Medical Services Foundation (PR 6E)

    President Singletary recommended approval of the agreement
between the Board of Trustees of the University of Kentucky and
Kentucky Medical Services Foundation, Incorporated as presented in
PR 6E. Mr. Black so moved. His motion was seconded by Mr. Watson

    Professor Wilson asked that the following letter from the
University Senate Council regarding this matter be included in the
Minutes of the meeting:

                                              June 18, 1984



    Professor Constance P. Wilson
    Professor James D. Kemp
    Faculty Members of the Board of Trustees
    University of Kentucky

    Dear Professors Wilson and Kemp:

         The Senate Council received a request (dated 31 May 1984)
    from Professor William Cotter, Chairman of the Faculty Council
    of the College of Medicine, asking the Senate Council to
    support Section 6, A and B, of the Agreement between the Board
    of Trustees and the Kentucky Medical Services Foundation
    (KMSF) set forth in documents dated 30 June 1978 and 28 June
    1979. Section 6 of this Agreement requires that KMSF pay 10%
    of the clinical collections by KMSF to the Fund for the
    Advancement of Education and Research in the University of
    Kentucky Medical Center in "an account maintained for the
    purpose of providing an academic enrichment fund to be used by
    the Dean of the College of Medicine" in support of college
    programs and for the enrichment of these programs (and related
    purposes).

         At its 17 April 1984 meeting the KMSF Board voted to
    change the payment of previously agreed 10% to 9% for the
    fiscal year starting 1 July 1984. The impetus for this
    decreased payment apparently derives from a combination of
    projected decreases in clinical collections secondary to
    changes in third party policies and increased overhead
    expenses secondary to the use of the new Medical Plaza
    Building in which the clinic faculty now renders outpatient
    care.

          The College of Medicine Faculty Council feels that the
    academic enrichment funds provide critical support for
    academic programs, that the KMSF Board acted unilaterally, and
    that a decrease in contributions for academic enrichment would
    constitute a breach of faith with the college faculty.




 





-8-



        The Senate Council supports this statement and asks that
   you communicate this position to the members of the Board of
   Trustees.

                                Sincerely,

                                /s/Robert N. Bostrom

                                Robert N. Bostrom
                                Chairman

    (See PR 6E at the end of the Minutes.)

    Z.   Appointment of Dean, College of Nursing (PR 6F)

    President Singletary indicated his pleasure in recommending that
Carolyn A. Williams, Ph.D. be named Dean and Professor, with tenure,
College of Nursing, effective July 1, 1984. Explaining that the
search for a dean to replace Dean Marion McKenna had been conducted in
accordance with the University's Governing Regulations, President
Singletary said he was very pleased to recommend Dr. Carolyn A.
Williams to fill this position.

    On motion made by Mr. Ramsey, seconded by Mr. Bradford, and
passed, Carolyn A. Williams, Ph.D. was named Dean and Professor, with
tenure, College of Nursing, effective July 1, 1984. (See PR 6F at the
end of the Minutes.)

    AA. Appointment of Chairman, Department of Prosthodontics,
College of Dentistry (PR 6G)

    President Singletary said he was also pleased to recommend that
Hubert Fields, Jr., D.M.D. be named Chairperson and Professor, without
tenure, Department of Prosthodontics, College of Dentistry. He
pointed out that this is one of the first appointments to a shared
chairmanship for the dental schools of the University of Kentucky and
University of Louisville that resulted from negotiations conducted
between the two presidents of the schools. Dr. Fields is currently
Chairperson and Professor, with tenure, in the Department of
Prosthodontics at the University of Louisville School of Dentistry.

    On motion duly made, seconded, and carried, approval was given to
the appointment of Hubert Fields, D.M.D. as Chairperson and Professor,
without tenure, Department of Prosthodontics, College of Dentistry,
retroactive to May 1, 1984. (See PR 6G at the end of the Minutes.)

    BB. Interim Financial Report (FCR 1)

    Mr. Farmer reported that the Finance Committee had met on the
morning of June 19, 1984. There being disagreement between the
members of the Finance Committee concerning a recommendation on one of
the items, Lease of University Bookstore (FCR 9), it was decided that
FCR 9 should be presented to the Board for action.

of the Lucille P. Markey Charitable Trust, and (2) authorized the
Treasurer of the University to transfer the aforesaid sum together
with accrued interest thereon to the Ephraim McDowell Cancer Research
Foundation to be used for construction of Phase II of the Lucilie
Parker Markey Cancer Center. (See FCR 4 at the end of the Minutes.)

    FF. Disposal of Surplus Property (FCR 5)

    Mr. Farmer then moved that the University declare as surplus Lot
431, Unit 4, and Lot 337, Unit 3, Perry Park Resort, Owen County,
Kentucky and that the Vice Chancellor for Administration be authorized
to dispose of these lots as recommended in FCR 5. Mr. Hershey
seconded Mr. Farmer's motion which passed without dissent.

    President Singletary noted that these two lots were given to the
University by Ellwood Hammaker, a retired University professor, and
his wife Evelyn and that the proceeds from the sale of the lots will
be used for the benefit of handicapped student services. (See FCR 5
at the end of the Minutes,)

    With the concurrence of the Finance Committee, Mr. Farmer moved

    HH. Little Kentucky Derby Scolarship Fund (FCR 7)

the Board of Trustees authorized the establishment of a
quasi-endowment for the Little Kentucky Derby Scholarship Fund.

    Chairman McCowan commended the student body on working together to
raise money for deserving fellow students. (See FCR 7 at the end of
the Minutes.)

    II. Estate of Mildred Rhoads (FCR 8)

    Mr. Farmer moved that the Board of Trustees authorize the
establishment of a quasi-endowment under the terms of the Will of
Mildred Rhoads. The money is to be used for scholarships, loans, and
grants to Agriculture majors in Animal Husbandry. Mr. Farmer's motion
was seconded by Mr. Lassetter and passed unanimously. (See FCR 8 at
the end of the Minutes.)

    JJ. Lease of University Bookstore (FCR 9)

    Mr. Farmer called on Vice Chancellor Blanton, who reviewed the
procedure followed in arriving at the recommendation in the attached
FCR 9. Concern was expressed about the policy on "tie bids" with an
expression that in such instances the award should be given to
Kentucky firms. Mr. Larry Jones stated that he felt a
pre-qualification system for bids should be considered.

    Following discussion, Mr. Griffin moved that the Vice Chancellor
for Administration of the Lexington Campus be authorized to enter into
a three-year agreement on behalf of the University with the Follett
College Stores Corporation as recommended in FCR 9. Mr. Griffin's
motion was seconded by Mr. Bell and carried, with two dissenting votes
by Mr. Lunsford and Mr. Geary. (See FCR 9 at the end of the Minutes.)

    KK. Operating Budget for 1984-85 (PR 3F)

    In opening his budget presentation, President Singletary stated
that the proposed expenditure level of $381.4 million represents an
increase of $9.8 million (2.6 percent) over the 1983-84 Operating
Budget. Using a series of charts, he reviewed the major sources of
income, expenditures by program, and a history of faculty salaries in
relation to the University's benchmark institutions. He pointed out
that salaries for 1983-84 for the Lexington Campus and Medical Center
were about $636 lower than the median of U.K.'s benchmark institutions
and that salaries for the Community College faculty exceeded the
benchmark median by $350. President Singletary stressed that the
problem this budget creates is reflected in a projection that by
1985-86 the average faculty salary for the Lexington Campus and
Medical Center is estimated to be $2,300 below the benchmark median,
and in a similar comparison, it is estimated that the average
Community College faculty salary will be $700 below the benchmark
median. He pointed out that the University is being put in a
noncompetitive position as it not only inhibits the ability to attract
faculty but makes it extremely difficult to keep faculty that are in
demand elsewhere.




 






-1 1-



    President Singletary concluded his presentation by saying it is
his belief that this is the best budget that could be put together
under the circumstances. He then recommended approval.

    Mr. Griffin moved that the 1984-85 Operating Budget be approved,
and that the Chairman of the Board be authorized to execute contracts
with the administrative officers providing for the terms and
conditions of their employment for 1984-85. Mr. Griffin's motion was
seconded by Mr. Black and passed with all present voting "aye".

    Governor Chandler complimented President Singletary on his
outstanding efforts to obtain funding for the University, and thanked
him for his dedication to the University of Kentucky and to the people
of the Commonwealth.

    Mr. Black, on behalf of the Board, expressed thanks and
appreciation to President Singletary and his senior administrative
staff for their leadership and commended them for their position
relative to their individual salaries for 1984-85. (See PR 3F at the
end of the Minutes.)

    LL. Mr. David Bradford Recognized

    Governor Chandler recognized Mr. Bradford, who was attending his
last meeting as a member of the Board. He complimented Mr. Bradford
on his distinguished service to the University during his tenure as
Student Trustee and extended best wishes on behalf of the Board.

    MM. President Singletary Commended

    The Chair recognized Mr. Bell who voiced his concern over a recent
editorial in the local newspaper criticizing the lack of academic
achievement under the administration of President Singletary. Mr.
Bell recalled some of the achievements and academic progress that he
attributed directly to President Singletary, which included the naming
of seven Alumni Professors, the establishment of two endowed chairs, a
banner-year giving by alumni and friends of the University, the gift
from John R. and Joan B. Gaines to endow the Gaines Fellowships in the
Humanities, the adoption of Selective Admissions, and the creation
last month by the Board of the Otis A. Singletary Fund for Excellence.

     Mr. Bell indicated that the Board of Trustees recognizes the
academic excellence which has been achieved under President
Singletary's leadership and added that the Board needs to make the
public aware of these accomplishments. Speaking on behalf of the
Alumni, Mr. Bell stated that under President Singletary's guidance not
only the University but the State is a much better place "because he
passed our way." Mr. Bell requested that these statements be a part
of the Minutes of the meeting of the Board of Trustees, following
which Mr. Bell was given a round of applause.

   NN. Mr. William B. Sturgill Recognized

   Mr. Lunsford, in recalling the four years that he spent working
closely with Mr. Sturgill during the Administration of former Governor
John Y. Brown, Jr., praised Mr. Sturgill for his leadership, his
devotion, and his dedication to education in Kentucky and to the
University of Kentucky in particular. He spoke of Mr. Sturgill's
loyalty to the University which, Mr. Lunsford pointed out, was
demonstrated on numerous occasions while serving as Chairman of the
