      1. The UK Department of Communication is leading the nation in securing outside
          grants over a ten-year period.

      2. The University of Kentucky hosted 2,400 undergraduate researchers on campus at the
          largest conference the University has had on campus. It was a wonderful experience
          for the undergraduate students and their faculty mentors from across the country.

      President Wethington asked the members to read the other items in the report at their
leisure.

      E.    Partnership in Research Progress Committee Report (PR IA)

      President Wethington said that this report is a report from the Partnership in Research
Progress Committee to the Board of Trustees and the President. The report will be given to Dr.
Lee Todd for his consideration for use in the furtherance of the research program at the
University of Kentucky. He asked Mr. Miles for his comments and to introduce Mr. John Hall.

      Mr. Miles stated that upon receiving the mandate to achieve top-20 research status, the
University looked for an outstanding group of people that could compare the University to what
is going on at the other universities that are top-20. He expressed his appreciation and thanks to
Mr. Hall for the work that he and the committee have done in bringing this report together. He
asked Mr. Hall to introduce the committee and then make the report, following which he
received a round of applause from the Board members.

opportunity to address the Board. He acknowledged the members of the Committee who put
numerous hours of work into this report; Dr. Fitzgerald B. Bramwell, Vice President for
Research and Graduate Studies at the University of Kentucky; Barbara Ford, Vice President of
Human Resources at Tech Republic in Louisville; Mr. E. Edward Glasscock, co-managing

- 15 -



       Mr. Hall concluded that the goal to be a top-20 research university is worthy, ambitious,
and challenging. In order to achieve that status, the University will be required to double its
current research funds. He noted that the University currently has a good foundation upon which
to build, including $174 million in current research, good research facilities, good business
incubator in ASTeCC, research niches, and a lot of distinguished professors. He added that UK
also needs continued support from the state and local government as well as an increased
emphasis on research, better utilization of resources, and the adoption of the recommendations of
this report to succeed in dramatically increasing the research program.

       Mr. Hall received a round of applause from the members of the Board.

       F.    Personnel Actions (PR 2)

       President Wethington recommended that approval be given to the appointments, actions
and/or other staff changes which require Board action; and that the report relative to
appointments and/or changes already approved by the administration be accepted. He noted that
through the approval of PR 2, the Board would be acting upon the academic appointment of Dr.
Lee T. Todd, Jr. as well as the retirement of Dr. Daniel R. Reedy after 34 years of service. Mr.
Reed moved approval. The motion, seconded by Mr. Williams, carried. (See PR 2 at the end of
the Minutes.)

       Mr. Guthrie commented on his pleasure of knowing and working with Dr. Reedy for the
past five years. He commended him on all of the work he has done for the University and the
Board of Trustees, especially with the Presidential Search Committee.

       Ms. Wickliffe commented on how much Dr. Reedy has meant to the Board of Trustees
and to the Presidential Search Committee. She thanked him for all of his hard work over the
years.



Summary

* UK has strong research position
   - Research park
   - Business incubator
   - Research niches
   - Distinguished professors
* UK can succeed given:
   - Continued state and local government support
   - Increased emphasis on research
   - Innovative utilization of resources
   - Adopting recommendations

       Ms. Plattner commented on Dr. Reedy's presence, authority and dignity as well as his
sense of humor. She added that his sense of statesmanship would remain at the table of the
Board of Trustees.

       G.    University Research Professorships (PR 3A)

       President Wethington stated that PR 3A is a recommendation that the Board of Trustees
approve the naming of Professors Chi-Sing Man, Department of Mathematics, Robert Perry,
Department of Microbiology and Immunology, John R. Thelin, Department of Educational
Policy Studies and Evaluation, and Thomas Widiger, Department of Psychology, as University
Research Professors for 2001-2002. He added that these are one-year appointments with the
purpose of enhancing and encouraging scholarly research productivity, providing an opportunity
for concentrated research effort for selected faculty members, and recognizing research
achievement by members of the faculty. President Wethington said he was pleased to
recommend PR 3A for approval. Dr. Reedy moved approval. The motion, seconded by Mr.
