             AACR 2 Candidates for Degrees - University System

      Ms. Wilson moved approval of the Consent Agenda. Her motion, seconded by
Ms. Edge, carried. (See PR 2, AACR 1 and AACR 2 at the end of the Minutes.)

      E.    President's Report to the Board of Trustees (PR 1)

      President Todd called attention to the following items in PR 1:

      I1.   The University of Kentucky breaks $200 million mark in research. This
             year's awards represent a 22.1 percent increase over last year. President
             Todd reported that the University is up 10% already over last July and he
             believes the strategies put in place last year will begin to take even more
             effect this year. He congratulated the faculty for a great performance.

      2.    Twenty-two African-American upperclassmen spent their summer
             working in the scientific laboratories and academic offices of several
             University of Kentucky professors hired under the state's Research
             Challenge Trust Fund program. This was a recommendation from the
             Commission for Diversity headed by Professor Deneese Jones at that time.
             President Todd and Governor Paul E. Patton presented certificates to the
             participants at the end of their work. President Todd said that this is the
             type of program that the University wants added to the KYSS program,
             Kentucky Young Scientists Summer Program.


      3.    The University of Kentucky broke ground for a new Center for Rural
             Health building in Hazard. The $13.1 million project represents a unique
             cooperative effort between the University of Kentucky, Kentucky
             Community and Technical College System (KCTCS), state, federal and
             private funding. This building will be named the Bailey-Stumbo building
             in honor of Dr. Stumbo who has contributed so much to that region.
             President Todd expressed congratulations to Dr. Stumbo.

      4.    The American Society for Virology brought nearly 1,300 of the world's
             most prominent researchers on plant, animal and human viruses to UK's
             campus for a five-day meeting. President Todd said that comments were
             made about it being the best conference held in the 21-year history of that
             society.

      5.    The University of Kentucky generated $1.5 million in royalties during
             fiscal 2001-2002 from intellectual property licensed for use by business
             and industry. President Todd noted that this is down somewhat; however,
             UK did have a record of 83 inventions disclosed this past year.




 




3 -



      6.    Five UK faculty have been named Fulbright Scholars for 2002-2003
             academic year, permitting them to study abroad. That is a great tribute to
             Rory Remer, Edward (Skip) Kifer, Mark Berger, Desmond Brown and
             Greg Brock. President Todd said he was proud of their accomplishments.

      7.    The University of Kentucky held its annual College Business and
             Management Institute in late July. President Todd reported that there were
             760 participants in that program this year. Dr. Jack Blanton was roasted at
             their banquet for his long-term participation and leadership in the
             conference. Dr. Todd expressed congratulations to Dr. Blanton for
             another great conference.

      8.    UK Trustee Russ Williams traveled to New York City in mid-July as one
             of 500 volunteer facilitators specially chosen from around the nation to
             assist in choosing the new World Trade Center proposals. President Todd
             expressed appreciation to Mr. Williams for taking the time to participate in
             the discussions and for representing the University in that endeavor.

      President Todd asked the Board to take note of the other "good stuff' in his report
that he did not have time to mention.

      F.    Introduction of Executive Committee of Staff Senate

      President Todd reminded the Board of its action last year to establish a Staff
Senate. He reported that elections had been held, and the Executive Committee of the
Staff Senate had been selected. He said that Mr. Williams had been a leader in this effort
and asked him to introduce the new members of the Staff Senate.

      Mr. Williams said that the Staff Senate is now in place. The Executive
Committee and other members of the Staff Senate were present to meet the Board. He
introduced the following 2002-2003 Staff Senate Executive Committee and Chairs of the
Standing Committees:

      Chair                      Bill Adkisson, Department of Surgery
      Vice Chair                 Vacant due to a transfer to another department
      Secretary                  Karen Michul, Coldstream Research Campus
      Treasurer                  Kim Judd, General Accounting
      Parliamentarian            Tyrone Gentry, Green County Cooperative
                                  Extension Office

      Chair, President's Advisory Committee  Paula Dunn
                                               Graduate and Family Housing

      Chair, Staff Trustee Advisory Committee  Dave Vantreese

      Chair, Election Committee               Mary Harralson
                                               College of Fine Arts

      Chair, Public Relations Committee     Bill Bruening
                                               Department of Agronomy

      Chair, Staff Issues Committee           Jonathan Demersseman
                                               College of Arts and Sciences

      Mr. Williams asked other staff senators in attendance to also stand and be
recognized, following which everyone received a round of applause.

      President Todd recognized Dr. Jeff Dembo, Chair of the Senate Council. He
congratulated him on his leadership role and said he looked forward to working with the
University Senate.

      G.    Update on Coldstream Research Campus

      President Todd said that the Board would have a presentation on some of the
facts, figures and accomplishments of Coldstream Research Campus. At a previous
Finance Committee meeting, Mr. Chellgren requested a review of the structure and the
leasing of property at Coldstream. President Todd indicated that a sub-committee of the
Finance Committee may be appointed to undertake that request, and he would be talking
with Mr. Chellgren about that. He asked Dr. Boling to introduce Ms. Kathy Stewart, who
would be making the Coldstream Research Campus presentation.

      Dr. Boling said that when President Todd became President of the University, he
reorganized where the Coldstream Research Campus lies within the University structure.
Prior to the reorganization, the Coldstream Research Campus had been handled by
Central Administration. It is now under the Office of the Vice President for Research and
the Office of the Associate Vice President for Research. Under the Office of the
Associate Vice President for Research, Dr. Joe Fink is responsible for Information
Services, ASTeCC, Intellectual Property and the Coldstream Research Campus.

      Dr. Boling said that Kathy Stewart is the Executive Director of the Coldstream
Research Campus. Ms. Stewart is a graduate of Georgetown College with a MBA from
Bellarmine College. She spent some of her early career at the National City Bank and
other financial institutions in Louisville. In the mid 1980's she came to Lexington as
Vice President in Commercial Lending at Citizens Union Bank and followed that at the
National City Bank. Her last bank appointment was with the PNC Bank. In 1999 she
came to the University and was appointed Executive Director of the Coldstream Research
Campus. She has been doing an excellent job for the University and will give an update
on the total campus at Coldstream.




 








      Ms. Stewart thanked Dr. Boling and the Board of Trustees for giving her the
opportunity to update them on Coldstream Research Campus. The presentation gave a
brief history of the Research Campus, demographic information and described the
amenities to tenants locating on the campus. Ms. Stewart's presentation detailed the
number of lots leased, mini-campus details, employee count and number of buildings,
including total square footage. The types of companies that have located at Coldstream
were discussed and a listing of the current tenants was detailed. Marketing partners were
presented, as was detailed financial data that showed preliminary June 30, 2002 revenues
of $467,500 and net income of $123,200. The presentation was closed with an offer to
the Board of Trustees to tour Coldstream and questions were entertained.

      President Todd said that Ms. Stewart had a passion and energy for her job, and he
appreciated what she does at Coldstream. He said that he had the pleasure long before he
became President of sitting on the zoning group that zoned Coldstream and going to City
Council meetings to get it processed, and he was fairly familiar with it.

      H.    Proposed Amendment to the Governing Regulations (PR 3)

      President Todd said that PR 3 is an amendment to the Governing Regulations that
clarifies the annual election of the Chairperson of the Board of Trustees. It is an election
of the Chairperson as one of the five voting members of the Executive Committee. This
is presented for preliminary consideration at this meeting and will be voted on at the next
meeting, provided at least one month has elapsed. President Todd said that no action was
necessary at this time.

      I.    Approval of Administrative Regulation AR 11-1.6-1 University of
Kentucky Retirement Plan (PR 4)

      President Todd said that PR 4 was an approval of administrative regulation
regarding the retirement plan. There was a need to define more clearly which University
positions are considered to be executive for purposes of mandatory retirement.
Previously, it read that mandatory retirement was applicable to people employed in bona
fide executive or high policy making positions for two or more years. For the purposes
of this new regulation, bona fide executive or high policy making position means the
President, Provost, Senior Vice Presidents, Vice Presidents, Deans of the academic
colleges, the Director of Athletics, and the General Counsel. This should be a little easier
to understand. He asked for a motion of approval of PR 4. Ms. Sims so moved. Her
motion, seconded by Ms. Wilson, carried. (See PR 4 at the end of he Minutes.)

      Mr. Miles said that there is a lot of discussion about the 65-year retirement. He
asked if this change affected the 65-year retirement in anyway.



President Todd said this would not change that. It is still there.




 




6 -



      Mr. Miles said that there has always been a misunderstanding about the 65-year
rule and a lot of people think that at 65 you are retired. He mentioned C. M. Newton who
went past age 65 and asked if this changed that.

      President Todd said that the Board can take action to override that rule so possibly
that is what accounts for that situation.

      J.    Appointment/Reappointment of Advisory Board at the Lexington
Community College (PR 5)

      President Todd said that PR 5 is the appointment/reappointment of the Advisory
Board members at Lexington Community College (LCC). The recommendation is that
Margaret Koffler and Reginald Thomas be appointed for four-year terms ending June 30,
2006 and the reappointment of Paula Hanson, 0. Randall Powell and William Wilson for
three-year terms ending June 30, 2005 to the Advisory Board at LCC. Mr. Williams
moved approval. Ms. Edge seconded the motion, and it carried. (See PR 5 at the end of
the Minutes.)

      K.    Appointment of Vice President for Student Affairs (PR 6)

      President Todd said that PR 6 is the Appointment of Vice President for Student
Affairs. He recommended that Dr. Patricia S. Terrell be appointed as Vice President for
Student Affairs effective August 14, 2002. Following Dr. Kuder's retirement, there was
a search to fill the position. Dr. Terrell, who is a graduate of this university and served in
capacities in student affairs at the University of Louisville as well as Southern Methodist
University and most recently at Utah State University, was selected and recommended by
that advisory group. He recommended the appointment of Dr. Terrell. Tim Robinson so
moved. Mr. Chellgren seconded the motion, and it passed.

      L.    Appointment of Vice President for Academic Outreach and Public Service
(PR 7)

      President Todd said that PR 7 is a request for the appointment of Vice President
for Academic Outreach and Public Service. He said his recommendation is based on the
search committee's recommendation. He recommended that Dr. Retia Scott Walker be
appointed Vice President for Academic Outreach and Public Service effective August 14,
2002. He reminded the Board that it recently approved the formation of the position. It
is his strong feeling that the University needs someone in this capacity to advance the
public service and academic outreach mission of the University. He said it was
interesting to learn as he interviewed Dr. Walker that she also served in New York City
in their public service well before she came to the University of Kentucky. He
recommended the appointment of Dr. Retia S. Walker as Vice President for Academic
Outreach and Public Service. Ms. Wilson so moved. Ms. Sparks seconded the motion,
and it carried. (See PR 7 at the end of the Minutes.)*



*Amendment of this paragraph was approved at the February 25, 2003 Board meeting.
Please see the minutes page (www.uky.edu/Trustees/Minutes) for that meeting.

      M.    Capital Construction Report (FCR 1)

      Mr. Chellgren, Chairperson of the Finance Committee, reported that the Finance
Committee had a brief meeting that morning. FCR 1 is the quarterly Capital
Construction Report. During the last quarter there were no new contracts, some 3
amendments and 14 change orders. The only particular project that was brought to the
Finance Committee's attention was change orders on a blanket utility upgrade project on
page 8 in the Capital Construction Report. This is not to be unexpected in the $14 plus
million project where they are making massive changes in the water lines, the chillers and
various other parts of the infrastructure of a campus of this magnitude and of this age. He
moved the acceptance of FCR 1. Ms. Wilson seconded the motion, and it passed.

      N.    Report of Leases (FCR 2)

      Mr. Chellgren said that FCR 2 is the recurring Report of Leases. There were
three new leases and one renewal lease. These are leases where annual consideration is
less than $30,000, and they are described in FCR 2. There is nothing on the list that
needs to be brought to the Board's attention. He moved the acceptance of FCR 2. Mr.
Williams seconded the motion, and it carried. (See FCR 2 at the end of the Minutes.)

      0.    Approval of Lease (FCR 3)

      Mr. Chellgren reported that FCR 3 is the approval of leases exceeding $30,000
annually in value. One is a renewal and one is a new lease. The first one is a renewal of
a lease in Hazard, Kentucky. This lease facility will be replaced by the new Rural Health
facility that is named after Senator Benny Ray Bailey and Dr. Stumbo. The second item
is a new lease between the University and the University Commons in Lexington,
Kentucky for six buildings consisting of 72 apartment units near campus on Red Mile
Road. These six buildings will accommodate approximately 280 students and make
some significant step to accommodate the expanded student enrollment. He pointed out
that these units are priced in terms of rental to the students to break even from the
University's point of view. It is not a net cost to the University. This will be a lease
expense, and then there will be revenue from student rent. He moved the acceptance of
FCR 3. Ms. Sparks seconded the motion, and it carried. (See FCR 3 at the end of the
Minutes.)

      P.    Coldstream Research Campus Ground Lease First Alliance Corporation
(FCR 4)

      Mr. Chellgren said FCR 4 is a request from one of the tenants at Coldstream. The
tenant has requested that their lot be moved from lot 21 to lot 24 in the mini-campus that
was referenced in the Coldstream presentation. He moved the adoption of FCR 4. Mr.
Shoop seconded the motion, and it passed. (See FCR 4 at the end of the Minutes.)




 




8 -



      Dr. Stumbo and Mr. Miles asked that the record show that they abstained from
voting because of a business relationship.

      Q.    Endowment Name Change (FCR 5)

      Mr. Chellgren said that FCR 5 is a request that the Board approve the change of
the name of an endowment in the Chandler Medical Center from the U.S. Surgical
Endowed Professorship to the U.S. Surgical-Pfizer Endowed Professorship. U.S.
Surgical has been acquired by Pfizer and that would be the reason for the change. He
moved the acceptance of FCR 5. Ms. Edge seconded the motion, and it carried.

      R.    Establishment of Gift Annuity Program (FCR 6)

      Mr. Chellgren said that FCR 6 is the establishment of a gift annuity program at
the University. The Finance Committee had a comprehensive discussion about this new
program. Gift annuities are attractive to donors because they do qualify as charitable
deductions for income tax purposes. Donors receive a fixed payment guaranteed for the
life at a rate that is in effect when the gift annuity is negotiated and executed. This is
following a pattern that almost all major academic and other charitable institutions have.
The Development Office believes that it will be an important additional donation
opportunity for the donors and contributors of the University. He moved the acceptance
of FCR 6. Ms. Wilson seconded the motion, and it carried. (See FCR 6 at the end of the
Minutes.)

      S.    Gifts and Pledges (FCR 7 through FCR 12)

      Mr. Chellgren said that with the Board's concurrence, he would like to deal with
FCR 7 through 12 as a blanket resolution. These are the contributions that need Board
approval.

      FCR 7 - approve the establishment of the Franklin E. Tuttle Memorial Quasi-
      Endowment Fund. In 1988, the University of Kentucky received just over $1.4
      million from the estate of A. Sidney Behrman, as a memorial to Dr. Tuttle, a
      former chemistry professor. Those funds were invested in the short-term
      investment program that would not have earned significant returns. The decision
      has been made to place these funds in the pooled endowment investments that
      will historically, perhaps not the last three years, generate much better money
      market returns.

      FCR 8 - accept a gift of $10,000 and a pledge of $40,000 from Deane Blazie from
      Hobe Sound, Florida to create and endow a professorship in the College of
      Engineering, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. This is
      eligible for matching funds in the state's Research Challenge Trust Fund (RCTF).

      FCR 9 - accept a gift of $50,000 from Kentucky Utilities, Inc., which is now
      linked with Louisville Gas and Electric, to create and endow a professorship in




 




9 -



      the College of Engineering, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
      This is eligible for matching funds from the RCTF.

      FCR 10 - accept a generous gift of $500,000 from Kentucky Medical Services
      Foundation to establish and endow a chair that will enhance and help science
      research in the Chandler Medical Center. It is anticipated that this gift will be
      matched by the state's RCTF to get the $1 million principal needed to establish a
      chair.

      FCR 11 - accept a gift of $1,479,600 from the estate of George A. Young to the
      College of Medicine to establish and endow the George A. Young Endowment for
      Stroke Research in the Sanders-Brown Center on Aging. Mr. Young was a 1947
      graduate of the University. He died in July 1990. It took time to liquidate his
      estate. The gift is eligible for matching funds from the state's RCTF.

      FCR 12 - accept an anonymous gift of $400,000 to the Department of Athletics
      for the baseball stadium renovation project.

      Mr. Chellgren noted that four of the six gifts show eligibility for matching funds
from the Research Challenge Trust Fund. With these four gifts, that particular fund and
the interest on the fund is exhausted. He said that the Committee is hopeful that there
will be another program when the state gets a budget. At this point, the University has
exhausted all of its RCTF funds. He moved the acceptance of FCR 7-12 inclusive. Ms.
Sims seconded the motion, and it passed. (See FCR 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 at the end of
the Minutes.)

      T.    Investment Committee Report

      Mr. Miles called upon Mr. Wilcoxson to give the Board an update on the recent
activities of the Investment Committee.

      Mr. Wilcoxson reported that the Investment Committee had reviewed the
allocation and performance results of the fixed income portfolio. The University's
investment consultants, Ennis Knupp & Associates, recommended that proposals be
requested from prospective fixed income managers and that consideration be given to
dividing the fixed income assets into a core and a core plus strategy. After interviewing
prospective managers, the Investment Committee decided to hire Reams Investment
Management Company as a core manager, and Pacific Investment Management
Company (PIMCO) as a core plus manager. The University's allocation to fixed income
securities of approximately $130,000,000 was divided equally between the two
companies.

      Ms. Young asked Mr. Wilcoxson to provide an explanation of core and core plus
investment strategies.

      Mr. Wilcoxson explained that the basic difference between core and core plus
fixed income investing is the amount of risk taken. The core plus strategy offers a higher
yield but with slightly more risk based on the individual ratings of the securities
purchased. Basically the difference between the core and core plus is the amount of risk
taken. After a thorough review, assisted by Ennis Knupp, the Investment Committee
agreed that overall there may be less risk by allocating 50% of the fixed income portfolio
to a core plus strategy.

      Mr. Wilcoxson asked Mr. Clay Owen to comment. Mr. Owen stated that the two
styles complement each other and the market returns for each of the styles do not exactly
correlate. The diversification tends to reduce overall risk (volatility of returns) in the
fixed income portfolio. The two portfolios would be similar for 80% of the investments,
i.e. high quality corporate bonds, U. S. Treasuries, etc. In the core plus portfolio, up to
20% can be invested in securities with lower ratings, such as high yield bonds, foreign
bonds (non U.S. $ denominated) and debt of emerging markets. Core plus is more
aggressive, but over time, when combined with a core portfolio, the volatility of annual
returns is less because of the diversification.

      Mr. Wilcoxson stated that the Investment Committee is taking what one might say
is a little more risk, but believes that the potential for increasing the revenue makes the
additional risk acceptable.

      U.    Nominating Committee

      Mr. Shoop, Chairperson of the Nominating Committee, asked the Nominating
Committee to remain so they could set a date for the Nominating Committee to meet.

      V.    Mr. Mobley Recognized

      Mr. Shoop recognized Mr. Mobley for stepping in and doing such a great job as
Acting Director of Athletics. It shows the capabilities of a man that can wear several hats
at the University. He asked Mr. Mobley to stand and be recognized, following which he
received a round of applause.

      President Todd said he was going to compliment Mr. Mobley, but he prefers that
the Board members do that in his stead. He pointed out that the match of two of the
$67,000,000 rounds of "Bucks for Brains" is the green hat area that Mr. Mobley wears.
He has taken this endowment from about $200,000,000 to about $450,000,000 in a four-
year period. He said that he appreciated both levels of services that Mr. Mobley has
provided the University.
