interest to himself, the title itself
must be deemed to have been con-
ferred for the mutual benefit of
the corporation and the officer
in question. Were only a trivial
benefit running to the officer to
exist, it would be advisable for
any state officer holding such an
empty title to divest himself of it
if a prohibited contractual rela-
tionship is present-such a gesture
could hardly be viewed as too
great a sacrifice for the oppor-
tunity to engage in public serv-
ice. This would be necessary since
any title as officer of a corpora-
tion must be presumed to carry
with it commensurate obligation
to serve the interest of that cor-
poration.
Public Utilities
EDITOR'S NOTE: MSU President
Hannah also requested clarification
of the positions of officers or di-
rectors of both universitysgovern-
ing boards as directors of a pri-
vately owned public utility regulat-
ed by the state, Kelley's conclu-
sion only is printed here.
With the exception of the col-
leges and universities that are
newly formed, the decision of a
college or university to avail itself
of a particular public utility serv-
ice is a matter of history and
based upon such decision the col-
lege or university and the public
utility company have undertaken
financial obligations to insure
proper service. Thus it must be
held that any conflict of interest
that may result from a person
serving as a university governing
board member or officer and also
as an officer or director of a pub-
lic utility furnishing service to a
college or university is unsubstan-
tial as it relates to a public util-
ity service rendered to the univer-
sity.

porations must be deemed to have that, while their duties and re-
a substantial interest in the busi- sponsibilities do not encomppass
ness affairs of such corporations, the establishment of broad policy
reserved to the governing board,
they actually have greater involve-
ment in the negotiation, execu-
tion and administration of con-
tracts entered into by the insti-
tution. For example, the board
may select a bank in which to de-
posit its funds, but it is the offi-;
cers that have direct and regular
contact with officials and em-
ployes of the bank. Disputes re-
garding interpretation of terms
of deposit, time of deposit, amount
of deposit or bank charges are
generally resolved by the institu-
tion's officials and not by the
governing board unless the dis-,
pute assumes major proportions..
Also, while board members serve
part time devoting the major por-
tion of their activities to other
matters, the officers of the insti-
tution are normally required to
devote their full time and atten-
tion to the university's affairs. It
would be an anomolous quirk of;
the law indeed were board mem-
bers of an institution prohibited
from having a conflicting inter-
est in a state contract while no
such prohibition applied to its of-
ficers. Thus, if the policy upon,
which the constitutional prohibi-
tion against conflict of interest;
rests is to be meaningful, it must
be applicable to the very state
officials who might be in a posi-
tion to violate it.
Therefore, since establishment
and maintenance of state institu-
tions is an exercise of the sover-
eign functions of the state pur-
suant to its constitution and, since
officers of such institutions are
engaged in the implementation of1
1948 k750.122, is valid and enforce-
able:
"No trustee, inspector, regent,
superintendent, agent, officer or
member of any board or commis-
sion having control or charge of
any educational, charitable, pen-
al, pauper, or reformatory public
institution of this state, or of any
municipality thereof, shall be per-
sonally, directly or indirectly, in-
terested in any contract, purchase
or sale made for, or on account,
or in behalf of any such institu-
tion, and all such contracts, pur-
chases or sales shall be held null
and void; nor shall any such of-
ficer corruptly accept any bribe,
gift or gratuity whatever froln
any persons interested in such
contract; and it is hereby made
the duty of the governor or other
appointing power, upon proof sat-
isfactory of a violation of the pro-
visions of this section, to immedi-
ately remove the officer or em-
ploye offending as aforesaid; and
the offender shall be guilty of a
felony."
This section of the Penal Code,
it will be noted, refers to three
consequences that can ensue
where it can be established that
a conflict of interest is present.,
First, the contract itself is de-
clared to be "null and void";
secondly, the officer is subject to
removal from office, and thirdly,'
upon conviction thereof, the offi-;
cer is guilty of a felony.
It it recommended, however, that
any prosecuting authority before
whom such complaint may be
brought take into consideration
the fact that this problem has

. Matthaei, asked last summer
about the possibility of a conflict
of interest existing between his
University and business posts, had
said, "I serve on several bank
boards, none of which conduct any
business activities with the Uni-
versity, of which I am aware."
Kelley explained that "It is now
up to the local prosecutors to in-
vestigate and prosecute cases of
conflict of interest among college
or university officials in their
areas."
A spokesman for Central Mich-
igan University told The Daily.
yesterday that "no action has been
taken" by members of the ad-
ministration and Board of Trus-
tees who are members of local
banks.
CMU President Judson Foust is
a director of the Exchange Sav-
ings Bank in Mount Pleasant;
Norval Bovee, the , university's
vice-president of business, and E.
Allan Morrow, a trustee, are both
directors of the Isabella Bank,
also in Mount Pleasant.
"Our,officials will certainly com-.
ply with the law if it affects
them," claimed a spokesman for
Eastern Michigan University, "but
we haven't seen the ruling yet."
EMU President Harold Sponberg,
a director of the First National
Bank of Marquette and the Na-
tional City Bank in, Ypsilanti
may be affected by the ruling.
However, Section 5 of Act 311
states that:
"If the attorney general finds
that a contract contains a direct
or indirect interest that causes a
substantial conflict of interest,
the contract is not void but is
voidable by the state or political
subdivision. A party who entered
into a voided contract in good
faith and without knowledge of
the existence of a prohibited in-
terest therein may recover from
the state or political subdivision
the reasonable value of any bene-
fits conferred upon the state or
political subdivision in good faith
reliance upon the contract." (MSA,
Cur Mat #4.170(5) )
Thus, with respect to the stat-
us of the contract, there appears
to be an irreconcilable conflict
between Section 122 of the Penal
Code as to the officers and insti-
tutions covered therein, and Sec,
tion 5 of Act 317, PA 1966, A
contract cannot be "null and void"
and be "not void but voidable by
the state or political subdivision"
at the very same instant. Apply-
ing the proper rule to statutory
construction reserved to such cir-
cumstances, City of Detroit v.
Michigan Bell Telephone Com-
pany, 374 Mich. 543 (1965), it is
my opinion that Act 317, being a
later expression of the Legisla-
ture is controlling despite the ab-
sence of a repealing clause. The
contract would thus be voidable.

of this opinion there has been
considerable uncertainty as to
whether the described activities
amount to a conflict of interest.
Section 2 of Act 317, PA 1966;
MSA Cur Mat 14.1700(2), also pro-
hibits any state officer from hav-
ing any interest in a contract with
the state or any of its political
subdivisions which is in substan-
tial conflict with the proper dis-
charge of his duties in the public
interest. And this statute left un-
disturbed the second and third of
the consequences flowing from a
violation of Section 122 of the
Michigan Penal Code, supra, by
providing, as it does in Section 7
thereof, MSA Cur Mat 14.700(7),
that:
"The failure of a state officer
or government employe to comply
with this act subjects him to ap-
propriate disciplinary action or
civil action."
In addition, it should be noted,
under Article V, Section 10 of the
Michigan Constitution of 1963 the
governor has the power and the
duty to remove or suspend from
office any public officer, elective
or appointive, "for gross neglect
of duty or for corrupt conduct in
office, or for any other misfeas-
ance or malfeasance therein."
There can be no doubt that any
public officer who has an interest
in any contract which is prohibit-
ed by Article IV, Section 10 of
the constitution is subject to such
removal or suspension by the gov-
ernor.
