President DicKey stated that prior to the April meeting of the Univenﬂhﬁ
Faculty, the written proposal of the second year program of the College of
Medicine was circulated to its members. Subsequently, by letter, one of f
the proposed courses, Conjoint 221, Fundamentals of Infectious Diseases,
was questioned by the Department of Microbiology on grounds of "exact ‘
duplication" of offerings in that department. Similarly, Conjoint 222, i
Parasitic Diseases of Man, was questioned by the Department of Zoology. ,
In the April Faculty meeting, after a motion and its second to approve the I
second—year program as proposed by the College of Medicine, the question f
of duplication by these two courses was orally raised again and action on
the second year curriculum was postponed.

In accordance with specified procedures, President Dickey stated that
he appointed a committee whose mandate was to examine the matter of dupli-
cation and report the findings of the examination; that the Committee had
submitted its report and fulfilled its mandate and that, on the basis of
the report and also upon the further labors of the Committee to resolve
a more basic problem,.he accepted readily both the privilege and the
obligation to make a recommendation to the Faculty. HoweVer, in recogniahm
the more basic problem, he first wished to make some prefacing comments.

He stated

that ”In functions, programs, activities, concepts, and

any particular part. This is one essential to make of diversity a univer- ,
sity. It requires COOperation among units—=a willingness and an ability

to plan and work and use in many instances the resourses available across

the boundary lines of arbitrary jurisdiction.

The University of Kentucky does not enjoy the luxury of unlimited
resources, as we all know so well, this condition can hardly be improved
by examples of inability to utilize wisely what we have. And to use wisely
what we have will surely call for an interchange, and interrelating, and ,
focusing of resources and competencies where needed regardless of f.o.b. (
or point of origin. Again, cooperation of a two or tenway variety seems 2
reasonable. Unity of parts is necessary.

The Committee in willingly accepting the limited mandate to study Iii;

duplication pertaining to these two courses in question did recognize that ;5

I This Committee, which you appointed following the April

: meeting of the University Faculty, interpreted its mandate to be

( that of determining duplication of present offerings in Microbiology
( and Zoology by the proposed Conjoint 221 and Conjoint 222 medical

I courses.

The Committee found that:

3. When any new personnel for these courses are sought, the partici-

and when employed, conjoint listing is to occur.

The University Faculty voted approval of the President's recommenda-
tions. Then, upon motion and second, the Second Year Curriculum of the
College of Medicine was approved as amended.

Dr. G. W. Schneider, Head of the Department of Agricultural Extension,
presented a report from the Program Committee on the Eastern Kentucky
Resources Development Program.

He stated that while the University had made a contribution to the
eastern Kentucky area through its academic training of people who had
returned to that section, its research substation at Jackson, agricultural
extension workers, county agents, Extended Programs, Bureau of School
Service, and others, it had not been enough. Upon determination that a
much broader base of activities should be established to encompass that
area's total resources development, a request for a grant from the Kellogg
Foundation was made and approved in the amount of approximately $750,000
over a seven-year period and that 50 counties were involved in the Resoumms
Development Program.

He said that the state and its governmental agencies, through the
University, would work with private and other interested groups in carrying
out a greater program of resources development; that upon approval of the
Kellogg grant a University—wide Committee was appointed to deVelop general
guide lines for the operation of the Project; that at the present time
roughly one-half of the Committee is made up of workers in the areas of
Sociology and Economics, and the remainder of Agriculture; that positions
have been filled in the fields of Industrial Location and Development;
Adult and Career Guidance, and Job Placement; Youth Development; Community
Improvement and Planning; Marketing, Management, and Transportation; Forest
Management and Utilization; Poultry Production; Soil, Water, and Cooperatiﬂ
Management; Contacts and Public Information Activities; plus others, and
that the program is not a fixed one but flexible.

He stated that it has functioned mainly in the area of planning,
coordination, personnel recruitment; that a small subcommittee has been
appointed and has been working with the regular committee in determining
policy and ideas. Dr. Schneider stressed that the Committee was interested
in getting every segment of the University which can make a contribution,
interested in the program, and he strongly urged participation and exchange
of ideas between the Faculty and the Committee.
