President's Report to the Board of Trustees (PR 1) President Wethington called attention to the following items in PR 1: 1. UK's 14 community colleges topped the $25 million mark in their Partners in Progress campaign. 2. A team of UK scientists has received a $1.7 million grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse to study the effectiveness of television anti-drug messages aimed at teenagers. 3. The UK Disabilities Services Office is conducting a series of programs in October to celebrate 25 years of offering services to UK students, faculty and staff who have disabilities. 4. Ten Kazakhstan government officials are participating in a three- week training program at UK to learn American business and government practices. 5. The third "Women Mean Business" conference conducted by the Kentucky Small Business Development Center attracted 220 participants on September 14th and 15th. 6. The UK College of Medicine has teamed up with the University of Louisville's School of Medicine to bring a national public education campaign, Research!America, to Kentucky. NASA astronaut Story Musgrave and Nobel Laureate Phillip Sharp, both UK alumni, are the campaign's honorary chairs. President Wethington asked the members to read the other items in the report at their leisure. As a part of PR 1, he said he had decided to focus some attention on undergraduate initiatives in the University. He reminded the Board of the indicators in the Strategic Plan that have flagged the importance of undergraduate instruction, especially at the freshman and sophomore levels. He asked Chancellor Zinser and Professor Lou Swift to address the Board on the initiatives underway at the University that focus on a very important aspect of the mission, the teaching function. Chancellor Zinser said that they were thrilled to have the opportunity to provide an overview on some of the developments and interventions that have been developed at the University to achieve the goals and strategic indicators that the Board has set as a part of the University's plan for its future development. She said that it is very telling when you go through those strategic indicators to find ten of the 37 directly related to improvements and expectations in undergraduate education at the University of Kentucky. All of them influence the future of undergraduate education because that is the -3- principal business of the University, along with the graduate mission, the research activities and the public service mission. She said that some of the indicators are directly related to undergraduate education and briefly cited them. Increasing the amount of merit scholarship support to $4.OM - This has been achieved, but the bar needs to be raised. There are a number of prospective students that meet the qualifications for merit scholarships. More students could be recruited of that caliber with additional dollars. Increasing the percentage of sections in lower division courses taught by full-time faculty to 50% - That percentage has been attained. Increasing the first to second year retention rate to 82% for the full- time, first time freshmen at the University who are seeking degrees at the University of Kentucky - The University has moved from 76.2% in 1992 to 78.9% last year. Increasing the graduation rate to 55% for the first time degree seeking full-time students who graduate at least within 6 years from the University - The 1993 cohort of students are being tracked in order to measure this progress. Increasing the number of students transferring from the Community College System - This goal was achieved last year with 760 students transferring. A related goal is insuring that the graduation rate of Community College System transfers is at least equal to the graduation rate of students starting in the University System. Establishing a central advising and transfer office to serve all undeclared majors as well as other students who are in need of academic advisement - This office has been established. Increasing the percentage of resident African-American undergraduate students in the University System to 6.2% - The percentage has increased from 3.9% in 1991 to a preliminary figure of 5.5% for the fall of 1995. The percentage of the baccalaureate degrees awarded to African-American students increased from 2.6% in 1991 to 3.6% in the spring of 1995. Increasing the percentage of African-American faculty to 3% in the University System - African-American faculty increased within the ranks. The goal of 3% was achieved in 1993-94 with 3.2% of the faculty being African-American faculty members. This percentage was up from 2.1% in 1991-92. -4- In conclusion, Chancellor Zinser said that she would be remiss not to mention among the ten indicators the completion of the new Library which is one of the strategic indicators. It is in no small measure the central theme of improving instruction for undergraduate students as well as for all of the other work going on at the University. She introduced Professor Lou Swift, Dean of Undergraduate Studies on the Lexington Campus. She briefly reviewed Professor Swift's credentials and noted that under his leadership as Dean of Undergraduate Studies he has helped to develop the Teaching and Learning Center, established in 1990, and the Central Advising and Transfer Center, set up in 1993. Professor Swift received a national endowment for the humanities grant in 1991 to organize a coordinated approach to University studies in the Community College System. She said that Professor Swift is an agent of change and progress as the University achieves its goal for scholarship and academic excellence as well as in promoting the University of Kentucky as "one University" with the University System and the Community College System working in a united fashion to improve the academic community for all of its participants. Professor Swift expressed pleasure in being allowed the opportunity to talk to the Board about a number of initiatives on campus over the past four or five years which have changed the academic environment for undergraduate instruction, teaching and learning. He said that he was very pleased with the diversity of the operations. There are a lot of things happening across campus in a lot of colleges and units to make the learning environment for undergraduates one in which everyone can be proud. Through a series of slides he reviewed some of the significant things happening in the undergraduate area and provided a few vignettes about the experiences that students are having. Professor Swift said that over the past three to four years President Wethington has approved the hiring of special title individuals whose specific responsibility is teaching. He noted that they may be doing some research in their area, but they are heavily into the teaching process and become models for colleagues in their own departments. These are individuals who have a lot of experience. They have proved to be very good additions to various departments. He said that it is fair to say that at this institution, as at many institutions of higher education research oriented institutions like the University of Kentucky, the attitude about teaching, the emphasis on teaching, and the seriousness with which we are trying new methods to do better instruction is very much present and really has changed. He said that it is a tribute to the faculty, to the administrators, and to the President that the University has moved in this direction and in the years to come will go further along in these lines. -5- President Wethington thanked Chancellor Zinser and Professor Swift. He said that he thought it would be good for the Board to be informed when they have questions raised about the emphasis this institution is placing on instruction, especially at the undergraduate level. Everyone knows that the community colleges have, since their beginning, focused their attention in large measure on providing excellent undergraduate instruction. Often times, the Lexington Campus does not get recognized for that which it really is doing and doing very, very well. The focus is on bringing better students to the Lexington Campus as freshmen and as transfers from the community colleges, and first-rate undergraduate instruction must be provided for them. He said that the things that Professor Swift outlined are making a major difference in delivering excellent instruction to students at the University. E. Personnel Actions (PR 2) President Wethington recommended that approval be given to the 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. Mr. Shoop moved approval. His motion, seconded by Mrs. Weinberg, carried. (See PR 2 at the end of the Minutes.) F. Associate Degree Program in the Community College System - Owensboro Community College (PR 4A) President Wethington said that PR 4A is a recommendation for an Associate Degree Program in the Community College System. He asked Chancellor Carr to comment on the recommendation. Chancellor Carr reported that Owensboro Community College has been offering law enforcement courses to meet the local need of law enforcement and correctional and security firms. An advisory committee was appointed to help the college select the courses that would be offered each semester. The advisory committee, the advisory board, the faculty and the president of the college have all recommended this particular degree program for the area because of the student demand. He said that the College looks forward to serving the law enforcement needs in the Owensboro area. President Wethington recommended that the Board authorize for submission to the Council on Higher Education a new degree program, Associate Degree in Applied Science, Law Enforcement Technology, for the Owensboro Community College. Mr. Welenken moved approval. His motion was seconded by Professor Miller and passed. (See PR 4A at the end of the Minutes.) -6- G. Change in Division Name - Ashland Community College (PR President Wethington recommended that the English, Fine Arts, Humanities and Related Technologies Division at Ashland Community College be renamed the Humanities Division. Professor Miller moved approval. Mr. Shoop seconded the motion and it carried. (See PR 4B at the end of the Minutes.) H. Governor Breathitt's Remarks Governor Breathitt said that he deeply appreciates the initiatives that are being taken by Chancellor Zinser, Dean Swift, the President and the administration, particularly on the efforts in recruiting African-Americans and in programs for African-Americans. He said that the University has made great progress but there is much more progress to be made. He extended his deep appreciation to the administration, the Chancellor, the President, and the Board which supports the administration. He said that he was proud of the University for taking the lead in meeting the needs of society. 1.

Resolution Recognizing the Community College System Professor Miller read the following resolution from the Community College System: Whereas, the Community College System is beginning its fourth decade of service to the people of the Commonwealth, and Whereas, the Community College System has been a part of the University of Kentucky since 1962 and has grown and developed as part of the statewide mission of the University, and Whereas, the 14 UK community colleges are located throughout the state with more than 100 extended sites, centers and campuses, and Whereas, the UK Community College System has been given the three-fold mission of serving the citizens of the Commonwealth with opportunities to complete the first two years of a baccalaureate degree program, a technical associate degree program, or participate in life- long learning opportunities, and Whereas, the people of Kentucky have responded to the offerings of the UK Community College System in numbers totaling more than -10- 44,000 students enrolled in Fall 1995, and more than 400,000 people annually participating in life-long learning opportunities, and Whereas, the UK Community College System serves more than one- third of all undergraduate students in public higher education in Kentucky with a 91 percent increase in enrollment during the last decade, and Whereas, many Kentucky leaders have agreed to participate in the 1995 Futures Commission to assess the system's progress and to provide guidance for the future, Now therefore be it resolved, that the Board of Trustees of the University of Kentucky does hereby reaffirm its commitment to the Community College System as an integral part of the University of Kentucky and expresses its heartfelt appreciation to all members of the UK Community College family for a job well-done, and challenges the Futures Commission to assist and advise the Community College System to help insure a strong, responsive and excellent institution that provides open access to higher education to all Kentuckians in the 21st Century. On motion made by Professor Miller, seconded by Professor Mather and carried, the Resolution was approved.
