State board policy on business managers to be reviewed
The interim committee will hear a special committee's report on replacing business managers in state institutions. The board of control will not hire managers to replace resignations at Mount Pleasant and Woodward, while dual control is questioned. Sen Al Douds protests the action, noting a survey favors appointing managers at each institution. Salaries and vacancies rise as 64 openings exist in the conversation commission, with no uniform raises causing inter-department friction.
