Minutes of Meeting of
September 25, 1980
* * * * * *
President Davis said that
Report and Review of
the citizens of Bernalillo'
Administrative Actions
County, by a margin of 2 to 1,
voted approval of bond issues to expand the Mental Health/Mental
Retardation Center and the UNM Hospita1/BCMC. He, sees this as
a real vote of confidence for the two institutions and said
that Mr. William Johnson, Administrator of UNM Hospita1/BCMC,
and his staff should be commended for informing the public of
the issues involved.
'
President Davis also reported that he, Mr. John Bridgers,
Dean Robert Weaver, Vice Presid~nt Marvin Johns9n, and
Attorney Peter Johnstone met with the NCAA Infractions Committee
in Colorado Springs on November 1. At that time, they distributed
a statement summarizing actions which the University has taken
to correct problems in the athletic department and answered
questions about allegations made.by the NCAA. The Committee
will now take the matter under. advisement and make recommendations
to the NCAA Executive Council which has the final authority to
rule on infractions. UNM will have the opportunity to appeal
the decision of the Executive Council if there should be cause.
Davis further stated,that the Board of Educational Finance
would meet next Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday in Santa Fe
to make its final decisions about budget. Disc~ssion in the
most recent meetings favored a 15% overall increase for
expenditures for the total higher education'program. The
University is urging that salary guidelines for UNM staff be
consistent with other state employees. The BEF staff seemed
to favor a 10% increase in tuition which would mean roughly
$16.00 per semester for UNM •
.Fina11y, Presi~ent Davis informed the Regents that numerous
complaints have been received regarding the Student Radio Board
and the operation of KUNM. When KUNM was expanded from a low
wattage, on-campus, radio station to a member of the Public
Broadcasting Service, the Regents became 1icens~es and are
therefore responsible for the operati9n of the Station. At the
next meeting Vice President Johnson will bring to the Regents
some clear guidelines for management of, the Station.
.

Vice President John
Los Alamos Bank Account
Perovich asked the Regents to
approve the establishment of a bank account at the Bank of
Los Alamos. He explained that the account would be used as a
depository for receipts of the Los Alamos Branch College and
that no disbursements would be made from the account except
to transfer funds to an existing University disbursement
account.
It was moved ~y Mrs. Jourdan, seconded by Dr. Martinez,
that the establishment of a bank account at the Bank of Los
Alamos be approved. Carried.
* * * * * *
Mr. Perovich recommended to the
Student Fees
Regents that student fees be increased from the
current $150 per semester for a full-time student to $160
per semester. If approved the increase would beGpme effective
with the summer session of 1981. Activities funded by student
fees are: Intramurals, Band, Popejoy Hall, Student Health'
Center, New Mexico Union, Athletics, Debt Service, Collegiate
Singers, KUNM, Cheerleaders/Chaparrals, ASUNM, and GSA.
Mrs. Maloof asked why the allocation for the Student
Health Center ($1,104,400) is so large, and Mr. Perovich
replied that the Health Center operates 24 hours a day,
seven days a week. Last year 62,900 students took advantage
of the services offered at the Center.
. .
Mrs. Jourdan expressed concern that the Student Health
Center was duplicating services available at UNM Hospital/BCMC.
Dr. Napolitano said that the Center was a most efficient
operation and was centrally located for the convenience of
students. Most of the laboratory work is done at the UNM
Hospital.
Vice President Johnson told the Regents that the Health
Center is one of the best services we offer to students, and,
under the direction of Dr. Olga Eaton, the· quality of professional
services has been greatly· improved. Dr. Joel Jones concurred
in this statement and said that this service affects student
attitudes and results in ~mproved classroom attendance.
Mrs. Maloof asked that she be provided with a list of
Center employees and their salaries.
It was moved by Dr •. Martinez, seconded by Mrs. Jourdan,
that the student fees .be increased to $160 per semester.
Carried.

Mr. Perovich explained that when
Quasi Endowments
the University receives monies not specified
for a given purpose they may be put into a quasi-endowment
fund so that only the income from the fund is spent. At any
future time the Regents can, if they wish, direct. that the
endowment fund be dissolved so that all monies may·be spent~
jL7
He asked Regent approval to establish four new,quasi-endowment
funds and also to approve additions to existing funds as follows:

the current theories of capital budgeting. He hopes to expand his
research into publications and a proposal for a monograph.

and Statistics, the Diabetes Research Center, Sandia Laboratories,
and the Lovelace Medical Center. The bionic pancreas, which
