             fundraising goal required to match a $1 million grant

       President Wethington asked that the members review the other
significant items in the report at their leisure.

       Professor Betts stated that he had learned with great delight
that Professor Judith Rhoads has received an American Council on
Education Fellowship, and he wanted to congratulate her publicly.

       President Wethington stated that he and Professor Rhoads had
discussed the Fellowship; however, he had not received the official
notice about her award. He congratulated Professor Rhoads and noted
that the award would officially be reflected at the April 2, 1991
Board meeting.

       D.    Personnel Actions (PR 2)

       President Wethington recommended that approval be given to the
routine appointments, actions and/or other staff changes which require
Board action. Mr. Farmer so moved. The motion, seconded by Mr.
Burnett, carried. (See PR 2 at the end of the Minutes.)

       E.    Status Report on Campus Development Plan

       President Wethington reminded the Board of the passage of
Senate Bill 46 in the 1990 session of the General Assembly which
requires all institutions of higher education to have a current master
plan. He noted that the master plan for the University System in
Lexington had not been updated since 1965.

       He stated that the administration had recognized the need for a
master plan prior to the Senate Bill being passed and efforts had
begun to update the campus development plan with the assistance of a
consulting firm, Hanson-Lind-Meyer. Since 1989, members of the
University community, the Lexington Fayette Urban County Government
and neighbors surrounding the campus have been involved in arriving at
a preliminary version of the plan. The goal has been to improve the
overall quality of the campus and look toward the future in planning
for the campus development, including roads and parking.
