The extent to which they have been able to
|
|
2
|
bring institutions along to make a real contribution
|
|
3
|
to the state in which they exist has to considerable
|
|
4
|
extent be dependent upon the authority that they have,
|
|

|
the way in which they continue to exercise that authority
|
|

and the way in which their work has resulted in general

public support of the activity.

I think it would be of interest to the group
|
|
9
|
and I am sure several of you are quite familiar with the
|
|
10
|
fact that the constitutions in several states do main-
|
|
11
|
tain provisions for the state university in the particu-
|
|
12
|
lar state. I will cite these simply in the order in
|
|
13
|
which the courts have upheld the constitution autonomy,
|
|
14
|
if you will; University of Michigan, Michigan State
|
|
15
|
University, University of California, University of
|
|
16
|
Idaho, University of Minnesota, Oklahoma State Univer-
|
|
17
|
sity. These are covered by specific provisions in the
|
|
18
|
state constitution and the courts have pretty well up-
|
|
19
|
held these as giving the opportunity for the particular
|
|
20
|
boards involved to actually govern the affairs of the
|
|
21
|
institution itself.
