       G.    Proposed Amendments to the Governing Regulations (PR 3A)

       President Wethington said that PR 3A concerns proposed changes to the
Governing Regulations. He reminded the Board that these proposed changes were
approved for consideration at the last meeting. The regulations state that proposed
changes must stay on the table for at least one month before being considered for final
action.

       President Wethington reported that the two proposed changes in PR 3A had been
sent to the University Senate, the Senate Council, the Student Government Association,
and other groups as well for review. He explained that the proposal at the last Board
meeting was to lower the number of faculty members serving on the search committee for
president of the University from four to three because a large number of the Community
College System faculty were no longer under the management of the University. He noted
that the University Senate and Senate Council had suggested that the number of faculty
members remain at four. Having heard their recommendation, President Wethington stated
that the number would remain at four, and PR 3A reflects no change from the existing
Governing Regulations.

      President Wethington said the other suggestion came from students who were
concerned about the number of students serving on the University Senate. The concerned
students suggested that the number of students serving on the University Senate be
increased from 18 to 19 because a student from Lexington Community College had been
added to the University Senate. President Wethington explained that two colleges, the
College of Communication and the College of Library Science, were combined two years
ago; however, the Governing Regulations were not changed from 18 to 17 students to
reflect the two colleges being combined. Therefore, the number of students serving on the
University Senate should remain at 18 which includes the representative added from the
Lexington Community College. The colleges and the Graduate School of the University
System and the Lexington Community college will have one student representative on the
University Senate.

      On motion made by Professor Mather, and seconded by Mr. Guthrie, PR 3A
approved. (See PR 3A at the end of the Minutes.)

      H.    Agreement with Paducah Junior College, Inc. (PR 3B)

      President Wethington said that PR 3B is an agreement between the University of
Kentucky Board of Trustees and Paducah Junior College, Inc. He reminded the Board that
Paducah Junior College is an entity created by statute that has certain responsibilities for
Paducah Community College. On August 19, 1997 the Board concurred with the General
