Members, Board of Trustees:

               CHANGE OF ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE OF THE
            KENTUCKY TOBACCO RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT CENTER

Recommendation: that the Board of Trustees approve the transfer of administrative oversight for
the Kentucky Tobacco Research and Development Center from the Vice President for Research
to the Dean, College of Agriculture.

Background: Part of the charge to the Futures Task Force was to make recommendations
concerning the administrative reporting relationships for the centers and institutes currently
reporting to the Vice President for Research. The Task Force responded to this charge with
several recommendations, including the transfer of the Kentucky Tobacco Research and
Development Center (previously known as the Tobacco and Health Research Institute) to the
College of Agriculture.

The Acting Vice President for Research has recommended this proposal and the Acting Provost
of the University supports this recommendation.
