoLz stated the most recent committee rltras a joint
committee appointed by his office and .incLuded bot.h
admLnistrators and faculty.
Dr. Birkholz expJ-ained that in essence this is an
extension of the April date that the Board charged
him with on CIctober 14, L976. This is a result of t,he
date on which he received the report and the fact that
he has been unabLe to meet with the facuJ-ty because of
the Easter hoJ.iday. Dr. BirkhoLz distributed to the
Board a memo of clarification from Mr. Bartos, dated
ApriL ll, L977r and stated he had indicated to Mr.
Bartos he v¡oul-d meet with the committee when the
facuLty returned from vacation. Dr. Birkholz added
Èhat any recommendations that woul-d co¡ne out of this
committee wouLd have to be given consideration for
inch¡sion in the Faculty Procedural- Manual or possibly
the Board Policy Manual. Dr. Lahti agreed this was
a status report and May is the deadline.
Chairman Munson stated the item of promot,i.ons would
not be discussed as this is a negotiabLe item.
Chairman Munson referred to the suggested Policy Manual
changes whLch the Board had received. Member Nicklas,
a representative of the committee, stated these lrere
routine changes. Since it, is necessary to have two
meetings on Board Po1-icy ManuaL changes, Chai¡man Munson
suggested the Board couLd adjourn to an agreed upon
date to take action on these changes. Prlor to that
meeting, a committee-of-the-whole meeting could be held
to review these changes and provide any informat,ion the

statement of poLicy regarding confidentiality of
material reLated to negotiations. He stated he had
anticipated some concern in that area and was proposing
a policy that would be binding on all Board members,
and stated he would absoluteJ-y abide by that. He felt
vioLation of the policy would be the opportuniLy to seek
conjunctive relief and damages. Chairman Munson stated
this woul-d be taken under consideration at the meeting
of the commíttee-of-the-whole.
