Telephone Conference Call Meeting of the Executive Committee,
Board of Trustees, University of Kentucky, Friday, March 10, 1978.



      At 2:00 p.m. on Friday, March 10, 1978, a telephone conference
call was held with members of the Executive Committee of the Board of
Trustees for the purpose of acting on a recommendation relative to faculty
salary supplementation in the College of Dentistry and the College of Medicine.
The following members answered the roll call: Mr. William B. Sturgill,
Chairman; Mr. Albert G. Clay, and Mr. William R. Black. Mr. George
Griffin was not available for the call. Professor Paul Sears, ex officio
secretary, participated in the call as did President Otis A. Singletary.

       President Singletary explained that approval of the budget revision
covering the above matter was needed prior to the April 4, 1978, meeting of
the Board of Trustees. After reminding the members that the Board
on December 10, 1974, had adopted the 'Provisions for Supplemental
Compensation Under the Physicians' Service Plan" which provides for
salary supplementation on a semi-annual basis, he said that such supple-
mental compensation is established by action of the Board of Trustees
upon supplementary operating budgets covering six-months periods. This
proposed action is for the six month period beginning July 1, 1977, and
ending December 31, 1977.

       President Singletary then recommended that approval be given to an
increase of $1, 1 12, 400 in the grant from the Fund for the Advancement
of Education and Research in the UK Medical Center in order to support
faculty salary supplementation of $88, 900 in the College of Dentistry and
$1, 023, 500 in the College of Medicine. Mr. Clay moved approval of
President Singletary's recommendation. His motion was seconded by
Mr. Black and passed with all participants voting aye.

       There being no further business, the conference call meeting was
ended.

                                Respectfully submitted,



Paul G. Sears, Secretary
Board of Trustees
