A
Post-Secondary
education
to
order
before
I
proceed,
we
do
have
a
new
member
on
this
subcommittee
like
to
welcome
representative
Derek
Graham
he's
been
visiting
with
us
in
an
unofficial
role,
actually
he's
with
us
over
the
interim,
and
now
he
is
with
us
officially
during
session.
Would
you
like
to
share
a
few
words
representative,
Graham.
B
As
many
of
old
heads
know,
I've
been
engaged
in
the
in
the
educational
Community
serves
as
budget
reviews
subcommittee
chair
for
K-12
was
the
education
chair
for
about
six
years,
almost
six
years,
so
I'm
glad
to
be
back
in
the
field
and
and
working
with
our
universities
and
working
with
you,
as
well
as
the
members
of
this
committee.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
for
your
comments.
Thank.
A
It
so
we
do
have
it
do
we
have
a
quorum.
We
do
not
have
a
quorum
at
this
time
to
do
her
minutes,
so
we
will
take
care
of
that
possibly
later
or
at
a
future
meeting.
Our
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
a
presentation
from
the
Kentucky
Community
and
Technical
College
system.
So
president
zaparta
plays
plates
come
to
the
table.
If
you
have
anybody
with
you
have
income
as
well
as
I
mentioned
in
the
last
meeting.
A
D
Thank
you
very
much.
Paul
zarapada
assistant
president
of
the
Kentucky
Community
and
Technical
College
system.
A
D
D
And
I'll
start
off
by
saying
that
you
know
kctcs
is
a
huge
proponent
of
dual
credit.
It
gives
students
the
confidence
that
they
can
succeed
in
post-secondary
education
while
they're
in
high
school,
and
they
can.
The
Dual
credit
courses
can
take
place
at
a
variety
of
locations,
including
high
schools,
area,
Technology,
Centers,
Career
and
Technical
centers,
and
then
of
course,
online
as
well.
D
D
Okay,
there
we
go
so
kctcs
is
the
leading
provider
of
dual
credit
across
the
Commonwealth,
and
we
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
give
students
a
head
start
in
their
college
careers.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
some
students
get
so
far
ahead.
In
dual
credit.
They
graduate
high
school
with
an
associate's
degree,
so
you
can
imagine
the
leg
up
that
they
get
also
gets
them
into
the
workforce
faster
over
the
last
five
years.
D
The
number
of
dual
credit
students
that
we
have
taught
has
risen
by
90
percent,
and
so
we
are
seeing
that
that
uptick
keep
coming
and
then
coupled
with
the
drop
in
credential
seeking
students
due
to
covid
high
school
students
accounted
for
just
over
30
percent
of
our
enrollment
in
the
fall
of
21.
D
This
was
moved
up
to
40,
but
what
we
are
seeking
here
is
not
a
change
to
the
scholarship,
but
to
move
that
up
to
50
percent,
which
is
very
close
to
our
Breakeven
Point.
Our
break-even
point
is
roughly
55
percent.
Moving
it
up
to
50
percent
would
allow
us
to
come
closer
to
breaking
even
and
Larry.
Maybe
you
could
talk
about
some
of
the
expenses
I.
E
Can,
as
Dr
ziropoded
said,
the
colleges
are
completely
supportive
of
dual
credit.
We
see
the
altruistic
value
in
it
I'm
one
of
those
colleges,
that's
fortunate
to
have
every
year
from
a
local
private
school
students
walk
across
to
have
done
dual
credit
with
us
and
earn
an
associate
degree
at
17
and
18
years
old.
So
we
see
the
great
benefit
to
that,
but
from
a
business
perspective
there
are
some
things
that
make
it
a
little
challenging
for
us.
There
are
additional
costs
to
delivering
dual
credit
and
I'll.
E
Give
you
one
example:
I
have
to
fill
a
full-time
position
of
roughly
69
000
a
year
for
someone
just
to
help
coordinate
dual
credit
with
the
nine
different
school
districts
that
I
work
with,
and
my
state
appropriation
for.
My
college
get
drilling
it
down
to
one
College.
Northeast
Kentucky
is
about
42
percent
of
my
budget,
so
the
rest
of
my
budget
is
made
up
of
tuition
and
fees.
E
So
when
they're
only
paying
40
percent
of
the
tuition
rate
of
179
dollars,
which
we
have
the
lowest
tuition
rate
per
credit
hour
in
the
state,
it
does
make
it
difficult
for
us
and,
as
Dr
ziropod
has
said,
we
really
have
to
be
at
around
the
55
percent.
Not
what
we're
asking
for
this
will
just
get
us
closer
so
that
we're
at
a
break-even
point
in
the
cost
of
delivering
that
instruction.
Other
ancillary
costs
that
are
associated
with
that.
E
We
have
to
pay
the
high
school
teachers
who
do
meet
sacs
COC
accreditation
standards
who
teach
for
us
many
times.
We
have
to
send
our
own
faculty
into
the
high
school
because
often
they
do
not
have
faculty
who
meet
those
accreditation
standards.
So
those
add
on
additional
cost
for
us
as
well,
so
it
isn't
necessarily
free
for
us
to
deliver
those
services.
D
Yeah
I
think
another
thing
to
add,
too,
is
that
in
many
cases
our
general
education
courses
help
pay
for
technical
courses
which
are
much
more
expensive
to
offer.
Well.
E
An
example
of
that
would
be
I
can
teach
an
English
course
so
English
101,
which
I'm
sure
all
of
you
have
had
with
an
instructor,
can
handle
up
to
not
optimal
but
up
to
30
students
in
a
classroom
setting
if
I
have
a
technical
course,
so
our
Career
Technical
education,
which
is
critical
for
our
Workforce
needs
of
the
state.
E
The
average,
for
that
is
around
15
students
per
instructor,
because
this
also
applies
to
Allied,
Health
and
nursing
because
of
the
Intensive
nature
of
that
instruction
and
what
they
have
to
do
in
either
a
lab
setting
or
in
a
clinical
setting.
So
the
cost
automatically
or
double
based
on
whether
it's
Career
and
Technical
Ed
or
it's
a
general
education
course.
D
It
would
also
eliminate
the
need
for
institutions
to
return
50
of
the
funds
for
unsuccessful
course
completions.
This
is
the
only
scholarship
that
requires
this.
It
would
transfer
the
work
ready,
Kentucky,
Career
and
Technical
education,
dual
credit
language
to
the
Dual
credit
statute,
and
it
would
also
maintain
the
the
current
number
of
scholarship
funded
courses
for
students,
which
is
10.
It
can
be
two
CTE
courses,
your
freshman
year,
two
CTE
courses
your
sophomore
year
and
the
three
gen
Edge
your
junior
year
and
three
gen
EDS
your
senior
year.
D
And
this
is
just
a
success
story
here
of
Mason
Spencer.
He
was
accepted
for
the
pharmacy
school
and
he
credits
the
Dual
credit
program
at
Hazard
for
getting
him
so
far.
So
quickly
and
again,
this
is
a
a
student
that
was
able
to
prove
to
themselves
that
they
could
be
successful
in
college
courses
while
they're
in
high
school-
and
you
know
it-
it
just-
is
a
great
opportunity.
D
A
Has
to
do
a
credit
issue
before
we
move
on
and
if
any
of
the
members
have
questions,
please
let
staff
know
back
in
2020.
I
did
sponsor
legislation
to
deal
with
this
issue.
Of
course,
we
all
remember
what
happened
in
the
2020
session.
It
was
cut
short,
so
the
legislation
did
not
go
through.
However,
in
the
budget
language
process,
we
were
able
to
do
a
little
negotiating
and
we
got
the
rate
set
at
40
percent
in
budget
language.
He
continued
in
the
current
budget
year.
A
We've
done
two
one-year
budgets
and
it
also
went
ahead
and
realigned
the
the
Dual
credit
and
the
Kentucky
Work
Ready
scholarship
and
separated
them
just
for
clarity
and
I
am
the
sponsor
of
House
Bill
85.
In
this
year's
session,
it
was
scheduled
to
be
here
in
education
heard
in
education
on
Tuesday.
That
meeting
was
canceled,
I
anticipate
it
will
be
heard
next
week.
I'll
just
give
you
a
little
background.
A
There
is
legislation
to
address
this,
but
I
wanted
kctcs
to
come
before
our
committee
and
explain
to
us
the
costs
they
have
associated
with
the
program
and
why
they're
asking
for
this
increase
to
50
percent
and
it's
not
just
kctcs,
it's
any
institution
that
offers
a
dual
credit
class.
If
any
of
the
members
have
any
questions
at
this
time,
representative
McCool
place.
F
Give
him
a
little
green
light
working
there.
Thank
you,
Mr
Mr
chair.
Not
really
any
questions,
I
guess,
maybe
it's
so
so
there
is
a
question.
Are
you
tracking
to
see
the
successfulness
of
the
Dual
credit
stood
it
so
at
some
point
in
time
we
can
see
which
I
think
is
going
to
be
very
successful,
but
that
would
confirm
that
the
numbers
to
enter
dual
Credit
in
the
number
who
complete
their
associate
and
baccalaureate
degree.
Is
there
any
process
and
looking
at
that,
we.
F
D
So,
prior
to
Performance
funding,
our
16
colleges
had
varying
amounts
of
State
funding.
It
was
based
on
on
historical
situations:
geography,
demographics.
D
Colleges
in
the
coal
counties
were
historically
provided
with
more
funding
than
the
urban
and
non-coal
areas,
and
so
that's
why
you
know
if
you
hear
that
the
six
coal
colleges
have
been
the
losers
in
performance-based
funding,
there
is
some
truth
to
that
and
Larry
is,
is
one
of
those
and
I.
Don't
know
if
you'd
like
to
add
anything
to
that.
Well,.
E
We
we
have
been
there's
I
will
say,
I
know,
Dr
zarapada
will
explain
more
about
where
we
are
performance-based
funding,
but
there's
not
a
metric
and
performance-based
funding
that
I
would
not
agree
with
or
that
we
shouldn't
be
held
accountable
for
not
one
they're,
all
significant
metrics
to
see
where
we
are
performance
wise,
but
I'll.
E
Just
give
one
quick
example
in
the
1920
Year,
my
college
performed
in
virtually
every
one
of
those
metrics
that
we
receive
no
performance-based
funding
dollars,
and
that
was
just
the
nature
of
where
we
were
because
of
where
the
funding
was
at
before
and
until
some
some
great
work
that
we
appreciated
by
the
legislature.
This
last
time
giving
us
a
basically
a
floor
for
our
base.
Appropriations
kept
us
from
losing
money,
even
though
we
were
theoretically
improving
in
performance
in
all
those
metrics.
D
So
if
you
look
here
at
the
state,
funding
per
full-time
equivalent
kctcs
is
at
roughly
3986
dollars
in
comparison
to
the
research,
universities
and
the
regional
universities,
and
that
ranges
from
988
dollars
per
student
at
KSU
and,
of
course,
we're
at
the
bottom
end
of
that
with
39.86.
D
D
D
And
so
the
colleges
as
I
just
mentioned
are
competing
against
one
another,
and
what
has
happened
is
because
these
six
coal
colleges
had
additional
funds
prior
to
moving
into
this
performance-based
funding.
They
can't
climb
up
that
hill,
so
these
six
are
Ashlynn
here
with
Dr
Ferguson,
Big,
Sandy,
Hazard,
Henderson,
Madisonville
and
Southeast
have
never
received
any
performance-based
funding
and
and
the
colleges
have
been
required
to
redistribute
their
historical
State
funding
and
amounts
ranging
from
471
000
to
1.35
million,
which
I
believe
was
at
hazard
collectively.
D
D
However,
you
know,
as
we
noted
earlier,
because
of
where
they're
at
in
in
relation
to
the
equilibrium
they're
not
going
to
get
any
performance-based
funding
dollars
in
order
to
be
funded
at
the
equilibrium
and
we're
not
asking
for
this,
but
nearly
64
million
of
an
additional
recurring
State
funding
would
be
needed.
D
D
In
the
past,
there's
been
some
adjustments
to
the
model
for
universities.
There
was
a
small
school
adjustment
I
think
two
years
ago
for
KSU
Murray,
State
and
and
Morehead,
and
a
ketchup
appropriation
for
Northern
Kentucky
and
Western
Kentucky
University
in
2023.
The
performance-based
funding
model
is
going
to
be
reviewed
again
and
that's
when
we'd
like
to
you
know
we'd
like
to
propose
some
possible
tweaks.
D
You
know
it
wouldn't
change
the
allocation
coming
to
kctcs,
but
we
could
change
the
allocation
amongst
our
colleges
underneath
that,
so
we
will
be
working
internally
and,
of
course,
working
with
this
work
group
to
try
and
come
up
with
something
so
that
we
don't
have
the
six
coal
colleges.
You
know
quote
unquote
as
losers.
Is
there
anything
you
would
add?
Larry.
A
D
A
They
were
being
supplemented
with
additional
dollars,
so
what
happened
is
this
term
that
I've
I've
had
to
come
to
understand
called
equilibrium?
Yes,
we
had
we
had.
If
you
may
recall,
we
had
the
same
situation
with
some
of
our
other
post-secondary
institutions,
Northern
Kentucky,
Western
Kentucky,
primarily
because
what
had
happened
in
the
previous
allocations,
their
allocations
had
stayed
the
same.
Their
student
population
had
grown,
but
their
historical
allocation
had
stayed
the
same,
so
they
were
out
of
equilibrium.
A
D
A
Don't
understand
what
you're
saying,
because
of
these
supplemental
Appropriations
to
the
coal
colleges,
the
the
non-coal
colleges
are
out
of
equilibrium,
and
it's
going
to
take
it.
It's
going
to
take
up
the
price.
It's
going
to
take
some
steps
to
get
them
an
equilibrium
so
that
everyone,
the
16
colleges,
can
can
compete
effectively
in
the
model.
Did
I
say
that
that.
D
That's
correct,
you
know,
and
it's
it's
important
because
when
you
take
those
six
colleges,
if
they're
never
going
to
get
performance-based
funding,
it's
a
disincentive
for
them
to
be
more
creative,
more
successful,
more
strategic
and
more
Innovative,
you
know
and
again
I
think
we
can.
We
can
come
up
with
some
things
that
could
potentially
help
rectify
the
situation
when
the
working
group
gets
back
together.
Okay,
I.
A
Have
any
questions
from
the
members
at
this
time?
Okay?
Well,
thank
you
and
I
certainly
welcome
your
input.
Appreciate
your
presentation
today.
Thank
you.
Next
on
our
agenda,
we
have
the
University
of
Kentucky
president
capilouto.
If
you
will
come
forward
with
your
colleagues.
G
Sure
Eli
capeluto,
president
of
the
University
of
Kentucky,.
A
Please
raise
your
right
hand.
Do
you
solemnly
swear
to
tell
the
truth,
the
whole
truth
and
nothing,
but
the
truth
will
help
you
got
yes,
thank
you
so
much
and
president
capilouto,
in
light
of
the
recent
storms
in
Western
Kentucky
and
the
Damage
that
was
done
to
our
Princeton
substation
down
there
in
the
grain
Forge
Center
I
asked
you
to
come
and
kind
of
share
a
little
bit
about
what
happened
down
there
and
what
the
plan
is
to
rebuild.
It's
a
very
tragic
situation.
A
It's
a
it's
a
situation,
that's
going
to
impact
Kentucky
Agriculture
and
it's
going
to
take
a
while
to
work
our
way
out
of
it.
So
I
appreciate
you
being
here
and
sharing
with
us
about
that,
as
well
as
the
other
aparchy
presentation.
Thank
you.
G
Thank
you,
Mr
chairman
and
members
of
the
committee.
I
want
to
start
with
my
heartfelt
thanks
for
all
you
do,
for
our
Commonwealth
and
for
Kentucky's
University.
What
I
like
to
refer
to
us
as
the
University
of
for
and
with
Kentucky
your
Investments.
Your
partnership
are
critical
to
Endeavor
to
create
a
healthier,
wealthier
and
wiser
Kentucky.
So
we
deeply
thank
you
and
I
appreciate
you
raising
the
question
about
the
tragedy
that
occurred
in
Princeton
I've
also
been
asked
to
talk
about
asset
preservation
and
bucks
for
brains,
so
I'm
honored
to
be
afforded
this
time.
G
I
like
to
look
at
this
in
another
way,
you've
asked
me
how
we're
going
to
address
rebuilding.
G
Revitalizing
not
only
our
campus
but
communities
throughout
Kentucky,
so
we
are
committed
to
this
and
I'll
start.
First
with
our
Princeton
station,
it
was
in
December
at
our
Board
of
Trustees
meeting
just
days
after
the
storm
that
I
fully
recalled
a
beautiful
day
in
the
fall
of
2019.
When
we
cut
the
ribbon
on
the
new
grain
and
forage
Center
for
excellence
at
Princeton
station,
you
made
that
day
possible.
G
That
Center
was
founded
in
1925
on
nearly
1300
Acres,
just
a
short
drive
from
outside
of
Princeton
and
over
the
years
with
your
support,
and
because
of
your
support
that
Center
and
those
scientists
have
been
able
to
undertake
some
critical
research,
such
as
no-till
research
projects,
Precision
agriculture,
application
studies,
Cutting
Edge
research
and
plant
disease
and
irrigation
management
and
a
whole
hole
and
another
host
of
path-breaking
studies.
That
Dean
Cox
can
certainly
elaborate
our
Specialists.
G
G
We
expect
41
of
the
58
buildings
at
the
center
to
be
a
complete
loss
at
totals
tens
of
millions
of
dollars,
but,
as
all
of
us
have
learned
over
the
last
several
weeks,
the
resilience
and
the
resolve
of
the
residents
of
Western
Kentucky,
and
especially
our
people
who
work
in
this
Center
to
serve
them,
is
not
going
to
be
diminished
because
of
this
storm.
Carrie
Knott,
the
director
of
the
center
recently
said
we
are
not
closing
our
doors.
G
G
So
I
want
to
make
clear
we're,
not
closing
our
doors.
We
do
have
a
path
forward
and
we're
going
to
be
there
for
the
people
that
Carrie
and
her
colleagues
wake
up
every
morning
to
serve
so
I'm
lifted
by
this,
our
Local
Heroes
Proclaim
shortly
after
the
storms.
They
wanted
to
make
clear
make
no
mistake
about
it.
As
the
sign
says,
we
are
rebuilding
and
vice
president
Cox
and
I
will
be
on
site
next
week
to
engage
further.
H
Thank
you,
president
capilouto,
and
thanks
chairman
Tipton
for
having
us
today
since
December
10th,
we've
spent
a
lot
of
time
assessing
damage
together
with
insurance
carriers
and
taking
care
of
our
people,
who
didn't
even
have
a
place
to
put
in
their
hours
worked
because
there
was
no
office
and
machine
anymore
to
do
that,
so
most
of
our
people
lost
their
normal
workstation
and
several
others
lost
their
homes
and
two
lost
their
homes
that
were
living
on
the
station,
and
so
we
are
finding
ways
to
continue
the
research
and
service
we
provide,
as
president
capitaluto
alluded
to
so
right
now.
H
In
real
time,
we
have
crews
in
the
process
of
removing
debris,
which
will
take
some
time.
I
would
also
like
to
note
that
some
of
the
farmers
that
we
serve
and
collaborate
with
were
on
our
site
by
Saturday
morning
after
the
Friday
storms
helping
using
their
own
equipment
to
remove
debris,
we
are
working
with
equipment
suppliers
to
replace
damaged
equipment.
We
are
focused
on
trying
to
clear
the
fields
of
debris
so
that
we
can
do
our
normal
planting
and
variety
testing
and
research
projects.
H
This
spring
also,
we
have
established
a
rebuilding
committee
and
we
did
that
about
the
first
week
after
the
damage
and
we
have
temporary
office
space
for
some
staff
with
more
office
space
on
the
way
so
we'll
be
installing
Laboratories
as
well.
So
most
of
the
centers
team
will
be
able
to
work.
H
The
outpouring
of
support
from
the
community,
the
region
in
the
state
has
been
incredible
in
addition
to
the
farmers
that
lent
their
men
and
equipment,
we
have
had
offers
of
office
space
from
many
of
our
University
Partners
in
the
region
and
others
as
well.
This
this
all
collectively
hammers
home
the
point
that
the
Princeton
station
is
part
of
the
fabric
of
the
community
and
the
region,
and
we
very
much
appreciate
that
relationship
and
we
intend
to
keep
it
going.
It
won't
change
and
we
will
rebuild.
Thank
you
very
much.
G
A
Before
you
go
off
of
this
subject,
I
do
have
a
comment,
question
or
two.
Yes,
sir
I'll
make
a
comment.
As
a
young
boy,
I,
remember
the
in
the
early
1970s
I
remember
the
first
time
we
utilized
no-till
planting
of
corn
and
it's
my
understanding
that
the
Princeton
station
was
instrumental
in
that
research
and
developing
that
research,
which
is
now
a
staple
worldwide,
and
that's
the
kind
of
research
that
we're
talking
about
one
question:
was
there
any
loss
of
life
or
injuries
to
any
of
the
employees
at
the
station.
G
I'm
going
to
turn
to
Dean,
Cox
I
feel
confident
there
wasn't,
but
she
knows
more
about
what
those
families
endured.
There
were
some
near
misses.
H
Yes,
there
were,
there
were
a
couple
of
people
who
were
injured.
One
staff
member
was
fairly
severely
injured
when
his
house
was
destroyed
off
the
off
the
Princeton
campus.
H
We
also
had
a
couple
of
employees
that
attempted
to
shelter
in
the
Grain
and
forage
Center
of
Excellence.
They
came
out,
okay
with
minor
injuries.
A
couple
of
other
people
were
living
in
homes
that
were
destroyed,
but
they
survived
in
the
basement.
So
we
were
spared
the
the
devastating
loss
in
life
loss
of
life
that
many
other
counties
experienced
well.
A
That
is,
that
is,
that
is
a
blessing.
I
would
have
a
question
about
the
the
way
the
center
is
insured
and
I
know.
Many
times
has
been
my
experience
when
you
take
out
insurance
as
appreciation
and
property
values
go.
What's
where
do
you
feel
like
the
insurance
coverage
is
going
to
be?
Is
there
going
to
be
a
need
for
supplemental
funds
beyond
the
insurance
coverage
to
to
get
the
center
back
to
where
it
was
before.
H
Go
ahead,
yeah.
Thank
you.
We
are
still
negotiating
on
a
a
minute
by
minute
basis
with
our
insurance
coverage,
which
is
comprehensive,
but
you
note
a
problem.
We
have
certainly
thought
about
things,
increasing
construction
costs
and
we
we
don't
know
how
that's
going
to
come
out
yet,
but
we're
doing
everything
we
can
to
maximize
what
we
receive
from
the
insurance
coverage.
A
H
A
And
just
so,
the
members
know
I
talked
to
Dean
Cox
about
this
before
the
meeting
we're
talking
about
the
Grain
and
Ford
Center,
but
recently
I've
been
hearing
some
discussion
about
a
proposal
for
a
new
livestock
Center
for
excellence
for
the
University
of
Kentucky.
Could
you
elaborate
a
little
bit
on
that
and
share
with
us,
just
in
general,
give
us
a
brief
overview
and
what
the
cost
of
that
might
be.
Yes,.
H
So
we
are
Partners
in
a
kind
of
Novel
partnership
with
the
Kentucky
Cattlemen's
Association
and
and
that
partnership
is
that
we
will
allocate
land
on
the
Woodford
County
Farm
in
Versailles
on
Highway
60
for
the
Cattleman's
office,
and
our
memorandum
of
agreement
with
the
Cattlemen
says
that
we'll
also
work
on
a
project
together
and
that
project
together
is
really
being
handled
by
the
Cattlemen
and
the
Kentucky
livestock
Coalition
they're,
the
project
leaders
and
we're
project
partners
and
the
project
that
we
are
going
to
work
together.
H
They
we
aim
to
work
together
on
is
to
move
the
UK
meat
lab
facilities
out
to
that
site
and
design
a
pilot
processing
program
to
serve
all
the
new
beef
producers
and
livestock
processors
and
meat
companies,
so
to
speak
that
have
been
afforded
business
in
the
the
state,
as
we
have
moved
to
more
local
processing
of
livestock.
So
the
livestock
Coalition
is
a
is
a
has
a
membership
of
all
the
grain
Commodities
and
the
livestock
Commodities,
and
they
are
planning
this
project.
H
A
H
A
H
G
G
C
G
What
he
could
yield
and
I
also
have
never
forgotten
how
moved
he
was,
how
moved
I
was
when
he
said
we're
not
here
just
to
feed
Kentucky
we're
here
to
feed
the
world,
and
so
thank
you
for
raising
those
points.
I
know
you
deeply
care
and
those
questions
certainly
reveal
stuff
so
about
asset
of
preservation.
We
are
gratified
to
understand
the
efforts
you're
making
and
the
Investments
being
contemplating
contemplated
for
the
renewal
of
some
of
the
core
facilities
on
our
campus
and
throughout
higher
education
in
the
state.
G
We
would
provide
25
or
25
cents
on
the
dollar
as
a
match
so
that
we
could
optimize
the
Investments
you'd
be
willing
to
make.
So,
just
a
few
of
the
projects
we
could
particularly
take
on
I'll
mention
the
Reynolds
building,
it's
a
project
with
our
College
of
design.
It
includes
the
College
of
Agriculture,
food
and
environment
as
well.
It's
partnership
that
will
be
helpful
to
our
community
and
it
enjoys
thus
far
strong
philanthropic
support
our
Kim
Fizz,
our
and
Pence
buildings.
These
are
important,
classroom
and
workspaces
in
the
heart
of
our
campus
Funkhouser.
G
This
project
would
allow
us
to
expand
our
College
of
Engineering
to
better
meet
Kentucky's
Workforce
needs
and,
finally,
our
MDS
and
nursing
building.
It
would
be
another
project
that
would
allow
us
to
respond
to
the
desperate
need
for
additional
nurses
in
our
Commonwealth.
And,
lastly,
these
aren't
the
most
visible
things
when
you
drive
to
a
campus,
but
the
utility
infrastructure,
The
Building
Systems.
Those
are
the
sort
of
skeleton
and
nervous
system
of
a
campus.
Those
always
need
support,
and
this
would
provide
us
a
way
to
upgrade
and
modernize
those.
G
G
We
want
to
meet
the
needs
of
the
state,
it's
future
Workforce
and
its
health
care,
and
these
asset
preservation
funds
would
go
a
long
way
in
our
efforts
to
do
so.
Lastly,
you
asked
me
to
talk
about
bucks
for
brains
and
I
want
to
reflect
before
I
came
to
the
University
of
Kentucky
about
11
years
ago.
G
This
bucks
for
brains
program
captured
the
attention
in
higher
education
across
the
country
as
an
imaginative
program.
I
think
it
was
the
Envy
of
higher
education
across
the
United
States
and
at
the
University
of
Kentucky
it
has
been
transformational.
G
G
There
are
38
other
faculty
who
work
Under
the
Umbrella
of
the
Marquis
Cancer
Center
that
enjoy
support
through
the
bucks
for
brains
program.
So
what
has
been
the
result
of
that
investment
today?
Marky
is
a
designated
cancer
center
of
excellence,
the
only
one
recognized
by
the
National
Cancer
Institute.
G
It
means
that
Kentucky
has
one
of
the
top
cancer
centers
in
the
country.
In
fact,
in
each
of
the
last
five
years,
U.S
news
and
World
Report
has
ranked
the
Marquis
Cancer
Center
among
the
top
50
in
the
United
States,
and
it's
not
the
rankings
that
really
matter.
It's
really
what
the
rankings
signify
and
that
is
live
saved
communities
protected.
So
we
so
appreciate
that
support.
G
G
We
have
similar
Investments,
recruitments
and
positive
stories
in
the
areas
of
aging
and
Alzheimer's,
Fine
Arts
and
equine
research,
Cardiology
and
diabetes,
literacy
and
Engineering.
Just
to
name
a
few
so
think
of
what
else
we
could
do
and
think
of
how
those
Investments
pay
off
forever
if
we
could
make
additional
investments
in
things
like
opioid
or
Energy,
Research,
neurology
and
Parkinson's
disease,
to
name
just
but
a
few.
G
G
You
have
to
be
experts
in
a
variety
of
subjects
and
Fields,
and
you
come
prepared
every
day
with
good
questions
and
hard
work
to
advance
Kentucky
a
place
that
we
share
in
your
affection.
Every
Community.
Every
holla
in
this
state
deserves
our
support
and
attention
and
with
you,
we're
dedicated
being
that
helpful
partner.
Thank
you.
Mr
chairman.
A
Thank
you,
president
campoluto
Dean,
Cox
Bart
appreciate
you
being
here.
One
question
I
have
this:
is
my
sixth
year
serving
as
chairman
of
this
subcommittee,
this
bucks
for
brains,
asset
preservation,
have
been
on
the
request
all
that
time.
Fortunately,
we
are
in
a
situation
where
we
have
the
economy
has
grown
to
the
point.
We've
gone
through
covet
all
this,
the
the
matter
is,
we
have
more
resources
resources
to
invest
now
than
we
have
had
in
past
sessions.
G
A
So
there
was
an
initial
investment
and
I
am
well
aware
of
the
economic
situation
in
the
Commonwealth
starting
in
08,
in
that
in
that
time
period,
so
I'm
very
thankful
that
we've
been
able
to
provide
an
appropriation,
not
only
the
UK,
the
University
of
Louisville
and
their
research
efforts,
and
you
made
a
great
point
about
asset
preservation,
you're
getting
a
substantial
amount
of
funds,
but
your
need
is
still
very
great.
So
any
members
have
any
questions
for
president
representative
Fleming
has
a
question
yeah.
C
Mr
chairman
I,
want
to
ask
Dr
Cox
a
question
because
I
got
a
question
from
a
constituent
about
the
regenerative
farming
regenerative
farming.
Could
you
educate
me
on
that?
If
y'all
are
engaged
to
that
or
you're?
Looking
at
that,
my
family's
been
in
farming
Virginia
for
years,
but
obviously
I've
I've
been
have
been
involved
directly,
but
the
question
came
from
a
constituent.
I
just
want
to
see
what
the
status
or
who
you
can
tell
me
about
that.
H
Thank
you.
We
do
have
some
programs
in
kind
of
new
types
of
farming.
We
are
involved
with
several
Partnerships
right
now,
with
companies
that
grow
vegetables
and
and
other
crops
indoors
in
hydroponic
systems
that
continually
can
operate,
and
we
have
some
expertise
in
that
area.
It
has
not
been
a
pillar
of
our
efforts,
but
it
we're
we're
trying
to
respond
to
our
constituents
by
increasing
our
programs.
Okay,.
C
H
And
and
I
yes,
and
we
we
certainly
have
a
lot
of
experts
in
soils
and
we
are
increasingly
trying
to
reduce
our
need
for
fertilizer
application
and
to
let
soils.
Rest
I
didn't
quite
understand
your
question,
but
absolutely
we
are
experts
in
how
to
preserve
soils.
I
A
That
would
kind
of
line
up
when
we
had
that
economic
downturn
in
08
across
the
country
and
I've
seen
the
numbers
in
I'm
thinking
the
revenue
to
the
Commonwealth
drop
by
about
a
billion
dollars
in
that
time
period.
So
it's
taken
a
long
time
to
grow
out
of
that
and
we're
thankful
that
we're
at
a
point
now
where
we
can
start
to
read
any
other
members,
have
any
questions
at
this
time.
