       G.    Proposed Amendments to the Governing Regulations and Changes in
Administrative Regulations (PR 3A)

       President Wethington recommended that the amendments to the Governing
Regulations of the University of Kentucky and the proposed change to an Administrative
Regulation be approved. He reminded the Board that this document was presented at the
previous Board meeting and that changes in the Governing Regulations must stay on the
table for at least one month. He noted that the amendments were sent out to the
appropriate bodies and individuals for reaction inside the University, and those reactions
led to some minor modifications, mostly editorial. He said that the regulations, if
approved, would not go into effect until the delegation of the management of the
community colleges (thirteen of the fourteen) takes place. Mr. Shoop moved approval.
Professor Mather seconded the motion, and it passed. (See PR 3A at the end of the
Minutes.)

       Professor Mather clarified that the Board will deal with changes in the
Administrative Regulations as they pertain to Lexington Community College at some
point in the future. President Wethington agreed and said that Lexington Community
College is not impacted directly by the change in management responsibilities of the other
thirteen colleges. The Administrative Regulations will, however, be reviewed and some
actions, specifically in regard to Lexington Community College, will be taken prior to July
1, 1998.

       President Wethington recommended that approval be given to the appointment of
Lois Gray as a member of the Board of Directors of the University of Kentucky
Humanities Foundation for a four-year term beginning with the October 1997 meeting.
Ms. Wickliffe moved approval. Mr. Stumbo seconded the motion, and it carried. (See
PR 5A at the end of the Minutes.)

       I.    Change in Title of Degree Programs (PR 5B)

       President Wethington recommended that the Board approve the change in name of
the M.S. and Ph.D. degree program titles from Agricultural Engineering to Biosystems
and Agricultural Engineering. Professor Mather moved approval. His motion, seconded
by Mr. Reed, passed. (See PR 5B at the end of the Minutes.)
