       2.   The Somerset extended campus site at London has been opened
             and will be enrolling students in the Fall Semester, 1992.

       3.    Six University of Kentucky physicians have been named to the
             "Best Doctors in America" list. The physicians named are N.
             K. Burki, Anthony DeMaria, Robert W. Lightfoot, Edward Luce,
             Franklin D. Miller and John R. van Nagell.

       4.    The University Senate has recommended new regulations,
             incorporating a concept called the "teaching portfolio," to
             help evaluate teaching.

       5.   A new Business and Industry Technical Assistance Center has
             been opened at Madisonville Community College. This is a
             part of the Community College System economic development
             effort.

       6.    The Howard Hughes Medical Institute has given UK $1 million
             as part of a nationwide effort to keep U.S. students
             competitive in science and mathematics.

       7.   A science enrichment program for Appalachian, Eastern
             Kentucky and African-American high school students will
             begin at UK this summer with a four-year, $1,358,765 grant
             from the National Cancer Institute.

       8.    Doris Y. Wilkinson, professor of sociology, has been named

             of Kentucky as part of the state's bicentennial celebration,
             has sold out its first printing of 5,000.

             Professor Betts commended to the Board the incredible
             service provided by Professor John Kleber of Morehead State
             University, who was editor in chief of "The Kentucky
             Encyclopedia," and by Ken Cherry, the director of University
             Press of Kentucky. He said that without the diligent,
             forceful, intelligent efforts that these two people put into
             the publication it would not have reached its delightful
             state. He said that it has become an incredible best seller
             in the nature quite different from most encyclopedias. It
             is wonderful to see members of the University community
             doing something that reaches out to serve the Commonwealth
             in the broadest sense of that term.

       E.    Personnel Actions (PR 2)

       President Wethington recommended that approval be given to the
routine appointments, actions and/or other staff changes which require
Board action; and that the report relative to appointments and/or changes
already approved by the administration be accepted.   Professor Bratt
moved approval. Professor Betts seconded the motion, and it carried.

       F.    Revision of University of Kentucky Retirement Plan (PR 3A)

       President Wethington recommended that the Board approve a change
in the University of Kentucky Retirement Plan (Administrative Regulation
II-1.6-1) to eliminate Section III.A.3. which provides for an incentive
payment for employees whose retirement date precedes the month they
attain age 65. In addition, it is recommended that one-month advance
notice of intent to retire, rather than three months as currently
provided, be required for retirements prior to October 1, 1992. He said
that this change is necessary to get the University into compliance with
federal rules and regulations and also to avoid any action that might be
construed as age discrimination on the part of the University. It will
go into effect October 1, 1992. Mr. Sturgill moved approval. His
motion, seconded by Mrs. Hayes, passed. (See PR 3A at the end of the
Minutes.)

       G.    Proposed Amendment to the University of Kentucky Research
Foundation. Inc. Articles of Incorporation (PR 3B)

       President Wethington recommended that the proposed amendment to
the Articles of Incorporation of the University of Kentucky Research
Foundation, Inc., be approved by the University of Kentucky Board of
Trustees. He said that the amendment recognizes the changes in titles
for the ex officio members on the Board of Directors which have resulted
from changes in the University organization. Mr. Shoop moved approval.
Mr. Crosbie seconded the motion, and it carried. (See PR 3B at the end
of the Minutes.)

       H.    Appointmert of President. Ashland Community College (PR 4A)

       President Wethington said that PR 4A is a recommendation
concerning the appointment of a new president for Ashland Community
College and asked Chancellor Carr to comment on the recommendation.

       Chancellor Carr reported that Dr. Charles R. Dassance comes to the
University with 24 years of experience at four different community
colleges and has served as provost and Chief Executive Officer of the
Kent Campus, Florida Community College at Jacksonville, for the past six
years. He explained that Dr. Dassance could not be present at the Board
meeting but said that he was anxious to move to Kentucky and assume the
role of president. He recommended that Dr. Dassance be approved.

       President Wethington noted that the recommendation of Dr. Dassance
comes from a search committee established by Chancellor Carr to select
the best candidate for the position. He, therefore, recommended that Dr.
Dassance be named President of Ashland Community College effective August
3, 1992. Dr. Meriwether moved approval. The motion, seconded by Mr.
Burnett, carried. (See PR 4A at the end of the Minutes.)

       I.    Proposed Amendment to the University of Kentucky Equine
Research Foundation. Inc. Articles of Incorporation (PR 5A)

       President Wethington recommended that the proposed amendment to
the Articles of Incorporation of the University of Kentucky Equine
Research Foundation be approved by the University of Kentucky Board of
Trustees. He explained that the Foundation's Board of Directors passed a




 






- 4 -



resolution by unanimous vote to amend Article VIII of its Articles of
Incorporation. He reported that an amendment was written and the Board
of Directors approved the amendment at their May 6, 1992 meeting by
unanimous vote. On motion made by Mrs. Sims and seconded by Professor
Rhoads, PR 5A passed. (See PR 5A at the end of the Minutes.)

       J.    Reappointments to University of Kentucky Equine Research
Foundation (PR 5B)

       President Wethington recommended that approval be given to the
reappointment of the following as members of the Board of Directors of
the University of Kentucky Equine Research Foundation for four-year terms
through December 14, 1995: Miss Helen Alexander, Dr. Edward S. Ford, Dr.
James M. Hills, IV, and Mrs. Virginia Kraft Payson. Mr. Shoop moved
approval. His motion, seconded by Mr. Crosbie, carried. (See PR 5B at
the end of the Minutes.)

       K.    Appointment of Dean of Fine Arts (PR 50)

       President Wethington said that PR 5C is the appointment of a Dean
of Fine Arts and asked Chancellor Hemenway to comment on the
recommendation.

       Chancellor Hemenway reported that a national search began in the
Spring of 1991 after Dean Richard Domek indicated his desire to resign as
Dean of Fine Arts. He said that more than 70 applications and
nominations were received and four finalists were asked to visit campus.
The finalists were interviewed extensively by faculty, staff, students,
and administrators, and Dr. Pollack was the top choice of those who met
with the finalists. He briefly reviewed Dr. Pollack's credentials and
said that he was pleased to recommend that she be named Dean of Fine Arts.

       President Wethington recommended that Dr. Rhoda-Gale Pollack be
named Dean of Fine Arts effective July 1, 1992. Mrs. Hayes moved
approval. Her motion, seconded by Professor Betts, carried. (See PR 5C
at the end of the Minutes.)

       L.    Agreement Between University of Kentucky and Kentucky
Medical Services Foundation (PR 6A)

       President Wethington called on Dr. Clapp to report on the
recommendation in PR 6A.

       Dr. Clapp explained that in 1978 the Board approved a new practice
plan for the physicians in the College of Medicine and one of the
provisions of that plan provided for an annual contract with an
appropriately qualified organizational entity for carrying out necessary
functions and assuming the responsibilities involved in the
administration of income for professional services under the plan. He
said that the changes in the agreement are routine, simply adjusting the
numbers and dates in the contract.

       President Wethington recommended that the Board approve the
agreement between the Board of Trustees of the University of Kentucky and
Kentucky Medical Services Foundation, Inc. which was negotiated pursuant
to the "Board of Trustees Resolution Regarding Medical Practice Plan"

adopted on June 20, 1978. Dr. Meriwether moved approval. The motion,
seconded by Mr. Rose, passed. (See PR 6A at the end of the Minutes.)

       M.    Naming of University Building (PR 6B)

       President Wethington recommended that the Board approve the name
"Kentucky Clinic" for the new clinic and office facility which has been
constructed by the Kentucky Medical Services Foundation and donated as a
gift to the University of Kentucky. Mr. Wilcoxson moved approval. Mr.
Sturgill seconded the motion, and it passed. (See PR 6B at the end of
the Minutes.)

       N.    Appointment to the Ruth Louise Works Professorship (PR 6C)

       President Wethington recommended that the Board authorize the
appointment of Dr. Michael P. McQuillen, Professor and Chairman,
Neurology, as the holder of the Ruth Louise Works Professorship,
effective July 1, 1992. He reported that the purpose of the
Professorship is to provide a distinguished scholar to conduct research
in the field of myasthenia gravis to the Department of Neurology in the
College of Medicine. Dr. Foster moved approval of PR 6C. His motion,
seconded by Professor Bratt, carried. (See PR 6C at the end of the
Minutes.)

       0.    Resolution by Professor Bratt

       Professor Bratt read the following resolution that was presented
to the University Senate at its April 27 meeting and asked that it be
included in the Minutes of the June 16, 1992 meeting of the Board of
Trustees:

       It is a privilege to present this resolution of appreciation for
       and thanks to Dr. Raymond F. Betts for his years of service to the
       faculty of the University of Kentucky as a member of the
       University Senate, the Senate Council and Board of Trustees. It
       is also very appropriate that we pause, now, to honor him. As you
       know, the faculty of this University has been under attack
       recently by some who question our commitment to teaching, the
       value of our research and our willingness to perform public
       service. Professor Betts is our best answer to those wrongheaded
       critics. He is the quintessential professor - a recipient of the
       University's Great Teacher Award, a nationally and internationally
       recognized historian, an author, a columnist, a commentator and a
       public servant in the best tradition of that ideal.

       Professor Betts' accomplishments also include his directorship of
       the Honors program and the establishment of the Gaines Center for
       the Humanities on our campus. The Honors Program and the
       Humanities Center have nurtured literally thousands of students
       whose intellectual interests could not be neatly pigeon-holed into
       one particular discipline. Just as importantly, these two
       programs have provided nourishment for the faculty participants.
       They, too, have interests which span the traditional academic
       disciplines as well as the need for a place where we can fulfill
       our personal commitments to teaching. Long before an interest in
       teaching excellence became fashionable in higher education,




 






- 6 -



       Professor Betts was a master of this art form. Moreover, he was
       providing the rest of us with forums with which we could hone our
       teaching skills.

       Professor Betts has also demonstrated a strong and lasting
       commitment to fulfilling the responsibilities as well as asserting
       the rights attendant to the notion of faculty governance. He has
       given unsparingly of his time and talents to insure that the
       faculty's voice is heard. And, when he has been charged by us to
       give voice to our concerns, he has always done so in the most
       convincing and persuasive manner.

       Professor Betts has served as the faculty representative on the
       Board of Trustees of the University of Kentucky for six years
       under three different presidents. Time and again, during his term
       on the Board he was called upon to speak for the faculty
       concerning very difficult and controversial matters.

       Professor Betts never tested the political winds to determine
       whether he should articulate faculty concerns and opinions.
       Instead, his touchstone was his own unerring sense of what is
       ethical, fair and just. He never tailored what he said or trimmed
       his sails because of the impact his words or actions might have on
       his career. Instead, he consulted with the faculty and then spoke
       for us, at times courageously, because he believed he was duty
       bound to represent our interests, not his self interests.

       And, when Professor Betts spoke out at the Board of Trustees
       meetings, it was always done in the most erudite manner. He drew
       on his seemingly inexhaustible store of knowledge and vocabulary
       to find the right combination of thoughts, images and words to
       demonstrate to the Board the cogency of the faculty's opinion.
       During Professor Betts' tenure on the Board, the faculty was,
       indeed, well represented and well-served.

       The faculty joins with me in honoring Dr. Raymond Betts not just
       for numerous professional achievements but because he has set an
       example of what it means to be a responsible, contributing member
       of a community of scholars. And, I invite the Board to join with
       the faculty now in publicly thanking him.

       Dr. Betts was given a round of applause.

       Mr. Ockerman thanked Professor Bratt and Professor Betts. He
asked that the resolution be spread upon the Minutes.

       He then called attention to the other two Board members whose
terms would be expiring June 30, 1992 and expressed thanks and
appreciation for their contributions to the Board: Scott Crosbie and
Judith Rhoads. They were given a round of applause.

       P.    Acceptance of Interim Financial Report for the University of
Kentucky for the Eleven Months Ended May 31, 1992 (FCR J1

       Mr. Ockerman, in his capacity as Chairman of the Finance

       R.    Report of Leases (FCR 3)

       With the Finance Committee so recommending, Mr. Ockerman
entertained a motion that the Board accept the President's Report of the
lease agreements in FCR 3 in accordance with Board Policy. Mr. Burnett
moved approval. The motion, seconded by Dr. Meriwether, carried. (See
FCR 3 at the end of the Minutes.)

       S.    Approval of Leases (FCR 4)

       On the recommendation of the Finance Committee, Mr. Ockerman
recommended that the Vice President for Administration be authorized to
renew the leases in excess of $30,000 as specified in FCR 4. Professor
Rhoads moved approval. Her motion was seconded by Mr. Burnett and
passed. (See FCR 4 at the end of the Minutes.)

       T.    1991-92 Budget Revisions (FOR 5)

       Mr. Ockerman entertained a motion that the Board approve the
routine budget revisions in FCR 5. On motion made by Mr. Rose, seconded
by Dr. Meriwether and passed, the revisions were approved. (See FCR 5 at
the end of the Minutes.)

       Mr. Ockerman noted that FCR 6, the Operating Budget for 1992-93,
would be moved to the last item on the agenda.

       U.    Acceptance of Gift from Kentucky Medical Services Foundation
of Kentucky Clinic Building (FCR 7)

       Mr. Ockerman recommended that the Board accept the generous gift
to the University by the Kentucky Medical Services Foundation (KMSF)
which consists of the newly constructed clinic and office facility on the
University of Kentucky campus and located at 740 South Limestone Street.
Mr. Wilcoxson moved approval. His motion, seconded by Mr. Sturgill,
passed. (See FCR 7 at the end of the Minutes.)

       V.    Acceptance of Gift for Renovation of Warren Wright Medical
Plaza Building (FCR 8)

       Mr. Ockerman recommended that the Board accept as a gift from the
Kentucky Medical Services Foundation renovations of certain clinics and
clinic support areas of the Warren Wright Medical Plaza Building at a
value of up to $1.5 million. Mr. Crosbie moved approval. The motion was
seconded by Professor Rhoads and passed. (See FCR 8 at the end of the
Minutes.)

       W.    Endowed Chair in Alcoholism and Addiction Medicine (FCR 9)

       With the Finance Committee so recommending, Mr. Ockerman
entertained a motion that the Board establish in the College of Medicine,
contingent upon the full funding of the Trust in the amount of
$1,000,000, the Chair in Alcoholism and Addiction Medicine. Mr. Sturgill
moved approval. The motion, seconded by Mrs. Sims, carried. (See FCR 9
at the end of the Minutes.)

       X.    Mining of Coal Reserves and Leasing of Surface for Coal
Mining Purposes - Bear Branch Tract of Robinson Forest (FCR 10)

       Mr. Ockerman asked Vice President Carter to comment on the mining
of coal reserves and the leasing of the surface for coal mining purposes
on Bear Branch Tract of Robinson Forest.

       Mr. Carter explained that FCR 10 requests two actions by the
Board: (1) that the Board find that competitive leasing of the coal
reserves on Bear Branch Tract is not feasible; and (2) that the
University's Administration be authorized to negotiate and execute a
surface and mineral lease agreement with Ark Land Company providing for
the leasing of the University's coal reserves in Bear Branch with minimum
terms as follows:

       a.    $3.00 per ton or 10% of gross proceeds per ton FOB shipping
             point, whichever is greater, and

       b.    $ .50 per ton for coal owned by other mineral owners.

       He explained that except for three relatively small areas this
would close up the watershed boundaries of the 10,000 acres that the
Cabinet of Natural Resources ruled as lands unsuitable for mining back in
February 1991.

       Mr. Rose moved approval of FCR 10. His motion was seconded by Mr.
Sturgill and carried. (See FCR 10 at the end of the Minutes.)

       Mr. Ockerman thanked Mr. Carter and members of the legal staff,
Mr. Darsie and Mr. VanBcoven, for their excellent work in carrying out
the directives of the Board as it relates to the Robinson Forest. He
also expressed appreciation to Mr. Rose and Mr. Sturgill for their
contribution in regard to the entire process.

       Y.    Resolution of the Board of Trustees of the University of
Kentucky Accepting the Successful Bid for the Purchase of $25.430.0CQ
Principal Amount of University of Kentucky Consolidated Educational
Buildings Revenue Bonds. Series N. Dated June 1, 1992 (FCR 11)

       Thereupon, a motion was made by Mr. Wilcoxson and seconded by Mr.
Burnett that the Resolution, which was presented to and accepted by the
Finance Committee, be adopted.



(Resolution attached to these Minutes)

(See FCR 11 at the end of the Minutes.)

       Z.    Operating Budget for 1992-93 (FCR 6)

       Mr. Ockerman asked President Wethington to comment on the
Operating Budget for 1992-93.

       President Wethington presented the budget proposal for 1992-93.
He said that it was absolutely essential that the Board understand the
nature and magnitude of the cuts the University had experienced during
the past year and know that those cuts were the driving force behind many
of the decisions made in getting the budget prepared for the Board. He
expressed appreciation to the members of the Board who spent time getting
acquainted with the budget and the proposal itself.

       In opening his budget presentation, President Wethington reported
that the University System started in 1991-92 with $261.9 million, and
the Community College System, a separate appropriation, started with
$73.4 million. He reviewed the budget cuts that had taken place in the
fall of 1991 under former Governor Wallace Wilkinson's administration and
the spring of 1992 under Governor Brereton Jones' administration, noting
the total reduction for the University System was $26.4 million and $4.7
million for the Community College System.

       He explained that the administration tried to protect the primary
academic programs of the institution: instruction, research, and
service. He said that they have also tried to protect employees and
their jobs as well as faculty and staff salary gains that have taken
place the last two years.




 







- 10 -



       He elaborated on the following established priorities that have
also been protected:

       1.   Equity concerns
       2.   Undergraduate education
       3.   KERA
       4.    Service and graduate level instruction throughout the state
       5.    Enrollment demands in the Community College System
       6.   Forefront of information technology

       President Wethington said that the primary impact of the budget
cuts is that there are no salary increases for the University's employees
except for faculty promotions. He noted that over the last four years
the administration has been able to bring the faculty salaries of the
University System from 88.8% of the median of the benchmark institutions
to 98.7% and the Community College System from 91.6% to 99.8%.

       President Wethington reported that there would not be an increase
in overall operating expenses. He said that the operating expenses had
been decreased further, and as a result, service levels across campus
have been decreased. He asked that the Board understand that, out of the
total cut of $31.1 million, there is still $3.1 million proposed in the
budget to be handled on a non-recurring basis.

       He reported that from July 1, 1991 to July 1, 1992 there have been
475 faculty and staff positions eliminated at the University. He
informed the Board that these vacancies have occurred from employees
either retiring or leaving the University. He pointed out that the
University has not laid off any full-time employees in the process.

       In reviewing the 1992-93 activities, President Wethington said
that the plans for the future have to be built on a reduced base. He
noted that there are some new state dollars coming to the University in
1992-93; however, these dollars are designated by the General Assembly
for specific purposes. He informed the Board that the administration
will be reviewing the administrative structure, the staffing patterns,
and workloads, and there will also be a comprehensive review of the
Strategic Plan to focus on the future direction of the University.

       President Wethington provided information on special state
appropriations, the use of regular tuition income, and other income
(self-supporting activities). He then reviewed the capital budget,
noting that the University does not have any new facilities proposed for
1992-93 with the exception of the planning and design work for the new
central and life sciences library for the Commonwealth.

       In conclusion, President Wethington said that the state
appropriation for higher education has been on a decline from 1980
through 1994, and that higher education will be more and more starved for
funds going into the 1990's.  He cited Southern Regional Education Board
data which confirms the fact that state support is on a continual
decrease in terms of percentage of state revenue for the colleges and
universities of the Commcnwealth.

       President Wethington stated that his budget presentation is a
reflection that the university has successfully handled the budget cut.
He said that, in his opinion, the University of Kentucky can be looked at
as an example of the way to manage the costs of higher education and it
cannot be singled out as an institution that is spending more than peer
institutions across the nation.

       Mr. Ockerman entertained a motion for approval of FCR 6. Dr.
Meriwether moved that the budget as recommended be adopted and that the
chairman of the Board be authorized to negotiate and execute contracts
with the administrative officers providing for the terms and conditions
of their employment. The motion was seconded by Mr. Wilcoxson and
unanimously adopted.

       AA.   Executive Session

       Mr. Shoop moved that the Board go into executive session to
discuss a legal matter regarding Joseph Murray Hayse v. Board of Trustees
of the University of Kentucky, et al. His motion was seconded by Mrs.
Hayes and carried. Thereafter, at 2:05 p.m. the Board went into
executive session.

       BB.   Meeting Reconvened

       The meeting reconvened at 2:18 p.m. Mr. Ockerman reported that
the Board had discussed the settlement offer of plaintiff Dr. Joseph
Murray Hayse, and it was rejected. He recognized Governor Wilkinson to
formalize the Board's action in open session. Governor Wilkinson moved
that the settlement offer to the Board of Trustees by Dr. Joseph Murray
Hayse be rejected. Mr. Sturgill seconded the motion and it passed.

       Mr. Ockerman asked that the record show that Chief Justice Robert
Stephens did not participate in the discussion in the executive session
or the final vote.

       CC.   President Wethington's Comments

       President Wethington reminded the Board that a new Board of
Trustees will be in place on July 1, 1992. He expressed appreciation to
all the members of the current Board for their excellent service and
leadership. He thanked them for the support that they have given to the
University and to him personally.

       DD.   Meeting Adiourned

       Mr. Ockerman asked that it be spread on the Minutes of the Board
that the meeting adjourned in recognition of the service that this Board
of Trustees has given to the University of Kentucky and to all of the
predecessor members who have served on the Board and made major

contributions to the University. He joined President Wethington in
expressing appreciation to the members and said that it had been a great
experience. There being no further business to come before the Board,
the meeting adjourned at 2:20 p.m.

                                       Respectfully submitted,



                                       Edythe Jones Hayes
