      The university received $7 million worth of bonding authority for the Basketball
Practice Facility. The budget also authorizes the university to complete the full scope of
the project with institutional funds.

      The university received $270, 000 in state funds to design an Eastern Kentucky
University/UK Dairy Research and Education Center. This will be a joint dairy merger at
Eastern's Meadowbrook Farm. It will allow us to remove dairy operations from the
Coldstream space and put it in a place that will be more appropriate.

      President Todd said that he is very pleased the budget passed. There will be a
final vote on the budget within two weeks.
