UK aims to improve job satisfaction

8y Juliann Vachon
news@kykernel.com

The majority of faculty who
responded to UK‘s Work-Life
Culture Survey are satisfied with
their jobs, but measures need to
be implemented to make sure
that number increases. UK offi-
cials said.

According to the survey, 60
percent of faculty respondents

their jobs at UK. while 25 per
cent said they were dissatisfied
or strongly dissatisfied and 15
percent chose a neutral re-
sponse.

UK President Lee Todd said
in an e—mail that while it is not
uncommon in the marketplace
to have employees wanting
more from their jobs. the point
of this survey was to get a base-
line to identify what needs to be
done to strive for higher satis—

faction in the workplace.

Todd said the chief areas of
concern for faculty revolve
around the challenging issue of
wages.

“We have to be more com-
petitive with our benchmarks to
recruit and retain the best and
brightest faculty,“ Todd said.

“We are making strides in
that regard. with the pay raises
we put in place this year for fac-
ulty and those we have planned

over the next several years as
part of our Top 20 Business
Plan." Todd said. “If we can
raise our pay and benefits to be
more competitive with our
benchmark universities. I‘m
confident we can raise those sat-
isfaction levels accordingly."
UK‘s Human Resource de-
partment conducted the survey,
polling almost half of all faculty
members in February and March
of this year and more than half

of all staff members in October
2005.

The survey listed stress and
burnout rates among faculty as
another area to focus on for im-
provement.

Forty-seven percent of fac-
ulty said the stress they feel af-
fects their health: 74 percent
said they feel like no matter how
hard they work. they can‘t get
everything finished; and 61 per-
cent said they feel physically

and emotionally drained at the
end of a workday.

“We need to significantly
expand the size of the faculty
and pay them better to compete
with the institutions we‘re being
measured against. but to also en-
sure that we are creating the
right work-life balance at the in-
stitution not only for faculty, but
staff as well," Todd said.

Appalachian school dlStt‘lCt get funding
to improve math and science programs

By Kristin Badnanki
news®kykernel com

Some Kentucky students have fallen
behind in core subjects like math and
science. but new funding and partner-
ships are being provided to remedy that
problem.

UK President Lee Todd announced
Sept. 18 that the Appalachian Mathemat~
ics and Science Partnership issued a
third round of Partnership Enhancement
Programs for schools in 20 Appalachian
counties in Kentucky. Tennessee and
Virginia.

The main goal of PEP has been unit-
ing colleges and school districts. said
John Yopp. AMSP‘s project director.

“We have fallen behind in the math
and science content areas. and we are
going to attack this problem through re-

search and entering into true partner-
ships. Our strategic plan is engagement.
a partnership between university and
community." Yopp said. “You listen to
your partners."

There are more than 41 programs
developed for the partnership: PEP is
one of the largest.

AMSP is a program to improve stu»
dent pcrfomiancc in math and science in
nine universities and 51 school districts
in Appalachia. The grants given to thc
school districts front AMSP this year to-
tal $564.638.

“We decided to do a program in or‘
der to get school districts to develop a
relationship with the universities." said
Wimberly Royster. AMSP founder at
UK.

“We have found that in rural coun~
ties. school districts do not interact with

higher-education universities." Roystcr
said. “PEP allows UK much more out
reach in the publioschool arena."

School districts compete to receive
the grants.

“Each year we send out an an—
nouncement to all of the 51 (school) dis-
tricts that we are going to have a compe—
tition for the grants." said Yopp. who
also serves as UK‘s associate provost for
educational partnerships. “We give them
guidelines. such as: What could you do
to improve your math and science?
Teachers write a grant and submit it.

“This program gives the teachers a
voice. It allows them to plan what they
would do if they had the money."

For instance. the teachers may think
they need more training or they need to
leam how to use technology. Yopp said.

Violence against women is something
UK takes seriously. and several friends of
the university are helping to fund that
cause.

At its Sept. 12 meeting. the [K Board

VIOLENCE

 

Continued from page 1

“This problem is only par-
tially a social issue.“ she said.
“Research can help us to under-
stand why it is that we do what
we do. There are many factors
we look at because the issue is

hind the issue. the cultural vari-
ables and the medical aspects."
Members of the board are
confident that the endowments
will considerably help a prob-
lem that is always a concern on

: campus.

“As always, we are grateful
for these substantial monetary
gifts. and they will be going to
further research on a very im—
portant cause that everyone
should concern themselves

so pervasive: the psychology be

with.“ said faculty trustee Jeff
Dembo.

Edwards agrees this money
will be put to good use.

”This is a solid start for a re-
search plan. I will never begin to
say that it is enough — it is nev-
er enough when there is so
much work that has to be done,"
Edwards said.

UK students benefit from
the research conducted by the
Center for Research on Violence

Against Women because their
findings are implemented by
campus programs. such as
Women‘s Place. to keep students
informed and protected. Ed-
wards said.

“This is not a problem we
can soon for. Violence against
women and children is not an is-
sue that should be taken lightly,“
Edwards said. “There must be a
tight marriage between research
and practice.“

 

FACULTY

Continued from page 1

Jeff Dembo. faculty representative on the Board of Trustees.
said there was a clear correlation between the burnout statistics
and the issues of understaffing. a lack of resources, and a grow-
ing student population.

“The burnout statistics are on target,“ Dembo said. “It is not
uncommon for employees at UK to try and do too much with too
little.“

Twenty-nine percent of faculty members surveyed identified
faculty colleagues as a reason to stay at UK. yet almost half rate
the time to develop relationships with colleagues as too little.

Todd said hiring more faculty members will address this
problem. The Top 20 Business Plan lays out a specific funding
course to increase faculty size from
about 1,900 to 2,500.

Another way the university can alle-
viate feelings of stress and burnout is to
show appreciation for the work faculty is
doing. Dembo said.

One-third of faculty respondents said
they felt valued by the university for
their scholarly and research contribu-
tions. their teaching contributions and
their service contributions. More than
half said they felt valued by their depart—
ment for these same criteria.

This survey was a positive step in
addressing statistics such as these by
tackling the concems head-on. Todd
- said.
appropnate “i think we took an important step in

action steps” addressing this concem by conducting

the kind of transparent and exhaustive

LAURA KOPPES survey we did." Todd said. “It demon-

Worktite director strates our willingness to confront our

_L__~__ challenges and address them in a

straightforward and open manner. We've

put together teams and committees to examine and, I hope. ad-

dress the speciiic concems being raised. given the resources we
have in place."

Laura Koppes. Work-Life director at UK. said she found the
results of the survey to be comparable to those of other large uni-
versities. according to the information she has access to.

Koppes also said it is important to remember that the survey
results only take into account the feelings of the 870 faculty re-
spondents.

“l hope colleges will further examine and discuss their col-
lege results with all their faculty members to determine relevant
and appropriate action steps," Koppes said.

Todd said he was pleased with the large response rate among
faculty members. The results reaffirmed challenges known to the
administration. including the need for more competitive pay and
benefits and the struggle to maintain a balance in work and life.

"On the other hand. the survey also afiinned that most peo-
ple see this as a good place to work." Todd said. "They value
their work. They value their colleagues. Those are wonderful at-
tributes that now we simply need to build on."

 

"I hope colleges
will further
examine and
discuss their
college results
with all their
faculty members

U|_( hosts DME recruitment
fair

UK is holding a recruitment
fair today to encourage minori-
ty- and women-owned business-
es to get involved with the uni-
versity.

The second annual Disad-
vantaged Business Enterprise
Recruitment Fair is sponsored
by the UK Purchasing Division
and Capital Project Management

Division.

More than 400 invitations
were mailed to regional busi~
nesses — 140 more than were
invited last year.

“UK understands that area.
and regional firms are not limit—
ed by ’their capability but rather
by access to opportunity." said
Bob Wiseman. UK's vice presi-
dent for facilities management.
"We are committed to aggres-
sively recruiting minority- and
women-owned businesses for
participation in our upcoming
construction projects."

Participants will learn about
specific upcoming construction
projects. including the Patient
Care Facility. Bio-Pharmacy
Building. Student Health Facili-
ty. Boone Center. Livestock Dis-
ease Diagnostic Center. Gill
Heart Fit-up and Campus/Med-
ical Center Physical Plant pro-
jects.

The recruitment fair is
scheduled to take place in the
Student Center Grand Ballroom
from 4:30 to 6:30 pm.

 

GRANTS

Continued from page 1

"This year the National Sci-
ence Foundation provided an
extra quarter of a million dol-
lars. allowing for more PEPs."
Yopp said. adding that each
grant given this year could total
up to $30,000.

The projects are part of the
largest National Science Foun—
dation grant ever received by
UK W more than $22 million
over five years. according to a
UK news release.

The new grants. which were
issued Sept. l8, are already in
progress.

Lewis County is creating an
innovative science curriculum.
Anderson County. Tenn. has cre—
ated an onlinc teacher develop-
ment with four courses to bridge
middle— and high-school math.
Clinton County is beginning to
develop high school/college

 

 

credit courses for math and sci-
ence students.

“In addition. UK formed
outreach professors. senior pro-
fessors for math and biology
who were hired to divide their
time between other school dis-
tricts and the university." Roys-
ter said. The two professors
from UK are Jeff Osbom and
Rich Millman. Both will dedi-
cate half of their time to the PEP
program.

Because of UK‘s strategic
plan. more than 4] grants were
awarded to various schools
throughout Kentucky. Tennessee
and Virginia. which will then
use them to complete their own
plans improving science and
mathematics.

“I have never been so im—
pressed or over-awed by a pro-
ject." Yopp said. “I have never
seen universities listen to the
teachers so much and value their
knowledge. and we have to re~
member that our students com-
ing to college are going to bene—
fit from this."

illiams impressive in debut at cente

By Jonathan Smith
ismith@kykemel corn

Trai Williams was getting fat.

When he entered Franklin—Simpson High
School as a freshman. be weighed 181) pounds.
When he left. he had ballooned to 280 pounds.

ln the middle of his expansion. his high-school
coach moved him from the fullback spot to offen-
sive guard because he was getting too big

Saturday against Florida, his transformation
continued when he started at center. It was the first
time in his career that he played the position.

"Trai played really a very remarkable game.“
head coach Rich Brooks said. "it was his first real
action at the center position live 7 and in a tough
place to do it. He graded out very well."

Brooks said Williams will likely start again
this week even if starter Matt McCutchan is ready
to go.

Not bad for a rookie to the position that was
getting too fat to play fullback.

“It‘s hard enough to block guys in this league
when you know the snap count and you're coming
off and you have use of both hands." Brooks said.
“But when one of them is between your legs giv-
ing the quarterback the ball. it‘s even more diffi—
cult. and he did a really good job."

Tamme has best game of season

With all of the success quarterback Andre
Woodson is having this season. it‘s a wonder tight
end Jacob Tamme entered the Florida game with
only two catches.

Tamme got back into the offensive swing of
things against the Gators with live catches for 39
yards.

lt has been a long time coming for a guy that
had two touchdown catches against Tennessee his
freshman season. and appeared ready to be the of—
fense‘s go»to guy

"It was nice to get a chance to make some
plays." Tamme said. “A couple times it just hapv
pened to be my number: it just happened to be me
that happened to be open."

I
Leger on the move

Jason Leger came to UK as a defensive line»
man and entered the season as a starter at one of
the defensive tackle spots.

But on Saturday against Florida. Leger played
more than half the game at left guard and will
make a permanent switch to the offensive line.
Brooks said yesterday.

VDIGE ACTORS!

Leger, a junior from Brodhead. Ky.. will start
at right guard this weekend against Central Michi—
gan.

“He brings toughness and quickness to the of—
fensive line. although he's short in stature as he
was on the defensive line." Brooks said. “He is a
very good football player. and he played extreme»
ly well in the game. considering he had three days
of practice

He will start in place of Fatu Turituri. who has
tendonitis in his knee.

Paris, Jones out; Little, McCutchan
still "very questionable"

Defensive end Jamil Paris will not play this
weekend after he was removed front the Florida
game with two episodes of an irregular heartbeat.
Brooks said.

Paris. a freshman from Gifford. Fla.. recorded
his first tackle against the Gators when he assisted
on a sack.

Brooks said Paris will undergo tests to deter-
mine his availability for the remainder of the sea-
son.

Offensive lineman Micah Jones will have
surgery repair his back and will miss the rest of
the season, Brooks said.

The sophomore from Mayfield. Ky..
played this season.

Running back Rafael Little and center Matt
McCutchan are still "very questionable." Brooks
said.

Little is nursing a sprained knee and turf toe
while McCutchan has been plagued by a high air
kle sprain. Both sat out the Florida game.

"We’re going to try to run him (Little) again
tomorrow." Brooks said. "The swelling obviously
is gone from the knee since it was drained. and
nothing has reappeared. so we will run him some
more tomorrow and see how it responds.”

Running back Tony Dixon suffered a bruised
shin in the Florida game and will likely be held
out of practice tomorrow as a precautionary mea:
sure. Brooks said Dixon will probably be ready to
go this weekend against (‘entral
