      P.  Confirmation of Non-Resident Fees/Establishing Activity Fee (FCR 4)

      Mr. Clay explained that the Finance Committee regretted the necessity
of presenting a recommendation to increase fees, but felt there was no other
alternative available.  Since the recommendation in FCR 4 was in three parts,
Mr. Clay suggested that the parts be acted upon separately.

      The first recommendation related to increases in the fees for non-
resident students as established by the Council on Higher Education in April,
1978, which required confirmation by the Board of Trustees. Mr. Clay moved
that the Board of Trustees confirm the changes in the fee schedule for non-
resident students for semester/annual sessions at the University of Kentucky
as established by the Council on Higher Education on April 12, 1978. His
motion was seconded by Mr. Gorman. In the discussion that followed, Professor
Adelstein indicated his intent to cast a symbolic vote of "nay" explaining that
the University Senate had adopted a resolution opposing such an increase in
non-resident fees, that he personally felt out-of-state students made a very
definite contribution to the University, that the children of University alumni
living outside Kentucky deserved some consideration, and that the out-of-state
dollars which these students and their families bring into the community is
good for the economy. In answer to a question by Mr. Palmer, President
Singletary said that the University was approximately $400 below the fee
median of the benchmark institutions and explained that the Council on
Higher Education acts on these fees under Kentucky law, considering, among
other things, what Kentucky students are paying in other states. There being
no other discussion, Mr. Sturgill called for the vote on Mr. Clay's motion
which passed with Professor Adelstein casting the only nay vote. (See FCR 4(1)
at the end of the Minutes.)

      The second part of the recommendation in FCR 4 related to a proposed
increase in the student activity fee of $6 per semester over a two year period.
After noting that the fee had not been increased since 1950, Mr. Clay moved
that the Board of Trustees increase the Student Activity Fee by $6 per semester
over a two-year period by establishing a semester fee of $9.25 effective in the
fall of 1978 and $12.25 effective in the fall of 1979. The motion was
seconded by Mr. Homer Ramsey. At this point, President Singletary explained
that on July 1, 1978, the University of Kentucky must bring the Women's
Athletics Program into compliance with Title IX of the Education Amendments
of 1972. Funds had been requested for this purpose in the Biennial Budget
Request but had not been granted. The Athletics Association will make the
largest contribution and the University will provide from General Funds
approximately one-third of the cost involved. The only other source
of income available is from the Student Activity Fee.

      There being no further discussion, Mr. Sturgill called for a vote on
Mr. Clay's motion which passed with no dissenting votes. (See FCR 4(2)
at the end of the Minutes.)

      The third part of FCR 4 recommended that the Board of Trustees
establish corresponding part-time and summer school charges under the guide-
lines of the Council on Higher Education and Mr. Clay so moved.   His motion
was seconded by Mr. Palmer and passed without dissent.   (See FCR 4(3) at the
end of the Minutes.)
