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. Employe of Labor Organization Representative Hampton advises me that Don Stevens, a member of the Michigan State University Board of Trustees, is employed by the Michigan AFL-CIO. Several months ago he voted favorably upon a resolution requiring Mich- igan State University to purchase printing'services only from union- ized printing shops. Subsequently, the proper answer to the first this resolution of the Board of question stated above requires Trustees was modified so as to only determination of whether! permit non-union shops to pro- persons serving as members of! vide such services if they certified governing boards of state institu- that they are observing union tions of higher education or as standards. officers thereof are "state offi- Representative Hampton asked cers" within the meaning of Ar- my opinion on the following ques- tile IV, Section 10. tion: Governing boards of state in- "Whether Don Stevens, a mem- stitutions of higher education hav- ber of the Michigan State Uni- ing authority to grant baccalaur- versity Board of Trustees, is en- eate degrees owe their existence gaged in a similar, or any, con- to provisions of the Constitution. flict of interest with MSU." - .

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 (Continued from Page 1) a member of the University's Board of Regents, to remain presi- dent of the Management and Cap- ital Co. of Birmingham, a director of Lear-Siegler, Inc., the Bank of the Commonwealth, the Bank of Lansing and the Industrial Bank of Kalamazoo. . 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. Camp us Dr. D. Stark Murray, original planner of the British National Health Service, will speak on "National Health Service of Great Britain: Current Picture and Fu- ture Prospects" today at 4 p.m. in the Michigan Union third floor conference room.

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.
