       K. Leave of Absence Granted to Dr. Lyman V. Ginger (PR 7)

       Dr. Lyman V. Ginger, as a tenured member of the faculty of the College
of Education, has requested leave of absence without pay beginning February 1,
1971 for the purpose of seeking election to the office of Superintendent of Public
Instruction. Under the Governing Regulations of the University of Kentucky such
a leave is permissible and President Singletary recommended that Dr. Ginger be
granted a leave of absence without pay from February 1, 1971 until February
1972 with the proviso that additional leave, not to exceed one year, will be
granted to Dr. Ginger upon application. Mr. Hillenmeyer so moved. His motion
was seconded by Dr. Sears and, without dissent, it was so ordered. (See PR 7

       M. Dean Matthews Resigns as Dean of the College of Law

       President Singletary reported that he had received a letter from Dean
William L. Matthews, Jr. of the College of Law requesting that he be relieved
of his appointment as Dean of the College of Law for the purpose of returning to
full-time teaching and research as a member of the Law faculty. Dean Matthews
has served as Acting Dean and Dean of the Law School for 16 years and feels
that this is long enough to serve in an administrative position. President
Singletary said that it was with regret that he was acceding to Dean Matthews'
request and that a search committee to screen candidates for his replacement
would be appointed in the immediate future. Dean Matthews has agreed to con-
tinue to serve until such time as a new dean has been selected.

Council of the University onSaturday, October 10, 1970, recommendations made
as the result of a study by G. A. Brakeley Company, authorized and financed by
the Development Council, had been Presented. As a result of this study the need
for a more desirable method of raising money for the University was pointed out
and it was strongly recommended that the University create a foundation for this
purpose. In the immediate future a study will be made of foundations at other
institutions which has been particularly effective in this area and the University
will very probably establish such a foundation.



In addition to the Brakeley study the University will also be studied by
