Exit Wethington: After leading UK for
more than a decade, president steps aside

ByScottSIoon

EDITOR IN CHIEF

On June 30. the Wething-
ton era will come to an end.

Since December 1989.
Charles T. Wethington Jr., has
been at UK‘s helm.

"I‘ve been really pleased
and honored to have been
president for the last 11 and
one~half years." Wethington
said. "I feel very good about
what has been accomplished
during that time."

Wethington said he has
been pleased with UK‘s acade-
mic progress.

"We‘ve seen a great in-
crease in the number of na-
tional merit scholars coming
to the University each year. "
he said.

While he is stepping down
from his administrative posi-
tion and leaving UK in two
years. the Board of Trustees
has decided he will leave a per-
manent mark on campus.

At the group‘s June 19
meeting. it voted to name the
Allied Health/Aging building
in honor of Wethington.

The building. which is still
under construction. will be
completed in spring 2002. but it
will not be named after him
until 2003. when he will no
longer be a UK employee.

The only nay vote on the
action was by Russell
Williams. the stafftrustee.

Williams said he thought
it was ill«timing to name a

building after Wethington
when former president David
Roselle has no buildings
named after him on campus.

Wethington is staying on
the UK payroll for two years
after he steps down as presi-
dent to serve as a fundraiser.

Wethington said his office
will be on the fifth floor of the
William T. Young Library.

Wethington began his
presidential career when he
was appointed interim presi-
dent amid controversy in De-
cember 1989. He replaced UK
President David Roselle. who
left UK to assume the presiden-
cy at the
Delaware after a bitter fight
with the Kentucky General As-
sembly and Governor Wallace
Wilkinson over funding.
Roselle’s popularity on cam-
pus and Wethington's prior
friendship with Wilkinson
made the situation difficult for
some to swallow.

The trustees elected
Wethington as UK‘s 10th presi-
dent in September 1990 but
only after two other candidates
for the position withdrew their
names from consideration.

Faculty members and stu»
dents urged the trustees to be»
gin another search. but the
group did not.

Wethington entered the
spotlight again in 1997 when
he faced off with Governor
Paul Patton about the impor-
tance of the community college
system. Patton supported re~

University of

moving the system from UK.
while Wethington. who was
vice president and chancellor
of the system from 1981 until
1989. advocated keeping the
system.

Patton emerged victorious
in the battle when the state leg-
islature passed his bill stipu-
lating all community colleges
except I.(‘(‘ would be separate
from UK.

While controversy has
surrounded Vi'cthington. Pegs
gy Way. his administrative as-
sistant. said it is normal for
presidents to have their share
of confl ict.

"I‘ve worked in the office
with three presidents (Single-
tary. Roselle and Wethington)
and each ofthem has had their
own controversial issues."

UK President
Charles T.
lethlngton Jr.,
looked on as fire
engulfed the
Administration
Building on May
15. Wethington
will step down as
president on
June 30 after
holding the posi-
tion for more
than a decade.

Way said. "They just continUe
with their leadership. no mat-
ter what controversvs out
there."

Wethington agreed.

"I think it is accurate to
say that this position will be
one that will be involved in a
number of major initiatives.
Call them controversies. dis-
agreements. whatever. That‘s
almost inevitable." he said.

Controversy subsided.
though. in 1998 with one of
Wethington‘s greatest accom-
plishments: the completion of
the William T. Young Library.

Wcthington said the li-
brary is a symbol of the acade-
mic progress UK has made.

considered

Getting out: Opposition urges
students to have voices heard

By llelley Sears

NEWS EDITOR

There still may be a party plan.

Monday night Dick DeCamp. the third
district councilman for the Lexington
Fayette Urban County Council. conducted
a meeting to gather information from con—
cerned community representatives for the
city council services committee on the re-
drafted Lexington Area Party Plan.

LAPP is based on the San Diego. Calif.
College Area Party Plan. which was enact»
ed to keep neighborhood disturbances at a
minimum.

Originally LAPP was titled (‘APP and
was changed at the May 14 Urban County
Council meeting to include other parts of
the city. in addition to areas around down-
town college campuses.

The plan's name was changed because
it applies to anyone who doesn‘t party re-
sponsibly. said Lisa Johnson. a neighbor-
hood resident in
favor of LAPP.

 

"There are
neighborhoods
out there that are
dying." she said.

The plan
seems to be fo
cused on stu-
dents. despite the
name change.
said Tim Robin-
son. L'K‘s Student
Government As-
sociation presi—
dent.

"If we‘re g0-
ing to come up
with a solution to
a problem that is
there. we're going
to have to be hon—
est about who
this is directed
against." Robin

flienextmove

The Urban County
CoimciI will tentatively
be briefed about the
Lexington Area Party
Plan at 7 pm July 9 at
the Government Cen-
ter's Council Chamber.

periences with students

son said.

DeCamp said he is searching for a so-
lution to this situation but is still willing to
change the plan.

"I am not wedded to this by any
means." DeCamp said.

Disturbances. under the drafted ordi-
nance. include excessive noise. possession
of alcohol by minors. possession of illegal
substances and unruly behavior.

If a resident has at least two com-
plaints that require police enforcement. a
cap could be placed on the property. The
cap would designate the residence as "no-
party property" for one year.

Kige Kigh. landlord and manager of
Wassmer Properties. said he was con-
cerned this could put a "scarlet letter" on
properties.

"Can anyone tell me what existing or-
dinance is not covered already?" Kigh said.

DeCamp said the city does have ordi»
nances in effect. but caps could possibly be
useful for the city.

Kigh said the city doesn‘t need caps.

if tenants receive further complaints
following the "no-party property" designa-
tion, they could be arrested or issued fur-
ther citations. Caps will also be renewed.

lf landlords or tenants can prove the
source of the disturbances is no longer an
issue before one year has passed. they may
petition the chief of police to remove the
cap.

Andy McIntyre. a landlord. said he
wants police to designate the different
kinds of violations.

"This gives the police
amounts of discretion." he said.

Others such as Joe Schuler. a resident
and board member of the Columbia
Heights Housing Association. would like to
see LAPP pass.

"I'm for anything that will solve the
problem." he said. "I think it's a solid idea.

Schuler said LAPP is "workable" and
has already had a lot of revisions.

DeCamp is scheduled to brief the Ur-
ban County Council services committee
about the plan at its next meeting.

"I don‘t represent the students." De-
(‘amp said.

Robert Hodges. a landlord and North
Elizabeth Street Neighborhood Associa-
tion board member. said students are vital
to the outcome in this issue and need to
stand up for what they believe.

"This things is going to be won or lost
on student participation.” Hodges said.

Returning students will not be the only familiar faces on UK's
campus this fall.

Lee Todd Jr., a former UK student and professor. will be retum—
ing when he becomes UK's 11th president. replacing Charles T.
Wethington Jr., on July 1.

Todd was unanimously chosen for the position by the Board of
Trustees on Jan. 23. 2001.

Since that time he has been turning heads both on- and offcam-
pus.

Pem Kremer. an English and honors professor. looks forward to
Todd‘s tenure as UK president.

"I have heard nothing but good things about him," Kremer said.

Coming with the praise is high expectations. but Todd is not
looking to improve UK singlehandedly. He stressed the importance
of all of UK working together.

"I want to talk with the people on campus that have been here
for 20 years and ask them what their dreams are for the kids." he
said. "Then I want to make the re
sources available. so they can make
them happen."

Though Todd hopes to utilize as
many people as possible to help stu-
dents. he also wants to be directly in-
volved with them. Since Todd's early ar-
rival at UK in May. he has already be
gun meeting with students.

"Patsy [Todd‘s wife] and I want to
make Maxwell Place [UK president’s
residence] more accessible to students." he said. "We want to invite
professors to bring their students here on an outofclass trip. so stu-
dents can talk with them without worrying about a grade."

In an effort to greet new students, Todd said he hopes to attend a
number of the freshman orientations scheduled throughout the sum-
mer to speak with parents and students about the opportunities
available at UK.

Todd‘s long-term goals for UK include increasing research op
portunities for faculty members and improving the relationship be
tween UK and the city of Lexington.

Another important issue to Todd is expanding UK‘s influence.
Todd said UK‘s borders must extend to include those of the state of
Kentucky.

Though these goals will not directly affect students. Todd also
plans to make noticeable differences on campus.

Todd and his wife both are seeking to improve the "attractive
ness" of UK by creating more places for students to congregate and
enhancing greenspace on campus.

"ghew are things we can do to make a difference for students."
he sat .

Wethington’s tenure questioned

ASSOCIATED PRESS

LEXINGTON. Ky. (AP) A
contract clause that allows
Charles T. Wethington to take a
lifetime faculty appointment af-
ter he steps down as the Univer~
sity of Kentucky‘s president has
some faculty grumbling.

There‘s no record that
Wethington underwent the usu~
al rigorous review that profes»
sors undergo for tenure. accord-
ing to a published report in The
l.‘ourier~Journal of Louisville.

By contrast. research and
teaching by incoming l'K Presi-
dent Lee T. Todd received a
thorough examination by other
faculty members before he was
granted a tenured electrical en-
gineering position.

Tenured professorships are
usually part of presir’iential con-
tracts. But Carolyn Bratt. a law
professor who voted against hir-
ing Wethington as president in
1990 when she was a UK ti‘ustee.
said tenure “is an incredibly
difficult thing to earn. and it
has to be earned."

phy professor who is chairman

ton is an administrator who
sort of slid in.“

Tenure. which is important
both for academic prestige and
financial security, means that a
faculty member has earned a
permanent teaching and re-
search position at a university.

Wethington. 65. said he‘s
not sure he'll take a professor-
ship once his contract ends in
two years. After Wethington
steps down June 30 as school
president. he will become a
school fund-raiser for two
years.

“I have no plans at this
time.“ he said. “The door is
open. I have not thought beyond
(the end of the contract)."

lfhe decides not to teach. he
could take his pension 15 per-
cent of his annual salary.

Wethington‘s contract. re-
vised in 1999. allows him to join
the faculty as a tenured associ-
ate professor when the contract
runs out in 200:3. His annual
salary will be at least $211562

In 2000. L'K's membership
in the Fair Labor Association
was questioned by members of
progressive organizations on
campus and Wethington was
again the focus.

The students protested UK‘s
membership in the organization
and eventually staged a sitin at
the Administration Building be-
cause they felt Wethington was

based on a 1971 action by the
UK board of trustees.

Wethington began his UK
career as an educational psy-
chology instructor in 1965. In
November 1971. soon after he
was appointed assistant vice
president of the community col-
lege system. which was then
controlled by UK. the universi-
ty‘s trustees granted Wething-
ton a tenured associate profes-
sorship in the college system. a
special board action that came
without the usual faculty re-
view.

In response to an Open
Records Act request by The
Courier-Journal for Wething»
ton's tenure review records
from 1971. UK records custodi-
an (‘reorge l)eBin said that none
existed because the trustees' de-
cision was a “special action.”

Asked whether he had ever
undergone faculty review for
tenure. Wethington said he
could add nothing to the univer-

quest. which turned tip only a

$600 million in private funds by
2003.

The records did not have
forms for Wethington's appoint-
ments as director of Lexington
Technical Institute. director of
Maysville Community College.
assistant vice president for the
community college system. as-
sistant professor of education
and associate professor with
tenure. Those appointments
took place in the 19605 and
19705.

The records request was
processed before a fire gutted
the university‘s sAdministration
Building earlier this month.

Richard E. Cooper. who was
a UK trustee 30 years ago. said
he could not recall any debate
about a faculty review during
the 1971 board meeting at which
Wethington was granted tenure.
“If there had been any great dis-
cussion on it. it would be reflect
ed in the minutes." Cooper said.

The meeting minutes do not
mention any discussion of such
a review for Wethington.

There is no indication
Wethington underwent such a
review. although his 1990 con»
tract said the university had ap-
pointed him “as an associate
professor in the University of
Kentucky Community College
System with tenure."‘

the campaign had raised more
than $403 million.

Wethington's tenure as UK
president is ending on a bitter-
sweet note after fire damaged
the Administration Building on
May 15.

Whether people loved
Wethington or hated him. or for
that fact. even knew who he
was. almost all will admit the
last decade has been eventful.

said.

Reece said Mason‘s work
in the 19805 reinvented the
short story.

Small things: Kings Island opens with a
wooden headliner, but not without problems

By Alan Slone
SUMMER SCENE EDITOR

Roller coasters are the
American way.

Scaring yourself beyond
belief by racing at horrendous
speeds. moving back and
forth. rattling and shaking
yourself silly and then do-
ing it again. This. my friends.
is what most Americans do
for fun.

Kings Island is living up
to this standard.

Paramount's Kings ls»
land. located north of Cincin—
nati on 1-71. is one of the two
choices UK students have for
their fix of amusement park
fun.

Last Wednesday. my
friends and I drove to the park
to enjoy what it has to offer
this year. The rides. the food.
the atmosphere it was all at
our disposal.

Before we left. we bought
discounted tickets from Bitte-
grass AAA. Normal ticket
prices are 83199. but the price
does not include parking. This
does. however. allow you to
ride most of the main rides.
but not games and other at
tractions. As we found. the
ticket is pretty much all you
need to get around the park.

After arriving and paying
88 to park. we ventured inside
the park. After dabbling in a
few rides such as Face Off. a
suspended coaster that sits
you face to face with the per-
son across from you. and the
Racers. the old standby wood
en coaster that is ftin both for-
wards and backwards. we me
andered over to Son of Beast.

Son of Beast. the park's
newest and highly-touted
coaster. has its name and like
ness taken from one of the
park‘s most popular rides.

The Beast. The Beast. a fa-
vorite among most visitors to
the park. has had 32 million
riders since it‘s opening more
than ‘21) years ago. A favorite
among our group. this is a
must see if you go.

As for the son ofthis great
coaster. it left much to be de-
sired. The coaster was not
only inferior to its father. it
intlicted bodily harm upon
my knees.

The car. for safety rea—
sons. will not easily accommo—
date people over 5‘10" in
height. As a 63" male. 1 was a
tight squeeze to say the least.
While the injury to my knees
was partly my fault for not
bringing the ill-fitting lap bar
to the attention of the atten-
dants. i wasn‘t warned. either.
All I offer is a warning if you
area little on the tall side.

The rest of the day was
amazing the food. atmos-
phere and weather all com-
bined to make the day enjoy-
able. After food and attraction
costs. I spent around $60. not
including travel costs.

Under a new Kentucky law, adopted children are Snail mail

College isn’t cheap.

If there’s anything we’ve learned from our UK careers, it’s
that education is a costly enterprise. A lot of us receive huge
support from our parents. whether it’s in the form of tuition

money or a place to live while attending school.
Other students. however. have not been so lucky. Some-

times, parents of adopted children or foster children find they
can’t afford the ever-increasing price of higher education.
The Kentucky legislature has enacted a law to help these

parents and students out. Under a new Kentucky law, all foster

children. children adopted from state custody and children in
the state‘s care will receive free tuition at state universities,
including technical and vocational schools. The cost for these

waivers will be absorbed by the universities.

We wholeheartedly applaud these efforts. Many of the stu-
dents now eligible for free tuition would have had a difficult, if
not impossible, tim
