Strategic plan dubbed‘ Vision for the future’

 

By Brian Bennett
Senior Staff Writer

A new strategic plan UK adminis-
trators call the school's “vision for
the future" was approved yesterday
by the Board of 'I'rustees.

The plan sets the University's
goals and direction for the next five
years. Arnoug its aims are to main-
tain faculty and staff salaries. raise
acadetnic standards for incoming
freshman arid to increase funding.

“In five years, we ought to have a
University that is even better than
the one we have today," UK Presi-
dent (‘harles Wethington said.

The plan, presented to the board
by Wethington, outlined four over~
all goals for IIK: to strengthen its
commitment to academic excel‘
lence: to continue exerting a “a
leadership role“ in state. national
and global affairs: to step up the de-
velopment of its humzut, fiscal and
physical resources; zutd to focus
more on a "()ne lirtivcrsityV'concept
between the cornrnunily colleges
and the University System.

In addition, Wethington also pre~
sented 37 specific aims to be at-
tained in five years. Those include
increasing the undergraduate gradu-
ation rate by 6 percent, increasing
the number of full-time faculty

teaching lower-division courses by
50 percent and increasing the num-
ber of community college students
transferring to UK and other public
universities

The plan also calls for raising the
average A("l‘ score for incoming
freshmen to 25. The current average
is a little more than 24. Wethington
said.

Another of the plzut‘s goals is to
“achieve a level of state funding at
least equal to the average of corn-
pzuablc institutions."

Policy provides workload guidelines

 

By Brian Bennett
Senior Staff Writer

 

For the first time. UK has a
written policy regarding how
teachers use their hours on the
job after the Board of Trustees
approved a faculty workload
guideline yesterday.

According to the new policy.
faculty members who only teach
will be expected to instruct 12

credit hours a semester. Faculty
who do research or service only
will be expected to work the equiv-
alent time of teaching 12 credit
hours.

Individual department heads will
decide how faculty members (made

$26 million since fall l99l and re-
cently told University officials to
hold back spending in anticipation
of another possible 2 percent cut,

Wethington said declining state
funding will hamper meeting the
objectives of the plan.

“Unfortunately. that‘s the way
the trend has been going." he said.
“Our goal is to increase the percent-
age (of the University budget) com-
ing from state funds. Clearly. the
plan holds out optimism for suffi-
cient funding.“

But the plan will also let UK be
more self-supporting. as it also
calls for increasing other sources of
funding such as private donations.
Wethington said.

“It shows we plan to take control
of our own destiny.“ he said. “We
cenainly hope to be able to accom-
plish everything we can and to be
able to exceed the goals we set for
ourselves. We don‘t go into it
thinking we can't meet some of our
goals."

The strategic plan was produced
by a committee appointed by Wetti-
ington in July. consisting of 21 fa-
culty. staff and students. Wething-
ton‘s first strategic plan was
approved by the board in Septem-
ber I991.

Wethington told the trustees yes-
terday that he plans to give the
board an annual progress report on
the plan‘s objectives.

Wethington said the plan tackles
many of the problems surrounding
higher education. including the
ones mentioned by former trustee
and Gov. Wallace Wilkinson.

"Not only am I concemed about
present board members. I am also
concerned about what former board
members think about this Universi-
tv." Wethington said.

The policy states that research
output can be measured by “quality

ccived."

Raitz called the policy statement
“a real good document" and said it

‘UK Bridges’ program
receives $250,000 grant

 

By Kathy W. Larkln
Contributing Writer

 

UK received a $250,000 federal
grant from the National Institutes
of Health to help minority students
make a smooth transition from two-
year to four-year degree programs
in biology and biomedical science.

The grant will be used to fund
“UK Bridges," a program devoted
to the recruitment of minority stu-
dents who are interested in transfer-
ring from one of UK‘s l4 commu-
nity colleges to the Lexington or
Medical Center campuses.

“We believe this initiative will
reduce the failure rate of transition-
al students because it will better
prepare them," said Donald Frazier,
professor of physiology and bio-
physics at the College of Medicine.
who will direct the grant.

The program is a joint project of
the Lexington and Medical Center
campuses, the UK community col-
lege system and the Office of Spon-
sored Program Development. It
will help students who have de-
clared an interest in pre-
baccalaureate programs in allied
health or associate degrees in ap-
plied science programs.

A support network, campus vis-
its, academic advising. career coun-
seling and employment opportuni-
ties also will be available to
participating students.

According to the Office of Mi-
nority Affairs, 667 students trans-
ferred from state community col-
leges to UK's Lexington or
Medical Center campuses in 1991.
Of this group, 9 percent were mi-

nority students. and 20 percent of
those students indicated an interest
in continuing educations in biologi-
cal or biomedical related fields.

Frazier said these numbers reflect
a national disparity between total
enrollment and the number of mi-
nority students who actually com-
plete a bachelor's degree program
in the biological or biomedical sci-
ences.

He also suggested that minority
community college and university
faculty should be consulted more
frequently to show students the
range of opportunities available in
four-year programs in these areas.

“These are an untapped resource
we need to apply to attract students
to science and health," Frazier said.

The UK Bridges program is an
outgrowth of several efforts the
University has initiated to cncour~
age interest in the fields of health
and science. Other programs in-
clude the “Come and See Program.“
which encourages area high school
students to visit. and a national sci-
ence hot-line number 0—800-955-
9500).

The grant will be used to expose
as many interested students as pos—
sible to a university education and
also to “take away the newness of
university studies and increase the

students‘ comfort level,“ Frazier
said.
Anyone interested in learning

more about UK Bridges or wanting
to apply for assistance should con-
tact their community college ad-
ministrators.

On the average, men in the origi-

healthy first and then have good
character. Brock noted that child-
bearing ability had greater signifi-

cance at the time. Meanwhile. the
female participants placed an aver-
age ranking of seven on the desire
for children. That ranking did not
change in 1993

The results also indicate that re-
ligion has become more important.
while the importance of social posi-
tion has decreased. Brock said the
declining social symbolism of relig-
ion in society is possibly relevant to
the results of his survey.

Oh no, you say.

The Cats fell to No. 5 this week,
you say.

Well, I say there's ito rteed to
worry.

lIow cart I say this less thart a
week after a close (and unlucky)
loss to ’l‘ennessee and a (have you
caught your breath yet?) tight win
over Aubum on Senior Night‘.’

As UK coach Rick l’itino has
said mzuiy times before, how can
you argue with tlte (Tats' record?

“We're very satisfied because we
are 21-3,“ he said.

So, don‘t worry. 'llte Wildcats
have only lost on the road, and to
teams that you wouldn't be called
insane for mentioning as possible
N(‘AA 'l‘ouritzunent tezuns.

Take a look at the Wildcats' loss-
es:

oVariderbr'lt: liveryone knows the
(‘ats were No. l for a few hours be-
fore this loss, whiclt shouldn't have
come as any surprise. The (‘omrno-
dores now have won five ot‘ the last
six confrontations with the Wildcats
at Memorial (iyrit. which, by the
way, is a possible site for UK iii the
NCAA 'l‘ournarnent, regardless of
whether l’itino likes the benches or
rtot.

oArkurrsur: Barrtltill Arena has
lortg been orte ot‘ the toughest plac-
es to play iii the nation, and tltis
year has been rto exception. Nolan
Richardson and compzuty were
ready for UK‘s press, ready to cov-
er the three-point sltot arid basically
ready to win tltis game. The (‘ats

just weren't quite tip to the task.

Not to nterttiort, Barnhrll was louder
than Rtrpp Arena Saturday when
the crowd gave .lrurtal Mashbunt a

standing ovation.

“(enriersea‘ The only Sli(‘ road
series iit which the Wildcats don‘t
hold art advarttage, this shouldn‘t be
a shocker either, despite its ending
'l‘he Vols always have played UK,
for the obvious reason of the border
rivalry. 'l'hompson»Boling Arerta,
capacity ot~ more than 25.000. had a
partiszut crowd, but when it count-
ed, the Big Orange t'aitht'ul were all
you could ltear.

When you look at these games,
think back to your high scltool
days, when a top—rzutked team
comes to towrt. You artd your
schoolmates know your team ltas a
chance, but not a good one. Still, a
large crowd provides the emotion
tor the home team, arid your team
goes on to the seemingly impossi-
ble victory. l)on‘t count these last
two wins before the bur/er sounds
either. Ole Miss maybe, btit irt l-‘lor-
ida, nothing is for sure.

'lhcsc games were (and are) won
mainly on emotion, something this
edition ot‘ the Wildcats has begun to
show. UK’s team last year being iii
the final eigltt‘.’ Bringing l)uke to
the brink til you know what‘.’

On paper: Impossible.

Reality: lirnotiort carried the (‘ats
to that level. It made the tIliiL‘l‘CllL‘C.

UK. now ranked tit’th tit tlte ria-
tiort, will win the Southeastern ( ‘ori-
t'er'ence 'I‘ourtiaritertt. that shouldn‘t

tributed evenly —— at the beginning
of the tournament. Big Blue fans
will be quick to snatch up tickets
from fans of losirtg schools.

It the (‘ats win the SEC 'I‘ouma-
tnent, that should be enough to se-
cure a No. l seed for the Big
Dance. But then agairt, does a No. 1
seed really matter much‘.’ In the
worst possible scenario, a No. 2
seed is all btit guaranteed.

llow nuuty times czut you remem-
ber a No. 1 seed being knocked off
in the tountzuneut'.’ Last year it was
Kansas by U'llil’. Indiana beat
U(‘l.A. Michigan defeated Ohio
State last year. You know who the
other one was.

the fact is tetuns shoot for the
No. l seed. They are expected to
wirt their region. Arid when you are
talking about playing every game
just so you cart play zutother. that‘s
emotion, not talent.

learns that cart combine talent
w itlt emotion are the squads that be-
come champions. lrtdiarta, Duke,
Kansas and Michigan have dorte it
recently. UK cart join them, espe-
cially considering the circumstzutc-
es, which are irt some ways muclt
like last year's.

l’itino said he always has made
the main point of the season the
Nt‘AA 'l‘ottrntunent.

“To me that is what its all about.
last year when we looked back on
the season. we didn‘t really look
back arid say “we were (SEC) 'l'our-
nantent cltainpions,‘ " he said. “We
looked back and said ‘we were iii
the lilile liight.' "

lltis tearit ltas all the ingredients
to go all the way.

-.\'r'iirors: Yes. Dale Brown. Jun-

ior Braddy arid 'l‘odd Svoboda want
to win it all. Brown arid Braddy.
you say, have a lot more control
over this than Svoboda does. In
physically playirtg, this is true.
liritotionally, not so.

Who do you constantly see
cheering on the UK bertch‘.’ Svobo—
da. Who stands up and sits down
during a game more than Pitino
checks his tie‘.’ Svoboda.

OAII-Amerreurr: Jamal Mashburn.
Don‘t worry, he cart keep the dollar
signs out of his eyes long enough to
turn in another big tournament rem-
irtiscertt (it. last year's.

'Emoriurml Spark plug: 'l‘ravis
Ford. It scents titling that Ford, at
only 5-l‘oot-9. would end up to be
the terun's leader at the end of the
season. In rallying UK at Tennes-
see, art onlooker could see Ford
ranting and ravirtg, shouting eit-
couragentent and slapping the back—
sides of teammates in an attempt to
start the Big Blue Machine. Ile did
get it rolling, only to have a rock
thrown in the gears by U'I"s Corey
Allen.

Still, seeing this emotion remind-
ed rne ot' a jubilant John Pelphrey
in last season's toumament games.
If this keeps up. UK could take a
trip to New Orleans.

’Corrching: Whether you like the
mm, the fact remains that he wins
conte toumament time. Why is
that? Ask the coach.

“lit the NCAA Toumzunent. I
think the most important thirtg is
the mental approach ot‘ beirtg fo-
cused arid also that their sett-
esteern is very high." l’itirto said.
