Initiative Measure 276 requires the publishing of rules describing such matters as Western's organization, course and method of decision making, and setting forth procedures governing access to public records at the institution. The Initiative was effective January 1, 1973, and being as of that date necessary for the general welfare, it is equally necessary for the general welfare that such rules be adopted without delay in an emergency form which will enable the College to comply with the Initiative during the period of time required for formal adoption of such rules, for which reason the Board finds such immediate adoption necessary for the general welfare and that the observance of the requirements of notice and opportunity to present views on the proposed action would be contrary to the public interest. Section 2. The annexed regulations, to-wit: new chapter 516-11 WAC, is hereby approved and adopted as emergency rules of Western Washington State College, and chapter 516-10 WAC is hereby repealed. - 1 - ----------xxxxx---------- Board of Trustees Minutes - February 1973 - Page 6 ----------xxxxx---------- Section 3.

Lindquist, Assistant Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science, leave without pay, academic year, 1973-74 Meribeth M. Riffey, Associate Professor of Biology, leave without pay, Spring quarter, 1973 DISTRIBUTION OF THE 4% SALARY INCREASE IF APPROVED BY STATE LEGISLATURE President Flora stated that there was a possibility that the Legislature, in adopting the supplemental operating budget for the remainder of the biennium, may appropriate a 4% salary adjustment with institutional discretion for distribution. It would appear, however, that the Legislature will probably appropriate a $ 40 per full-time employee amount. Should the 4% discretionary funding occur, then Board action upon distribution would be required for implementation prior to the end of this month. The Faculty Council and the Business and Finance Council of the Senate have recommended that all faculty receive a common dollar amount. President Flora concurred with the recommendations. The Administrators Association and the Business and Finance Council also recommended a common dollar amount for the civil service exempt staff. The President, however, recommended a common percentage amount, stating that the exempt staff received a common dollar adjustment last September while the faculty received a common percentage adjustment. He was concerned about compensation imbalance among this group. Mr. Comfort moved that the salary increase be implemented at the earliest possible time-- February 1, 1973. Mr. Hanson seconded the motion; the motion passed. The following actions were taken on the assumption that the institution has the discretion to distribute the salary increase monies; Mr. Comfort moved that all administrators' salaries be increased, using the common percentage theory; Mr. Hanson ----------xxxxx---------- Board of Trustees Minutes - February 1973 - Page 9 ----------xxxxx---------- 1612 seconded the motion; the motion passed. Mr. Hanson moved that all faculty salaries be increased, using the common dollar theory; Mr. Comfort seconded the motion; the motion passed with Mr. Comfort voting No and Mrs. Butterworth casting a Yes vote.
