       D.    Minutes Approved

       On motion made by Mr. Stricker, seconded by Mrs. Hayes and
passed, the Minutes of the February 5, 1989 meeting of the Board of
Trustees were approved as written.

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

       President Roselle reviewed some of the items in PR 1, calling
particular attention to the following:

       1.    The University has received a $1 million gift from Toyota
             Motor Corporation to establish an endowment designed to
             increase the quality and quantity of collections in the
             UK library system. The gift is the largest cash gift
             ever received by the library and will greatly expand
             resources available to students and faculty, as well as
             enhance the University's stature as one of the country's
             major research libraries.

       2.    The dedication of the Harry C. Lancaster Aquatic Center
             will take place at 3 p.m. following the Board meeting.

             President Roselle reported that the University would be
             getting two new divers this fall; Mrs. C. M. Newton,
             diving coach at Vanderbilt and former participant in the

             olympics trials and Colonel Mickie King Hougue,
             participant in the 1968 Olympics for the United States
             and gold medal winner in 1972. Mrs. Hougue will be
             heading up the Air Force ROTC contingent at the
             University of Kentucky.

       3.    Private support to the University during 1988 totalled
             $22,267,061 which represents a 22 percent increase over
             the preceding year.

       4.    The UK Alumni Association has begun celebration of its
             100th anniversary.

       5.    The College of Law moot court team placed second in
             national championship competition in New York City.

       6.    A new fellowship program named in honor of Lyman T.
             Johnson will provide up to $7,000 to qualified minority
             graduate and professional students.

       7.    The Singletary Center for the Arts continues to be an
             attractive force in the city and the state. An
             attendance of 103,304 was recorded during 1988.

       President Roselle also called attention to the significant
activities of faculty and staff listed in PR 1.

       Meeting with University Senate

       President Roselle reported that he had made a budget
presentation to the University Senate informing them of a 7T salary
increase for both faculty and staff. He indicated that quite a few
compromises had to be made in the budget in order to reach the 7%
salary increase but expressed that he felt it was the correct priority.

       CHE Annual Meeting of Boards

       President Roselle reported that the Council on Higher Education
is interested in having an annual meeting of the Boards of Trustees of
institutions in Kentucky. He stated that he and Mrs. Hayes had
attended a meeting in Louisville to discuss the agenda and goals. The
meeting would probably be one day in duration. He noted that the
construct of higher education in Kentucky and the construct of higher
education in Virginia are very similar. Each institution has an
independent gubernatorially appointed board with a coordinating
commfiittee. Virgin-a has an annual meeting of all members of all
boards of its publicly supported institutions, and the meetings have
been good and productive.   He commended it to the Board's attention
and stated that if the meeting gets organized, he hoped the members
would be able to attend.

       Information Systems Briefing

       President Roselle stated that he would like for the Board to
understand what the University is doing in the general area of
information systems. He called attention to the IBM brochure about
computing at the University of Kentucky which was included in the
Board packet. The brochure highlights the kinds of computing
activities that are being undertaken at the University. The
University's goal is to be a leader in applications of technology in
education. The strategy is simply to find the best available
technology that the University can afford and put it as far down and
out in the curriculum as possible. He then called upon Mr. Williams
to make a brief presentation.

       Through a series of slides, Mr. Williams reviewed the progress
made during the past year and commented on some goals for the future.
He stated that it had been a very productive year and extended an
invitation to the Board members to tour the Computing Center at their
convenience.

       Basketball Report

       President Roselle continued his report calling attention to the
basketball matter. He reminded the Board of its motion that the
report submitted to the NCAA be held in confidence. He stated that
the Board's decision had come under some public scrutiny by various
people including the Governor of the Commonwealth.    He asked if the
Board wanted to reconsider its position and release the report to the
Governor. He informed the Board that he had previously attempted to
contact Governor Wilkinson to brief him on the report but due to the
flood, they were not able to get together. He called upon Mr. Darsie
to present an analysis of the legal status and an appraisal of the
declaratory judgment action to determine whether the NCAA Response is
public or private.

       Mr. Darsie reviewed the four factors considered in initiating
the joint declaration of rights suit: (1) the issue of liability,
(2) confidentiality agreements, (3) NCAA attitude, and (4) fairness to
individuals.

       Mr. Darsie passed out the affidavit of Mr. David Berst, Head of
the Enforcement Division of the NCAA. He stated that in connection
with the declaratory judgment action, he had asked Mr. Berst to give
him an affidavit which he has filed in court. He reported that the
affidavit sets out the NCAA's position with respect to the need to
protect the confidentiality of the proceedings until the Infractions
Committee meets. He stated that he did not know of a case in the
United States where the institutional response had been released prior
to the Infractions Committee report. He directed the Board's
attention to paragraphs 7, 12 and 13 of the Berst affidavit which deal
most directly with the confidentiality issue.




 







5



       Mr. Darsie continued with the present status of the matter. He
remarked that most lawyers do not want to predict when a judge may
rule; however, Judge Barker in considering this matter has made
several statements during the arguments which indicate that he
understands the need to resolve the situation quickly. Judge Barker
understands that the issue will become moot if it is not resolved
quickly. Secondly, in past rulings with respect to this matter, Judge
Barker has been very prompt. The legal counsel submitted the response
to Judge Barker in camera for his inspection about a week or so ago
and all sides had submitted briefs. The final reply briefs by all
sides were submitted yesterday. Mr. Darsie then predicted that Judge
Barker would probably rule during the week of March 6. Currently, the
legal counsel is under directions by the Board's actions to proceed
with the matter in court and to appeal if the court rules that the
document should be made public. If the Judge rules that the document
is not a public document and does not need to be released at the
present time, the newspapers will presumably appeal that decision.
Mr. Darsie then stated the question before the Board: If the court
rules the Response to be a public document and that it must be
released, what are the Board's instructions to the legal counsel with
respect to an appeal of that ruling?

       Mr. Stricker confirmed with Mr. Darsie that the University did
not appeal Judge Barker's ruling to release the NCAA allegations when
they were received.

       Mr. Ockerman asked Mr. Darsie to explain his position providing
the Board takes no action at the meeting. Mr. Darsie replied that if
the Board takes no action and the court were to rule that the document
be make public, he would appeal the decision. The Board's previous
direction was not to release the document to anybody, to proceed in
the courts for clarification and to appeal to the highest court that
would hear it. Mr. Darsie stated that if the Board takes no action,
he would proceed accordingly.

       Mr. Ockerman confirmed with Mr. Darsie that the Board was to
decide whether it wanted to review the action that it had already
taken.

       Mr. Wilcoxson said that his position had not changed and that
he would make a motion that no action is required of the Board at this
time.

       Mr. Ockerman stated that the motion was negative and unless
someone wanted to make a motion that the Board review its previous
decision, the Board stands as Mr. Darsie had explained. The
University's legal counsel will proceed with the court proceeding and
if it is adverse, the legal counsel will appeal. Therefore, if the
Board takes no action, it is reaffirming the action of the Board at
its previous meeting.

       Mr. Wilcoxson withdrew his motion and asked that his statement
be made a matter of record.



The Board did not take any action.

       Update on Lexington Campus Search

       President Roselle reported that there had been a lot of
interest in the Chancellor's position by many well qualified
applicants, and the list is being narrowed. He stated that the Search
Committee is pleased with the results of the search to date and stated
that he looked forward to bringing a good appointment to the Board for
confirmation.

       Minority Report

       President Roselle called attention to the recent newspaper
articles reporting allegations of a racial slur by Governor Chandler.
In reviewing the situation, President Roselle reminded the Board of
its previous action by reading the May 3, 1988 Resolution. He brought
the Board up-to-date on the progress that had been made in some of the
programs that had been established almost one year ago as a result of
the Resolution.

       President Roselle informed the Board that the University had
instituted a $100,000 fellowship program with the objective of
encouraging black enrollment in graduate and professional programs.
He explained that the program had been renamed the Lyman T. Johnson
Fellowship program and provided some background information on Mr.
Johnson. He reported that during 1988-89 17 awards were made ranging
from $3,500 (plus tuition) up to $10,000. Awards for 1989-90 will be
made in March and April of the current year, and the awards will bear
the name Lyman T. Johnson.

       The University also instituted a minority faculty recruitment
program. This program provides presidential support from Central
Administration for the first year of employment for black faculty with
the respective academic departments assuming the responsibility after
the first year. During 1988-89, these funds were more than fully
utilized to support the first year salaries of four additional faculty
members in the Colleges of Home Economics and Law and the Library. In
addition, commitments have already been made for first year support
for next year for three additional faculty members in the Colleges of
Dentistry, Arts and Sciences and Home Economics -- a total of seven
faculty. Another seven black faculty members have been hired in the
Community College System under a similar program put in place by
Chancellor Wethington.

       A prejudice reduction workshop was held in October for
approximately fifty of the top administrators at the University. The
program has been extended to the residence halls, and it is the
administration's hope to extend it more generally to the student body
and faculty.

       A GED and adult basic education program has been implemented
whereby assistance will be provided to the employees in taking the GED
and adult basic education will be provided for employees not ready for
a classroom environment. This program, in concert with the Operation




 







- 7 -



Read program already in place, while not directed solely to
minorities, should enhance the upward mobility of minority staff;
develop a larger pool of internal candidates for promotion; reduce the
number of functionally illiterate staff; provide the "missing link"
for staff who desire a college education but must first complete basic
education requirements; and build employee confidence and morale.

      An educational assistance program was put in place this year.
A policy was implemented whereby all full-time employees can take up
to two courses per semester at the University at no charge.

      Minority enrollment is a very important subject at the
University of Kentucky. Black enrollment on the main campus increased
by 2.5% (to 710) this year, a bit larger than the overall growth at
the University. Black undergraduates constitute 3.1% of the total
enrollment on the main campus and 6% in the Community College System.
On the main campus, blacks constitute 3.4% (576) of the undergraduates
and 2.4% (134) of the graduate and professional enrollment. There
were 135 first-time black freshmen in the fall, 4.6% of the entering
freshman class, which constituted a significant increase (43.5%) over
the prior year of 92 or 3.4% of the entering freshman enrollment.

       President Roselle stated that when the Kernel story was
published on February 27, he talked with several people including a
number of students, former Governor Chandler and Governor Wilkinson.
He stated that after having these discussions, he issued the following
statement dated February 28:

       "Today I have contacted former Governor A.B. Chandler about the
       comments attributed to him in the February 27 issue of the
       KENTUCKY KERNEL. Governor Chandler has categorically denied
       having made those comments to the KERNEL reporter. In the
       meantime, the KENTUCKY KERNEL has said that it will stand by
       the February 27 story.

       Whatever the truth of this matter, I believe that Board
       members, administrators and faculty members must respect all of
       the constituents of the University of Kentucky. Those who do
       not, by reason of their actions or comments, should therefore
       not serve.

       In April 1988, this responsibility of membership was discussed
       with and agreed to by Governor Chandler. At that time, he
       issued an apology for the unfortunate remark he made at the
       April 5 meeting of the Investment Committee of the UK Board of
       Trustees. Today Governor Chandler has again agreed with this
       basic obligation of membership on the Board of Trustees.

       I abhor racial bigotry, and as UK President remain committed to
       implementation of programs that evidence this institution's
       desire to recruit and graduate black students, to provide
       career paths for black employees, and to recruit and promote
       black faculty members. I deeply regret that the comments
       attributed to Governor Chandler have served to detract from the
       considerable efforts of the University to meet these goals."

       President Roselle apologized to Governor Chandler for the
discomfort caused to him. He stated that Governor Chandler denied
having made the comments in the article and that there was not a
presumption that he had made them. On the other hand, the matter
achieved some notoriety in the public and any statement of anything
less than racial harmony and conmitment to making the University of
Kentucky the university for all Kentuckians is terribly inconsistent
with the goals of the administration. Therefore, President Roselle
expressed that he thought it would be appropriate to discuss the
matter with the Board.

       Governor Chandler stated that 64 years had passed since he came
to the University of Kentucky to be Chairman of the Board of Trustees
and noted that he graduated from the University in the class of 1924.
He reminded the Board that he was named centennial trustee of the
University by the National Association of Schools and Universities of
Land Grant Colleges and that he is a member of the Board of Trustees
having been appointed by three governors other than the two terms he
served on his own. He expressed that he longed for the old days when
the Board did not have any trouble, and stated that the media had to
go a long way to make trouble for him, all the way to Zimbabwe. The
newspaper took a remark and tried to make something out of it. He
stated that he regretted it more than he could say. He continued that
nobody in this lifetime has made as outstanding and valuable
contributions to the black people as he. He said that he could not
understand why they want to make trouble for him, and that the last
two years had not been fun. Governor Chandler gave his word that he
never has deliberately, purposely or even accidentally said or done a
single dishonorable act connected with the University of Kentucky. He
emphasized that he would not resign from the Board. He stated that he
had talked to Governor Wilkinson about the matter and that Governor
Wilkinson does not want him to resign -- he appointed him to the
Board. He said, "Under no circumstances would I resign unless he
asked me to."

       Mr. Sturgill moved that the Board reaffirm its position of the
Resolution of May 3, 1988. Mrs. Hayes seconded the motion and stated
that she did appreciate the efforts the University has made in making
progress toward improving racial relationships. The motion carried
unanimously.

       Mr. James Rose asked that the Resolution recently passed by the
Student Government Association be made a part of the record. Mr.
Ockerman stated that without objection the Resolution of the Student
Government Association distributed to the members would be made a part
of the Minutes. (See Resolution at the end of the Minutes.)

       F.    Personnel Actions (PR 21

       With President Roselle so recommending, on motion by Mr.
Farmer, seconded by Mr. Burnett and carried, the routine personnel
actions in PR 2 were approved. (See PR 2 at the end of the Minutes.)

Professor Betts so moved. His motion was seconded by Mr. Burnett and
passed without dissent. (See PR 6B at the end of the Minutes)

       M. A-ccptance of Interim Financial Report for the University
.LE.ntucky for the Seven Months Ended January 31. 1989 (FOR 12

       Mr. Forgy, Chairman of the Finance Committee, recommended that

seconded by Mr. Sturgill and passed. (See FCR 1 at the end of the
Minutes.)

       N.    Capital Construction Report (FCR 2)

       On motion made by Mr. Forgy, seconded by Mr. Wilcoxson and

       0.    Confirmation of 1989-90 Tuition Schedule (FCR 3)

       Mr. Forgy reminded the Board that the tuition schedule is set
by the Council on Higher Education, but the statute requires that the
schedule be confirmed and accepted by the institutional boards. He,
therefore, moved that the Board confirm changes in the tuition
schedule as adopted by the Council on Higher Education and establish
corresponding part-time and Summer School charges under the guidelines
of the Council on Higher Education. His motion was seconded by Judge
Tackett and carried. (See FCR 3 at the end of the Minutes.)

(See FCR 4 at the end of the Minutes.)

       Mr. Stricker reminded the Board that last year the fees had to
be raised by a very high percentage and stated that he was under the
impression that in the future the fees would be raised in very small
amounts yearly to avoid any large increases.

       President Roselle stated that part of the charge to the
administration was to develop a plan for construction of a fee
schedule in consultation with the Student Government Association. A
proposal for setting fees is being discussed, and it will be brought
to the Board at a later date.

9 at the end of the Minutes.)

       V.    Report of Investments (ICR 1)

       Mr. Stricker, Chairman of the Investment Committee, reported
that ICR 1 is a routine report and moved that the report of changes
made in investments for the University of Kentucky and its affiliated
corporations for the three months ended December 31, 1988 be
