From a Position Paper on The University of Miami and the State adopted by the Board of Trustees February 14, 1967 With the expanding system of state-supported higher education in Florida, and in South Florida in particular, it is important to the welfare of higher education and the State that the University of Miami be maintained as a vigorous, effective, strong, independent, nonprofit institution. This the Trustees of the Uni- versity propose to do. Free of political control, the Trustees in turn can assure the maintenance of an atmosphere on campus in which the faculty and students may carry out their responsibilities, themselves free from political pressures. By successfully maintaining opportunities for the free pursuit of truth, the Trustees of the University of Miami will thus encourage the university ideal throughout the State by the indirect influence which a good example radiates . . . Political independence rests upon financial solvency; or, to state the maxim in reverse, when institutions have become financially insolvent, state governments, on more than one occasion, have been invited to take them over. The Trustees of the University of Miami, true to the trust reposed in them by so many donors, intend to maintain the financial solvency of the University of Miami and its independence of government. 295
