The Minutes of the Meeting of March 8, l982, were approved as circulated.
Chairman Kemp began the meeting with the following remarks:

”As this is my last meeting to act as your presiding
officer, I should have a farewell address. However, farewell
addresses, especially those that are remembered, usually
have catchy phrases so I had better not attempt to make one.
I suspect all of you remember the words of General MacArthur's
farewell address when he said, 'Old soldiers never die, they
just fade away.‘ I wish I could say old Senate Council
Chairmen never die, but we all know we can't escape that
fate. Also, we can't escape the other situation that faces
us this week, the paying of our taxes. Since I can‘t escape
that and can't escape paying my taxes, I will just fade
away. However, since my colleagues elected me to another
term in the Senate, I will be with you with a light that may
be dim, but not entirely faded.

Since this is my last time to preside, I want to thank
all of you for being a good group with which to work. I
have attempted to approach the position with a positive
attitude at a time when it is not always easy to be optimis—
tic. In my first meeting as your Chairman I suggested that

 

 -2-

we accentuate the positive. I still believe in that approach.
Not only do we need to take advantage of the power of positive
thinking, we need to go a step further and capitalize on the
power of positive action. I challenge you to put your effort
behind those things which are positive, think about them,

put your ideas into action and we can make this a better

place for students, faculty and administrators.

There are several information items I want to pass on
to you before we get into the business of the day. First,
the new officers for the Senate Council for next year are:
Chairman, Donald Ivey; Chair elect, Douglas Rees. The
President, with advice from the Senate Council, has appointed
search committees for the positions of Dean of Extension and
Dean of Education. Those committees are already working to
select new deans. Dr. Robert Heath has been appointed as
Director of the Computing Center. As you know, the Senate
passed a resolution requesting that this position be filled
by an academic person, and we are happy that this has happened.
The Council has approved the activation or changes in several
programs including a program in the College of Allied Health
Professions, Health Services Administration. Approval of
the reactivation of the four—year nursing program and the
new admissions standards will be dealt with today. The
Council has also approved some changes in the degree require-
ments in the College of Arts and Sciences. A few objections
were raised but these have been resolved and as far as I
know no further objections have come in. All of these changes
have been circulated to you as members of the Senate.

Some other things that are pending before the Senate
Council include a review of the Honors Program; review and
possible expansion of the use of CLEP and other testing
programs to give college credit for outside work; and a more
clear and exact definition of what constitutes a financial
exigency and the role the Senate should play when we have to
deal with such a situation.

Week before last I had the opportunity to represent you
in Atlanta along with Vice President Zumwinkle and Associate
Vice President Sands in a meeting dealing with the retention
of black students sponsored by the Office of Civil Rights.
We will be dealing with that shortly.

Balloting for the election to the Senate has been
completed, the results are being tabulated and will be known
in a few days. After the new Senate roster is known, you
will receive a letter and a request for you to give your
preference for a committee. As you may know, there will be
fewer standing committees in the Senate next year and also
non—Senators may be members of some of these committees.

 

 However. at Teast fifty percent of the members of the committees
and its Chairperson wiTT be a member of the Senate. I think
those are the information itemsfl

The Chair recognized Professor NiTTiam Wagner who gave a report as a facuTty
member of the Board of Trustees.

Dr. Wagner spoke to the Senate as foTTows:

”I wiTT give a brief report on the meeting that the
FacuTty Advisory Committee had with the staff of the
CounciT on Higher Education on March 16. The facuTty trus—
tees meet with the staff about a month before the Councii
meets. However, the CounciT meeting was postponed in ApriT.
One item brought up was facuity saTaries. In the past the
CounciT made a recommendation to the universities suggest—
ing what the saTary increments shoqu be. This time they
decided not to do so since this woqu vary from institution
to institution. They didn’t want to go out on a Timb teTT—
ing institutions what saTary increments they shoqu get.

On the Tong range prospects and issues from the Prichard
Committee report, one of the recommendations of that com—
mittee was for seTective admissions which this University
is obiigated to come up with some sort of a pTan to be pre—
sented to the CounciT Tater. ATso, there wiTT be consider—
abTe interaction because of this report with the pre-coTTege
training in the high schooT so there is coordination going
on in that area. The Legisiature apparentTy did not pass
the fund which the Prichard Committee recommended for ex—
ceTTence in the institutions. Apparentiy the funding for
the CounciT on Higher Education was decreased. That can
either be good or bad depending on how you feeT about the
CounciT on Higher Education. It probabTy wiTT mean some
cutback in some of the things they have been doing. There
have been some changes made in the membership of the CounciT.
I think they have changed the term of office to four years
and aTso there is a stipuTation that at Teast one member
must be from each regionaT institution. This may mean

that it might be a TittTe tougher for our University to

be ganged up on by some of the members from the regionaTs.
That remains to be seen.

At the Tast Board of Trustees meeting the President
presented some information on the budget. One good thing
that came out of the LegisTative Session was that the
mission formuTa funding base is intact. You wiTT remember
there was a disagreement with the regionaT institutions on
whether the mission formuTa woqu be used for funding the
institutions. This did remain intact and the University
did get the originai doTTar amount that was proposed by
the Councii. One change in the University budget is that
the Community CoTTege has been put down as a Tine budget
item. This wiTT have some infTuence in that it wiTT be,
impossibTe to shift funds to the Community CoTTeges when
needed.

 

 c4_

The Pharmacy Building was approved. The funds were aISo
made available for the new Mining Building out of a separate
Mining Engineering Trust Fund rather than a straight appro—
priation for that. There was a management bill wherein more
responsibility was given back to the University for purchasing.
A lot of the purchasing will not now have to go through
Frankfort. This should make it less cumbersome. That also
applies to some construction budget too.

Two bills were defeated. One was about the income from
the money in the various foundations. Some legislators were
upset over the golf course at Murray funded from Foundation
funds. Also there was some question concerning the fund
balances. They wanted to try to prevent institutions from
carrying over fund balances, That also was defeated. There
was some concern about the Tobacco and Health Institute, It
did remain intact.

Kentucky does not have to play Louisville in basketball,
unless they want to.

There was one item that came up at the Board meeting con-
cerning the proposed amendment to the Governing Regulations.
This has to do with the change in the Governing Regulations
pertaining to the academic assignments. They are now made
on the academic year, nine month, ten month and twelve month
basis. The recommendation now has an additional one of an
eleven month appointment. The rationale back of that is that
an additional option of academic assignments on an eleven
month basis is needed urgently in at least one college to
attommodate academic programs more effectively and to provide
a means to deal with critical fiscal problems. I believe
that college is Allied Health. If any of you have any com-
ment; on that and will give them to Connie or me, we will
present your views.

Sometimes Connie and I hear comments such as, 'Why
doesn‘t the Board of Trustees do something about the Univer—
sity's problems?‘ We have been getting some bad publicity
from the local papers recently. I guess my answer is that
we are not sure we want the Board to do too much about these
matters. These are pretty much internal matters and should
be solved administratively. I think knowing who appoints
the Board of Trustees and also some of the members who are
appointed, 1 am not sure that their primary interest is in
the academic program of this institution. 1 think we would
find if they dabbled too much in our internal affairs, we may
regret it rather than think they might solve some of the
problems. Perhaps we need more faculty participation in
governance.“

Chairman Kemp thanked Professor Wagner for his remarks.

Chairman Kemp recognized Professor Donald Ivey for the first action item on the
agenda. Professor Ivey, on behalf of the University Senate Council, recommended
Revision of University Senate Rules, IV, l.l., Readmission After Two or More Years.
This proposal was circulated to members of the Senate under date of March 30, l982.
Professor Ivey said there were two areas that caused the rewriting of the rule. There
was a question if one semester meant a full semester or twelve hours or just a se—
mester in school. The intent is to make it a full semester. This has to do with the
bankruptcy provision where a semester can be deleted from a student's record.

The floor was opened for questions and discussion. There were no questions and the

proposed change in University Senate Rules, IV, l.l passed unanimously and reads as
follows:

Proposed: [The deleted portions are in brackets. The added material
is underlinedJ

Section IV, l.l Readmission after two or more years

 

a. An undergraduate student who has been read-
mitted through the usual channels after an
interruption of two or more years, and who has
completed at least one semester (l2 credit hours)
with a grade point standing of 2.0 or better
after readmission may choose to have[all or]

none of his previous University of Kentucky
course work counted toward graduation and toward
the computation of his grade point standing.

b. In addition, the dean of the student‘s
college may permit such a readmitted student
who has elected not to count his past work, re-
ceive credit for selected courses without in—
cluding those grades in the computation of his
grade point standing.

Rationale: The rule, as presently worded, is not clear. The new
wording attempts to clarify the rule.

The Chairman recognized Professor Donald Ivey. Professor Ivey, on behalf of the
University Senate Council, recommended approval of the Proposed Reorganization of the
College of Business and Economics. This was circulated to members of the Senate under
date of March 29, l982.

Chairman Kemp said that there were several different changes and the Senate Council
preferred to take them as a group unless there were objections. The floor was opened
for questions and discussion. Professor Canon wanted to know if the Senate needed to
get involved as to the number of Associate Deans a College had and what they did. Pro-
fessor Kemp said that was a part of the reorganizational proposal, and the Committee
on Academic Organization and Structure dealt with it. Professor Grimes' response was
that there were several pieces to the reorganization. One part was administrative and
the other part was the creation of several new departments out of the Department of
Business Administration which is being subdivided into three departments. Therefore,
it became an academic issue that should go before the Senate. He said that was the

 

 logic of the proposal. Professor Canon wanted to know if the Senate approved the
proposal would it lock in Deans and duties forever or just departments. Professor
Grimes responded that it just so happened at the time the administrative structure was
being changed the academic units were also being changed. The package just came to—
gether but ordinarily this would not happen.

The proposal, which passed unanimously, reads as follows:

Background:

The Senate Council, with the advice of the Committee on Academic
Organization and Structure and~upon the recommendations of Vice
President Gallaher and President Singletary, recommends that the
College of Business and Economics be reorganized.

The organization structure would change from the present structure,
Exhibit l, to the proposed structure, Exhibit 2. [Exhibits follow]

The major proposed changes are:

l. Increase the number of departments from three (3) to five (5):

Present: Proposed:
Accounting Accounting

Economics Economics
Business Administration Marketing
Finance
Management and Policy

Consolidate the overall responsibility for graduate studies into
one office with one Director of Graduate Studies but with program
directors in each department.

Expand the duties of the Associate Dean for Research to include
extension activities and change the title to Associate Dean for
Research and Extension.

Establish a position of Associate Dean for Development and
abolish the position of Associate Dean for Continuing Education
(now vacant).

Realign the organizational structure flow chart, particularly
as it pertains to the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs so
that it is understood that the delegation of authority is in
agreement with the Administrative Regulations, Governing
Regulations, and Rules of the University Senate.

 

 

The reorganization will take place after it has been approved by the
Board of Trustees and it is administratively feasible.

Rationale:

The reorganization is more in line with organizational structure
of leading Colleges of Business and Economics. It will simplify and
clarify the responsibilities of the administrative personnel.

It will give more visibility to and more nearly describe the
training of graduates in the new departments. It will
strengthen the position of Director of Graduate Studies so
there will be more coordination among program directors. By
expanding the role and title of the Associate Dean of Re—
search to include Extension there will be more coordination
between research and extension activities. The establishment
of the position of Associate Dean for Development will allow
closer contacts with and should help establish closer ties
among faculty, students, alumni, business and industry.

The reorganization also is necessary to help maintain accred—
itation by the American Assembly of Collegiate School of
Business (AACBS). This group was on campus in December and
was favorably impressed with the proposed reorganization.

The last action item was the proposed change in Admission Criteria for the College
of Nursing. Again Chairman Kemp recognized Professor Donald lvey. Professor Ivey, on
behalf of the University Senate Council, moved adoption of the Proposed Change in
Admission Criteria for the College of Nursing, University Senate Rules, IV., 2.l.6.
This proposal was circulated to members of the Senate under date of March 29, l982.

 

The floor was opened for questions and discussion. Professor Canon asked if the
proposal had been sent to the Committee on Admissions and Academic Standards. Chairman
Kemp said that it had the committee‘s approval. Professor Jewell's understanding was
that the Senate would not be voting on the new academic program. Dr. Kemp said that
was approved by the Senate Council and has been circulated to the Senate. He added that
the proposal was a reactivation of the program that was in effect a few years ago.
Professor Jewell asked if it were in order to raise questions about the academic program.
Professor Kemp told him if the questions were germane to admissions, they would be in
order.

Professor Jewell wanted some explanation from Nursing as to why the new admissions
standards and the accompanying four—year prOgram had been pushed through in such a
hurry. He said that he would like some reasoning about why it was happening so fast.
Dean McKenna said that nothing had been done precipitately. She said the proposal had
gone through the Academic Council of the Medical Center which took two months. She
added that when Nursing went to the Council in l977 to ask for permission to have a
baccalaureate program for registered nurses, it was a two-year program. The reason the
four—year program was stopped was because Nursing was told from every resource possible
that they would be inundated with nurses. The University could not support the four—
year program and the generic program at the same time, so Nursing asked that the four»
year program be discontinued. The college has not been inundated with applicants. Of
those applicants seventy percent are part—time students. There is now a serious short—
age of registered nurses. Given the fact that Nursing does not have the number of
applicants they were led to believe they would have, and because they believe Nursing
has an obligation to educate nurses in Kentucky, the college would now like to consti—
tute a four-year program. In Dean McKenna's judgment the College of Nursing was not
wrong in stopping the prior program. She felt the program proposed to the Senate Council
is one of the finest they have ever come up with. She also felt the programs in the
College of Nursing have been strengthened by reintroducing the four-year program.

Professor Jewell said he was generally sympathetic of the direction the College
was moving, but it still seemed to him it had been rushed through and wanted to know if
the program had gone to the academic program committee. Chairman Kemp said it did
not because it was a reactivation and the rules state, “a new program” and this was not

 

 deemed a new program. Dean McKenna said that it did not have to go to the Council on
Higher Education.

Professor Lyon said he was not clear what must and must not come before the Senate.
He wanted to know if the Senate Council approved the program in principle. He wanted
to know how to get from ”in principle“ to adopting admissions criteria to adopting students
that would be on a status other than being admitted ”in principle.” Chairman Kemp said
that ”in principle” was the first meeting and then the Council adopted the program for
transmittal to members of the Senate for comment. If there are objections, the Council

tries to resolve them. It is mandated that any admissions criteria go through the
Senate.

Professor Ogletree said he was confused about the process used and wanted to know
if the program had been subjected to a feasibility study. Professor Kemp responded that
the program did have the approval of the Medical Center and all of the Councils, but it
did not go to the President. Professor Gesund felt the Senate didn't have to do any—
thing because at the time the four-year program was discontinued it was left open to the
College of Nursing to reverse its stand and come back with a regular four-year program.
Dean McKenna said that was correct and what Nursing wanted to do was reactivate the pro-
gram. Chairman Kemp said that it would not involve any new facilities or faculty.

Dean McKenna said that Nursing had the potential for 140 full—time equivalent students
but had not achieved that but with the additional students, they would use their re—
sources properly.

A question was asked concerning a clarification on the admission criteria for the
types of students. Dean McKenna said the generic students are the freshmen who continue
through the four years and then would write the licensing examination to become a regis-
tered nurse. The diploma graduate already has a license to practice and some academic
credit and therefore is a transfer student. The registered nurse is a graduate from
the associate degree program. The other portion of individuals that have been provided
for are the graduates from an associate degree program that have not yet written the
license examination. They have had no experience as a registered nurse and meet the
requirements of a four—year student. -

There were no further questions. The Admission Criteria for the College of Nursing
passed unanimously and reads as follows:

Proposed:

The College of Nursing enrollment will be composed of generic
students, associate degree nursing graduates and diploma
nursing school graduates.

Approval of the admission of all students into the University
of Kentucky is under the authority of the Dean of Admissions
and Registrar. Admission to the University does not guaran—
tee admission to the College of Nursing.

Admission to the junior year will be regulated so that the
total number of full-time equivalents does not exceed l40.
Students in the junior year are drawn from all sources:
generic students, transfer students, and R.N. students. An
overall grade point average of 2.5 on a 4.0 quality scale

is required of all students admitted to the junior year in
the College of Nursing. Preference will be given to Kentucky
residents.

 

 Admission criteria for three (3) types of students are as
follows:

A. Freshman students seeking admission to the College of
Nursing will be admitted if their ACT Composite Score
is at the 50th percentile on national norms, and if
they have a high school grade point average of 2.5 on
a 4.0 scale,

Non-R.N. transfer students may transfer credit accord-
ing to University policy but must meet all College of
Nursing requirements.

 

l. Transfer students with less than 24 hours of
college credit must meet the criteria for enter-
ing freshmen and, in addition, must have an
overall grade point average of 2.5 on all college
work attempted (as computed by the University of
Kentucky Admissions office.)

Transfer students with more than 24 hours of
College credit must have a 2.5 overall grade
point average on all college work attempted (as
computed by the University of Kentucky Admissions
office.)

All students admitted to the program prior to
licensure must follow the generic tract. Nursing
courses taken in an associate degree or diploma
program are considered lower division courses and
are not equivalent to upper division courses
offered in this program,

Registered nurse students applying for entry into the
upper division of the College of Nursing must meet the
following requirements:

 

l, Registered Nurse licensed to practice in Kentucky.

2. Graduate with an Associate Degree in Nursing from
a college accredited by the regional branch of the
Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges. The
registered nurse who is a graduate of a diploma
program will be considered for admission after
earning a minimum of 60 college credits* which
meet the following requirements:

English——6 semester credits

Natural Sciences—»l0 semester credits
Behavioral Sciences~-6 semester credits
Nursing—~28 semester credits
Electives——l0 semester hours

*These credits may be earned from a regionally accredited college by taking tte
courses or by examination, i.e,, challenge, equivalency, such as ACT, PEP (Pro—
ficiency Examination Program.)

 

 An overall grade point average of 2.5 on a 4.0
scale in all course work attempted as computed by
the University of Kentucky Admissions Office.

All applicants must be in a good state of health and
able to carry out the functions of the professional
nurse. After acceptance for admission the applicant
will be required to obtain a physical exam, update
immunizations and obtain a tuberculin test or x—ray
as appropriate.

Part—time Study:

A student who wants to work toward the completion of

the B.S.N. degree on a part time basis must plan his/her
program with the College of Nursing upon admission and
may not alter that plan without prior approval from

the College of Nursing.

Candidates for the degree who do not complete all re-

quirements within a seven year period (five years for

R.N.'s) will have their records reevaluated and may be
required to repeat or take selected courses.

All applications and transcripts for Fall admission
must be received by the University of Kentucky Admis—
sions Office no later than June l; for Spring admission,
no later than October l5; registered nurse students

and non—registered nurse transfer.students may be ad—
mitted Fall and Spring. Freshmen will be admitted in
the Fall only. All applicants will be notified regard-
ing admission. Those accepted for admission must noti—
fy the College within 30 days, in writing, of their
intent to enroll.

Background:

A revised four year degree program in the College of
Nursing has been approved by the Academic Council for
the Medical Center, the Undergraduate Council and the
Senate Council. In connection with this program are
admissions criteria which have been approved by the
Admissions and Academic Standards Committee and the
Senate Council. These criteria need Senate approval.
These criteria will replace any existing admission
requirements and will become effective in the Fall of
l982.

Note: The proposed admissions criteria will be sent
to the Senate Rules Committee for codification.

 

 Chairman Kemp said there would be no May meeting unless there was a need. He said
that the Senate Council would act on the pending items with the Senate's permission and
would approve the candidates for the May degrees. He told the Senate how much he had
enjoyed being Chairman.

There was no further business and the meeting adjourned at 3:45 p.m.
