The Minutes of the Meeting of September l4, 1987, were approved as
circulated. ‘

The Chair made the following remarks and announcements:

"First of all let me announce that we have just gone
through an election, as many of you know, for the Senate
Council. I wanted to announce that there are two people
whose terms expire the 3lst of this month and who will be
leaving the Senate Council. One is Jesse Neil and the
other is Richard Angelo. [Jesse Weil stood for recognition
and was given a round of applause]. We have three new
faces that will be coming on the Senate Council January l,
1988. The reason for the three is that Loys Mather's term
is also up, but because he is Chair-elect he will continue
to serve on the Senate Council. The three new people who
will be on the Senate Council beginning January l are Paul
Eakin from Mathematics, Carolyn Bratt from Law and Joanne
Rogers from Library Science. [Those people stood and were
recognized.]

Let me remind everyone again of the Senate party which
is scheduled for next week, December 15, l987, from 4:00 to
6:00 p.m. and this year, once again, let's remind everyone
of the change of place. We are going to be in the Faculty

*Absence explained.

 

 Club starting at 4:00 p.m. on December 15. President and
Mrs. Roselle will be there, and we have also invited all
the members of the Board of Trustees. Ordinarily we do
this on the day the Board meets in December. That happens
to be tomorrow. The problem is that every four years it
happens to fall on Inauguration Day and no one would want
to miss Inauguration Day so we are going to have to shift
the Senate party to next week.

You will be receiving a notice about a special meeting
of the Senate that has been scheduled for January l8, l988,
at 3:00 p.m. in our regular meeting room in the Nursing
Building. Ordinarily the Senate does not meet in January,
but because of some rather detailed rule changes that the
Senate Council is recommending regarding the procedures for
holding and conducting all of the elections that we go
through, coupled with a lot of other things coming down the
pipe during the Spring Semester, it is imperative that we
have a special meeting in January. That may not be the
only item on the agenda, but certainly it will be one that
all of us will want to attend to and spend some time with.
We will be circulating those proposed changes with an
announcement confirming the special session of the Senate
that we are calling for January l8, 1988, at 3:00 p.m. If
any of you have problems with that, just remember we
cancelled the meeting in November and so this is sort of a
makeup kind of exam we are having.

Let me make one final announcement that comes in two
parts. I want to say that I was very pleased with the way
in which our effort to make some minor changes in Senate
rules by means of transmittal was handled. In particular I
want to thank those of you who called and made comments.
Indeed it worked amazingly well. We had only two particu—
lar areas where questions were raised. In neither case did
we have enough Senators to say that we had to have a Senate
meeting, but the Senate Council and I agreed that we ought
to deal with these and try to patch them up where we can.
The first one of these involves the attempt we made on that
circular dated 20 November l987 where we tried to establish
a University-wide definition of the term ”native language.”
No one objected to our effort to define native language as
the language of first communication, which is what the
Graduate School has been using and seems to work reasonably
well. A problem arose when we went on to say that people
whose native language is other than English shall be
required to take the TOFEL. As you know, we are getting
more and more people in this country, particularly in the
hispanic community, where the first language of communi-
cation, even among American citizens, could very well be
Spanish. Because of some ways in which the University has
tried to deal with the notion of who has to take TOFEL and
who doesn't have to take TOFEL, we agreed with Hans Gesund
that we should insert editorially the notion that citizens
of the United States would not have to take the TOFEL. In

 

 effect we are inserting editorially what has been policy at
the University and simply say that persons whose native
language as defined is other than English and who are not
citizens of the United States shall have to take the

TOFEL. That one is easy enough and we will send that
change around on the next transmittal for your perusal. We
are treating it as an editorial change because I think it
is consistent with policy as it now stands. The other one
had to do with our effort to define the term ”good academic
standing." It appears that all sorts of folks out there
use the term ”good academic standing” and because of some
conflicts and concerns over this Mac Jewell recommended
that we should withdraw the section on the transmittal
dealing with that definition since the problem was not
something we could fix editorially, the Senate Council has
recommended, and Mac has agreed, that this be returned to
the Rules Committee. It will attempt to devise some
language to do what we want to do. What we were trying to
do at the beginning was to deal with the problem that Randy
Dahl brought to our attention, namely how do you certify
good academic standing when you send transcripts to other
universities. He will get back with the Senate on this and
I can assure you that if it is more than just an editorial
change, we will bring it to you at a full meeting as a
regular rule change. Otherwise, if we can get it done as
an editorial change, or as a minor change in existing
policy, we will do it by transmittal.

I want to announce, finally, that we have two degree
programs going to the Board of Trustees tomorrow morning.
I have heard of no objections to either of them that have
not been resolved. One is the bachelor's degree in Arts
Administration. The other one that is going to the Council
on Higher Education is the Ph.D. in Public Administration.
You all received circulars on these. They will be going to
the Board tomorrow and hopefully by courier to Frankfort
the following day.

We have with us today two people who want to make
presentations that I think all of us are going to be
interested in. Some of you who were on the Senate two
years ago may recall Bob Bell from the Kentucky Advocates
for Higher Education. He is here again today to chat with
us a little bit about the effort the Kentucky Advocates are
going to have again this year to deal with the Legislative
Session and the efforts to try to get everyone in Kentucky
to do what is right by higher education.”

The Chair welcomed Mr. Bell.
Mr. Bell's remarks follow:

"Thank you Bill. There was a time back in 1946 when I
was a student on this campus that I might have welcomed an

 

 opportunity to have the faculty seated in front of me. I'm
not sure I relish it as much now as I would have then.

A word or two historically about our organization. We
are a lay citizens group, a non-profit, non—stock
corporation organized for the sole purpose of providing
support for the higher education community. We are not an
issue analysis group. That's the role of the Council on
Higher Education. We are a support group. All of it is
implied in the name "Advocates." We organized in October
of 1985 just three months prior to the convening of the
l986 Kentucky General Assembly at a point in time when
there was considerable discouragement across the state with
respect to higher education and a very considerable feeling
that there needed to be a lay citizens group pulled
together to do what it could to raise the level of
awareness about the value of higher education in this
Commonwealth.

We have a Board of Directors of 35. It's largely a
business-driven group financed primarily by contributions
from the corporate and business community and other
foundations. We raised about $l00,000 through voluntary
contributions in order to support two principal activities
two years ago. As you will recall, we had a series of
eight "rallies," or public forums, that were held
concurrently across the state on the same evening and that
was the evening before the Kentucky General Assembly
convened. To our surprise we had about 4,000 people turn
out for those meetings and we did get considerable press
coverage. Following that we went to Frankfort and had a
state rally which, as most of you will remember, turned out
to be sort of a spectacle. I explained to you two years
ago that all of that was very deliberate in order to
attract the attention of the most powerful medium in our
society today, and that is commercial television news. We
did that. I think it was with some impact.

Our principal purpose in doing all of that in 1986 was
try and demonstrate, if you will, that there were some
people in Kentucky that care. We were being told by
political leaders in the Summer of l985 that nobody cared
about higher education, that there wasn't any constituency
out there that was willing to speak to the interest of
higher education. I think most of you know that before the
legislature convened, we were successful in obtaining some
very strong recommendations from the Council on Higher
Education and then to our pleasure the Governor embraced
those recommendations in large measure and they were
incorporated within the Governor's executive budget —— a
very strong proposal for higher education financially. As
a result of action by the House and Senate, we came out of
the l986 session with about a 20% increase in general fund

support across the board for the higher education system.
As most of you are painfully aware, the subsequent

 

 shortfall in general fund receipts has caused some of that
gain to be lost, but not all. I think it is fair to state
that had there not been a lot of activity in l986 we may
not have faired near as well as we did.

It was pretty easy for me to make a presentation to
this group two years ago, because at that point—in-time we
had some strong recommendations that had come from the
Council, we had the support of the Governor, and our big
job was to try to communicate with enough members of the
Kentucky General Assembly to develop the kind of support
needed to pass that budget. Today it seems to me that our
situation is almost the reverse. We have gained, I think,
through the activity not only of the Advocates but also
through the University communities, a very considerable
rapport and support with key members of the General
Assembly that we did not have two years ago. I think we
are stronger with the legislature, but with respect to the
gubernatorial role we are in ”no man's land" today. I
think that is putting it kindly. I don‘t think there is
anyone in this room who could possibly predict for you what
might happen here in the next few weeks. We are entangled
in the political system of Kentucky, as we all have known
it for so many years, and we don't know where all of it's
going to take us. At this very moment, the outgoing
Governor may or may not be acting on very important
appointments to the governing boards of our two largest
institutions. One is the UK board; As Ed Carter reminded
me a few moments ago, you may have a Board of Trustees
meeting in the morning with four members going off the
Board possibly, two of whom are your Chairman and Vice
Chairman, which would be kind of unusual and somewhat
disruptive to the continuity of governance. The same thing
exists at the University of Louisville. The Chairman of
the Board at the University of Louisville is subject to
being replaced. It is ironic that both Chairmen have been
unanimously reelected as Chairmen of their Boards in the
last few weeks. All of this may be resolved this
afternoon, and I suppose it will. Of course we are all
anxious to hear about that.

Beyond that, we do know (and Ed will go into it later)
about the current budget recommendations of the Council on
Higher Education. We don't know what is going to happen in
the next step. The recommendation that has been made by
the Council on Higher Education will be considered by the
central budget apparatus of the new administration and the
new Governor and will be considered along with all the
competing interests of other programs and other very
important problems in the state government and will be
considered within the context ofga very categorical
opposition on the part of the new Governor to any new tax
or revenue measure whatsoever. Not only has he expressed
his opposition to any revenue or tax measure but has said
now on three separate occasions categorically that ”I will

 

 veto any such measure that is presented for my signature.”
I think what that means for the higher education community,
the elementary and secondary education community, the
vocational education community, the social service areas
and many others I could name right across the whole
spectrum of government services an extremely difficult and
fractious situation that is going to be highly controver—
sial and very confrontational in my opinion. We have an
interesting several weeks to look forward to as the
legislature convenes in the first week of January.

I am saying that it is so much more difficult today to
speak to this group than it was two years ago. With
respect to the Advocates, we decided we would endeavor to
take on three projects, the first of which we have already
completed. If you will remember, we inaugurated a new
series of awards called the Oak awards. The whole purpose
of that effort was to call attention to the value of higher
education in the life of a single individual and conse-
quently to the Commonwealth and society. I think that went
off rather well and will be institutionalized and become
permanent for the future. Secondly, two years ago the
Advocates were a Board of Directors of thirty—five and,
technically, that's all we were. Yet, we were permitted to
speak and no one challenged our ability to speak for all
the lay citizen interest in higher education across the
state. We didn't have a membership, so we have started a
drive to try to enroll 25,000 ”Advocates.” We have
developed a simple piece of literature and some ads to try
to enroll 25,000 ”Advocates”, not people who are enrolling
as members in the frame of reference we normally think of
it, but people who are willing to say by virtue of their
signature that they ascribe to the three primary goals that
the Advocates are pursuing. One is that we are trying to
achieve full formula funding in this state under the
statutory formula. "Full funding" is a poor choice of
words because it means different things to different
people. To me and to you it should mean simply that we are
trying to achieve a level of public support for our higher
education system that is equal to the average or median
level of support enjoyed by similar institutions in
surrounding states. That is not a very lofty aspiration,
frankly. However, just to achieve that would take a great
deal of money and Ed will tell you in a little while how
much that would be. We are striving for that.

Secondly, we would like to see an expansion of the
program for Centers of Excellence and for Endowed Chairs.
By the skin of our teeth two years ago, and with the help
of Senator Moloney here in Fayette County, we were able to
salvage what I would frankly describe as a token program in
this area. About 4 million dollars totally for the whole
state for both the Endowed Chairs program and for Centers
of Excellence. We did survive, and it got written into the
budget; it's gotten started. This University has been
designated for a couple of these.

 

 To give you some comparable idea, the state of
Tennessee puts 35 million tax dollars into an endowed
chairs program alone versus our 4 million for both
programs. So you see, we have a long way to go. That's
our second objective, and our third one is to try to
preserve and achieve some adequate level of student
financial support so that a student in Kentucky who is
capable of doing college work will not be denied access to
the system because of personal financial reasons. That is
what we are about, and that is what we are trying to do.

You should be seeing some literature and material on
this campus about our program to enroll Advocates. I hope
you will help us on that, not only enroll yourself and
families but also friends and other people that you know
will respond so that we may legitimately go in to Frankfort
as an organization saying that we have the support of
thousands of Kentuckians. I already have several thousand
of them in hand, but I am not near to the goal of 25,000,
but I expect to be in January or February.

Finally, on the 16th of February we will go to
Frankfort again and we will be demonstrating, if you will,
again for higher education. We haven't finalized the plans
for it because there are still so many uncertainties about
what we are going to be there to support, or be against
perhaps. I think right now you can expect that we will
probably be building a program there that will showcase
student talent from across the_state. It will also be a
celebration of higher education. We welcome your
suggestions. We are looking for a keynote speaker. I
personally prefer this time that it not be a political
person. If you have suggestions, we want a dynamic,
committed, person who can address an audience of five to
six thousand people and to television and who is so deeply
committed to higher education that the message will project
not only to the audience but also to the people all across
the state.

Beyond that, I would urge you to become involved.
When I was a student at this University, I majored in
political science and I have very fond recollection of my
professors in that field and one of the things I was most
fond of and remember the best was their personal involve-
ment in the community and civic activities of the state.
Without exception, that entire faculty when I was here were
serving on boards, commissions and study groups to produce
civil service for Kentucky, Constitutional reform, and I
could go on and on. I embarked on a life of public service
because I had a professor by the name of Dr. James H.
Martin who put me in a car and took me to Frankfort and
introduced me to a prospective employer and recommended me
for employment and from that I had twenty—five years of
public service in the State Government. I am suggesting
and hope that not only this faculty here but also the
faculties across this Commonwealth in every institution and

 

 every community college will become actively involved, at
least to the extent that you tell your own legislator, the
senator or representative, who represents you personally,
and you need not be shy about this, that you would expect
that he or she would go to Frankfort representing the
constituency they do here in Lexington, Fayette County,
Kentucky and that you would expect that they would be the
champions of higher education, because if we don't get that
from the Fayette County delegation, then we have a very
"tough row to hoe" in Frankfort. I am suggesting that
there is no reason for you to have any hesitancy as a
citizen, completely aside from your role as faculty
members, that you would expect that from them. We do have
some good support in the Fayette County delegation, but we
could have some stronger support even there. There is an
old axiom in politics that you tie home base down first.
That is what I am suggesting as a way you can be helpful.
You can do that by phone calls or letters. It's most
helpful for people to express themselves in personal terms
by way of personal letters to their elected representa—
tives. Form letters don't help that much. If our local
legislators got lOO letters from the faculty of this
institution, they would perceive that to be an avalanche of
public interest. Unlike Congress, very rarely does a
legislator in Frankfort receive 100 personal letters on
anything. They get a lot of mail, but on one single
subject it's a rare occasion.

With that I will quit. I was just giving you a
summary of where we have been and where we are. If this
organization were interested in participating, next Monday
in Frankfort, there is a very large number of organizations
that are going to gather in the Rotunda of the State
Capitol and ceremonially sign a resolution calling on the
new Governor and Legislature to continue the emphasis on
educational reform and on quality education. This is a
very bland resolution. We deliberately kept it bland in
an attempt to erect a tent large enough for all the camels
to get under. We are hopeful that about 100 educational
organizations are going to appear. The real significance
will not be so much what is said as the fact they would
appear and sign on behalf of their organizations. An
invitation did go to COSFL and I hope they are going to be
there. If you can encourage them to be there, that would
be helpful. If this Senate wanted to do that, it would be
welcome. I have some confidence that a large number of
organizations, cutting across the entire range of
educational interests, will appear. Thank you.”

The Chairman asked for questions from the floor for Mr. Bell. Chairman
Lyons said that the Senate Council Office and the Administration were going to
try to coordinate some of the activities. President Roselle has put into
place an organization on campus to try to coordinate some of the activities.
One of the things the Senate Council is going to try to do again this year is
to have a breakfast with all of the local legislators early on in the session

 

 -9-

and remind them once again how we stand on the subject of higher education.
He hoped that everyone would cooperate and participate and try to get the
message across.

Professor Mary Sue Coleman (Biochemistry) thanked Mr. Bell for coming and
said she appreciated the efforts of the Advocates and asked the Senators to
give Mr. Bell a round of applause. She also asked about the lists to sign to
become an Advocate. Mr. Bell said that each campus has been supplied with
those and also there are posters out that state "The dream game won't be
played on television this year or played at Freedom Hall or Rupp Arena, but
wiil be played at the Capitol. Mr. Bell said to turn in the cards from the
posters because they were worth twenty-five cents each. The Chairman thanked
Mr. Bell again for coming and said that everything would be done to c00perate
with the efforts of the Kentucky Advocates of Higher Education. He said if
the faculty wanted to send the cards to the Senate Council Office, they would
see that they would get to where they had to go.

The Chairman recognized Mr. Ed Carter to speak on a subject that is dear
to everyone's heart and that is resources. It is tied to scholarships, tied
to doing things right, research, and money is the name of the game. The man
in charge of "money“ is Mr. Ed Carter, Vice President for Administration, who
showed the Senate with charts his perspective on the budget requests and
observations about funding realities facing the University.

Mr. Carter thanked Professor Lyons and said before getting into the money
discussion he wanted to stress Dr. Coleman's comments about Mr. Bell and the
Advocates. He said not to underestimate the value of those thirty—five voices
that were there two years ago and hopefully 25,035 this year. He felt that
was significant, and it was a group of people speaking for quality higher
education in this state that literally have nothing directly to do with it.

It is not the Council, it is not the University Presidents or University
boards. He said that President Roselle had been encouraging everybody and Mr.
Carter has already sent in his card. He urged everyone to join in being an
Advocate for Higher Education.

Mr. Carter dealt with three pieces of the funding issue. One was
reviewing how the University got to the request that went from the Board of
Trustees to the Council on Higher Education. He said all faculty members were
getting a little booklet on a brief summary of the requests. He said it was a
very effective tool in terms of the Frankfort environment. He talked about
the process of the University getting where they are in terms of requests and
reviewed the Council on Higher Education's recommendation and shared with the
Senate the environment in which the University‘s request in higher education
would be considered.

Mr. Carter said that the five—year plan is a controversial process, but it
does in fact serve a very vital and important role in terms of the University
of Kentucky and its dealings with the internal planning of the institution.
The following charts summarizing the University's budget request were
presented by Mr. Carter to the Senate with detailed comments.
