            WHEREAS, as a part of the movement to improve the quality of
      education, the legislature passed a proposed constitutional
      amendment to be voted on by the citizens of the Commonwealth in
      November 1986 that would provide for an appointive Board of
      Education that would be responsible for setting the qualifications
      and selecting the Superintendent of Public Instruction; and

            WHEREAS, the need to continue the improvements in education is
      essential for the future of the Commonwealth; now therefore

            BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees of the University
      of Kentucky hereby expresses its support for Amendment No. 1 to
      change the process of selecting the Superintendent of Public
      Instruction and encourages the President to apprise the faculty,
      students, staff and alumni of its importance as another step in the
      improvement of education in Kentucky and to encourage support for
      the proposed amendment.

      Professor Betts moved, and Mr. Hershey seconded, that the above
Resolution be adopted. Governor Chandler, honorary member, expressed
reservations about the Board taking a stand on the issue but did indicate
his personal support of the amendment. The motion was voted on and
unanimously carried.
