Nash, was appointed almost two years ago and brought these revised regulations to the
Board after they had been approved by the President.

      Ms. Ball said that the members of the Board had received a notebook containing
the proposed revisions to the Governing Regulations. She explained that anything taken
out of the document is in red, and anything added to the document is in blue. She
reported that the committee had reviewed the regulations and made some changes
regarding the Community College System, which is no longer a part of the university,
and the university's provost model. Those are the main changes made by the committee.
She asked for any questions from the Board and then moved that the proposed revisions
be given preliminary consideration for approval and be considered for adoption at the
June Board meeting. Ms. Smith Edge seconded her motion, and it carried without
dissent. (See SCGR 1 at the end of the Minutes.)

      G.    Establishment of the Institute for Educational Assessment (AACR 1)

      Ms. Sparks, Chair of the Academic Affairs Committee, reported that the
committee had four items to bring before the Board. AACR 1 is the establishment of the
Institute for Educational Assessment. She noted that Kentucky spends approximately
$13 million on testing. The new institute will extend the university's commitment to a
critical facet of P-16 education reform, student assessment. This is quite a compliment to
the College of Education. This has been recommended by the chairs and dean of the
College of Education. The Provost supports this recommendation as does the Academic
Affairs Committee. She moved that AACR 1 be approved. Her motion, seconded by
Ms. Haney, carried without dissent. (See AACR 1 at the end of the Minutes.)

      H.    Change of Organizational Structure of the Council on Aging (AACR 2)

      Ms. Sparks said that AACR 2 is the change of organizational structure of the
Council on Aging. The Board is asked to approve the transfer of administrative oversight
for the Council on Aging from the Executive Vice President for Research to the Dean,
College of Public Health. The Executive Vice President for Research recommends this
proposal, and it is endorsed by the appropriate faculty and administrators. She moved
approval of AACR 2. Mr. Reed seconded her motion, and it carried without dissent.
(See AACR 2 at the end of the Minutes.)

      I.    Establishment of the Partnership Institute for Mathematics and Science
Reform (AACR 3)

      Ms. Sparks said that AACR 3 recommends that the Board approve the
establishment of the Partnership Institute for Mathematics and Science Reform. This is a
result of the $22 million grant that the university received. This proposal has been
recommended by the deans of the College of Arts and Sciences and the College of
Education. The Provost supports this recommendation as does the Academic Affairs
Committee. She moved approval of AACR 3. Dr. Moore seconded her motion, and it
carried without dissent. (See AACR 3 at the end of the Minutes.)
