C. Meeting Dates Established Mr. Sturgill called attention to the schedule of meetings of the Board of Trustees and Executive Committee as established for fiscal year 1978-79 (see copy at end of the Minutes), and requested the members to mark their calendars accordingly. D. President's Report to the Trustees (PR 1) President Singletary indicated that he would not discuss the items in his monthly report and suggested the members might wish to read through it at a later time. Mr. Sturgill accepted the report and ordered it filed. -2- E. Recommendations of the President (PR 2) President Singletary noted the items in PR 2 were routine in nature and recommended its approval.

(See PR 2 at the end of the Minutes.) F. Supplemental Recommendations of the President (PR 3) President Singletary explained that item one in PR 3 requested authority for the President to establish Alumni Professorships as resources become available from the Alumni Annual Giving Fund. He continued that he was specifically requesting one new professorship for this year and hoped that the funds in future years would be sufficient to enable him to add others from time to time. Item II in PR 3 covering gift and/or grants for the quarter ending March 31, 1978, was a routine report and President Singletary recommended both parts of PR 3 be approved. On motion by Professor Sears, seconded by Mr. Homer Ramsey and passed, PR 3, Supplemental Recommendations of the President, was approved as a whole and ordered made an official part of the Minutes of the meeting. (See PR 3 at the end of the Minutes.) G. Candidates for Degrees--University System (PR 4) Without discussion, on motion by Governor Chandler, seconded by Mr. Frank Ramsey and passed, the President was authorized to confer upon each individual whose name appeared on the list presented as a part of PR 4, the degree to which he or she is entitled upon certification by the Dean of Admissions and Registrar that the individual has satisfactorily completed all requirements for the degree for which application has been made and as approved by the University Senate. (See PR 4 at the end of the Minutes.) H. Candidates for Degrees--Community College System (PR 5) Without discussion, Mr. Homer Ramsey moved that the degrees and certificates specified in PR 5 be awarded the persons named upon certification that the requirements for those degrees and/or certificates have been satisfactorily completed. His motion was seconded by Mr. Griffin and passed without dissent. (See PR 5 at the end of the Minutes.) I. Budget Revisions-for 1977-78 (PR 6) President Singletary indicated that Mr. Edward Carter was present and would be glad to answer any questions. There being none, on motion by Mr. Clay, seconded by Governor Chandler and passed, the revisions in the 1977-78 Budget as recommended in PR 6 were authorized and approved. (See PR 6 at the end of the Minutes.) -3- J. Transfer of Division of Auxiliary Personnel within the College of Dentistry(R7 President Singletary explained that the recommendation in PR 7 was primarily an administrative matter involving the transfer of a division within the College of Dentistry and recommended approval. On motion by Mr. Kessinger, seconded by Mr. Newberry and passed, the transfer of the Division of Auxiliary Personnel, Department of Restorative Dentistry, to the Department of Community Dentistry, was approved. (See PR 7 at the end of the Minutes.) K. Operating Budget for 1978-79 (PR 8) In opening his budget presentation, President Singletary reminded the Board that in presenting the 1978-80 Biennial Budget Request he had noted that it was to be one of the most critical in the history of the University. He continued that he was pleased to report that the response to the University's request, while not providing funds to solve all of the problems, does permit the institution to make significant improvements. The Council on Higher Education, the Governor, and the General Assembly deserve thanks for their very positive response to the University's request. The primary objective in the 1978-80 Budget Request was to restore the relative salary and staff levels which the State provided in 1968-69. While this budget does not totally meet that objective, it does make very significant progress. A major objective in the 1978-80 Biennial Budget Request was to bring faculty salaries near the middle of those paid in like institutions in surrounding states. While this budget does not provide enough funds to bring the average faculty salary to the benchmark median, it does provide sufficient funding to reduce the 1977-78 deficit from $1,405 to $349 per faculty position for the Lexington campus and from $1,244 to $615 in the Community College System. Approximately two-thirds of the request for faculty salary catch-up was funded by the State. The salary objective for county agents and extension specialists in the 1978-80 Request was to reach the 1976-77 national average. Funds were provided in the State Appropriation to deal with this objective, but not in amounts adequate to reach the higher 1977-78 national average. Funding does, however, provide for a reduction in the 1977-78 deficit from $2,348 to $354. Also requested in 1978-80 were funds to make non-academic salaries more competitive in the local labor market. Funds were provided to move toward this objective in each year of the coming biennium. The funds provided in 1978-79 have been applied in this budget to those categories of employees which were most out of line with the local labor market. Additional adjustments will be made in 1979-80 from funds available in that year. In addition to the salary catch-up adjustments for many of these employees, the University is also reducing the official work week from 40 to 37 2 hours for classified hourly employees with no reduction in annual pay. The other area of major concern dealt with faculty positions. The General Assembly provided additional State Appropriation for new faculty positions in the -4- Community College System, the Division of Colleges, and the College of Medicine. While only half of the request was funded, the additional positions will help to deal with accreditation and workload problems in several of the areas which were of greatest concern. Also provided in the budget are funds for the continuation of existing programs. These funds come in the form of salary increases over and above the adjustments already mentioned and increases in operating expenses, including ever-growing utility costs. The continuation dollars in salaries and wages provide for an average salary increase of 5% to all regular full-time employees of the institution. In addition, funds to cover the maintenance and operations costs of new facilities are provided. Program expansion was a relatively small part of the total request in the 1978-80 Biennial Budget Request but the General Assembly did provide for some program expansion and that is reflected in the budget. There also is some expansion in instruction, research, and public service programs which will be wholly suported by revenue generated from the respective activities. In concluding his remarks, President Singletary called attention to the section of the budget document labeled "Summaries". In this section total estimated income and funds available is shown as well as expenditures by function. He assured the Board that the two balanced and recommended approval of the OperatmngBudget for 1978-79 as presented. Mr. Sturgill, noting that a budget is the heartbeat of a business or an institution, commended the budget team (Mr. Edward Carter, Ms. Karen Combs, and Mr. Carson Smith) for the excellent job they had done in the preparation of the budget. He also expressed appreciation to the Council on Higher Education and the Governor for their understanding of the University's problems and their efforts to help alleviate them. Professor Sears indicated that the reaction on campus from both academic and non-academic personnel was most favorable relative to salary increments and that everyone was appreciative of the effort made by the President and the Board of Trustees on their behalf. There being no further comments, Mr. Sturgill called for a motion. Mr. James Newberry moved that the recommendation in PR 8 relative to adoption of the Operating Budget for 1978-79 be approved. His motion was seconded by Mr. Homer Ramsey and the 1978-79 Operating Budget was adopted with all present voting aye. (See PR 8 at the end of the Minutes.) L. Supplementary State Appropriation for Previously Retired Employees (PR 9) President Singletary said that the University had received a supplementary state appropriation of $263,100 for the purpose of increasing retirement benefits for certain previously retired employees who have been adversely affected by the rate of inflation since their retirement. Specific action is required by the Board since these supplements will make the salaries of the retirees exceed those authorized in the regular University retirement plan. The President recommended approval. Governor Chandler moved that the recommendation in PR 9 be approved. His motion was seconded by Mr. Gorman and passed without dissent. (See PR 9 at the end of the Minutes.) M. Interim Financial Report (FCR 1) Mr. Clay, Chairman of the Finance Committee, reported that the committee had met prior to the Board meeting and had considered the agenda items to be presented for action. The Interim Financial Report had been examined and was "on target". Mr. Clay then moved that the Financial Report for the nine month period ending March 31, 1978, be accepted. His motion was seconded by Mr. Black and passed without dissent. (See FCR 1 at the end of the Minutes.) N. Land Reserved for KET Expansion (FCR 2) Mr. Clay said that the Finance Committee had considered the request from the Kentucky Educational Television that approximately 3.8 acres of land adjacent to the south and east of the existing Kentucky Educational Television Facility be reserved and dedicated by the Board of Trustees to accommodate future growth and expansion of KET's network center. The Committee felt that it was a reasonable request and recommended that it be granted. The site plan which was displayed for the Board by Mr. Blanton showed the area involved. Mr. Clay moved that the area of land shown on the site plan of the KET facility on Cooper Drive be reserved and dedicated by the Board of Trustees to accommodate future growth and expansion of KET's network center. His motion was seconded by Professor Adelstein and passed without dissent. (See FCR 2 at the end of the Minutes.) 0. Licenses for the Performance of Copyrighted Music (FCR 3) Mr. Clay said that the passage of the Copyright Revision Act of 1976 had removed the blanket exemption status which the University previously had pursuant to the "not for profit" performance of non-dramatic musical compositions. Thus, the University will be responsible for royalty payments to the copyright owners for music compositions performed or transmitted on premises owned or leased by the University. The basic "blanket" license fees will be paid from General Fund monies and any additional concert license fees will be paid from revenues generated from the concert involved. The Finance Committee recommended, and Mr. Clay so moved, that the Board of Trustees authorize the Vice President for Business Affairs and Treasurer to enter into license agreements with the various performing rights societies for the right to publicly perform and transmit non-dramatic musical compositions. His motion was seconded by Professor Sears. In the discussion that followed it was suggested that the authorization should be limited to a period of one year. Mr. Clay agreed to amend his motion to that effect. Professor Sears concurred and the amended motion was passed without dissent. (See FCR 3 at the end of the Minutes.) -5- -6- P. Confirmation of Non-Resident Fees/Establishing Activity Fee (FCR 4) Mr. Clay explained that the Finance Committee regretted the necessity of presenting a recommendation to increase fees, but felt there was no other alternative available. Since the recommendation in FCR 4 was in three parts, Mr. Clay suggested that the parts be acted upon separately. The first recommendation related to increases in the fees for non- resident students as established by the Council on Higher Education in April, 1978, which required confirmation by the Board of Trustees. Mr. Clay moved that the Board of Trustees confirm the changes in the fee schedule for non- resident students for semester/annual sessions at the University of Kentucky as established by the Council on Higher Education on April 12, 1978. His motion was seconded by Mr. Gorman. In the discussion that followed, Professor Adelstein indicated his intent to cast a symbolic vote of "nay" explaining that the University Senate had adopted a resolution opposing such an increase in non-resident fees, that he personally felt out-of-state students made a very definite contribution to the University, that the children of University alumni living outside Kentucky deserved some consideration, and that the out-of-state dollars which these students and their families bring into the community is good for the economy. In answer to a question by Mr. Palmer, President Singletary said that the University was approximately $400 below the fee median of the benchmark institutions and explained that the Council on Higher Education acts on these fees under Kentucky law, considering, among other things, what Kentucky students are paying in other states. There being no other discussion, Mr. Sturgill called for the vote on Mr. Clay's motion which passed with Professor Adelstein casting the only nay vote. (See FCR 4(1) at the end of the Minutes.) The second part of the recommendation in FCR 4 related to a proposed increase in the student activity fee of $6 per semester over a two year period. After noting that the fee had not been increased since 1950, Mr. Clay moved that the Board of Trustees increase the Student Activity Fee by $6 per semester over a two-year period by establishing a semester fee of $9.25 effective in the fall of 1978 and $12.25 effective in the fall of 1979. The motion was seconded by Mr. Homer Ramsey. At this point, President Singletary explained that on July 1, 1978, the University of Kentucky must bring the Women's Athletics Program into compliance with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. Funds had been requested for this purpose in the Biennial Budget Request but had not been granted. The Athletics Association will make the largest contribution and the University will provide from General Funds approximately one-third of the cost involved. The only other source of income available is from the Student Activity Fee. There being no further discussion, Mr. Sturgill called for a vote on Mr. Clay's motion which passed with no dissenting votes. (See FCR 4(2) at the end of the Minutes.) The third part of FCR 4 recommended that the Board of Trustees establish corresponding part-time and summer school charges under the guide- lines of the Council on Higher Education and Mr. Clay so moved. His motion was seconded by Mr. Palmer and passed without dissent. (See FCR 4(3) at the end of the Minutes.) -7- Q. Report of Investments (ICR 1) Mr. Griffin, Chairman of the Investment Committee, moved that the changes made in investments for the University of Kentucky and its Affiliated Corporations for the quarter ending March 31, 1978, be accepted. His motion was seconded by Mr. Gorman and passed without dissent. (See ICR 1 at the end of the Minutes.) R. Hearing Committee Report on Arnold Appeal Mr. Black said that the Hearing Committee of the Board of Trustees had convened at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday morning, May 9, 1978, in the Board Room in the Administration Building on the University campus. It heard testimony from Mr. Danny L. Arnold, Dr. Harriet Rose, and Mrs. Sharon Arnold. During the course of Dr. Rose's testimony, Mr. Arnold left the meeting stating that he did not wish to proceed. The Committee regrets that Mr. Arnold did not request and was not informed of the opportunity of a hearing in connection with his discharge. However, the Committee of the Board did provide such a hearing this morning, which was terminated by Mr. Arnold's withdrawal from the meeting. Consequently, the Committee recommends that the Board of Trustees approve the University's decision to discharge Mr. Arnold. Further the Committee recommends that the Board not afford Mr. Arnold a further hearing before the full Board. Following the completion of his report, Mr. Black moved that the report be accepted and that the recommendation that the Board not afford Mr. Arnold a further hearing before the full Board be approved. Mr. Homer Ramsey seconded Mr. Black's motion. Governor Chandler expressed his feelings that the door should not be closed.When the vote was taken on Mr. Black's motion Governor Chandler cast the only dissenting vote. Mr. Black's motion passed. S. Mr. Newberry Recognized Mr. Sturgill noted that this meeting was the last one which Mr. Newberry would attend as a student member of the Board and asked if he had anything to say. Mr. Newberry responded that he deeply appreciated the genuine concern which the administration of the University has for the students and thanked the Board for an informative, exciting, and interesting year. He said that it had been a rewarding year and he was proud that he would be a graduate of such a good institution, but he felt there were a few areas which needed improvement and mentioned the following: 1) Women's Athletics Programs, 2) the quality of undergraduate education, and 3) the need for more direct student input from the Community College System. In closing he introduced the new Student Government president who will become the next student member of the Board, Mr. Gene Tichenor. Governor Chandler complimented Mr. Newberry on his distinguished service and Mr. Sturgill, speaking on behalf of the entire Board, expressed thanks to Mr. Newberry for his many contributions and wished him well in his future endeavors. -8- T. Possible Change in June Meeting Date President Singletary announced that the College of Medicine, which is presently engaged in revising the Physician Service Plan, might be ready to bring the plan to the Board sometime in June. If so, it would be necessary to have a special called meeting of the Board to act on the proposed revision and he wished to alert the members to this possibility. U. Meeting Adjourned After determining there was no further business to come before the meeting, on motion duly made, seconded and carried, the Chairman declared the meeting adjourned at 3:25 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Paul G. Sears, Secretary Board of Trustees (Schedule of Meetings, PR's 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. 8, and 9; FCR's 1, 2, 3, and 4; and ICR 1 which follow are official parts of the Minutes of the Meeting.) SCHEDULE FOR MEETINGS OF BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE 197.8-79 The following dates have been established for meetings of the Board of Trustees and Executive Committee for the 1978-79 fiscal year: July 18, 1978 August 15, 1978 September 19, 1978 October 17, 1978 November 21, 1978 December 12, 1978 January 30, 1979 March 6, 1979 April 3, 1979 May 8, 1979 June 19, 1979 Executive Committee Executive Commnittee Board of Trustees (Statutory) Executive Committee Executive Committee Board of Trustees (Statutory) Executive Committee Executive Committee Board of Trustees (Statutory) Board of Trustees (Statutory) Executive Committee Note: Any Executive Committee meeting may be rescheduled as a full Board meeting should the nature or quantity of work make this necessary. Office of the President May 9, 1978 Members, Board of Trustees: RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE PRESIDENT I. Departmental Name Change Recommendation: that the Board of Trustees approve the recommen- dation that the official name of the Department of Hum-an Communica- tion be changed to the Department of Communication. Background: It is felt that using the term "human" as part of the de- partmental name adds nothing by way of clarification or explanation of the nature of the program and/or mission of the department. Further, it is believed that changing the name will be more consistent with the departmental course prefix designations as they now appear in the University Catalog and class schedule booklets. II. Appointments to the Board of Directors of UKRF Recommendation: (1) that Mr. William B. Sturgill, Mr. Edward Dabney, and Dr. Roger Eichhorn be reappointed to the Board of Directors of the University of Kentucky Research Foundation for three year terms end- ing in 1981; and (2) that Mr. Homer W. Ramsey be appointed to the Board of Directors to serve through 1979 to complete Mr. Richard E. Cooper's term. Background: The terms of Mr. Sturgill, Mr. Dabney, and Dr. Eichhorn expire this year. All three men have been valuable members of the Board of Directors of UKRF and their reappointment is recommended. Because Mr. Richard E. Cooper, who was appointed to the UKRF Board of Directors as a Trustee member through 1979, is no longer a member of the Board of Trustees, his seat on the UKRF Board is vacant. It is the recommendation of the Nominating Committee that Mr. Homer W. Ramsey be appointed through 1979 to complete Mr. Cooper's term. -2- III. Appointments and/or Other Staff Changes Recommendations: (1) that approval be given to the appointments and/or other changes which require Board action; and (2) that the report relative to appointments and/or changes already approved by the administration be accepted. Background: The following recommended appointments and/or other staff changes require approval by the Board of Trustees in accordance with Part VIII-B of the Governing Regulations of the University. These recommendations are transmitted to the Board by the appropriate vice president through the President and have his concurrence. Under the Governing Regulations the authority to make certain appointments and/or other staff changes is delegated to the President or other administrators who are required to report their actions to the Board. This report follows the recommendations requiring Board approval.
