A
Good
morning
we'll
go
ahead
and
get
started.
We
have
a
few
people
will
probably
come
here
in
a
few
minutes
to
get
several
meetings
going
on,
not
to
call
I'd
like
to
good
morning
and
welcome
out
to
call
the
fourth
meeting
a
budget
review
subcommittee
on
post-secondary
education
order.
Please
call
the
road.
A
Okay,
we'll
forgo
them
approval
the
minutes
and
like
to
ask
Dr
McFadden
from
hku
to
come
on
up
and
introduce
yourself.
Then
I'll
swear
again.
That's
okay!.
B
C
I've
got
a
late
Edition
here
with
me.
My
senior
vice
president
for
finance
and
administration
Mr
Barry
Poynter
is
going
to
be
with
me
this
morning.
Just
in
case
we've
got
any
specific
questions
about
some
of
our
capital
projects
that
we're
working
on.
Thank.
A
C
All
right
well
good
morning,
everyone,
it
is
good
to
be
here
with
you
and
we're
gonna
try
to
keep
it.
Peppy
I
know
that
there's
a
Thai
calendar
today
and
the
days
are
waning
in
this
short
session.
So
we
are.
We
are
grateful
to
be
here
with
you
and
to
give
a
bit
of
update
on
EKU
and
on
the
status
of
particularly
our
Capital
renewal.
Our
asset
preservation
fees
that
the
general
assembly
has
invested
in
the
institution.
I
want
to
start
with
saying
thank
you
to
the
general
assembly.
C
I
want
to
say
a
special
thank
you
to
you,
chairman
McCool,
for
your
continued
support
of
our
public
post-secondary
institutions
as
you've
moved
into
the
role
of
chair
post-secondary
budget
review.
We
look
forward
to
working
together
as
we
move
the
Commonwealth
forward
through
higher
education.
As
you
can
see
a
little
update
about
EKU,
you
can
see
we're
right
at
14,
500
students.
We
saw
a
2.3
percent
increase
in
overall
enrollment
this
year.
85
percent
of
our
undergraduates
are
from
Kentucky
that
puts
us
amongst
the
top
public
serving
institutions
in
the
State.
C
You
can
see
that
our
freshman
transfer
class
was
over
3
600.
That
was
a
33.7
percent
increase
of
total
transfer
and
freshmen
this
past
year,
with
an
average
student
GPA
of
3.40,
our
faculty
student
ratio,
as
as
we
think
about
serving
students
and
meeting
them
where
they're
at
having
that
low
faculty
to
student
ratio
is
something
we
take
a
lot
of
pride
in
that
our
faculty
of
record.
The
experts
are
in
the
classroom,
teaching
our
students
every
day,
as
we
think
about
serving
our
students.
C
I
always
want
to
highlight
the
fact
that
you
know
we
are
investing
in
our
students
success,
91
million
dollars
in
financial
aid
distributed
to
our
student
body
this
past
year.
We
are
the
only
institution
in
the
Commonwealth
where
textbooks
for
all
undergraduate
students
are
free
on
campus
online
anywhere
and
I
will
tell
you
personally
being
a
first
generation
college
student
who
went
to
Eastern
Kentucky
University
that
the
cost
of
textbooks
were
a
barrier
for
a
lot
of
students.
Many
students
choosing
to
think
about
what
it
is.
C
They
could
major
in
based
on
the
type
of
books.
They
could
afford
many
students
trying
to
make
it
through
without
having
the
necessary
course
materials
to
be
successful.
We
do
not
want
that
to
stand
in
the
way
of
their
opportunity,
and
so
we
have
made
that
investment,
and
it
is
one
we
we
hope
to
continue
to
invest
in
our
merit-based.
C
Scholarships
continue
to
support
our
students,
who
are
academically
performing
well
and
I,
want
to
say
a
big
thanks
to
the
general
assembly
for
their
increased
support
of
keys
and
cap
and
other
funds
that
support
students
here
in
the
Commonwealth
94
of
our
graduates
when
we
speak
with
them
six
months
after
graduation
say
both
are
satisfied
with
their
career
choice
and
feel
prepared
to
be
successful
in
in
the
work
that
they're
doing.
I.
C
When
legislators
see
presidents
coming,
they
wonder
what
are
we
going
to
ask
for
next
and,
and
so
there's
there's
definitely
a
lot
of
needs,
but
there's
a
lot
of
good
that
we're
doing
with
those
Investments
and
so
looking
at
EKU,
our
our
employment
rates,
how
we're
powering
our
communities
through
the
types
of
degrees
that
we
produce,
but
also
the
580
million
dollar
annual
economic
impact
of
our
institution,
not
just
in
the
community
that
we're
in
but
really
across
the
Commonwealth
as
a
whole,
and
so
as
we
think
about
the
degrees
that
we
produce
those
who
work
in
the
health
care
Fields.
C
Those
who
work
in
education,
those
who
are
working
in
public
safety,
those
who
are
really
on
the
front
lines
of
making
our
communities
great.
That's
what
we
do
and
we're
very
proud
of
that,
and
we're
excited
to
continue
that
work
well
into
the
future.
A
few
things
that
really
stand
out
for
what
we
do
best
risk
management
insurance.
We
were
ranked
number
one
in
the
U.S
last
year
for
risk
management
insurance.
C
That
is
an
outstanding
program
and
it
is
one
where
our
students
are
are
employed
long
before
they
graduate
there's
a
great
placement
rate
amongst
those
students
number
one
best
RN
to
BSN
in
Kentucky.
We
take
great
pride
in
that
top
10,
nationally
ranked
occupational
safety
program
and
then
our
four-year
Aviation
program,
the
only
Aviation
program
in
Kentucky
helping
to
power
Kentucky's
number
one
GDP,
which
is
Aerospace
and
Aviation,
and
we're
very
grateful
to
have
that
program
at
our
campus
and
to
be
operating
the
third
busiest
airport
in
the
Commonwealth
of
Kentucky.
C
So
you
can
see
that
the
degrees
that
we're
producing
are
degrees
that
are
in
high
demand
in
the
economy
today,
so
to
get
into
to
kind
of
the
meat
of
this
presentation
and
talk
a
little
bit
about
asset
preservation,
I
apologize
that
the
formatting
is
a
little
off
here,
but
hopefully
it
won't
impact
us
63,
just
over
63
million
dollars
that
the
general
assembly
appropriated
over
two
years
for
an
asset
preservation
pool
for
Eastern
Kentucky
University.
C
There
was
a
match
and
we
continue
to
to
work
through
making
sure
that
we're
meeting
your
investment
with
our
investment
because
they
are
our
facilities.
The
commonwealths
we
have
had
59.2
million
of
that
has
already
been
approved
by
our
board.
That
is
a
multitude
of
projects
dealing
with
things
that
I'm
going
to
show
you
some
pictures
of,
and
these
are
not
going
to
be
pretty
pictures,
because
these
are
some
of
the
things
that
we're
dealing
with
with
an
aging
infrastructure
on
our
campus.
C
For
for
many
around
the
table,
Dr
Dr,
Bob
Martin,
who
served
who
served
as
president
of
EKU
also
was
a
member
of
the
Senate
and
this
great
institution
he
was.
He
was
really
responsible
for
an
immense
amount
of
building
on
our
campus
from
1960
to
1970..
Much
of
that
infrastructure
has
not
been
touched
since
that
time
so
kind
of
talking
about
maintenance
needs.
We
have
13
capital
projects
from
the
pool
that
are.
We
are
addressing
right
now
that
we
are
we're
diving
into,
and
you
can
see
a
picture
here.
C
Steam
lines
are
really
one
of
the
biggest
issues
that
we
deal
with.
It
is
an
aging
infrastructure
with
some
materials
at
the
time
that
we're
not
quite
as
durable
as
the
things
that
we're
putting
in
the
ground
today,
but
unfortunately,
they
go
under
every
road,
every
sidewalk
every
building
they
are
hard
to
get
to.
They
are
hard
to
replace
and
it
is
not
a
pretty
it's
not
a
pretty
process
to
do
it,
but
it
is
a
necessary
one
to
do.
C
C
In
October
November,
where
we're
trying
to
transition
from
cooling
to
Heating-
and
everyone
wonders
why
it
takes
so
long
well,
one
you
have
to
you
know:
do
the
switch
over
the
other
is
we
try
to
see
what's
going
to
leak
when
we
make
that
change,
and
it
has
been
significant,
the
amount
of
impact
there,
and
so
you
can
see
we
are
in
the
ground
right
now
today,
replacing
steam
lines
replacing
some
of
those
core
infrastructure
lines
that
support
the
work
of
the
campus,
to
make
it
a
healthy
and
safe
place
for
our
students
to
learn
and
for
our
faculty
and
staff
to
teach
and
support
their
work
in
that
way.
C
Roof
projects
it's
so
it's!
You
know
you
think
about
our
own
homes.
You
rarely
go
in
and
do
a
big
renovation
of
your
home
or
a
building
and
not
fix
the
roof,
because
the
last
thing
you
want
to
do
is
put
in
new
new
new
things
on
the
inside,
and
it's
just
going
to
leak
from
the
outside.
So
we've
been
doing
a
significant
amount
of
roof
repair.
This
is
the
rowlet
building
our
our.
This
is
our
Health
Sciences
facility,
nursing
occupational
therapy.
C
We
we
have
multiple
buildings
where
we're
doing
major
roof
projects
with
these
funds.
Our
student
health
clinic
is
in
here,
but
very
grateful
to
be
able
to
kind
of
seal
the
envelope
and
try
to
protect
the
work.
That's
going
on
inside
of
that
building
our
Palace
Student
Center.
We
are
just
finishing
up
this
roof
project.
Again,
you
see.
This
is
kind
of
the
Hub
of
student
life
on
campus,
the
bookstore,
our
dining
venues,
Veterans
Affairs,
is
in
there
a
lot
of
activity,
including
classrooms,
going
on
in
in
this
space
as
well.
C
Another
big
area
is
electrical
distribution.
You
know
we
saw
a
couple
a
couple
of
years
ago
that
electrical
systems,
gas
systems
particularly,
can
come
with
some
some
real
impacts.
I
know
at
Murray
State
we
had
a
significant
issue
with
with
losing
a
facility
due
to
some
electrical
and
gas
issues.
C
Again,
these
Distribution
Systems
have
got
some
age
on
them
and
so
making
sure
that
they're,
safe
and
they're,
reliable
and
they're
efficient,
there's
a
lot
of
efficiencies
to
be
driven
with
some
of
this
work
that
we're
doing
too
and
so
excited
to
be
able
to
go
in
and
make
some
of
these
Replacements.
Despite
the
fact
that
most
of
the
general
public,
The,
Faculty
staff
and
students
will
never
see
you
know,
some
of
the
Investments
has
been
made.
It
is
making
a
difference
in
the
overall
experience.
C
The
coach
building
for
those
of
you,
you
who
have
been
on
campus,
that
is
the
home
to
the
the
administrative
offices.
I
will
say
that
it
tends
to
be
last
on
the
list
of
things.
We
also
have
the
Brock
Auditorium
for
the
second
longest
running
youth,
Music,
Camp,
Foster,
Music
Camp
runs
there.
We
are
working
through
trying
to
do
some,
some
Replacements
there
on
the
roof,
which
is
is
frankly
crumbling.
C
So,
yes,
the
coach
building
is
wearing
a
hair
net,
and
so
that
is,
you
know,
not
the
most
attractive
of
things,
but
we
are
eager
to
try
to
repair
that
in
this
process,
again
kind
of
going
back
to
campus
utilities,
Plumbing
water
distribution,
healthy
water
distribution-
that
is
critically
important
as
well.
You
can
see
here
that
a
lot
of
infrastructure
needs
and
a
lot
of
things
that
are
going
to
be
addressed
by
the
investment
that
you've
helped
us
make
walkability
critical
importance.
C
Safety
on
campus,
so
sidewalks
lighting,
pedestrian,
Pathways,
making
sure
that
people
can
get
to
and
from
the
places
they
need
to
be
in
a
safe
and
appropriate
way
is
also
a
priority
that
we're
going
to
try
to
address
in
these
projects
as
we
move
forward.
That
is
a
pretty
comprehensive
look
at
the
things
that
we're
working
on
there
are
many
I
I
will
tell
you
that
in
looking
at
the
total
asset
preservation
needs
amongst
all
the
institutions,
I
think
we
were
well
in
excess,
10
billion
dollars
across
all
the
universities,
public
universities
in
the
system.
C
I
do
believe
that
this
is
a
great
start
and
we're
going
to
see
a
lot
of
impact,
but
I
will
tell
you.
There
is
still
a
lot
of
work
to
do
and
we're
eager
to
hopefully
continue
to
do
that
with
you
as
a
body.
So
long
as
there
are
resources
to
be
able
to
be
invested
and
with
that
Mr
chair
we'll
take
any
questions.
A
Thank
you,
Mr
President
and
I
do
very
much
I
appreciate
this
I
know
it's
the
budget
review
but
at
the
same
time,
I'm
very
grateful
to
hear
some
of
the
things
you're
doing
for
students
the
investment
on
Student
Success.
You
know
that's
always
good
to
hear
from
all
of
our
colleges
and
universities
and
and
they're
all
doing
something.
So
it's
always
good
to
hear
those
things
and
showcasing
those
those
programs
as
well.
A
So
I
really
appreciate
that,
if
you
don't
mind
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
the
what
we
call,
what
I
call
the
Gap
funding
that
may
be
needed
for,
because
the
inflation
and
those
type
of
things,
unfortunately,
we
have
no
control
over,
but
it's
part
it's
going
to
impact
EKU
as
well
as
everybody
else.
So,
yes,.
C
C
Yeah,
so
we
had
two
capital
projects
that
were
funded
in
this
this
budget
session,
a
renovation
of
our
our
Alumni
Coliseum,
which
is
really
where
we
do
all
of
our
student
orientations.
All
of
our
convocations,
where
we
try
to
kind
of
bring
the
campus
together,
we're
also
doing
a
model
laboratory,
School
construction.
Both
of
those
projects
were
scored
in
2018
early
2019
in
advance
of
the
2020
session,
of
course,
covet
kind
of
impacted.
C
Both
of
those
projects
are
running
anywhere
from
30
to
40
percent
over
what
we
estimated
the
cost
would
have
been
in
2018..
I
will
tell
you
that,
on
both
of
those
projects,
we
are
trying
to
be
patient.
We're
trying
to
be
very
measured
about
construction
timelines
to
one
not
disrupt
the
overall
operations
of
the
campus
and
the
educational
experience,
but
two
to
try
to
endure
some
of
this
inflationary.
C
Hopefully,
seeing
inflation
come
down
a
bit,
perhaps
we'll
see
some
construction
costs
come
down
a
bit
over
over
the
next
several
months,
but
at
the
same
time,
I
will
think
that
we
will
be
back
here
in
2024
trying
to
see
if
there's
a
way
for
us
to
partner
together
and
funding
the
Gap.
The
same
is
applicable
in
our
asset
preservation
projects,
cost
of
steam
line,
cost
of
cool
chillers
cost
of
roofing
materials.
C
All
of
those
things
have
went
up
and
it
is
I
will
say
it
is
a
challenge
to
try
to
balance
those.
You
know
those
escalated
costs
and
in
particularly
in
Electrical
Plumbing,
some
of
those
those
trades
Lumber
and
those
things
have
come
down,
but
we
don't
do
much.
Stick
built
work
on
on
University
campus
or
in
government
buildings,
so
steel,
Electrical,
Plumbing
HVAC.
Those
prices
are
still
holding
really
high,
and
so
we
are
trying
to
to
be
good
stewards
of
those
funds,
we're
trying
to
be
very
measured
and
how
we
invest
those.
C
But
we
are
hopeful
that,
if,
if
funds
are
available
that
we
could,
we
could
have
some
further
conversations
about
how
we
can
bridge
the
gap
or
endure
kind
of
this.
If,
if
what
the
FED
is
doing,
another
thing
starts
to
bring
prices
down.
Perhaps
we
can
get
back
to
a
more
reasonable
dollar
figure
for
the
cost
of
these
projects,
but
we
are
working
through
that
and
Barry
is
really
on
that
every
day
we're
trying
to
buy
in
bulk
we're
trying
to
buy
in
Futures.
C
If
we
feel
like
we're
getting
a
discount
we're
trying
to
really
do
everything
we
can
to
to
make
every
dollar
go
as
far
as
it
can.
