       E.   Minutes Approved

       On motion made by Judge Stephens, seconded by Mr. Stricker and
passed, the Minutes of the April 5, 1988 meeting of the Board of
Trustees were approved as written.

       F.    President's Report to the Trustees (PR 1)

       In reviewing his "Report to the Trustees," President Roselle
called attention to the following items:

       H. David Wilson, professor of pediatrics, named an American
       Council on Education Fellow.

       College of Medicine received charitable gifts in 1987 from
       individuals, corporations, foundations, trusts, and associations
       totaling $3,410,052.
       The afternoon of Saturday, August 20, has been set for the second
       annual Fall Orientation Opening Convocation and President's
       reception for new students at the University. This year's
       freshmen class will be the most highly qualified class ever to
       enter the University.

       Robert .1. Shepherd, Plant Pathology, elected to the National
       Academy of Sciences. Dr. Shepherd is the first person from a
       Kentucky institution to be named to the nation's most prestigious
       scientific organization. In view of the limited membership, it
       is very significant that Dr. Shepherd was elected to the
       Academy. The University is very proud to have him affiliated
       with the Tobacco and Health Research Institute and as a faculty
       member in the Department of Plant Pathology. Dr. Shepherd is in
       Ireland and could not be present at the Board meeting.

       G. NCAA Investigation

       President Roselle reported on recent allegations appearing in a
California newspaper indicating that the University's coaching staff may
have violated NCAA rules in connection with the recruitment of a
basketball player in Los Angeles. Upon learning of the charges, the
University informed the NCAA of same; although the University's report
preceded publication of the news story, the NCAA advised that it had
already been made aware of the impending news story. President Roselle
also reported on the engagement of independent outside legal counsel,
Honorable James Park, Jr. of the firm of Brown, Todd and Heyburn, to
conduct an investigation of these matters. He stated that the
investigation by Mr. Park will, to some extent, be conducted in
cooperation with the NCAA; in any event the investigation is not to be
under the direction of the President.

      H. Minority Affairs Incentive Program

      President Roselle stated that the subject of minority affairs was
of considerable importance to the University of Kentucky. He explained
that he had recently had an opportunity to meet with a lot of people
interested in the minority affairs issue and stated that their concerns
are the same as the University's concerns.  He indicated he had spent
some time with students hearing their ideas about minority affairs, and
expressed his pleasure that these students are enrolled at the
University. He added that the students were helpful, constructive,
supportive and a delight to work with. The students were asked to stand
and be recognized, following which they were given a round of applause.

      Through a series of charts, President Roselle reviewed his
four-part incentive minority affairs program and explained how he and
his staff are viewing the problem.  The presentation consisted of the
following:

   1. University's current standing in minority relations

       He reported that the University has 3.5% black student population
       on the Lexington Campus in a population pool of 7.6%; therefore,
       the University ratio is .46 to the state population. He added
       that a reasonable University goal would he to double the black
       student population.  He then reviewed the statistics for other
       states and noted that the problem is national.  He pointed out
       that the Community College System has 6.3% black student
       population.

       President Roselle stated that the minority staff situation at the
       University is favorable in a numerical sense.  However, he noted
       that many minorities are employed in entry level positions, and
       this indicates the need for staff development programs.

       President Roselle next pointed out that the University of
       Kentucky recruits its faculty from a national pool and UK is the
       lowest in terms of percentage.  Again, he emphasized that this is
       not an easy problem to solve, but it is an area in which the
       University needs to do much better. Also, he said, the pools
       from which minorities are hired are smaller than desirable and
       need to be increased.

   2. On-going programs at the University for minority relations

       President Roselle reviewed some of the University's
       accomplishments including: a Vice Chancellor for Minority Affairs
       Office established in 1975; a Learning Resources Center for
       minority students created in 1976 which was recently relocated to
       a newly acquired and renovated house; a dedication of space in
       the Student Center for the Martin Luther King, Jr. Cultural
       Center; a series of programs for minorities including black
       lecturers and artists, recognition of academic achievement and
       special recruitment programs for health professionals; increased
       financial aid to minority students; and a $100,000 endowment fund
       in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. by an anonymous donor.

   3. New initiatives for minority relations

      President Roselle introduced two programs designed to increase
      the number of minority faculty members to be implemented in the
      next fiscal year.

      One program will be established whereby funds will be provided
      from the President's Office for the first year of employment of
      black faculty to vacant positions. He explained that departments
      will be able to retain the money in the salary line for
      programmatic needs, and after the first year, the funding
      responsibility will be assumed by the academic departments. He
      pointed out that the success of any program in hiring minority
      faculty depends upon the active and affirmative involvement of
      the faculty. He noted that the small number of black faculty is
      the University's largest deficit area related to minority
      i nvol vement.

      The other program will provide $100,000 to establish a fellowship
      program with the objective of encouraging black enrollment in the
      graduate and professional programs. He continued that this
      should enable more black students to become part of the pool of
      potential faculty members. Increases in the number of black
      faculty is one of the University's highest priorities.

   4. Proposals to address the concerns of minority relations

      President Roselle reviewed the plan to address minority
      concerns. He indicated that workshops or seminars would be
      implemented in August for administrators, faculty, staff, and
      students to help them better understand the circumstance of being
      black on a predominantly white campus. He added that there would
      be orientations with follow through programs for new black
      faculty members. Further, the plan is to put cross-cultural
      studies programs in the curriculum and enhance career development
      for the minority staff.

      President Roselle concluded his remarks by saying that the Office
for Vice Chancellor for Minority Affairs has implemented many excellent
programs. The current proposals indicate that there is still work to do
and the attitude should be that the University wants to get on with an
affirmative, successful program.

      Mr. McCowan commended President Roselle on his incentive program
and read the following resolution to the Board.

      WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of the University of Kentucky
      desires that all Kentuckians be afforded access to the
      University's programs, and

      WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees desires to evidence the best
      principles of an affirmative action employer, and




 





- 5 -



      WHEREAS, the University of Kentucky strives to provide an
      atmosphere where all persons are welcomed and feel comfortable
      pursuing their work, studies, and social activities, and

      WHEREAS, the members of the Board of Trustees desire to conduct
      the business of the University of Kentucky in a manner that is
      acceptable to all persons,

      NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees
      instructs President David Roselle and members of his staff to
      strengthen existing programs related to minority affairs and to
      further investigate the implementation of additional such
      programs. in particular, the Board of Trustees endorses the
      incentive plan for hiring additional minority faculty and the
      fellowship program for black graduate and professional students.
      Moreover, the Board of Trustees encourages active consideration
      of workshops on minority concerns, minority staff development
      programs, and other programs designed to clearly establish the
      University as an institution devoted to the advancement of
      minority students and employees.

      Judge Stephens made a motion that the resolution be adopted. The
motion was seconded by Mrs. Hayes and unanimously carried.

       I. Personnel Actions (PR 2)

       In recommending approval of the appointments, actions and/or
staff changes in PR 2, President Roselle called attention to the
appointment of Rutheford B. Campbell, Jr. as the new Dean of the College
of Law and called upon Chancellor Gallaher.

Chancellor Gallaher indicated his pleasure in commenting on Professor
Campbell's recommendation. He stated that a search committee had been
appointed and had come back with a very strong recommendation that
Professor Campbell be the new dean. He reviewed Professor Campbell 's
credentials and experience. Professor Campbell was asked to stand and
be recognized, following which he was given a round of applause.

       On motion made by Judge Wilhoit, seconded by Dr. Pisacano and
carried, the appointment of Rutheford B. Campbell, Jr. was approved.

       Judge Stephens commented that the College of Law's future would
be in very good hands with Rutheford B. Campbell.

       Governor Chandler recommended that a resolution be written and
adopted commending Dean Robert Lawson for his outstanding service during
his years as dean of the College of Law. Mr. McCowan made a motion
that a resolution be written for the next Board meeting. The motion
carried.

       The motion, which was made by Mr. Clay and seconded by Mrs.
Hayes, to approve the appointments and staff changes in PR 2 carried.
(See PR 2 at the end of the Minutes.)

       J. Confirmation of 1988-89 Tuition Schedule (PR 3B)

       President Roselle reminded the members that the Council on Higher
Education is empowered and charged with the responsibility of setting
tuition at the state institutions. He reviewed the changes in the
tuition schedule as adopted by the Council for 1988-89 and recommended
that the Board approve PR 3B. Mr. Hershey so moved. The motion was
seconded by Judge Tackett and carried. (See PR 3B at the end of the
Minutes.)

       K. Adoption of 1988-89 Fee Schedule (PR 3C)

       Mr. Carter stated that the fee schedule is beyond the tuition
schedule recommended by the Council on Higher Education. He pointed out
that the dollar increase in support of WRFL radio station was approved
in October. He added that the $25 increase in the student health fee is
a revenue measure to support the programs of the 1988-89 budget. He
pointed out that the current fee of $25 a semester has been in effect
for eight years and covers about half of the operating costs of student
health service. Further, this proposal to increase the fee to $50 a
semester would make the student health service totally self-supporting
in terms of student fees. He explained that fees at the institution
have been kept at a very reasonable level for a long period of time;
moreover, student fees at the University are currently low compared to
benchmark institutions. He emphasized that this is a budgetary item and
a source of support for the operating budget generating ahout $900,000
to go into support of the budget that will be acted on at the June
meeting. The administration will continue to look at this area in terms
of student activity fees as a revenue measure throughout the biennium
because of the budgetary problems facing the institution.

       Mr. Stricker made a motion to approve PR 3C. The motion was
seconded by Mr. Bates and carried. (See PR 3C at the end of the
Minutes.)

       Ms. Weaver stated that the figure for fees compared with other
universities is misleading. She pointed out that in some universities
the Student Government gets $40-$50 per student. The University of
Kentucky Student Government has not chosen to tax the students more than
$3.50 per student. Also, she said, it is not clear what services
throughout the universities are supported via student fees or whether
its student imposed types of programs that are done for student fees.
It is very difficult to make that kind of comparative basis for student
fees.

       Ms. Weaver explained that there were a lot of steps involved when
the student fees were increased by a dollar to support the student
funded radio station and reviewed the process: discussions by Student
Government Association, hearings by students on campus, and a survey.
She complained that she did not receive notice of the fee increase until
receiving her Board packet. She then stated that the proposal is
serious, the effect is serious, and the philosophy behind the proposal
is serious.

      Ms. Weaver stated that the $25 fee is going to be added to
student health; however, the general fund support for student health is
going to be removed and put back into the general fund. She pointed out
that the effect is the same as if you were increasing student tuition by
$25.

      Ms. Weaver then reported that the Council on Higher Education had
set up hearings at every college in the state when it considered raising
tuition, and asked that the same level of consideration be given to
students when considering an increase in fees.

      Ms. Weaver concluded by saying that there is a serious question
to be raised about the political dynamics involved.  When the $25
student health fee became mandatory, the students supported making the
$25 fee mandatory. She stated that the students were consulted when the
fee was put in motion but were not consulted about doubling the fee.
She emphasized the importance of student involvement.

       Dr. Pisacano stated that Ms. Weaver had some valid points and
recommended that the students be involved in consideration of health fee
increases before submitting to the Board for action.  He then moved that
PR 3C be tabled.

       Mr. Hershey stated that if the fees have not been raised in eight
years, he does not see it to be alarming that there be an increase.  He
pointed out that health costs have gone up considerably over this
eight-year period.

       Mr. Carter stated that maintaining the existing level of student
health service is the highest priority of the committee which represents
the student body in this matter.  He explained that the purpose of this
recommendation is to maintain the level of student health service and to
move $900,000 of general fund money into the academic programs.  He then
pointed out that many of the student fees have been imposed by the Board
without any discussion with students.

       Judge Stephens was sympathetic to Ms. Weaver's request and stated
that he did not think Ms. Weaver's request was unreasonable.

       Professor Betts added that Ms. Weaver's comments were clear,
articulate and forthright. He expressed his feelings that she is
perfectly correct in that a previous procedure was not followed in this
particular instance.

       President Roselle pointed out that the University has a serious
budgetary problem and to take $1,000,000 out of the budget presents a
difficult problem. He explained that the proposal arises from a need
for additional revenue at the University. The alternative will be to
reduce the medical services provided to the students or reduce the
academic programs so as to continue the supplement for those programs.

       Mr. Bates stated that if the hearing process is followed, he
feels the good judgment of the student body would realize that in eight
years increases have to be made.  Further, he would rather have it done
now and have a full blown student health fee and services.




 





- 8 -



      Ms. Weaver remarked that the services received in student health
are worth $50; however, she does not know the students' reaction to
doubling the health fee, and pleaded that this fee be discussed by the
students.

      Mrs. Hayes asked if there was time to discuss the issue with
students since the semester ending May 6. Ms. Weaver indicated that
there was an interim student representative body.

      Mrs. Jean Cox reported that at the time a mandatory fee was
established, it was at the vote of the student body which was very
rewarding. She explained that the understanding was that everything
within administrative power be done to keep the health fee low, and this
has been the case for eight years. Further, the budget of the health
service is not under consideration. It is whether or not the general
funds for it will remain there.  She pointed out that the budget of the
health service has not increased, and the process did work.  She
concluded that the health service seems to be caught up in a budgetary
consideration that is outside of its concept.

       On motion made by Dr. Pisacano, seconded by Mr. Stricker, and
carried, PR 3C was reconsidered and tabled until the June 21 meeting.
Mr. Hershey voted nay.

       L. Establishment of a for Profit Subsidiary Corporation (PR 3D)

       President Roselle recommended that the Board authorize the
University of Kentucky Research Foundation to consider the establishment
of a for profit subsidiary corporation. He explained that this will
enable the faculty to be able to capitalize on some intellectual
properties with commercial value while at the same time avoid any
conflict with the University's not-for-profit status. Mr. Clay so
moved. The motion was seconded by Mr. Wilcoxson and carried.   (See PR
3D at the end of the Minutes.)

       M. Candidates for Degrees - Community College System (PR 4A)

       With President Roselle so recommending, Mrs. Hayes moved that the
degrees specified in PR 4A be awarded to the persons named, upon
certification that the requirements for those degrees have been
satisfactorily completed. The motion was seconded by Judge Tackett and
passed without dissent. (See PR 4A at the end of the Minutes.)

       N. Candidates for Degrees - Lexington Campus and Medical Center
(PR 5A)

       Mr. Hershey moved that the list of candidates for degrees in the
Lexington Campus and Medical Center sectors as recommended in PR 5A be
approved.  The motion was seconded by Judge Stephens and carried.  (See
PR SA at the end of the Minutes.)

       0. Change in Titles of Two Academic Degrees (PR 5B)

       President Roselle recommended that the Board approve the change
in titles of two degrees from the Bachelor of Science in Metallurgical
Engineering and the Master of Science in Metallurgical Engineering and
Materials Science to the Bachelor of Science in Materials Engineering
and the Master of Science in Materials Science and Engineering,
respectively, and authorize the awarding of the new degrees to those
students who satisfactorily complete the pertinent requirements for such
as established by the University Senate, effective Fall Semester 1988.
The motion, which was made by Professor Betts and seconded by Judge
Tackett, unanimously carried. (See PR 5B at the end of the Minutes.)

       P. Appointment to University of Kentucky Equine Research
Foundation (PR 5C)

       President Roselle recommended that approval be given to the
appointment of Margaret Brady Glass as a member, representing the equine
industry, to the Board of Directors of the University of Kentucky Equine
Research Foundation for a term ending December 1992.  He stated that
Mrs. Glass is a great friend to the University and has helped with a
recent project directly affecting the Equine Research Foundation; a gift
of $2.5M for endowment of a chair and $500,000 for general endowment of
the program at the Equine Research Foundation. The money came from the
Markey Trust on which Mrs. Glass serves as a board member.  Mr. Clay so
moved. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hershey and carried.    (See PR 5C
at the end of the Minutes.)

       Q. Frederick Van Lennep Professorship in Equine Veterinary
Science (PR FD)

       President Roselle recommended that the Board of Trustees
establish in the Department of Veterinary Science the Frederick Van
Lennep Professorship in Equine Veterinary Science.  The motion, made by
Mr. Wilcoxson and seconded by Mr. Stricker, carried.   (See PR 5D at the
end of the Minutes.)

       Chancellor Gallaher indicated his pleasure in introducing the
first holder of the Frederick Van Lennep professorship, Dr. Peter
Timoney. He reviewed briefly Dr. Timoney's credentials and experience
and asked Dr. Timoney to stand and be recognized, following which he was
given a round of applause.

       R. Establishment of International Student Fee (PR 5E) and
Establishment of Sponsored International Student Service Fee (PR 5F)

       Dr. Blanton stated that the University was in the process of
trying to upgrade the Office of International Affairs. He reported that
there are approximately 800 international students currently on campus
and these students require additional services beyond the typical
services rendered to students, i.e., visa, banking and nutrition
problems. He explained that, in order to generate some additional
dollars for the Office of International Affairs, PR 5E will charge the
international student a $50 fee for services and this fee will flow back
to the Office of International Affairs during the course of the year.




 





- 10 -



       Dr. Blanton continued with PR 5F and stated that the University
has contractual arrangements with foreign governments; Indonesia being
the most prominent. He explained that the foreign governments send a
group of students to the University of Kentucky, and the University
provides particular services for them. He stated that the fee of $300
per semester is for the provision of special services to sponsored
students and the organization administering their fellowship.

       He explained that the fees in PR 5E and PR 5F are being proposed
to support and provide better services for international students. He
then detailed some of the expense items involved in dealing with
international students and emphasized that the fees are for additional
services to be provided by the Office of International Affairs.

       Chancellor Gallaher pointed out that the sponsored international
student service fee involves a lot of services.  He explained that not
all of the students go to the University of Kentucky, but the
University serves as the sponsoring agency. He added that the $300 fee
is a standard fee that is charged by most universities throughout the
country.

       On motion made by Mr. Hershey, seconded by Mr. Stricker and
passed, PR SE was approved. (See PR 5E at the end of the Minutes.)

       Mr. Stricker then made a motion to approve PR 5F. The motion was
seconded by Mr. Hershey and carried. (See PR 5F at the end of the
Minutes.)

       S. Establishment of Graduate School Application Fee (PR 5G)

       President Roselle reported that the Dean of the Graduate School
surveyed twenty institutions in the midwest and southeast and found
there is only one other institution that does not have a graduate school
application fee. The average application fee is $20 and most of the
graduate schools have a larger application fee for international
students because of the increased cost in processing.  He then
recommended that the Board establish a Graduate School application fee
of $20 for domestic applications and $25 for international applications
effective with the applicants for the Fall Semester 1989. Dr. Pisacano
so moved. The motion was seconded by Dr. Wilcoxson and unanimously
carried. (See PR 5G at the end of the Minutes.)

       T. Establishment of Undergraduate Application for Admission Fee
(PR 5H)

       President Roselle pointed out that PR 5G and PR SH are
expenditure decreasing measures; not revenue increasing measures. The
purpose is to reduce the number of casual applications that the
University receives. He then recommended approval of the application
fee as specified in PR 5H. On motion made by Mr. Bates, seconded by Mr.
Hershey and carried, PR 5H was approved. (See PR 5H at the end of the
Minutes.)

       U. Increase in Late Registration Fee (PR SI)

       President Roselle stated that PR 5I is an increase in the late
registration fee and explained that the late registration fee is
completely avoidable. He reported that the fee was set at $20 in 1966,
and PR SI proposes to raise the fee to $40 effective the Fall Semester
1988. He then recommended that PR 5I be approved. Judge Stephens so
moved. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hershey.

       Ms. Weaver expressed concern about raising the late registration
fee, and stated that she had met with Dr. Dahl to discuss the problems.
She stated that the greatest problem for students is not the late
registration fee but a lack of money with which to advance register.
She then reviewed the advance registration fee process and stated that
it is a disincentive. In Ms. Weaver's opinion, it presents a cash flow
problem for students by forcing them to pay $50 at the end of the
semester before the students receive their financial aid or student
loans. She made a motion that PR 5I be tabled. She asked that the
advance registration fee be reduced fron $50 to $25, and that the
advance registration and late registration fees be coupled. By coupling
the fees, something positive along with something negative will go
further in solving the problem of late registration. She indicated that
the Student Government would be open to the idea of polling students at
the next late registration period.

       nr. Blanton informed the Board that about 900 of the 23,000
students late register and stated that the University will save an
enormous amount of administrative work by making rules that work for the
larger number of students. He also provided an explanation for the fee
being imposed.

       Dr. Blanton stated that with implementation of the new student
records system the advance registration fee will be dropped because the
system will provide adequate notification with respect to classes.
However, the University will not want to retreat from the late
registration penalty incentive fee.

       Mr. Stricker pointed out that it had been 22 years since the
price of $20 had been set and $40 is a very fair price. He stated that
Ms. Weaver's problem is a different issue and an increase in the late
registration fee is long overdue.

       Mr. McCowan asked for a vote on the motion to table PR 5I, and
the motion failed to carry.

       Mr. McCowan then proceeded with Judge Stephens previous motion,
which had been seconded by Mr. Hershey, to approve PR 5I. The motion
