     Mr. Wilcoxson and Mr. Sturgill commended President Wethington, the
faculty and staff, the students, and committee members for the good job and
hard work that they have done in trying to meet the demands of the budget
reductions.

     In anticipation of questions from the public, Mrs. Bell asked for an
explanation about the recommendation to eliminate degree programs. Chancellor
Hemenway explained the process for examining the total curriculum and
indicated that the programs discussed were from faculty recommendations.
Chancellor Bosomworth pointed out that while certain programs would be
eliminated, many of the functions in those degree programs would be captured
in more broad based programs in other areas of the University. Chancellor
Hemenway said that there would be a considerable amount of deliberation about
the degree programs before any were eliminated.

     Governor Breathitt asked for further comments or questions. He expressed
appreciation to President Wethington for the straightforward way he, his
faculty and staff, and the university community have approached the situation
and for making this report available to the public so that everyone will have
an understanding of the process and the results of the whole effort.

     E.  Appointment of Director. University of Kentucky Lucille Parker
Markey Cancer Center (PR 6A)

his research background is at the very forefront of health care research
today. Dr. Powell made a motion to approve the appointment of Dr. Foon. Her
motion, seconded by Mr. Rose, carried unanimously. Dr. Foon was in attendance
and was asked to stand and be recognized, following which he received a round
of applause. (See PR 6A at the end of the Minutes.)
