_, Starting the New Year on a High Note
  --- It has been a rewarding year at the University of Kentucky. The reception the Top 20
A V Business Plan received exceeded everyone’s expectations, including my own. It made
}   national news and, more importantly, the 2006 General Assembly recognized that, together,
- the Commonwealth of Kentucky and the University of Kentucky can fulfill the ambitious
W goals set forth in House Bill 1, which mandated that UK become a Top 20 public research
university.
Kentucky’s elected officials fully funded the Top 20 Business Plan for 2007-2008,
providing UK with the resources needed to continue our trek to national prominence. I want to formally thank
Kentucky’s legislators, as well as members of the University of Kentucky Advocacy Network (UKAN), for their
faith in UK and their support during the legislative session.
The year was not without tragedy. UK lost 16 members of its extended family when Comair Flight 5191
crashed as it was leaving Lexington’s Bluegrass Airport. We continue to grieve for the victims and their families
of that tragedy. The university lost a significant leader and innovator that day. Larry Turner, associate dean of
agriculture, was dedicated to bettering this Commonwealth. He and I spent many hours in conversation and I
will always be inspired by his vision and passion for this university.
The entering class of 2006-07 exceeded expectations as UK admitted the largest and most diverse class in UK’s
141-year history. This year’s entering class had about 4,200 entering freshmen. UK also reported a 96 percent
increase in first-year African—American student enrollment, with 296 students — up from 151 last year. The
previous record was 256 in 2004-2005. Enrollment of Hispanic first—year students jumped 54 percent from 37 last
year to 57 this year.
Alumni, businesses, corporations and other university friends are propelling UK toward its $1 billion fund-
raising goal. At the development council meeting in September, it was reported that nearly $950 million has
already been pledged or collected. UK is one of 27 universities in the country engaged in billion-dollar-plus
campaigns. Private giving like this is crucial in providing the Top 20 margin of excellence that enhances the
investment that taxpayers make through the state budget and that students make through tuition.
This year 100 searches are underway for new faculty and there are positions open in every college. These
additional professors will allow us to reduce class sizes, provide better student advising, and additional
opportunities for undergraduate research.
The additional intellectual vitality of more faculty also will enable us to continue increasing the research
we conduct into a broad range of issues impacting this state, from cancer and heart disease to education and
economic development.
Those additional faculty members will add to the impressive list of talented individuals who we recruited to
UK this year, including faculty from such prestigious institutions as Harvard,Yale, Duke, Cornell, Pennsylvania,
Johns Hopkins, Washington University in St. Louis, Washington State, UC—Davis, Wisconsin, and Penn State.
They will continue to complement the many outstanding faculty members who already call UK home. Faculty
like writing professor Kim Edwards, whose first novel, " The Memory Keepers Daughter; " hit number one on the
New York Times Best Seller list this summer.
The face of campus is changing as well, as the construction of the new UK Chandler Hospital is well underway.
The new parking facility is due for completion in 2007. Rose Street is being rerouted and a new roadway into
campus has been created by extending Virginia Avenue across Limestone through campus to Huegelet Drive.
Your university is not standing still. In 2007, we will continue to build on this year’s momentum.Thank
you for your support and I look forward to working with each of you as we build the type of university the
Commonwealth of Kentucky deserves.
