Interim President Wethington reported that Edward Jay Brumfield, Director of Alumni Affairs at the University of Kentucky, has decided to retire on August 31, 1990 after 25.5 consecutive years of service. He expressed appreciation to Mr. Brumfield for his service to the University and stated that his leadership will be missed. Mr. Brumfield was asked to stand and be recognized, following which he was given a round of applause. 2. Interim President Wethington reported that he had stopped the search for a Vice Presidenit for Research and Graduate Studies at the advice of many faculty members and administrators. After consultation with the Chancellors and a faculty advisory group, a decision was made concerning an acting appointment during the interim presidential period. He proposed to the Board that Dr. Leonard K. Peters be appointed Acting Vice President for Research and Graduate Studies for the period July 1, 1990 through June 30, 1991. Dr. Peters is currently Vice Chancellor for Research and Graduate Studies for the Lexington Campus.

Candidates for Degrees - Community College System (PR 4A) With Interim President Wethington so recommending, Professor Rhoads moved that the Board approve the awarding of degrees specified in PR 4A, upon certification that the requirements for those degrees have been satisfactorily completed. The motion, which was seconded by Mr. Burnett, carried. (See PR 4A at the end of the Minutes.) G. Candidates for Degrees - University System (PR 5A) Interim President Wethington stated that PR 5A lists the degrees that will be awarded by the University System at the May Commencement Ceremony. He stated that the recommendation is made with the provision that the individuals on the list satisfactorily complete all degree requirements prior to the awarding of the degrees and recommended its approval. Mr. Stricker so moved. His motion was seconded by Dr. Meriwether and passed. (See PR 5A at the end of the Minutes.) H. Establishment ofjealth Service Faculty Practice Plan for the Colleges of Allied Health Professions. Nursing. ajnd Pharmacy (PR 6A) Interim President Wethington stated that PR 6A is a recommendation that would establish a Health Service Faculty Practice Plan for the Colleges of Allied Health Professions, Nursing, and Pharmacy. He reported that there is not a practice plan in place for these colleges in the Medical Center. He asked Dr. Peter Bosomworth to comment on the recommendation. Dr. Bosomworth stated that the administration has been working with the faculty of the respective colleges for the last several months to develop a practice plan which is very similar to the existing practice plan of the College of Dentistry. He explained that the intention is to enhance accountability with regard to income derived from professional practice of faculty members. When faculty are engaged in professional practice, they are also involved in teaching and are enhancing their professional skills. The administration feels that this is particularly important in these three professional schools and has, therefore, developed a practice plan proposal. The principal elements of the proposal are outlined in PR 6. He stated that the practice plan is very similar to that which was approved in 1962 by the Board of Trustees under the auspices and recommendation of The Fund for Advancement of Medical Education and Research. He noted that Mr. Ockerman, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, is a member of that committee and had the opportunity to review the plan along with other members of the research fund which is an affiliated corporation of the University. The practice plan would now make it possible for all faculty members of the five Medical Center colleges to be a part of and party to a practice plan. It is expected that all members would abide by the rules and regulations of the practice plan and that all faculty would participate. - 4 - Interim President Wethington stated that Dr. Bosomworth and his staff worked with the faculty of each college, and the faculty are in support of the recommendation. He, therefore, recommended approval of PR 6A. On motion made by Judge Tackett, seconded by Mr. Wilcoxscn and carried, it was so ordered. (See PR 6A at the end of the Minutes.) I. Establishment of Multidisciplinary Center on Drug and Alcohol Abuse (PR 6B) Interim President Wethington stated that PR 6B recommends approval for the establishment of a Multidisciplinary Center on Drug and Alcohol Abuse. He called upon Dr. Wimberly Royster to address the Board about the proposal. Dr. Royster stated that drug abuse and alcohol abuse are some of the most serious public health problems. The University is in an excellent position to mobilize and concentrate research, teaching and service efforts in a multidisciplinary center as is being proposed. He introduced Dr. Robert Kraus, Chairman of the Department of Psychiatry, and stated that Dr. Kraus was one of the individuals who has been instrumental in the proposal. The other individual who has been very active in the proposal is Dr. Richard Clayton, Department of Sociology. Dr. Royster explained that the proposed Center fits very well in the University's strategic plan, and it offers the potential for enhancing research contributions at the University of Kentucky. The Center will permit the University to be competitive at the national and international level and will have an impact on local, regional, and state public health resources. He noted that the University has been associated with drug issues for a long time and has been a leader in alcohol abuse and drug abuse. He reported that competitive research programs have recently evolved in a number of areas at the University: communications, social work, psychiatry, psychology, preventative medicine, pharmacy, anthropology and nursing. He indicated that the University has received sizable funding in alcohol and drug abuse from federal sources as well as state and local government over the last three to four years. Dr. Royster voiced his satisfaction with the proposal and stated that it is truly a multidisciplinary effort. The University of Kentucky has excellent facilities, and it is a unique opportunity for the University. Mr. Sturgill moved approval of PR 6B. The motion, which was seconded by Professor Rhoads, was voted on and carried. (See PR 6B at the end of the Minutes.) 5 - J.

He noted that representatives from both offices attended the Committee meeting. Mr. Stricker mentioned that the University hired the Office of Financial Management on October 31, 1989 to help with the short-term investments and during the first six months they added approximately $100,000 additional returns to the University. He stated that the short-term investment plan has been quite successful and moved that the report be accepted. His motion was seconded by Judge Stephens and it passed.
