        President Todd encouraged the Board to read all the student and faculty awards
listed in the report. They are too numerous to mention, but they are outstanding.

        President Todd reported that the Senate and Provost had worked hard to
implement a four-year contract for students. Departments are now being enlisted
to participate in the program. If the University system gets in the way of a student,
who has followed all of the plan, graduating in four years, the University will pay the
tuition after that point. He noted that Tony Stempel is a student who worked hard and did
a lot of research for the program.

        E.   Personnel Actions

        President Todd report that PR 2 is typically on the consent agenda; however,
since one of the items in PR 2 needed to be mentioned, PR 2 was not on the consent
agenda.

        President Todd called attention to the appointment of Dr. Charles Wethington.
For the record, he reported that Dr. Wethington began his academic career at UK as an
instructor in Educational Psychology during the 1965-66 academic year. He then moved
into the administration of the Community College System with an appointment as Acting
Director of what was then called Lexington Technical Institute in 1966. He was
appointed as the Director of Maysville Community College in 1967. After his
administrative promotion in 1971 to Assistant Vice President of the Community College
System, the Board acted to confer on him an academic status of Associate Professor in
the Community College System in 1971. In 1981 Dr. Wethington was appointed as Vice
President of the UK Community College System. He became Chancellor of that
Community College System in 1982 and President of the University of Kentucky in
1991.
        In accordance with Dr. Wethington's contract, on July 1, 2003, he had the
option to assume the academic duties of Associate Professor with tenure that the Board
conferred on him in 1971. He has chosen to exercise that option. His academic
assignment is in the Lexington Community College. It will be in the Division of
Humanities and Business and Technology. The faculty of that division, having been a
part of this process, was consulted about that assignment.

        President Todd reported that he had informed Dr. Wethington that he will set
down with Dr. Jim Kerley to talk about his Distribution of Effort. It will include
teaching, and Dr. Kerley and Dr. Wethington will work on that. It will have to be
approved by the Provost, and then he will be assigned as a result of this PR 2 action to the
Lexington Community College as a tenured associate professor. President Todd said that
was the only item that he would mention in PR 2.

        Mr. Reed asked for a motion to approve PR 2. Mr. Shoop moved approval. Ms.
Sims seconded the motion, and it carried without dissent. (See PR 2 at the end of the
Minutes.)
