     Minutes of the Meeting of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees
of the University of Kentucky, Friday, January 21, 1966, Board Room, Adminis-
tration Building


     The Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees of the University of
Kentucky met in regular session in the Board Room of the Administration Building
on the campus of the University at 1:30 p.m. , EST, on Friday, January 21, 1966,
with the following members present: Dr. Ralph Angelucci, Chairman, Judge J. A.
Sutherland, Secretary, Mr. Smith Broadbent, Jr., and Dr. H. B. Murray. Mr.
Robert Hillenmeyer was unable to be present. President John W. Oswald, Vice
Presidents A. D. Albright, Robert F. Kerley, William R. Willard, Glenwood L.
Creech, and Robert L. Johnson, and representatives of the news media were also
in attendance.


     A. Meeting Opened

     Following roll call, the secretary reported a quorum present, and the
Chairman declared the meeting officially opeil for the conduct of business at 1:35
o'clock.


     B. Report to the Trustees (PR 1)

     Dr. Oswald went over each item in PR 1, President's Report to the Trustees,
indicating that it represented coverage of activities at the University since his last
report to the Trustees in December. He called particular attention to the en-
rollment figures given in the report and gave the Board members the following
information which he had received since the report was printed:

                  Total enrollment on main campus       12, 576
                  Estimated enrollment in Community
                     Colleges                            4, 350
                                                         16, 926

Comparedtothe same time last year, there are 2, 401 more students on the main
campus.

     Dr. Willard called attention to an error which appeared on page 5 of the
report. Dr. Pisacano was given as chairman of the Department of Medicine, where-
as Dr. Pellegrino is actually chairman of the Department.


      C. Recommendations of the President (PR 2)



Since the items contained in PR 2, Recommendations of the President, were




 






                                                                         2




concerned primarily with matters related to the Division of Business Affairs, Dr.
Oswald asked Mr. Kerley for his comments. Mr. Kerley called attention to Page 1
of the Financial Report, Section IA and ID in particular and indicated that the cash
balances are substantially invested on a short-term basis which produce additional
income for the University. All future financial reports will reflect the investment
status of short-term balances.

     On motion by Mr. Broadbent, seconded by Judge Sutherland, and without
dissent, the items contained in PR 2 were approved as a whole and ordered made a
part of the Minutes of the January 21, 1966 meeting of the Executive Committee.
(See PR 2 at the end of the Minutes. )


     D. Supplemental Recommendations of the President (PR 3)

     After allowing the members of the Board sufficient time to familiarize them-
selves with the contents of PR 3, Supplemental Recommendations of the President,
Dr. Oswald called particular attention to the request of Dr. Clark Keating that he
be allowed to relinquish the chairmanship of the Department of Modern Foreign
Languages and return to full-time teaching, research, and writing July 1, 1966.
As this is in keeping with the policy relative to rotation of department chairmen,
Dr. Oswald recommended approval of his request. He expressed his appreciation
for the leadership which Professor Keating has given to the Department of Modern
Foreign Languages during his tenure as chairman. He also voiced his confidence in
the contribution which Dr. Philip A. Duncan would make to the new Department of
French Language and Literature when he assumes the chairmanship of the de-
partment on July 1, 1966.

     Mr. Kerley reported on a recent development which, beginning with the
January checks, will permit the University to write its own payroll checks. In the
past, some employees have received University and some State Treasurer checks.
With the help of Commissioner Felix Joyner the University will now receive an ad-
vance monthly. The new policy will greatly simplify and strengthen the entire
payroll procedure and will cut down on the paper work considerably. It is an im-
portant development and could not have been made without the interest and support
of Commissioner Joyner.

     Judge Sutherland made the motion that the items contained in PR 3, Supple-
mental Recommendations of the President, be approved as a whole and made a
part of the official Minutes of the January 21, 1966 meeting. His motion was
seconded by Mr. Broadbent and without dissent it was so ordered. (See PR 3 at the
end of the Minutes. )


     E. School of Fine Arts Established and Professor Hubert Henderson
Appointed Director and Associate Dean for the School of Fine Arts



Dr. Oswald opened his remarks by reminding the Executive Committee that



I , 1




 





                                                                          3



in the early stages of discussion of the Academic Plan, there was some question
as to whether the College of Arts and Sciences because of the many disciplines
which it covered might be divided into several colleges. The Academic Plan,
however, recommended that the College of Arts and Sciences remain intact. The
College appointed a committee to study its own program and this committee has
recommended that the present structure of four divisions be changed to a series
of schools headed by a director who would also be an associate dean for program
planning in that area. It was emphasized that these schools are not to be con-
strued as representing further administrative entities. Rather the regular affairs
of instruction, personnel, and business will continue to follow the customary path
between the departments and the office of the dean. Although it is intended they
share quarters with the departments they serve, the directors of these schools
will actually be a part of the dean's office, having no need for separate budgets.

     Dr. Oswald indicated that the committee' s recommendation had the approval
of the College faculty, the dean, and the provost and that at this time he wished to
recommend (1) the establishment of the first school, the School of Fine Arts,
(2) that Professor Hubert Henderson, Chairman of the Department of Music, be
named Director and Associate Dean for the School of Fine Arts, and (3) that both
actions be effective February 1, 1966.

     On motion by Mr. Broadbent, seconded by Judge Sutherland, and without
objection the School of Fine Arts was established within the structure of the College
of Arts and Sciences, Professor Hubert Henderson was appointed Director and
Associate Dean for the School of Fine Arts, and both actions were made effective
February 1, 1966.


     F. Degree Candidates Approved

     President Oswald called attention to the list of candidates for degrees and
added that there was a total of 461 persons on the list, 342 undergraduates and 119
graduate students. He said that the Registrar of the University has certified that
all persons whose names appear on the list have completed the requirements for
the degree for which application is made. This list has not received prior approval
by the University Senate since it was impossible to have proper certification of the
completion of requirements at the time of the last Senate meeting. The list will be
presented for approval at the February meeting of the University Senate and the ap-
proval of the Board is requested contingent upon approval by the Senate.

     The candidates for Juris Doctor Degree are not submitted for consideration
at this time since all the grades have not been turned in by the College of Law and
the requirements cannot be determined. These candidates will be submitted for
consideration at a later date.

     Judge Sutherland made the following motion: that approval be given to
the list of candidates for degrees as submitted, contingent upon subsequent
approval by the University Senate, and that the President of the University be
authorized and directed to confer upon each the degree to which he or she is
entitled at the commencement exercises in May 1966. His motion was
seconded by Dr. Murray and without objection, it was so ordered.


     G. Adjustment of Room and Board Rates

     Mr. Kerley explained that the present room and board rate of $380 a
semester is insufficient to meet the higher operating costs and financial de-
mands of the University's expanding housing program. An adjustment of ap-
proximately 5 per cent would cover increased construction costs, necessary
renovation of existing facilities, labor, materials, financing, and operating
costs. The recommended annual rate of $800 for the University of Kentucky
would place it in a comparable position with the average room and board
charges of similar institutions.



11




 







12



     Mr. Broadbent made the motion that the semester room and board rates
of the University of Kentucky housing and dining system be adjusted to $400 a
semester effective the fall semester of 1966. Dr. Murray seconded the motion
and it was adopted without dissent.


     H. Statement on Professional Practices Adopted

     Dr. Albright explained that the statement which he was presenting dealing
with professional practices was the result of review with academic deans, the
Provost, and the Vice President--Medical Center. It does not change current
policy significantly but it does simplify the approval and supervision aspects of
the system, namely, that the Board of Trustees is not involved nor is the Presi-
dent, except in a terminal supervisory fashion. Approval authority will rest
with the Provost and Vice President--Medical Center who shall transmit quarter-
ly to the President full information about the results of requests for extramural
activities involving professional practices. The President will, in turn, report
periodically to the Board of Trustees. The following statement was thein pre-
sented:

            STATEMENT ON PROFESSIONAL PRACTICES*

   During their annual employment period (either ten or twelve months),
   faculty and research staff members are expected to serve the Unii-
   versity. It is assumed that all persons on the academic staff will be
   interested primarily in the work of their respective departments,
   giving their chief efforts to the promotion of that work.

   A member of the University's academic staff shall be permitted to
   engage, as an expert, in professional work outside the University
   and to receive pay for his endeavors, provided that such work does
   not interfere with the proper performance of University assignments.
   Each faculty member shall be expected to exercise sound judgment in
   requesting approval of outside assignments, keeping in mind with
   utmost care the matter of conflict of interest. In considering such
   requests, department chairmen and deans will be guided by criteria
   through which performance of duty within a faculty member's rank is
   judged, as well as by the relevant terms of employment.

   In general, any outside assignment demanding more than purely spare-
   time effort must be substantially justified in terms of the contribution
   its performance can bring to the faculty member's pursuit of teaching,
   research, and service.



*This statement does not apply to Medical Center personnel for those practices
involving patient care which are governed by professional service plans,




 





13



  All proposals to undertake outside assignments will be made in writing
  to department chairmen, whose recommendations shall be forwarded
  to the respective deans and thence to either the Provost or the Vice
  President--Medical Center for final action. Such proposals shall in-
  dicate the nature of the work to be performed, the estimated amount of
  time involved, the duration of the assignment, and the scale of re-
  imbursement. These proposals shall become a matter of record by the
  Provost or Vice President--Medical Center who shall transmitquarter-
  ly to the President of the University full information about those that
  have received approval and those that have been denied. The President,
  in turn, will report periodically to the Board of Trustees.

     Dr. Angelucci questioned whether a University faculty member should be
permitted to carry on a profession on the side and, if so permitted, should the
money made in this way be placed in a fund as is done in the Medical Center.
Dr. Albright replied that most institutions with professional schools do permit
outside practice provided that such practice does not interfere with the indi-
vidual's university responsibilities and that the accrediting agencies for such
schools (e. g., Architecture) support the practice.

     On motion by Judge Sutherland, seconded by Dr. Murray, and approved
the Statement on Professional Practices was approved as presented and the
President was authorized to include it as a part of the Governing Regulations,
which are currently being revised.


     I. Amendments to Retirement Resolution (PR 8)

     Mr. Kerley called attention to PR 8, a copy of which is included at the end
of the Minutes, summarizing the proposed amendments as follows: (1) author-
izes the President to permit retirement prior to age 65 in cases of disability
which preclude an employee with a substantial period of service from pursuing
his normal employment; (2) authorizes the President to designate for partici-
pation under the Group I retirement plan additional categories of academic and
administrative personnel without further Board action; (3) restates the schedule
of contributions to the retirement plan for Group I employees provided in
Section IV: (4) provides for employees made eligible for Group I after July 1,
1964 but who were employed prior to that date and who were at least 40 years
old on July 1, 1964 to be assured of a minimum benefit equal to that they would
have enjoyed under the old change-of-work plan or under the Group I plan; (5)
changes the determination of retirement benefits to stipulated percentages of
salary at retirement rather than at age 65; and (6) provides for the application
of the requirement of at least fifteen consecutive years of service to all "Staff
Personnel in Non-Academic Positions" as defined in Personnel Policy and Pro-
cedure Bulletin #4.



On motion by Mr. Broadbent, seconded by Dr. Murray and carried the




 





14



amendments to the Retirement Resolution as shown in PR 8 were approved.
(See PR 8 at the end of the Minutes. )


     J. Change in Retirement Benefits to Those Retired Prior to January 1,
1966 Approved

     Mr. Kerley said that, with the approval by the Board of Trustees of the
amendment to the Retirement Resolution providing for the substitution of
salary at retirement for salary at age 65 for use in computing retirement bene-
fits payable by the University to employees retired on or after January 1, 1966,
in order to provide employees retired prior to January 1, 1966 with retirement
benefits computed on a basis consistent with that for those retired thereafter,
present pensions should be adjusted to account for such salary increases after
age 65 as may have been enjoyed by those presently retired.

     On motion duly made, seconded, and carried, the retirement benefits
payable by the University to employees retired prior to January 1, 1966, with
benefits based upon salary at age 65 were ordered adjusted for periods subse-
quent to December 31, 1965 by multiplying the employee's annual pension rate
in effect for December 1965 by a fraction in which the numerator is his salary
at the date of the retirement and the denominator is his salary at age 65, pro-
vided that in no case shall this adjustment have the effect of reducing an employ-
ee's rate of retirement benefits below that in effect for December 1965.


      K. President Authorized to Acquire Property on Clifton Avenue and Rose
Street

      In order to expand the plant and extend the usefulness of the University in
accordance with the general development plans of the University and amendments
thereto, it is essential that the University acquire certain property known as 314
and 316 Clifton Avenue and 538 Rose Street for the erection of additional
buildings.

      The Board having determined that the said properties are needed for ex-
panding the plant and extending the usefulness of the University in accordance
with the general development plans of the University and amendments thereto, on
motion duly made, seconded, and carried authorized the President of the Uni-
versity to acquire the property known as 314 and 316 Clifton Avenue and 538 Rose
Street either by purchasing the land at its appraised value or by instituting emi-
nent domain proceedings in accordance with the applicable Statutes of the State of
Kentucky.

       L. Proposed Classroom-Office Building Exit Analysis Presented (PR 11)

       Mr. Kerley said that at the November meeting of the Board of Trustees
the plans for the proposed Classroom-Office Building were presented to the
Board. At that Lime a question was raised relative to the time required for a
student to get out of the proposed building from the third floor. PR 11, Exit
Analysis--Classroom Building, a copy of which is included at the end of the
Minutes, was prepared by the architects, Brock, Johnson and Romanowitz. It
shows rather conclusively that there will be no delay in the movement of the
students due to the high concentration of student stations in this single structure.
The estimated time for moving from the third floor out of the building during the
peak use hours is 70 seconds. Even a variance of 100% or 200% should not effect
the 10-minute class change period.

       The members expressed their thanks to Mr. Kerley and the architects for
preparing this comprehensive study and ordered the analysis accepted. (See
PR 11 at the end of the Minutes. )


       M. Group Insurance Program Status Report (PR 12)

       Last summer the University instituted, following approval by the Board,
a vastly improved life insurance program. A year and a half ago a new group
hospitalization program was instituted and since then there has been the major
medical insurance program and the group accident plan. The Group Insurance
Program Status Report which is included at the end of the Minutes was prepared
in order to bring the Board up-to-date on developments in this area. President
Oswald commended the work of the Insurance Committee and Mr. Kerley's office
in bringing these fringe benefits together in a group program which has proved
very beneficial for the faculty and staff. There is broad participation in these
programs as evidenced by the report. Dr. Oswald expressed appreciation to the
Board for making it possible for the University to have such comprehensive
coverage for the faculty and staff. (See PR 12 at the end of the Minutes.)


       N. Progress Report on AID Survey Contract

       Dr. Oswald reminded the Board that at the December 14 meeting of the
Board of Trustees authorization was given to negotiate a survey contract with
AID for three members of the University to visit Thailand for the purpose of de-
termining the desirability of establishing a technical center there. Dean William
A. Seay, Dr. William Jansen, and Dr. Howard Beers were the individuals se-
lected to conduct the survey, leaving January 20 for a 3-week visit. One aspect
which they will explore is the advisability of establishing a research center for
crop development in Thailand, the crops which they have now, the type of person-
nel which will be necessary, and other pertinent information necessary to de-
termine the desirability of establishing such a center. Whether or not the Uni-
versity will be interested in establishing such a contract will depend upon the

report from the team. The report will be prepared before they return to the
campus so that there will be no delay in reaching a decision. The final decision
will, of course, be made by the Board of Trustees in the event the report from
the team is favorable to the establishment of a center for technical assistance in
agriculture and provided, further, that the University of Kentucky is invited by
the Department of State to be the institution to develop the center.
