A
A
Present
in
the
room,
we
will
dispense
of
the
minutes.
We
do
not
have
a
quorum,
so
I'm
gonna
have
to
do
some
recruiting
for
a
meeting.
So
we
can
just
approve
the
minutes.
One
meeting
but
we're
gonna
start
our
presentation.
This
morning
we
have
two
of
our
great
universities
here
in
the
state
of
kentucky
that
are
here
to
give
us
a
presentation
this
morning
going
to
start
off
with
eastern
kentucky
university.
So
president
mcfadden,
please
come
forward
and
whoever
you
have
with
you.
D
You,
mr
chair,
it
is
good
to
be
with
you
this
morning,
I'm
glad
to
be
here
with
my
colleague
and
friend,
dr
morgan,
two
of
kentucky's
finest
institution
serving
eastern
kentucky.
So
we're
glad
to
be
here.
I
have
with
me
this
morning,
mr
barry
poynter.
He
is
our
senior
vice
president
for
finance
and
administration.
Okay,.
A
D
Is
great
to
be
with
you
this
morning,
it's
great
to
be
with
this
committee,
and
I
first
and
foremost
want
to
start
with
a
thank
you
thanks
to
to
this
body,
to
this
committee
for
the
work
that
you
have
done
in
the
budget
that
is
passed
out
of
the
house
with
what
is
I
would
consider
record-breaking
investment
in
education
and
specifically
higher
education.
D
I
have
been
the
better
part
of
the
last
year,
10
years,
working
at
eastern
kentucky
university,
as
we
have
navigated
some
challenging
times,
we've
now
navigated,
some
challenging
times
as
it
relates
to
our
state,
as
it
relates
to
the
resources
that
are
available,
and
we've
done
so,
while
trying
to
have
a
laser
focus
on
access
and
affordability
of
higher
education.
Here
in
kentucky,
as
you
look
at
kind
of
the
profile
of
where
we
stand
this
year,
we
are
nearly
14
000
students
at
eastern
kentucky
university,
representing
118
of
120
counties
in
our
student
body.
D
This
year
we
are
number
one
for
kentucky
undergraduate
enrollment
and
we
are
number
one
for
putting
kentuckians
back
to
work
in
kentucky
communities.
That
is
something
we
take
a
great
deal
of
pride
in
and
something
that
we
feel
like.
We
hope
is
of
value
to
this
body
and
to
the
commonwealth
of
kentucky.
D
Still
today,
43
percent
of
our
undergraduate
student
population
are
the
first
in
their
family
to
go
to
college.
That
is
my
story.
I
am
a
native
appalachian
son,
who
was
the
first
in
my
family
to
go
to
college
and
eku
is
my
alma
mater.
It
was
a
life-changing
transformative
experience
and
we
continue
to
do
that
today.
For
nearly
half
of
our
student
body.
D
We
just
finished
an
economic
impact
study
at
eku.
It
represented
almost
600
million
dollars,
an
annual
economic
impact
to
our
local,
regional
and
state-wide
economy.
I
think
sometimes
as
university
presidents
as
as
those
who
are
ambassadors
for
education,
we
don't
often
talk
about
the
economic
impact
of
our
institutions,
so
I
want
this
body
to
understand
that
we
are
here
doing
our
level
best
every
day
to
power,
kentucky's
economy
and
to
be
responsive
to
the
things
that
we
are
trying
to
do
together
to
grow
kentucky.
D
This
year
we
were
fortunate
to
see
a
nearly
10
percent
increase
in
new
student
enrollment
at
eastern
kentucky
university.
That's
new
freshmen
new
transfer
students.
I've
not
had
a
chance
to
cross-reference
all
of
the
other
institutions,
but
I
do
think
that
this
this
is
probably
the
largest
increase
of
the
public
institutions
for
new
student
enrollment.
For
this.
For
this
past
10-year
period,
we've
seen
a
nearly
50
50
increase
in
stem
h
degree
production.
D
We
have
been
laser
focused
on
our
stem
h,
degree
programs,
and
we
are
very
thankful
of
this
body
as
we
have
a
as
you
funded
our
state
of
the
art
science
facility
nearly
10
years
ago.
It
has
made
an
impact,
on
that
degree
production
to
power.
Our
communities
we've
seen
about
a
25
percent
increase
and
underrepresented
minority
degree
awarded
over
the
last
five
years.
That
has
been
a
big
focus
for
us
as
we
continue
to
serve
our
kentucky
communities.
We
make.
D
We
need
to
make
sure
that
it
is
representative
of
our
kentucky
communities,
and
that
is
something
that
is
top
of
mind
for
us
as
an
institution,
and
if
you
haven't
heard,
we
launched
our
book
smart
program
a
year
ago,
and
that
is
at
eastern
tech
university.
We
are
the
only
public
institution
in
the
state
and
one
of
very
few
in
the
nation
where
textbooks
and
materials
are
completely
free
for
all
undergraduate
students
on
campus
online
anywhere.
D
D
The
pandemic
put
a
very
sharp
point
on
the
need
that
our
students
have,
and
it
made
us
realize
that
this
is
a
burden
that
we
could
alleviate
for
them,
that
we
could
go
out
and
make
this
investment,
and
do
it
better
than
them
that
on
day,
one
everyone
had
started
the
race
in
the
same
position.
No
one
was
behind,
and
so
that
was.
That
is
what
we
committed
to
and
we
felt
like.
It
spoke
to
the
notion
of
being
kentucky
school
of
opportunity.
D
I'm
going
to
transition,
mr
chair
into
a
few
things
that
was
asked
to
talk
about.
I
want
to
start
on
asset
preservation.
Here's
a
real
picture
of
our
underground
steam
system.
We
we
have
struggled
with
with
steam
and
heat
this
this
winter
season.
We
have
a
campus
that
largely
had
an
a
boom
of
growth
over
60
years
ago,
and
much
of
that
infrastructure,
that's
in
the
ground
in
the
walls
inside
of
our
facilities,
has
not
been
touched
during
that
period
of
time
we
we
have
now
about
1
billion
dollars
in
total,
deferred
maintenance.
D
D
First,
focusing
on
the
useful
life
of
our
facilities
and
trying
to
make
sure
that
the
investments
that
have
been
made
continue
to
reap
benefit.
It
is
not
our
intention
to
to
try
to
do
new
construction
across
our
campus.
It
is
our
intention
to
be
good
stewards
of
the
investment
that
has
been
made
to
make
sure
that
those
facilities
we
have
can
continue
in
good
working
order.
Hvac
replacements,
steam
infrastructure
upgrades
we've
got
about
30
million
dollars
in
just
steam
work.
D
That
needs
to
be
done,
and
that
is
not
something
that,
once
that
work
is
done,
that
anyone
will
come
to
campus
and
see
a
difference,
but
they
will
surely
feel
a
difference,
and
that
is
that
is
very
important.
Plumbing
and
electrical
upgrades,
elevator
repairs
and
roof
replacements,
so
largely
looking
at
that
billion
dollars,
it
is
all
contained
within
those
those
core
areas
of
asset
preservation
for
our
institution.
D
Alumni
coliseum
is
a
capital
project
that
has
been
for
has
been
approved
by
this
body
as
a
general
fund
bond
supported
project.
This
facility
is
the
front
door
to
eastern
kentucky
university
constructed
in
1963.
It
is
an
easy
it's
a
regional
economic
driver
for
us.
We
just
hosted
the
all
a
classic
boys
and
girls
a
great
week
in
the
city
of
richmond,
where
we
were
hosting
kentucky's,
smallest
schools
from
across
the
state
and
a
lot
of
excitement
in
our
community.
It
is
also
where
we
do
all
student
orientation.
D
It
is
where
our
student
success
center
for
our
student
athletes
and
for
those
who
are
looking
for
tutoring
services
resides,
and
we
also
have
hands-on
teaching
and
laboratory
spaces
there
for,
for
our
nationally
recognized
athletic
training
and
sports
for
performance
programs.
It
is
also
the
home
of
eku
athletics,
but
I
want
you
to
understand.
This
is
an
institutional
investment.
We
we
conduct
our
graduation
ceremonies
in
this
space
and
it
is
one
that
is
in
desperate
need
of
investment.
D
We
have
what
is
affectionately
called
the
hoosier
walls
at
in
this
facility,
which
means
there
is
a
about
a
two
and
a
half
foot
wall
that
keeps
the
crowd
away
from
the
floor
about
two
months
ago.
We
had
a
hvac
failure
over
the
weekend
in
that
facility,
we
were
about
an
inch
and
a
half
from
having
that
entire
facility
flooded,
had
it
not
been
for
those
walls,
and
so
we
are
doing
our
level
best
to
invest
in
that
space.
D
But
we
are
very
grateful
for
the
the
investment
that
the
state
has
prioritized
to
make
an
alumni
coliseum.
The
other
project
that
is
that
is
in
the
budget
that
we
have
advocated
for
for
some
time
now,
is
the
model
commonwealth
lab
school.
It
was
established
in
1906,
we
have
about
700
students,
there
a
100
graduation
rate
and
a
nearly
100
college
going
rate.
I
will
tell
you
that,
while
this
will
make
a
strategic
impact
in
the
lives
and
the
experience
of
those
students
in
that
space,
that
is
not
why
the
lab
school
exists.
D
The
lab
school
exists
as
a
laboratory
environment
for
clinical
experiences
for
our
pre-service
teachers,
for
our
mental
health
professionals
and
our
school
psychologists
for
our
occupational
therapists
for
our
nursing
students.
It
is
a
critical
part
of
the
clinical
experience
in
a
k-12
setting
for
so
many
of
the
degrees
that
eastern
kentucky
university
is
known
for,
and
so
the
investment
in
this
space
will
allow
us
to
have
a
safe
school,
a
school
that
is,
that
is
going
to
hopefully
start
to
set
some
standards
on
how
we
we
manage
school
safety.
D
We
are
going
to
be
focused
on
how
we
develop
curriculum,
how
we
serve
teachers
and
how
we
hopefully
solve
some
big
complex
problems
from
an
education
perspective
in
this
state,
the
the
largest
of
which
is
is
the
shortage
of
teachers
that
we
are
facing
here.
In
kentucky
representative
fleming,
we
were,
we
were
happy
to
have
you
on
campus,
and
I
know
that
the
aviation
caucus
has
taken
a
great
interest
in
kentucky's,
only
four-year
flight
program
at
eastern
kentucky
university.
D
It's
something
we're
very
proud
of,
and
we're
very
grateful
to
this
body
for
the
financial
investment
that
has
been
made
in
that
program.
Over
the
last
several
years
we
are
currently
sitting
at
330
students,
nearly
at
capacity
for
the
flight
program
with
271
pro
flight
majors,
59,
aerospace
management
and
technology
majors.
We
flew
almost
16
000
hours
this
past
year.
D
If
you
look
up
in
and
around
madison
clark,
faye
at
jasmine
counties,
you're
going
to
probably
see
a
cessna
172
flying
around
with
that
eku
brand
on
it
as
we're
training
the
pilots
of
tomorrow,
which,
for
us
looking
at
what
kentucky
what
is
powering
our
economy,
aerospace
and
aviation
is
number
one,
and
we
want
to
continue
to
be
a
be
a
part
of
that.
A
99
post,
graduation
employment
rate.
D
I
think
the
one
percent
have
just
opted
to
take
a
take
a
little
break,
it's
not
for
for
lack
of
demand,
and
then
we
are
focused.
Our
next
generation
focus
is
on
unmanned
aerial
systems
and
that
concentration
will
be
launching
in
2022..
D
There
is
a
budget
requesting
here
to
reauthorize
a
small
portion
of
the
8
million
dollars
that
was
approved
by
by
the
body
two
years
ago,
due
to
some
changes
in
cost
of
of
construction
and
some
other
things
we
are
set
to
to
build
a
new
flight
training
center
at
the
central
kentucky
regional
airport.
It's
about
a
million
dollars
that
was
already
appropriated.
D
It
just
needs
to
be
reauthorized
so
that
we
can
put
those
funds
into
the
construction
of
the
of
the
facility
versus
the
operations
of
the
of
the
program
I
kind
of
touched
on
that
a
little
bit.
We
do
have
16
aircraft
acquisitions
that
have
happened
with
that
that
eight
million
dollars
and
the
fleet
now
stands
at
27..
D
We
are
currently
looking
to
stand
up
a
secondary
temporary
training
facility
and
we
are
working
with
a
couple
of
different
airports,
kind
of
in
close
proximity
to
the
central
kentucky
regional
airport.
To
make
that
a
possibility,
I
would
encourage
and
and
be
thankful
for
the
fact
that
we
are
fully
supportive
of
the
cpe
comprehensive
budget.
Ask
as
it
relates
to
to
asset
preservation,
performance
funding
and
the
the
capital
investment
in
our
campuses.
D
We
are
also
very
thankful
for
the
pension
subsidy
funds
that
have
been
provided
to
fully
fund
the
pension
obligation
in
kers
for
us
for
the
next
two
years,
mr
poynter
has
been
with
the
university
for
17
years
now,
serving
as
our
senior
vice
president
for
finance
and
administration.
D
He
can
tell
you
how
challenging
it
has
been
to
manage
this
pension
crisis,
and
I
want
to
thank
everyone
here
for
your
thoughtful
and
committed
way
in
which
we've
tried
to
address
this
and
put
a
sustainable
future
in
place
for
all
those
who
have
have
a
pension
and
for
all
those
who
have
yet
to
come
to
be
a
part
of
our
institution.
Mr
chair
I'll,
I
will
yield
back
to
you.
A
Thank
you,
president
mcfadden.
I
would
like
to
touch
a
little
bit
about
about
model
school.
I
think
you
currently,
I
think,
if
I
saw
six
close
to
700
students
under
the
new
plan,
what
will
be
the
capacity
of
the
school
for
students
and
also
what's
the
projection,
complete
completion
date
and
while
the
school's
under
I
understand
you're,
going
to
tear
down
the
existing
school
and
rebuild?
What
is
the
plan
for
the
school
during
that
transition?.
D
Yeah,
so
in
addressing
the
the
overall
enrollment,
we
currently
run
two
classes
per
grade
in
model
lab
and
I'll
be
honest.
That
is
not
enough
of
flexibility
in
the
per-grade
classroom
instruction
to
really
bring
in
what
I
would
consider
some
really
innovative
practices
that
we
could
test
for.
First,
so
we're
going
to
try
to
go
to
three
grades,
three
classes
per
grade
from
p
through
12.,
so
this
also
includes
our
barrier
pre-k
program.
D
So
we
will
be
getting
everything
from
our
two-year-olds
all
the
way
through
our
graduating
seniors
into
this
facility
from
a
laboratory
setting
space.
So
we
will
probably
be
somewhere
in
the
1100
student
range
once
we're
once
we're
fully
operational,
which
will
allow
us
to
then
be
able
to
bring
some
of
those
what
we
call
specials
into
each
of
those
grades.
D
Some
of
the
things
that
are
underpinnings
to
that
that
the
education
we're
putting
there
is
that
we're
bringing
world
languages
into
kindergarten
students
at
modera
are
getting
a
world
language
experience
in
that
early
stage,
we're
bringing
performing
arts
and
performance
opportunities
for
students
into
those
early
grades.
So
they
can
have
the
experiences
we're
doing
coding.
D
My
my
kindergartener
is
doing
coding
on
a
one-to-one
apple
ipad,
and
so
I
think
that,
as
we
look
at
where
we're
going
as
a
state,
the
economy
that
we're
building
and
how
kentucky
will
compete,
that
the
more
that
we
can
try
to
replicate
some
of
those
things
that
we're
doing
there.
Some
will
work
and
some
will
not,
and
we
understand
that
we
are
definitely
pushing
forward.
As
far
as
construction
goes.
D
You
know
we
don't
want
to
be
too
presumptive,
so
we
have
not
started
full
architectural
renderings
for
the
facility,
but
we
do
have
some
conceptual
drawings,
as
we've
scored
out
the
the
investment
in
the
facility
for
those
who
have
been
there
model
lab
sits
prominently
on
the
corner
of
the
the
robert
r
martin
bypass
and
lancaster
avenue,
which
is
really
the
entrance
to
campus.
We
do
have
a
large
green
space
in
which
the
is
the
really
the
the
playground
and
fields
for
model
lab.
That's
in
that
space,
it
is
currently
our
intention
to
do.
D
Construction
on
the
green
space
school
will
operate
normally
during
that
period
of
time.
We
will
then
proceed
with
the
demolition
of
the
facility
once
the
new
facility
is
up
and
running.
B
No,
not
really
a
question,
mr
just
want
to
make
a
comment.
If
I
may,
I
just
want
to
say
how
proud
I
am
for
both
of
the
institutions
here
today.
Actually
I'm
an
alumni
of
both
of
them,
and
I
just
and
I
appreciate
now.
I
know
what
I'm
going
to
hear
in
a
moment
from
morehead
the
the
focus
on
the
success
of
students,
and
that
is
that
is
when
you
start
talking
that
language
and
you
not
only
talk
at
you,
you
back
that
up
and
show
how
that's
happening.
B
I'm
just
so
pleased
to
hear
that
still
going
on
today.
So
thank
you
for
being
here.
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
A
E
A
On
our
program
today
is
morehead
state
university.
So
president
morgan,
please
come
forward
and
everyone
introduce
yourself
and
and
then
we
will
swirl
you
in.
E
Well
good
morning,
mr
chair,
and
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
present
this
morning.
While
we
queue
up
the
slides,
my
name
is
jay.
Morgan
president
of
morehead
state
university
and
to
my
left
is
dr
carol
christian,
who
is
the
director
of
our
craft
academy,
which
we'll
hear
about
in
a
little
bit
and
to
my
left
is
kim
oatman,
who
is
our
assistant
vice
president
for
facilities
and
operations,
and
really
our
chief
engineer
so.
A
E
E
E
Mr
chairman,
the
the
request
of
you
as
chair
and
the
committee
this
morning
is
to
discuss
a
little
bit
about
and
I'm
not
sure
if
we're
showing
on
the
slides
down
front.
So.
E
While
they're
working
on
getting
the
slides
queued
up-
and
I
want
to
make
sure
our
individual
representatives
in
the
virtual
audience
can
see
these,
the
request
of
the
committee
this
morning
was
to
discuss
a
little
bit
about
the
university's
capital
project
request
our
highest
request
number
two
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
asset
preservation
needs
of
the
university.
E
We
have
modeled
our
master
plan
for
our
facilities,
really
after
a
very
simple
three
hours
number
one.
We
want
to
repair
and
take
very
good
care
of
the
assets
of
the
com
commonwealth,
our
existing
campus
facilities,
much
like
dr
mcfadden
and
eku
and
the
other
universities.
We
have
a
variety
of
needs
there
that
have
built
up
in
deferred
maintenance
over
time
number
two,
mr
chairman
and
committee.
We
also
have
undertook
over
the
about
the
past
four
years.
E
Mr
chairman,
our
our
number
one
capital
project
request
is
a
request
to
the
general
assembly
to
construct
a
new
science
and
engineering
building.
This
is
a
98
million
dollar
request
and,
to
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
it,
our
current
facility
right
now
and
I'll
show
you
a
picture
in
a
couple
of
minutes
was
built
in
1937
and
you'll,
see
it
on
the
next
slide.
E
Should
we
be
lucky
enough
to
be
funded
for
a
building
like
this?
We
believe
we
have
the
land
already
ready,
so
there's
no
land
acquisition
cost.
So
we
believe
that
that,
from
that
perspective,
that
reduces
some
cost
on
us.
E
So
this
is
probably
not
an
actual
picture
of
a
building,
but
nevertheless
I
wanted
to
provide
you
with
something
to
to
see
what
it
might
look
like
very
simple
in
design,
and
we
want
to
maximize
the
space
because
we
have
to
eventually
move
our
students
out
of
this
1937
building
from
our
count
and
again,
this
is
a
very
rough
count.
We
have
the
oldest
science
building
among
the
post-secondary,
ed
institutions
in
kentucky
many
of
the
other
ones
by
virtue
of
just
our
online
research
have
been
built
in
the
past
20
to
25
years.
E
It's
been
a
beautiful
old
building,
but
I
underlined
the
word
old
and
we
believe
our
students
would
benefit
by
moving
forward
with
a
brand
new
science
and
engineering
building
backing
that
up
really
has
been
a
very
transformative
measure
at
morehead
state,
where
our
number
of
students
in
stem
plus
age
programs
over
the
past
decade
have
increased
50,
60,
70
percent.
So
we
have
seen
a
dramatic
swing
from
a
lot
of
reasons
on
servicing
stem
students
and
stem
plus
health.
E
So
we
believe
that
a
stem
plus,
h
or
stem
engineering
building
going
forth
is
our
way
forward,
moving
very
briefly
to
asset
preservation
and-
and
the
stories
probably
the
same.
If,
if
you've
heard
from
other
institutions
and
are
likely
to
hear
in
the
succeeding
weeks,
we
have
roofs
hvac
systems
that
have
served
the
campus
well,
a
number
of
our
buildings
were
built
in
the
60s
and
70s
80s.
So
you
can
calculate
that
time
span
30
40
years
and
it's
time
for
roofs.
It's
time
for
hvac
equipment,
steam
tunnels
need
repair.
E
E
We
need
to
work
on
there,
building
facades
that
that
have
cracks
in
them,
and
I
could
give
you
a
list
much
like
the
other
institutions
that
that
would
be
several
several
pages
long
within
that
request,
mr
chairman,
is,
is
something
I
briefly
mentioned
to
you
and
in
some
of
our
conversations
is
really
also
presenting
this
in
a
lens
of
not
only
how
we
can
use
these
potential
dollars
of
allocation
on
academic
buildings.
But
how
can
we
use
them
to
upgrade
our
residence
halls
at
morehead
state
university?
E
We
own
a
hundred
percent
of
our
residence
hall
stock.
Much
of
it
was
built
in
the
60s
and
70s.
We
do
have
some
built
in
the
30s
and
40s,
but
many
of
those
halls
at
this
present
time
have
the
same
needs
that
you
see
on
the
screen
here
and
one
of
the
requests
that
I'd
like
to
briefly
mention
to
you
this
morning
is
consideration
of
some
clarifying
language,
potentially
in
a
conference
committee
or
a
budget
bill.
As
we
spoke
chairman
tipton.
E
E
E
E
They
average
about
a
30
a.c.t
and
the
gpas
are
much
better
than
my
gpa
was
when,
when
I
went
to
high
school
and
college
as
well,
these
students
live
and
learn
on
our
campus,
but
they
also
matriculate
and
are
involved
in
very
critical
internships
in
the
stem
pledge,
plus
h
fields
in
kentucky
and
you'll,
find
them
scattered
across
companies,
governmental
agencies,
in
a
variety
of
other
areas,
all
through
kentucky
and
even
outside
kentucky.
We
have
students
who
intern
at
jet
propulsion,
laboratory
nasa
and
many
other
places.
E
We
now
have
students
who
are
embedded
in
medical
schools,
dental
schools
and
a
variety
of
other
graduate
programs
who
have
graduated
over
the
prior
couple
of
years.
Also
so
much
like
the
gatton
academy,
it's
a
wonderful
way
to
invest
in
high
performing
very
aspiring
students
who
are
going
to
be
the
future
of
our
commonwealth,
going
forward
in
stem
plus
age
and
really
fuel
our
economy.
E
The
the
next
slide
is
is
one
just
to
give
you
a
pictorial
of
the
students
who
have
been
to
the
craft
academy.
You
can
see
in
the
blue,
the
students
who
have
come
to
the
academy
on
our
campus.
They
all
do
extremely
well
and
our
academy
leans
very
heavily
toward
the
eastern
half
of
our
state
is
exhibited
in
the
blue
and
naturally
our
sister
academy.
E
Speaking
of
of
the
two
great
academies
in
kentucky,
the
the
kraft
academy
and
the
gatton
academy
and
gatton
academy
does
great
work
as
well.
One
of
our
goals
and
aspirations
is
to
have
the
funding
for
the
craft
academy
at
morehead
state
equalized
to
the
funding
of
the
gatton
academy.
We
we
believe
that
that
they
should
be
equalized
in
funding.
E
So
we
believe
that,
after
roughly
five
to
six
years
of
very
successful
classes
that
we
could
be
ready
for
that
additional
growth,
we
believe
that,
with
just
some
minor
modifications
that
we
can
shift
some
of
our
residential
halls
around
to
accommodate
that
growth
and
we'd
love
to
we'd
love.
To
have
that
consideration
going
forward.
E
Mr
chairman,
in
in
ending
this
and
we'll
certainly
open
it
up
for
questions.
I
too
much
like
my
predecessor
presenting
today,
want
to
thank
you
and
others,
and
the
full
general
assembly
for
considering
us
for
asset
preservation,
we're
very
supportive
of
dr
thompson
and
his
request
to
fully
fund
the
performance
funding
model.
E
A
Thank
you,
mr
president,
appreciate
your
presentation
and
all
the
fine
work
you're
doing
on
behalf
of
your
students
at
morehead
state
university.
One
quick
comment
about
the
craft
academy:
I've
had
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
attend
the
graduation.
I've
had
some
constituents
and
families
that
I
know
who
have
had
children
who
have
graduated.
So
I
appreciate
that
opportunity.
Actually
one
of
my
constituents,
who
is
a
craft
academy
graduates
actually
working
over
in
the
capitol
in
the
senate,
this
time
working
with
them
over
there
in
the
senate,
so
he
has
continued
to
excel.
A
On
the
your
comments
you
just
made
on
performance-based
funding,
I
believe
in
talking
to
cpe
that,
in
order
to
get
to
the
equilibrium,
their
recommendation,
I
believe,
was
around
67
million
year,
one
around
90
million
in
year.
Two
just
to
remind
the
members.
A
few
years
ago
we
started
having
this
question.
When
we
went
into
performance-based
funding,
we
had
seen
large
student
growth
numbers
at
nku
and
wku.
A
A
On
a
lighter
note,
you
mentioned
elevators,
there
are
a
few
elevators
here
in
the
capital
and
capital
annex
that
occasionally
makes
strange
noises
so.
A
A
B
Again,
just
make
a
comment,
if
I
may,
mr
chair,
I
want
to
again
echo
what
I
said
earlier
appreciate
what
what
you're
doing
what
you
have
done
and
what
and
the
future
it
holds
out
for
the
students.
What
I
heard
most
of
your
conversation
about
is
what
I
really
like
to
hear
as
the
students
success
and
continuous
success
and
again
as
another
alumni
of
morehead
state
as
well,
so
I
appreciate
what
you're
doing
and
and
please
keep
up
the
great
work.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
representative.
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
F
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
First
of
all,
mr
president,
let
me
just
say
I
feel
of
all
of
the
universities
outside
of
kentucky
state
university.
F
I
basically
feel
connected
to
moorhead
as
well,
and
I
say
that
because
of
the
fact
that
you
serve
a
different
group
of
kind
of
kids,
and
I
don't
mean
that
in
a
negative
way,
is
that
you
emphasize
that
many
of
your
students
come
from
eastern
kentucky
of
which
their
families
are
are,
are
working
very
hard
and
some
are
disabled
but
they're
trying
to
push
their
kids
like
all
parents.
They
want
their
kids
to
do
better
than
what
they
did
and
that
university
serves
that
purpose.
F
That
was
the
reason
and
the
the
foundation
by
which
it
was
created
to
help
uplift
that
region
of
the
state.
So
I
applaud
what
moorhead
is
doing.
I
also
want
to
say,
with
the
academy,
the
craft
academy,
I
hope
that
we
are
able
to
provide
those
additional
spots,
because
if
ever
there
was
a
time
in
which
those
spots
need
to
be
increased.
F
Primarily,
you
know
going
in
a
different
direction
and
not
being
able
to
employ
more
people.
F
My
question
is
this:
as
these
kids
are
coming
into
the
craft
academy,
the
percentage
of
students
once
they
complete
that
are
they
transitioning
most
of
them,
staying
at
the
university
or
how?
How
is
that
coming
about?
For
you
all.
E
Good
good
question
and
thank
you
for
your
comments,
representative.
Speaking
of
your
question
around
the
craft
academy
and
I'll.
Let
our
expert,
dr
christian,
next
to
me,
chime
in
if
I
maybe
steer
off
course,
but
we
keep
roughly
upon
completion
of
the
academy
about
a
third
of
the
students
at
morehead
state
university.
E
E
There
was
a
little
two-pager
that
we
can
get
to
you
electronically,
that
exhibits
where
these
students,
who
graduate
from
the
academy
matriculate
ii,
many
of
them
wind
up
at
the
university
of
kentucky
and
the
university
of
louisville
because
of
some
of
their
interest
in
going
on
to
professional
schools
or
graduate
schools
there,
we
do
have
a
number
of
students
that
that
also
go
to
vanderbilt
ohio
state.
That's
a
good
school.
It
is.
E
E
The
ohio
state,
some
also
you
know,
we'll
go
back
home
to
western
kentucky
to
go
to
school
at
wku
or
murray
or
elsewhere,
so
within
that
the
majority
of
them
stay
in
kentucky,
dr
christian
I'll,
let
you
speak
maybe
on
a
statistic
or
two
of
how
many
matriculate
further
into
post-secondary
education.
I
know
it's
extremely
high.
C
Thank
you
to
answer
some
of
the
things
that
you've
asked
about
in
five
years
of
graduating
classes,
we're
proud
to
say
that
we
have
100
of
our
students
go
on
to
college.
It
takes
three
to
three
and
a
half
years
for
them
to
complete
the
undergraduate
degree
after
they
leave
us
that
is
consistent
with
gatton
and
in
our
years
since
the
first
class
and
second
class
we're
graduating,
we
have
98
percent
of
our
students,
completing
an
undergraduate
degree
and
the
other
others
are
still
in
progress.
C
75
percent
of
our
students
come
from
east
kentucky
and,
as
our
first
classes
are
graduating
and
getting
jobs
right
now,
75
percent
of
the
data
that
we
have
they
are
being
employed
in
kentucky
or
pursuing
graduate
degrees
in
kentucky
we're
proud
to
say
in
a
short
amount
of
time,
we've
covered
a
lot
of
ground.
We
have
five
students
in
medical
school,
one's
completed
a
law
degree
21
pursuing
a
degree
in
the
space
science
industry.
C
We
encourage
our
students
that,
as
they
graduate
and
go
forth
and
do
great
things
to
come
back
and
be
employed
in
kentucky
to
impact
the
economic
development
and
or
whatever
job
you
pursue,
always
keep
kentucky
in
your
heart
and
come
back.
They
could
be
in
another
state
as
joe
craft
is,
but
come
back
and
they're
still
impacting
kentucky,
and
our
kids
are
doing
just
that.
So
we
appreciate
the
support
that
you
give
us.
I
appreciate
the
leadership
of
dr
morgan
at
morehead
state
university,
because
the
best
is
yet
to
be.
F
Well
and
that's
great-
and
I
do
hope-
and
I
know
every
kid
has
their
own
desires
in
terms
of
their
future,
but
the
investment-
hopefully
they
will
come
back
and
and
give
back
to
the
area
in
which
they
were
born
and
reared.
In
so,
and
I
appreciate
the
service
that
you
are
providing
to
those
young
people
and
congratulate
you
on
the
work
that
is
being
done.
Thank
you
all.
A
President
morgan,
I
didn't
ask
you
to
come
prepared,
but
I'm
confident
you'll
be
able
to
answer
this
question.
Could
you
elaborate
a
little
bit
about
people?
Don't
realize
the
impact,
aerospace
and
aeronautics
have
in
kentucky?
Could
you
elaborate
a
little
bit
about
your
successes
at
moorhead
and
where
that's
going.
E
So
it's
hard
to
believe
that
that
a
program
in
northeastern
kentucky
can
be
known
around
the
world
in
in
the
circles
that
it
is
right.
Now
we
have
roughly
two
to
three
hundred
space
science
students
and
those
come
in
a
variety
of
different
forms.
Some
come
true
space
science,
some
come
space
systems,
engineering
some
will
come
through
a
physics
route,
but
as
they
all
kind
of
feed
through
a
lens
of
the
space
science
theme,
really
we're
we're
funding
this
program
with
dollars
that
come
from
outside
the
state
of
kentucky
our
university.
E
E
That
second
dish
will
allow
us
to
almost
double
the
number
of
contracts
that
we
bring
to
the
university
now
mind
you,
these
contracts
don't
come
from
down
the
road
they
come
from
florida.
They
come
from
washington,
d.c,
they
come
from
california
and
abroad,
and
those
are
dollars
that
are
flowing
into
our
universities
and
funding
a
very
expensive
program
there.
E
We
do
invest
some
of
our
university
dollars
into
the
program,
some
of
the
teaching
aspects,
but
in
addition
to
those
what
will
soon
to
be
two
satellite
dishes
behind
our
university
just
to
the
right
of
the
buildings
in
the
picture,
we
also
have
been
exercising
contracts
with
nasa
jet
propulsion
lab
and
others
to
build
a
number
of
spacecraft,
one
of
which
is
the
lunar
ice
cube.
E
You
actually
see
that,
if
you've
gotten
one
of
your
rural
utility
magazines
lately,
depending
on
what
utility
district
you're
in
we
were
featured
in
the
front
cover
and
also
in
kentucky
living
as
well,
the
lunar
ice
cube
is
was
scheduled
to
be
launched
about
a
month
ago
from
cape
canaveral
in
florida.
That
has
been
pushed
back
by
nasa
now
into
mid-april,
but
nevertheless
morehead
state
university
constructed
and
built
the
lunar
ice
cube,
which
is
a
spacecraft
that
will
go
and
orbit
the
moon.
E
We
also
collect
data
using
the
satellites
that
you
see
there
and
we'll
be
buying
for
future
contracts
to
build
additional
spacecraft
going
forward.
The
spin-off
effect
of
that
beyond
our
four
corners
of
campus
and
I've
spoke
a
little
bit
about
the
dollars
that
flow
to
us
and
allow
us
to
employ
our
students
and
give
them
valuable
experience.
E
The
spin-off
effect,
mr
chairman
and
committee,
is
we're
beginning
to
see
private
companies
pop
up
around
our
area
of
the
state.
They
hire
our
graduates.
They
hire
a
lot
of
our
graduates
and
they're
very
pleased
with
them.
The
reagent
corporation
is
one
that
comes
to
mind
very
quickly.
We
send
a
lot
of
students
to
space
tango
in
lexington
and
there
are
others
as
well.
We
also
keep
a
number
of
them
at
the
university
so
as
more
and
more
companies
begin
to
come
in
as
contracts
flow
from
outside
our
state.
