Members, Board of Trustees:

               RESIDENCY STATUS OF SCOTT CROSBIE


Recommendation:  that the Board declare Mr. Scott Crosbie,
President elect of the University of Kentucky Student
Government, a Kentucky resident for the purpose of service as
a University trustee pursuant to KRS 164.130(4).

Background:  KRS 164.130(4) relating to the student member of
the Board of Trustees provides that:

        "The student member shall be the president of
        the student body of the university during the
        appropriate academic year.  If the student
        member does not maintain his position as
        student body president or his status as a
        full-time student at any time during that
        academic year or does not maintain his
        permanent residency in the Commonwealth of
        Kentucky, a special election shall be held to
          select a full-time student who does maintain
          permanent residency in this Commonwealth as
          the student member. The student member shall
          serve for a term of one (1) year beginning
          with the first meeting of the fiscal year
          which contains that academic year."

          Following his election as the President of the Student
Government, Mr. Crosbie's attorney sent the attached letter and
sworn statement requesting that the Board acknowledge his right
to serve as a member.

          In view of his sworn statement, and the absence of
contradictory evidence it seems appropriate to declare
Mr. Crosbie a resident.
