       REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE UNIVERSITY'S ADMINIS-
                       TRATIVE ORGANIZATION


                           Introduet ion

     The committee's report Is submitted in the form of proposed
changes in the Gaveraing Regulatlons Jf th Univeritj published
in June, 19366 and amended by the action of the Board of Trustees
of April 1, 1941.   If adopted by the Board of Trustees, the
regulations herein presented would supplant all previous regula-
tions in the areas covered.

     There are, however, several sections of the Go2erning Aegul&-
tions of =1 University not touched upon in this report.    It will
be imperative, therefore, if these proposals are accepted, that
a study be made of the entire regulations as published and amended
with a view to insuring that there will be one complete and con-
sistent set of governing rules for the University,   If this
report is approved, it is suggested that the President proceed
Immediately to request this or a new committee to harmonize the
remaining governing regulations of the institution with the or-
ganization herein provided.

     For the convenience of those who may be concerned, the
proposals hereinafter made are summarized as follows:

    1 The objective of the proposed organization Is to make
       possible an effective formulation of basic policies
       and a clear definition of functions, in order that
       the fundamental purposes of the University of Kentucky
       may be best achieved.   These would seem to be the
       most effective instruction of all students enrolled
       and the largest possible contribution to the state in
       the form of research and public services
