     J.   Increase in Graduate School Application Fee (PR 3E)

     President Wethington recommended that the Board increase the
Graduate School Application Fee to $30 for domestic applications and to $35
for international applications effective with applicants for the Spring 1996
Semester. He noted that this increase will take the University to the median
of benchmark institutions and the fees from this increase will be used to
enhance recruitment and admissions into the Graduate School. Mr.
Chellgren moved approval. The motion, seconded by Mrs. Weinberg, carried.

Jefferson Community College (PR 4A)

      President Wethington reminded the Board that new degree programs
must have Board approval prior to going to the Council on Higher Education
for consideration for approval. He recommended that the Board authorize
for submission to the Council on Higher Education a new degree program,
Associate Degree in AppliedScience, Quality Technology, for the Jefferson
Community College. He asked Chancellor Carr to comment on PR 4A.

      Chancellor Carr reported that two studies had been done in the greater
Louisville area by the Chamber of Commerce in 1992-1994 which indicate by

proportion of quality managed businesses in the United States. This is

the facilitators under the new management style that service industries and
manufacturing are using. This two-year program is in direct response to that
kind of need.

      On motion made by Professor Sistarenik, seconded by Mrs. Sims and
passed, PR 4A was approved. (See PR 4A at the end of the Minutes.)
