A
C

A
A
A
Our
purpose
is,
to
you
know,
review
budgets
at
a
more
of
a
granular
level,
so
we
can
take
that
information
and
report
it
to
the
overall
committee,
the
overall
Appropriations
and
revenue
committee.
So
I,
don't
know
how
long
it's
been
I
was
going
to
ask
you
guys
how
long
it's
been
since
kctc
has
been
before
this
committee.
That's
a
loaded!
You
may
not
know
the
answer
that
question,
but
I
think
it
has
been
a
little
while.
A
A
Gotcha,
okay,
so
you're
free
to
proceed,
we'll
hear
the
presentation
and
then
we'll
allow
members
to
ask
questions.
D
Thank
you
very
much
before
I
begin,
there
should
be
a
one-pager.
That's
got
budget
information
by
college
that
you
should
have
with
you
and
that's
got
State
Appropriations
performance
funds
and
then
and
then
totals
on
that
good
morning,
as
I
mentioned,
I'm
Dr,
Paul,
zarapada,
Kentucky,
Community
and
Technical
College
system
president
and
with
me
today
is
Buddy
Combs
he's
the
assistant
vice
president
of
financial
support
services.
D
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
be
here
today
and
to
talk
about
funding
and
projects
for
our
colleges
and
I
appreciate
all
of
your
support
of
higher
education
in
the
last
session
and
I
know
Dr
Thompson's
in
here
somewhere.
I
want
to
thank
him
for
cpe's
leadership
through
this
as
well
and
uniting
higher
education
and
in
one
front,
if
I
may
I
just
want
to
take
a
few
moments
and
talk
about
the
system.
I
don't
have
to
tell
you
that
Kentucky
families
have
been
hit
hard
lately.
D
D
A
real
side
effect
of
these
things
is
that
higher
education
is
becoming
more
and
more
Out,
Of
Reach
for
people
they
can't
or
don't
want
to
leave
their
homes,
they're
just
trying
to
get
food
on
the
table
and
don't
have
the
money
for
tuition
they're
serving
as
caretakers
and
can't
make
it
to
classes.
But
that's
where
we
come
in
our
system
of
colleges
meet
students
where
they
are
in
your
communities.
D
Yes,
we
are
higher
education,
but
we're
higher
education
for
the
real
world
and,
when
I
say
higher
I'm
talking
h-I-r-e
higher
education.
Our
top
priority
is
getting
students
educated
and
skilled,
and
whether
that's
to
the
traditional
transfer
Pathway
to
a
university
or
shorter
term
certificates
to
get
them
out
working
quickly.
We're
committed
to
removing
the
barriers
our
students
face
into
making
sure
they
have
that
efficient
path,
and
this
is
not
a
knock
on
University
Partners.
D
But
when
I
hear
stories
about
our
employees,
even
our
College
presidents
delivering
water,
hauling
mud
out
of
homes
in
Eastern
Kentucky,
offering
them
a
place
to
stay.
That's
the
kind
of
local,
intentional,
life-changing
community
that
you
cannot
necessarily
get.
If
you
go
off
to
a
university
I
know,
there's
been
a
lot
of
talk
of
a
special
session
to
help
Eastern
Kentucky.
C
D
D
D
And
last
but
not
least,
almost
32
percent
of
our
students
have
an
income
below
twenty
thousand
dollars.
D
Students
are,
you
know,
they're,
very
different,
and
sometimes
the
difference
between
them
making
classes
and
not
making
classes
is
flat
tire.
You
know
they
need
a
lot
of
costly
wraparound
supports
whether
it
be
emergency
funds.
Public
transportation
passes,
food
banks,
tutors
success,
coaches
and
many
more.
D
D
These
are
our
mandated
programs.
I
want
to
make
a
note
here.
You'll
see
that
the
Kentucky
Board
of
Emergency,
Medical,
Services
or
k-beams,
is
on
here.
They
will
officially
transfer.
Is
it
the
end
of
September
or
beginning
of
September,
beginning
of
September,
beginning
of
September,
and
so
that
that
budget
will
be
lifted
and
pushed
out
to
State
entity?
D
D
D
We
get
one
state
appropriation
for
all
16
colleges.
There
is
a
Base
education
and
general
funding
and
then
there's
a
separate
performance
funding
model.
D
So
the
education
general
fund
is
basically
the
family
of
funds
utilized
for
the
core
mission
of
the
college
and
again
KRS
164.092,
put
in
a
floor
and
the
funding
formula
for
both
sectors
shall
include
a
stop
loss
provision,
you'll
notice
that
some
of
our
colleges
didn't
get
performance-based
funding
this
year.
There
was
four
of
them
actually,
so
12
did
4
did
not.
Traditionally,
this
has
been
six
colleges
that
haven't
had
it,
but
this
year,
Madisonville
and
Ashland
were
able
to
receive
that
those
funds.
D
So
those
six
coal
colleges
that
traditionally
haven't
gotten
them
you
know-
are
performance-based
Model
skews
A
little
towards
volume
which
you'll
see
in
in
your
breakdown
sheet
here.
The
two
highest
earners
of
the
performance-based
funds
are
our
two
largest
colleges,
and
so
that's
Bluegrass
in
Lexington
and
Jefferson
and
in
Louisville
all
performance
funding
pools
are
distributed
on
a
non-recurring
basis
and
are
reallocated
the
next
year,
based
on
this
model,
calculation.
D
And
one
thing
I
did
want
to
make
sure
that
you
knew
is
that
the
system
office
does
not
get
performance-based
funding
money
or
any
of
the
direct
Appropriations.
There's
been
some
confusion,
I
think
in
the
past
that
we're
taking
all
this
money
in
and
Doling
it
out.
As
we
see
appropriate,
I'll
talk
about
what
we
do
in
the
system
office,
because
I
think
that's
not
well
known
either
I
like
to
call
it
franchise
headquarters.
D
We
we
focus
on
things
we
can
do
at
scale
and
whether
it
be
our
purchasing
power
of
16
colleges
or
running
HR
and
payroll
and
I.T
cyber
security,
networking
accounting
purchasing
Workforce
professional
development,
legislative
relations.
These
are
all
the
things
that
we
do
from
the
system
office
so
that
the
colleges
can
focus
on
educating
their
students.
You
know
it's
a
lot
of
the
back
office,
things
that
we
do
talk
a
little
bit
about
tuition
for
in-state
and
online.
It's
182
dollars
a
credit
hour
that
goes
all
the
way
up
to
637
dollars.
D
A
credit
hour
for
out-of-state
students
and
again
tuition
generated
was
216.7
million,
and
each
College
retains
that
tuition.
Revenue
I
want
to
point
out
here
the
next
closest
testing
cost
of
the
public.
Universities
is
Kentucky,
State
University,
but
we're
still
fifteen
hundred
dollars
less
expensive.
D
D
The
in-demand
trainings
particularly
high
right
now
are
CDL
nurse
aide,
lean
training,
technical
trainings
such
as
fluid
power
and
Robotics
and
Welding.
Even
with
covid
fiscal
year,
22
is
the
highest
performing
year
in
trains.
History,
240,
unique
projects,
136
new
companies
that
we've
been
able
to
work
with
and
104
returning
company
clients
I'd
like
to
think
this
is
because
I've
put
and
we
have
as
a
system
a
heavy
emphasis
on
Workforce
and
economic
development.
The
transformation
is
always
going
to
be
important.
D
Let's
see
so,
there
are
four
projects
here:
I'll
talk
about
each
one
of
them.
Two
of
them
are
managed
by
the
Council
on
post-secondary
education,
the
healthcare
Workforce
initiative.
We
have
four
million
of
that
10
million
dollar
total.
Our
project
proposal
was
actually
just
approve.
Last
Saturday
projects
range
from
system-wide,
supportive,
nursing
faculty
graduate
education,
College
Health
Care
programs,
modernizing
equipment
which
is
very
expensive
as
well
as
companies-based
education
offerings.
D
We
have
a
very
unique
project
which
I'm
sure
you
all
know
about
the
Commonwealth
West
Health
Care
Workforce,
Innovation
Center.
This
is
a
partnership
between
Owensboro
Health,
kctcs
colleges
and
seven
University
Partners,
we're
kind
of
in
the
beginning
of
this
right
now,
but
the
executive
director
has
been
hired.
Several
institutions
have
already
implemented
nursing,
fast
track
programming
with
high
school
dual
credit
programs
and
accelerated
patient
care,
technician,
phlebotomy
and
srna
training
programs
for
adult
students
to
meet
Healthcare
institutions.
Immediate
patient
care
needs
the
Workforce,
Development
trust
fund.
D
We
have
proposals
that
address
23
credentials
across
all
five
targeted
employment
sectors.
These
have
all
been
approved
by
the
Council
on
post-secondary
education.
Six
are
in
health
care,
six
in
Construction,
And,
Trades,
six
in
transportation
and
Logistics
for
an
advanced
manufacturing
and
one
in
business
and
I.T.
D
I'll.
Give
you
a
few
examples:
Big
Sandy
and
Bluegrass
are
going
to
focus
with
these
funds.
Commercial
truck
driving
Gateway
is
going
to
expand
the
utility
line
worker
program.
Madisonville
is
going
to
be
expanding.
Their
CDL
and
lineman
programs.
Maysville
is
going
to
be
implementing
computerized
manufacturing
and
machining
and
I'll
give
one
more
example:
Southeast
is
going
to
have
a
certified
nursing
assistant
to
Kentucky
medication,
Aid.
D
We
also
received
two
appropriations
of
nine
hundred
thousand
dollars
each
one
in
Western
Kentucky
at
Barkley,
Regional,
Airport
and
the
other
one
in
Madisonville.
We
are
still
in
the
early
stages
of
discussion
with
Dennis
rullo,
the
CEO
of
Barkley
Regional
Airport.
He
is
negotiating
on
either
building
a
new
Hangar
or
renovating
an
existing
one.
Once
that's
determined,
we
would
have
to
put
an
FAA
application,
we're
hoping
that
we
could
open
this
in
Fall
of
2023.
D
They've
got
airframe
curriculum
needs
power,
plant,
Personnel
costs
and
then
aircraft
leases
will
be
a
big
focus
of
this.
Lastly,
is
asset
preservation?
I
want
to
sincerely
thank
the
legislature.
For
you
know,
our
match
is
only
15
percent
on
the
dollar
for
asset
preservation.
That
really
helped
us
get
a
kick
start
so
we'll
have
some
projects
and
just
much
needed
much
needed,
and
you
know,
unfortunately,
you
know
the
the
destruction
in
Eastern.
D
Kentucky
didn't
help
anything
so
and
then
again
the
the
two
Elizabethtown
projects
will
be
in
direct
development
with
the
SK
blue
oval
project
to
help
train
that
needed
Workforce.
You
know
we're
trying
to
look
down
the
road.
We
know
that
the
battery
plan
is
going
to
employ
a
lot
of
people,
but
all
of
the
businesses
around
that
leading
up
there
I
think
we're
going
to
see
a
huge
influx
from
you
know:
Nashville
all
the
way
up
to
Indianapolis
down
65..
We
have,
you
know
huge
opportunities,
it's
a
little
terrifying.
D
A
Thank
you
so
much
great
presentation,
I'm
gonna,
we're
collecting
questions
now.
I'm
gonna
start
us
out
with
few
the
total.
My
first
question
is
total
budget.
We
have
on
here
the
state
appropriation,
but
one
of
your
slides
showed
the
breakdown
State
appropriation
tuition,
grants
Workforce
and
Foundation.
What
is
the
total
once
you
figure
in
all
those?
What
is
the
total
number
of
the
budget.
D
And
that
does
include
one-time,
coveted
funds
that
we're
still
the.
A
D
We
can
get
that
to
you.
We
have
one
foundation
in
the
system
office.
Well,
buddy's
got
it
right
here,
Johnny
on
the
spot.
We
will
provide
you
this
spreadsheet,
total
across
all
foundations.
We
have
a
little
over
19
million.
A
Okay,
yeah,
if
you
could
just
provide
that
to
the
committee
sure
as
well.
Thank
you
moving
to
the
slide
where
you
reference
the
what
happens
at
the
system
office,
how
much
of
that
money
flows
back
to
the
system
office,
question
one
and
then
question
two
would
be
currently
how
many
employees
do
you
have
at
the
system
office.
E
A
D
F
A
D
A
D
G
D
Office,
so
we
eliminated
a
lot
of
positions.
We
didn't
rehire
positions
right
now
we're
kind
of
going
through
something
that
many
others
are
with
a
great
wave
of
retirements
and
so
we're
trying
to
evaluate
those
things
and
and
really
take
a
hard
look
at
every
position.
As
it
comes
up
to
see
what
can
be
worked
into
other
areas.
Do
we
really
need
to
be
doing
this
centrally
or
is
it
better
done
regionally
or
locally
at
the
college.
A
Thank
you.
This
is
my
final
question
and
we
opened
up
to
other
members.
I
know
this
is
still
early,
but
do
you
have
any
initial
data
or
idea
on
the
destruction
of
the
Eastern
Kentucky
campuses?
Do
you
have
a
possible
price
tag
on
that?
Yet.
D
A
Perfect
perfect
sorry,
I
was
unaware
of
that,
and
I
would
assume
you
know
with
the
talk
of
a
special
session.
It
would
be
good
to
get
as
much
information
as
you
could.
You
could
on
that
so
co-chair
Tipton.
C
Thank
you,
Mr
chairman
Dr
Zapata,
appreciate
you
being
here
today
just
to
follow
up
a
little
bit
on
that
last
question
about
I
was
in
southeast
Kentucky
last
week
and
I
saw
firsthand
just
the
devastation.
That's
down
there.
I
know
we're
focused.
The
question
was
about
buildings,
but
what
about
your
students?
You've
got
people
who
have
lost
their
homes,
who
have
gone
through
a
very
traumatic
experience.
Are
you
getting
any
feedback
from
your
students
on
what
their
needs
are
and
what
resources
does
the
colleges
down
there
have
for
those
students,
I.
D
I've
been
getting
copy
on
the
emergency
financial
aid
requests
from
students,
and
it's
been
just
heartbreaking
to
see
what
it's
hard
to
read.
Some
of
them
I'll
put
them
that
way.
You
know
it
the
devastation
down
there
is,
is
you
know?
One
of
our
presidents
came
out
with
a
team
of
people
to
help
clean
out
houses.
You
know
they've
got
mud
in
them,
he
I
mean
he
was
a
wreck
on
the
phone.
The
other
night
I
mean
it
is
I.
Thank
God
that
we
didn't
lose
any
students,
faculty
or
staff.
D
You
know
we
didn't
lose
lives,
but
this
isn't
going
to
be
a
quick
fix.
I
mean
this
is
going
to
take
years
and
years
and
years
of
rebuilding
our
students
face.
So
much
as
it
is.
This
is
just
one
more
thing
if
I'll
say
anything
about
Eastern
kentuckians
I
was
there
resilient,
I
guarantee
you
that
this
this
will
be
a
comeback,
we're
working
with
them
as
much
as
we
can
to
provide
the
wraparound
support
services
that
they
need.
We've
delayed
the
start
of
the
semester.
D
We
know
that
some
students
aren't
going
to
be
able
to
come
back
this
semester,
and
so
you
know
we're
going
to
be
very
lenient
with
them
work
with
them
as
best
we
can.
We
do
have
within
any
given
semester.
We
have
start
and
stop
dates
all
throughout
the
whole
semester,
and
so
they
can
start
up
or
they
can
start
up
over
the
winter
program
or
start
up
in
spring,
so
we're
going
to
be
flexible,
we'll
meet
them
where
they
are.
D
But
it's
you
know
right
now:
it's
like
Maslow's
hierarchy
of
needs
out
there
and
they're
just
trying
to
find
food
and
housing
and
help
their
neighbors,
and
you
know
it.
It
does
give
me
hope,
though,
when
you
see
the
number
of
people
that
have
come
out
all
across
this
state
and
out
of
state
to
come
and
help,
but
it's
going
to
be
long.
It's
the
pictures
are
just
unbelievable.
C
It's
my
understanding
that
the
Bradford
County
School
System,
their
ATC,
was
very
severely
damaged
and
I've
heard
that
maybe
conversations
about
using
kctcs
facilities
or
those
type
of
conversations
going
on
and
as
the
colleges
are
they
going
to
be
able
to
support
our
K-12
schools
in
those
way.
C
Mr
chairman
fulandelle's
gonna
have
a
couple
more
questions.
Please
proceed.
2021
special
session.
We
appropriate
25
million
dollars
for
a
new
building
in
Hardin
County
to
work
along
with
the
new
battery
plant.
Could
you
give
us
an
update
on
the
progress
and
when
that's
expected,
to
be
completed.
E
I,
don't
have
any
estimates
on
whatever
we
completed.
I
know
that
they're
working
now
and
Excavating
the
property
down
there,
but
I
can
get
back
with
you
on.
C
C
C
C
Need
to
align
the
curriculum
to
their
needs
and
they're
going
to
be
supplemental
businesses
to
come
in
to
support
that
as
well.
Plus,
you
got
the
the
battery
plant
and
the
Bowling
Green
as
well.
So
there's
a
lot
of
opportunities.
There
are
lots
of
needs.
One
of
your
slides.
You
referenced
the
the
percentage
of
unprepared
students
who
come
in
to
Community
College
I,
read
an
article
this
week
that
there's
a
lot
of
concern
about
incoming
freshmen
because
of
the
last
two
years
of
covet
isolation
that
a
lot
of
students
are
coming
in
not
prepared.
D
Well,
it's
taking
a
lot
of
extra
work
by
our
faculty
and
and
advisors
and
and
support
staff.
This
slide
is
actually
from
2019
it
does
it's
not
we're
hoping
to
get
this
updated
very
soon.
My
guess
is:
our
underprepared
is
Way
north
of
57.
D
Of
course
you
know
it's
and
it
varies
I,
think
by
a
district
of
how
how
much
rigor
was
in
you
know
in
in
those
courses
and
a
lot
of
people.
Don't
do
very
well
online,
so
that's
I
know
we're
seeing
difficulty.
I
don't
have
the
latest
percentage
numbers,
but
I
know
that
it's
a
struggle
for
sure.
Okay,
a.
C
Couple
more:
it's
my
understanding
that
Bluegrass
Community
College
is
working
in
partnership
with
Eastern
Kentucky
University
on
new
program.
A
teacher
pipeline
I
have
had
some
conversations
with
commissioner
glass
and
president
Thompson
on
this.
I
would
hope
that
something
we
can
expand.
Statewide
absolutely.
D
D
Yes,
so
what
it's
going
to
do
is
it
will?
It
should
shorten
the
length
of
time
it
takes
for
students
to
get
out
with
the
degrees
necessary
in
order
to
teach
in
K-12?
That
is
something
that
can
be
definitely
replicated
across.
All
of
our
colleges,
we're
looking
at
any.
You
know
like
we
do
with
everything
we're
going
to
take
a
look
at
this.
This
find
out
what's
working,
what's
not
working,
make
adjustments
and
then
and
then
expand
it
out.
I'm
also
looking
very
closely
at
the
Owensboro
collaboration.
D
A
C
C
On
okay,
okay
and
I-
guess
you
know
talking
about
three
year
graduation
rates
versus
two
year.
If
we
consider
we
can
get
them
out
the
less
expensive
on
that
on
that
partnership,
when
that
student
transfers
from
Bluegrass
to
EKU,
do
they
pay
the
four-year
tuition
or
do
they
pay
the
Community
College
tuition
for
the
last
two
years,
I'm
just
curious,
I.
C
Tuition,
okay
and
one
last
question:
we
had
some
discussion
in
the
budget
discussions
this
year
about
House
Bill
8
and
the
amount
of
the
supplement
for
kers
I
know
we
work
to
mitigate
that
so
I
guess.
My
question
is:
are
we
good
now,
with
the
amount
of
the
appropriation
to
meet
that
need.
E
It
it
really
isn't:
I
mean
our
monthly
payment
for
House
Bill
8
for
our
kers
is
700
000
a
month,
and
we
only
got
eight
hundred
thousand
in
the
budget.
So.
C
C
Okay,
so
I
had
to
go
back
and
review
that
language
and
how
that
was
worded
originally.
E
B
Kind
of
piggyback
on
representative
Tipton,
when
you're
talking
about
getting
kids
in
the
pipeline
and
getting
out,
let's
say
I,
come
to
you
with
a
four-year
degree,
master's
degree
whatever,
but
all
of
us
I
decided
I
want
to
be
a
phlebologist.
Do
you
look
at
the
classes,
and
so
you
are
specifically
training
to
get
them
out
in
the
pipeline.
Yeah.
D
So
we're
putting
a
deep
focus
on
credit
for
prior
learning,
and
that
includes
you
know,
transcript
review
and
all
that
to
make
sure,
particularly
with
our
military,
because
there
is
so
much
of
a
crossover
between
what
they
learn
in
the
military
and
what
they
what
they've
got
equivalents
of.
But
yes,
that's
absolutely
something
that
we
do.
D
One
of
the
things
that
we've
talked
about
a
lot
is
the
need
to
really
start
speaking
with
children
and
parents
all
the
way
down,
maybe
even
in
fifth
and
sixth
grade,
but
definitely
in
the
middle
schools
to
start
getting
interest
in
Allied,
Health
and
advanced
technology,
and
many
of
the
things
that
you
know
what
we're
seeing
is
that
when
they're
getting
to
us
they've
already
been
coached,
you
know
that
maybe
I
don't
want
to
do
Allied
Health,
because
it's
you
know,
I,
don't
want
to
do
those
kinds
of
things,
and
so
it's
really
getting
that
information
out
there
we're
making
a
deliberate
approach
to
do
that.
D
A
I
just
got
a
couple
more
questions
and
we'll
wrap
it
up
here
and
and
I'm
not
opposed
to.
You
know
this
meeting
in
the
early.
That's
it's.
A
Never
a
bad
thing,
so
how
many
students
do
you
currently
have.
D
D
You
go
year
over
year
in
the
last
year,
we
were
just
under
a
hundred
thousand
this
year.
Our
enrollment
I,
don't
know
exactly
where
we're
at
do.
You
recall
I
know.
A
D
That
is,
they
used
to
have
fractional
fractional
hours
for
credit
and.
D
A
Would
like
to
see
that
if
you
could
please
provide
that-
and
this
is
my
final
question
relating
to
alignment
and
I'm
off
on
a
tangent
here.
So
this
is
this-
is
this
is
anecdotal
from
some
constituents
sure
when
was
the
last
time
you
all
spoke
with
the
comprehensive,
comprehensive,
UK
and
uofl
on
credits
transferring
obviously
we
want
to
make
sure
that,
if
you're
going
to
the
community
college
system
for
two
years,
all
those
credits
right,
hopefully
transfer
I,
hear
there's
some
problem
and
some
issues
with
that.
D
Tell
as
a
matter
of
fact,
Dr
Thompson
was
was
part
of
the
initiative
that
actually
passed
legislation
that
all
of
our
credits
have
to
transfer
now.
The
issue
that
happens
sometimes,
is
that
the
credits
they
take
with
us,
don't
necessarily
align
with
the
program
that
they
transfer
into,
and
so
they
may
have
credits
for
for
things
that
aren't
necessary
at
the
University.
We
do
work
with
that.
D
That's
an
advising
thing
we
we
need
to
I
can't
address
how
often
that
those
conversations
take
place,
but
it
really
is
an
advising
issue
more
than
it's
they're,
not
accepting
our
transfer
credits.
A
Gotcha
and
Dr
Thompson
will
be
up
in
a
second.
We
can
maybe
cover
that
when
he
gets
up
here
yeah.
We
want
to
be
vigilant
on
that.
I
think
I
think
it's
I
can't
speak
for
the
general
assembly.
I
can
speak
for
myself.
I
think
it's
Our
intention
that
as
many
credits
as
possible
will
transfer
over
and
that
way
students
aren't
blindsided.
E
D
It's
advising
working
with
our
K-12
advisors,
but
also
with
universities,
and
so
we
just
just
recently
signed
a
dual
enrollment
agreement
with
Morehead
State
and
the
nice
thing
there
is
that
these
students
get
interactions
from
their
freshman
year
with
Morehead
State
advisors.
And
so
it's
that
much
easier
that
when
they're
done
with
us,
they
move
on
with
with
Moorhead.
A
Perfect
representative
Tipton
did
you
have
a
question
additional
questions?
Okay,
okay,
seeing
no
further
questions.
We
appreciate
the
presentation.
Thank.
D
A
A
Thank
you
so
much,
and
if
we
could
just
we'll
try
to
tie
up
the
last
presentation,
Dr
Thompson
I,
don't
always
remember
everything
we
pass
up
here.
So
if
you
could
comment
on,
you
know
the
the
transfer
we
have
a
law
to
that
effect,
but
is
that
working
properly
the.
H
Law
is
working
actually
really
good.
There's
three
issues
that
we
should
be
aware
of
here
when
we
think
about
items
that
are
not
transferring
one
is,
and
we
see
this
a
lot
in
our
nursing
pipeline
for
an
example.
They
may
take
a
course
that
doesn't
fit
into
that
nursing
program
when
it
goes
to
a
four-year
institution.
That's
different
than
what
the
law
says.
H
Law
says
that
all
pre-major
and
all
of
those
courses
at
kctcs
must
be
transferred
and
to
a
programmatic
situation,
and
that
is
working
where
it's
not
working
very
well
is
when
we
have
specialized
programs
that
are
designed
around
clinical
issues.
Number
one
number
two:
if
it's
a
technical
at
Community
College,
obviously
four-year
institutions
don't
have
those.
So
that's
where
some
of
the
problems
lie.
H
Also
now
number
three
in
representative,
Tipton
I
think
is
actually
alluding
to
some
of
this
in
his
earlier
statement
that
we
need
to
do
a
better
job
of
aligning
our
dual
credit
into
a
curricular
pathway
into
a
program
that
making
sure
those
transfer
we
still
see
too
often
kids
taking
36
hours
and
20
of
them
may
not
even
work.
So
some
of
those
issues
what
you're
hearing
about,
but
the
transfer
law
actually
is
the
best
in
the
nation
and
it's
working
great.
H
So
what
for
what
it's
designed
for
the
others
are
going
to
have
to
be
a
better
articulated
system.
So
what
your
problem
we
and
I've
got
some
of
this
by
the
way.
If
there's
a
problem,
if
you
will,
with
those
courses,
not
transferring
actually
my
office
is
the
final
arbit
Trader
on
those
and
we'll
fix
those
if
it
arises
to
us,
we
address
those
when
it
gets
to
that
point,
but
kctcs
and
the
four-year
institutions
have
to
go
through
the
process
of
working
it
out.
First
before
it
gets
to
us
to
make
that
decision.
H
What
we
do
have
is
an
advising
issue.
Paul
was
absolutely
correct,
but
it's
an
advising
issue
all
the
way
from
high
school
now,
because
we've
got
so
many
dual
credit
hours,
that's
going
into
that
transfer
pipeline.
So
these
are
the
issues
that
are
not
unique
to
any
state.
Actually,
Kentucky's
done
really
well
on
their
transfer
law
and
people
are
modeling
that
so
I
just
wanted
to
separate
those
two
particular
issues
at
hand.
I
did
also
want
to
answer.
H
If
you
don't
mind,
a
couple
of
questions
representative
Tipton
brought
up
I
did
go
through
Eastern
Kentucky,
that's
my
hometown.
Homes
areas,
you
all
know
devastating
and
I.
Think
if
you
haven't
had
a
chance
to
really
I
mean
you
can
see
the
aftermath
now,
but
I
was
there
that
Saturday
of
when
all
the
flooding
I
was
just
and
I
am
not
young,
but
this
is
the
worst
that
I've
seen
in
that
neck
of
the
woods,
even
in
my
lifetime.
H
We
are
learning
loss
is
clearly
there
and
it's
going
to
be
there
more,
but
we
also
have
a
lot
now
more
social,
emotional,
mental
health
issues
that
are
now
combining
with
that
to
exacerbate
that,
even
at
a
larger
level,
so
somewhere
along
the
way,
I
think
we
really
need
to
have
a
solid
conversation
about
this
and
not
just
the
covet
effects,
but
exactly
all
the
I
mean
like
the
flooding,
like
the
tornado.
All
these
things
are
displacing
kids
in
many
ways
and
not
just
the
physical
place,
but
in
other
places
so.
A
I
really
appreciate
that
covers
it
all
really
appreciate.
The
update
makes
sense
sounds
like
we
need
to
work
on
some
advising
issues,
but
that's
that's
another
topic
for
another
day.
So
before
you
start
feel,
free
to
you
know
proceed
that
this
is
basically
a
status
report.
A
You
know,
where
do
you
stand
and
in
case
you
haven't
picked
up
on
it
already
yet
I
think
that
it's
the
intent
of
several
of
the
chairs
and
myself
co-chair
Tipton,
maybe
Center
McDaniel,
that
that
we
have
in
here
once
a
month
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
prepare
you
for
that.
You
know
let
you
know
that
communicate
that
with
you,
but
there's
no
specific
purpose
today,
just
status
report
so
floor
is
yours,
feel
free
to
proceed.
F
F
There
we're
joined
by
the
chairman
of
our
Board
of
Regents,
Dr,
Gerald
Patton,
he's
actually
here
via
I,
guess,
Zoom
or
electronically
I
again,
I'd
like
to
thank
you
for
giving
us
this
opportunity
to
come
and
update
and
I
appreciate
that
it
is
important
that
we
are
here
to
let
you
know
the
steps
that
are
being
taken.
F
There
are
a
number
of
steps
that
have
been
taken
thus
far.
This
is
my
second
month
in
town.
You
know
second
time
here
and
second
month
in
in
terms
of
the
role
of
interim
president
at
Kentucky,
State
University.
We
have
begun
the
process
of
implementing
some
new
processes
in
the
and
with
the
plan
toward
opening
up
the
campus.
F
Those
new
processes,
of
course,
are
being
met
with
a
number
of
challenges,
and
so
we
will
talk
a
little
bit
about
them
in
the
context
of
of
where
we
stand
in
terms
of
our
our
enrollment
and
then
also
where
we
stand
in
terms
of
housing.
But
before
we
begin
I'd
like
to
ask
my
colleague,
Dr
Burnett,
to
just
share
a
bit
of
his
background,
I
asked
Dr
Burnett
to
to
join
in
this
endeavor
and
and
he
he
agreed.
F
He
is
a
former
Air
Force
officer,
and
so
he
was
Duty
about
to
come
from
a
neighboring
state
and
so
I'll
turn
it
over
to
him
to
introduce
himself.
And
then
we
will
go
to
Dr
Shields
who's,
our
C
interim
CFO
he'll
talk
about
enrollment
and
then
back
to
Dr
Burnett,
who
talk
about
housing.
J
Can
you
hear
me?
Thank
you.
It
is
indeed
a
pleasure
to
be
here:
I'm
Dr,
Daryl,
Burnett
I'm,
a
retired
lieutenant
colonel
from
the
United
States
Air
Force
I
served
pretty
much
all
over
the
country
during
that
22-term
year
term,
when
I
was
in
the
military
and
I
retired
and
I
transitioned
over
to
Harriet
I've
worked
at
a
number
of
institutions
across
the
country.
J
Most
recently,
the
four
schools
that
I've
worked
in
have
had
financial
difficulties
very
similar
to
what
we're
experiencing
here
at
Kentucky
State
Central
State
in
Ohio
Jackson
stayed
in
Mississippi
as
well
as
rust,
College
in
Mississippi
private
school,
but
the
two
Public
Schools
were
Jackson
State
and
Central.
State
I
was
indeed
happy
to
hear
from
Dr
Johnson
for
me
to
come
and
help
him
out
and
to
help
the
school
out.
So
the
dean
of
pleasure
and
I'm
eager
to
help
and
share
what
I've
seen
so
far
this
year.
I
Yes,
I'm
Dr,
Gerald,
Shields
I'm
the
other
book
in
but
I'm
Army.
You
know
so
you
know
he.
He
has
two
commitments
on
the
both
sides.
That
was
called
to
duty
here,
I'm
I'm
great,
to
share
with
you
that
our
budget
was
built
off
of
1459
students
we
currently
have
965
have
actually
cleared
financially
of
these
students
have
cleared
financially,
none
of
them
have
back
balances.
Now
this
is
one
of
the
key
things
that
was
brought
up
about
the
school,
not
having
students
carrying
back
balances.
I
We
made
sure
this
has
been
a
challenge.
It's
been
a
changing
culture,
you're
going
to
hear
some
grumblings
about
it,
but
the
school
is
going
to
be
a
lot
better
off
for
it.
We
need
about
494
students
to
complete
this
process
to
close
and
meet
budget,
but
we
have
the
potential
of
probably
about
another
513.
That
I
believe
that
we
will
be
able
to
receive
to
give
us
an
enrollment
total
of
1478.
I
This
is
also,
of
course,
based
off
of
full-time
equivalence,
which
is
15
credit
hours
per
student
to
meet
those
numbers
that
I've
just
shared
with
you.
I
Our
budget
is
financially
we're
coming
along,
very,
very
strong
with
the
gracious
and
most
appreciative,
23
million
dollars
that
you
have
given
the
school.
We
are
for
the
first
time
that
I
I've
heard
in
a
number
of
years.
We
have
no
cash
flow
issues,
but
we
do
have
had
some
challenges
in
personnel
and
by
that
I
mean
I'm,
being
able
to
hire
Personnel
being
able
to
maintain
the
personnel.
I
So
we're
continuing
to
work
our
work
to
try
to
get
this
solidified
so
that
we're
being
able
to
move
the
college
forward.
We
have
completed
our
fiscal
year,
2021
audit.
We
have
about
96
percent
of
that
completed.
We
have
about
another
four
percent
that
needs
to
be
Revisited
before
it's
ready
for
a
complete
audit
for
our
external
auditors,
and
we
are
starting
to
work
for
our
audit
for
fiscal
year,
2122,
which
we
anticipated
being
completed
between
late
October
or
the
first
part
of
November.
J
Going
to
give
you
an
update
on
housing
because,
as
the
gentleman
said
earlier
in
the
earlier
deliberation,
recent
developments
have
increased
the
demand
for
housing
on
campus,
as
he
had
pointed
out
and
wearing
experience.
In
the
same
thing,
Kentucky
state
offers
a
healthy
environment.
We
have
nurses,
we
have
counselors
and
parents,
not
students.
Parents
are
eager
to
ensure
that
we
have
those
elements
there
to
take
care
of
their
kids
we're
safer.
J
As
you
know,
if
you
turn
the
news
on,
you
have
all
kind
of
issues
across
the
country
politically,
socially
everything,
that's
going
on
changes
in
gun
laws.
Another
reason
why
parents
want
their
kids
in
a
much
safer
environment.
We
offer
24
7,
Public,
Safety
patrols,
and
that's
why
there's
another.
That's
another
reason
why
there's
an
uptick
in
demands?
J
Affordability,
we've
seen:
inflation
increases
in
fuel
increases
in
living
accommodations.
All
of
those
things
have
drive
those
parents
to
send
their
kids
to
schools
where
they
can
provide
on-campus
housing.
So,
as
a
result,
six
months
ago,
we
were
not
in
in
tune
to
those
particular
demands.
So
if
you've
read
or
heard
the
recent
news
about
Kentucky
State,
those
are
some
of
the
challenges
that
we're
dealing
with.
So
presently
we
have
14
59
registered,
budgeted
students
of
that
we
have
965
bits
so
right
away.
J
You'll
see
a
shortfall
in
bids
to
accommodate
those
students
of
that
965
720
are
on
campus
and
we're
also
successful
in
securing
hotel
rooms
to
accommodate
242
students.
So
that's
where
we're
currently
are
at
right.
Now
the
continuing
students
and
I'm
talking
about
Juniors
and
seniors
are
beginning
to
arrive
on
tomorrow,
and
they
will
be
coming
in
and
through
four
o'clock
on
Saturday.
I
And
I
would
like
to
interject
Mr
chairman
that
the
building
is
coming
along
quite
well,
and
it's
reaching
each
one
of
the
Milestones
that
has
been
set
forth
for
its
completion
to
be
on,
and
by
January.
It
looked
like
it's
going
to
be
a
fantastic
building
in
addition
to
the
community,
as
well
as
to
the
campus.
F
H
A
If
that's
okay
with
you
I,
think
representative
Tipton
has
a
I'm.
Sorry
co-chair
Tipton
has
a
question.
B
C
I
know
that's
a
concern
in
past
conversations.
I
know,
there's
been
a
situation
where
students
have
been
resided
in
hotel
rooms
in
the
past,
and
that
was
at
an
additional
cost
to
the
university
and
and
part
of
the
goal
of
the
new
dorm
was
to
eliminate
that
cost.
I
guess
my
question
is
about
the
status
of
your
current
dorms.
How
many
of
them
are
in
need
of
repair?
I
know.
Several
years,
a
few
years
ago,
I
took
a
tour,
went
through
an
older
dorm
I
mean.
C
F
I'd
like
to
speak
to
that,
and
then
of
course
my
colleagues
can
add
the
dorms
that
we
have
on
the
campus
are
old.
I
F
And
one
of
the
main
difficulties
in
terms
of
one
that
has
a
number
of
units
offline
is
that
the
way
it
was
constructed
it
was
not
constructed
properly
and
then
second,
it
is
not
configured
for
for
air
conditioning
a
modern
air
conditioning
and,
as
a
result,
the
the
pipes
clog
they
break
and
if
the
pipes
don't
clog,
then
you
wind
up
with
moisture
that
leads
to
mold,
which
then
of
course,
our
number
one
responsibilities,
health
and
safety
and
as
a
consequence,
we
have
to
take
the
the
unit
offline,
bring
in
contractors
to
work
on
it
with
the
addition
of
the
408
bed
resident
Hall.
F
That
then
gives
us
an
opportunity
to
really
assess
whether
or
not
some
of
the
housing
units
should
essentially
be
removed
from
active
use
and
consideration
for
and
ask
for
consideration
for
support
to
provide
new
facilities.
This
has
been
going
on
for
quite
a
lot
quite
a
long
time
in
my
inquiry
when
I
asked
about
this
challenge,
I
was
told:
that's
been
going
on
for
10
to
12
years,
and
you
know
my
response
is
10
to
12
years.
F
That's
a
half
a
generation,
that's
ridiculous!
So
what
we're
trying
to
do
now
is
we're
going
to
pull
you
know
our
team
together
and
really
start
the
process
of
assessing
I
know
that
we
have
resources
to
improve
some
of
the
some
of
the
Commonwealth
owned
properties.
C
Please
continue
to
keep
us
updated
on
that
as
we
move
forward.
I
know
you
all
also
have
asked
for
funds
for
a
new
nursing
building,
Healthcare
building,
so
I
know
there
are
a
lot
of
needs
there,
so
we'll
enjoy
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
continue
these
updates,
and
that
keeps
conversation
going
on
these
needs
as
we
move
forward.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
so
much.
We
have
no
further
questions
this
time.
So,
president
Thompson,
if
you
could
proceed
with
your.
H
Presentation,
thank
you
Mr
chairman
back
Travis
Powell
to
the
table.
If
he's
somewhere
around
there,
a
couple
of
points
I
want
to
make
you
you've,
you're,
probably
getting
some
input
from
folks
on
some
of
the
items
that
we've
done
with
HB
250
under
the
guidelines
of
making
sure
we
get
a
financially
stable
institution
as
well
as
an
overall
organizational
stable
institution,
so
that
you
know
for
an
example,
we
do
have
faculty
and
staff
tenure
put
on
hold
right
now
and
promotions.
We
hope
to
get.
H
They
won't
lose
their
positions,
but
we
have
to
make
sure
we
have
a
balanced
budget.
There
there's
a
lot
of
great
things
that
we
are
ultimately
going
to
do,
no
doubt
about
it.
But
to
do
those
items,
I
clearly
need
to
say
that
we
have
to
get
a
base
by
which
we
work
from
it
to
build
it
back.
The
way
it
should
be
built.
H
So,
as
you
get
information
I,
you
know,
representative
Tipton
and
I've
talked
probably
way
more
than
he
wants
to,
but
but
we
the
idea
that
we
are
happy
to
try
to
address
with
the
current
Administration
on
campus,
any
sort
of
inputs
that
some
people
may
have.
But
you
know
bottom
line,
we're
we're
going
to
work
hard
to
make
sure
that
the
stability
is
there
and
the
thriving
of
the
campus
is
going
to
move
forward.
There's
a
lot
of
stuff,
that's
happened
on
HB
250.
H
Up
to
this
point,
I
did
want
to
thank
I
entered
President
Johnson
and
his
team
for
working
so
closely
with
us.
You
know
I'm
sure.
At
times
we
probably
look
like
a
pest.
We
hope
that's
not
the
case,
but
it
is
our
goal
at
CPE
to
ensure
that
KSU
is
is
in
the
place.
It
needs
to
be
so
I'll.
Let
Travis
kind
of
give
you
a
quick
update
about
where
we're
at
so
far
sure
thanks.
K
Dr
Thompson
Travis
Powell
vice
president
general
counsel
at
the
council,
post-secondary
education
and
I
just
want
to
piggyback
off
those
last
comments
you
made
Dr
Thompson.
It
has
been
a
a
very
collaborative
environment
with
with
President
Johnson
and
his
new
team.
We
are
involved
in
any
conversation
that
we
want
to
be
in.
They
keep
us
fully
informed
on.
What's
going
on,
Dr
Stephanie
Mayberry
is
our
senior
director
for
KSU
relations.
K
She
has
an
office
in
Hume
hall
right
down
the
hallway
from
the
president
and
she
is
involved
in
all
aspects
of
of
planning
for
the
semester
to
begin
and
and
other
aspects
of
the
institution.
So
we
are
fully
engaged
with
KSU
right
now
and
feel
very
confident
that
we'll
be
able
to
meet
the
goals
in
House,
Bill
250.,
the
faculty
and
staff
performance
review
is
underway.
That
policy
was
adopted
for
both
faculty
and
staff.
K
On
the
at
the
July
15th
KSU
board
meeting,
we
worked
very
collaboratively
with
staff
there
in
the
Provost
office
to
get
that
and
and
HR
office
to
get
those
in
place
and
that
process
has
been
is
begun.
Faculty
are
being
trained
in
the
system
to
get
all
their
materials
uploaded,
so
those
those
can
be
reviewed
and
by
mid-october.
So
we
should
be
able
we
plan
on
meeting
the
deadline
for
April
to
have
those
initial
House,
Bill,
250
faculty
and
staff
reviews
completed.
K
K
So
we're
very
excited
about
that
working
on,
hopefully
getting
not
only
just
a
a
certificate
program
to
get
folks
in
the
workforce,
but
also
allow
those
programs
to
be
used
for
those
credits
to
be
used
for,
for
so
they
can
transfer
on
if
they
want
to
continue
their
studies
at
KSU.
So
we're
really
excited
about
that.
K
Ksu
Board
of
Regents
and
and
Regent
patent
has
sent
the
No
Doubt
to
the
rest
of
his
board,
are
planning
to
attend
the
trusteeship
conference
in
Louisville
that
CP
will
host
on
in
September,
19th
and
20th.
So
we're
looking
forward
to
seeing
them
there
and
hope
to
see
some
of
you
all
there
as
well.
Our
program
review
system
is
up
and
running
from
Gray
Associates.
This
is
a
program
that
CPU
already
had
in
place
per
its
current
program
review
process.
K
This
is
a
comprehensive
system
that
will
allow
the
the
institution
to
evaluate
programs
all
the
way
down
to
the
course
and
the
instructor
level
to
see
what
positive
or
negative
Financial
contribution
they
have,
and
we
have
50
licenses
for
KSU
staff
to
use
that
program,
so
they
can
get
in
there
on
a
daily
basis
if
they
want
to
see
the
productivity
of
programs
to
help
plan
for
courses
in
the
future.
What
need
to
be
offered
to
students
to
help
them
meet
their
goals
and
which
programs
and
courses
are
financially
viable.
K
Development
of
the
management
Improvement
plan
continues.
Ksu
staff
has
been
solely
focused
on
getting
the
semester
started,
and
that
process
is
working
well
and
as
you've
heard
a
little
about
that
today.
But
we
will
now
focus
more
heavily
with
KSU
staff
on
developing
this
management
Improvement
plan
to
meet
that
November
first
deadline.
We've
had
a
lot
of
good
conversations
on
that
already.
A
lot
of
the
a
lot
of
things
have
already
happened
will
inform.
What's
in
that
plan,
we
look
forward
to
continuing
to
update
you
on
that
as
well.
K
Expenditure
approvals
continue,
as
you
may
recall,
from
House
Bill
250
CP
is
to
request,
is
to
approve
all
expenditures
over
five
thousand
dollars
at
KSU.
I'm
personally
am
approving
those
daily
and
we're
doing
those
on
an
expedited
basis,
as
need
be,
and
they
all
the
information
provided
for
those
expenditure
approvals,
including
approvals
at
the
appropriate
levels.
K
The
making
sure
that
the
amounts
are
available
in
the
budget
to
cover
these
expenses
that's
all
occurring
and
that
process
is
working
well,
we'll
continue
to
tweak
it
to
make
sure
we
can
be
more
efficient,
but
we're
very
pleased
how
that's
going
and
and
hope
that
continues.
A
Thank
you
so
much
I'll
start
us
out
with
some
questions
here
on
your
Financial
update
report
or
talks
about
your
cat.
Current
cash
position
fill
us
in
on
the
23
million.
K
A
K
A
K
A
Thank
you
second
question
on
page
two
of
your
report.
It
says
you
know
several
operational
issues
in
accounting
and
finance
have
not
yet
been
resolved
and
we've
had
those
updates
in
these
committees
in
the
past,
but
refresh
our
memories
on
what
those
are
and
and
what
we
need
to
do
to
to
correct
those.
B
Good
morning,
excuse
me
I'm,
Greg,
Rush
senior,
fellow
with
CP,
and
those
relate
to
the
hiring
and
Personnel
issues
that
Dr
Shields
referenced
earlier.
They
are
a
down
controller
and
a
number
of
accountants
they're
working
to
fill
those
positions
and
I
think
they're
down
one
payroll
person
and
as
they
try
to
get
these
positions
filled,
that's
put
them
behind
on
some
basic
things
like
reconciliation
a
month
and
close
We
are
continuing
to
CPE
is
continuing
to
monitor.
B
H
We
have
worked
with
doctors
Hills
to
bring
stop
Gap
people
in
until
we
get
people
hired.
But,
as
you
all
know,
we
knew
it
was
going
to
take
a
while
to
to
make
sure
that
Personnel,
the
right
Personnel
were
there
and
we
knew
it
was
going
to
take
a
while
to
get
it
in
place.
So
you're
liable
to
hear
more
of
this
until
we
get
that
truly
into
a
place,
and
we
want
I
know
they
do.
A
Thank
you.
This
will
be
my
final
question
for
now.
If
you
could
update
us,
I'll
split
this
question
into
the
first.
One
is,
if
you
could
update
us
on
what
outside
audits
are
currently
happening
and
I'm
not
talking
about
you
know
your
normal
third
party
audit.
You
could
update
us
on
that
and
then,
if
you,
if
you
legally,
can
comment
what
outside
investigations
are
progressing,
are
there
any
Financial
investigations
underway
that
you
can
update
us
on
well.
K
I'll
start
you
can
fill
in
okay.
The
the
audit
of
Public
Accounts
is
doing
their
review
per
the
per
the
budget
bill,
so
they're
in
doing
doing
the
work
that
they're
required
to
do.
They
were
they.
They
began
their
work
in
the
last
fiscal
year
and
we'll
continue
on
and
I
think
it
has
to
be
completed
this
fiscal
year
correct
or
they
haven't.
B
K
That's
the
only
outside
investigation
that
that
I'm
that
we're
currently
aware
of
at
this
time
so.
B
A
Would
could
you
tell
us,
is
that
public
litigation
or
private
litigation
public,
okay,
perfect?
A
Obviously,
at
this
meeting
we
don't
need
any
details,
but
if,
if
we
could
just
tell
us
what
you
know
as
far
as
those
what
investigations
are
ongoing,
yeah.
B
Identify
yourself
for
the
record,
please,
yes,
sir!
Thank
you.
It's
Lisa,
Lang
I'm,
the
general
counsel
at
Kentucky,
State,
University
and
I
can
confirm
what
Greg
has
already
stated,
which
is.
We've
got
ongoing
litigation
and
there
are
investigations
that
are
connected
with
that
litigation.
But.
A
C
You
Mr
chair
a
course
in
addition
to
the
23
million
dollar
loan.
There
was
an
additional
15
million
dollars
appropriated
to
be
spent
over
the
next
two
fiscal
years.
Have
there
been
plans
made
looking
into
where
that
money
might
need
to
be
invested?
If
you
looked
at
in
that
so
far,
and
can
you
give
us
any
update
on
the
status
of
those
funds.
H
Absolutely
and
I
hopefully
get
a
chance
today
to
talk
with
a
new
interim
president,
but
we
have,
as
as
we
argue,
for
those
dollars
before
to
create
what
I
call
the
you
know,
the
future
thriving
of
KSU
to
ensure
that
it
becomes
a
long-term
way
of
actually
building
their
finances
on
their
own.
So
we've
talked
to
several
organizations.
To
be
honest
with
you,
one
is
the
Magellan
group
who,
if
you
know
anything
about
Liberty,
University
or
Regent,
how
they
created
this
huge
online
competency-based,
adult
learner-focused
area.
H
We've
had
conversations
with
them
and
as
well
as
a
couple
other
groups,
I,
don't
know
if
I
should
have
mentioned
names,
but
we
just
want
to
find
out
what
they
have
if
we
probably
would
have
to
put
an
RFP
out
if
the
interim
Administration
and
the
board
agrees
with
us,
so
we
we
think
that's
the
way
to
go
to
help
build
what
is
a
dearth
in
Kentucky
and
the
online
adult
learner
Market
in
a
you
know,
a
a
way
that
we
can
use
competencies
to
a
better
degree.
H
So
that's
an
area
worked
on
the
other
area,
we're
wanting
to
work
on
and
now
able
to
start.
The
conversation
since
we
got
some
Administration
on
campus
is
to
really
build
that
teacher
Ed
program
to
a
degree
that
is
state
of
the
art
and
one
that
would
serve
once
again
the
needs
of
Kentucky
and
surely
the
needs
of
what
a
strong
HBCU
should
be
serving
in
my
opinion.
Another
item
is
that
we
have
state
government
that
is
located
here
in
town
with
KSU.
H
We
would
love
to
create
a
state-of-the-art
set
of
programming
and
with
some
micro
credentials
that
we've
already
talked
a
language
about
looking
at
that
would
serve
KSU
both
in
undergraduate
and
I,
mean
surf
state
government,
sorry
in
both
the
undergraduate
and
graduate
programming
that
would
help.
So
these
are
the
three
areas
we're
strongly
looking
at.
Once
again,
we
haven't
had
an
opportunity
to
fully
discuss
this
with
the
interim
Administration
yet,
but
we
have
done
our
due
diligence,
our
work
to
identify
some
real
good,
excellent
possibilities
that
we
could
get
implemented.
K
Those
will
be
in
the
management
Improvement
plan.
The
funding
distribution
is
tied
to
meeting
goals
and
benchmarks
in
the
management
Improvement
plan,
so
we,
these
are
the
areas
that
we're
thinking
about
and
we
just
got
to
figure
out
exactly
where
we
want
to
Target
those
and
what
triggers
will
trigger.
You
know
that
we'll
include
in
the
plan
that
will
release
the
funds,
but
but
no
funds
have
been
released
yet,
but
we'll
outline
the
the
parameters
for
release
of
those
funds
in
the
management
plan
due
November
1st,
okay.
C
Mr
chair
one
more
thing:
it's
good
to
see
board
chair
Patton
with
us
today
and
I
was
wondering
if
you
could
just
give
us
an
update
on
the
new
board
he's
working
with
and
their
perspective
on
on
the
initial
movement
that's
taken
on,
since
you
all
have
taken
office
position.
Thank
you.
G
Good
morning,
thank
you,
sir.
The
board,
as
you
know,
is
you're
up
and
running.
We
have
a
whole
new
board
essentially,
and
the
board
is
committed
to
the
new
Administration
and
what
we
need
to
do
to
move
our
institution
forward.
We've
already
established
committees
that
are
advancing
the
cause
of
the
institution,
we're
involved
in
professional
development
activities.
We
have
an
oncoming
AGB,
the
association
of
governing
boards,
Travis
Powell,
has
mentioned
that
members
will
be
attending
the
of
the
CPE
development
program
as
well.
G
So
the
board
is
really
very
interested
and
very
excited
about
the
prospects.
We
understand
the
challenges,
but
we
know
that
that
that
we
have
an
Administration
in
place
that
is
dedicated
to
not
just
helping
the
institution
respond
to
various
aspects
of
the
legislation,
but
our
long-range
future
as
well.
So
the
board
is
very
proactive.
We're
as
I
said,
we're
structured,
we're
organized
we're,
moving
we're
working
with
the
cper
Committees,
and
so
we
are
very
bullish
on
our
efforts
to
improve
the
institution
and
move
it
forward.
G
So
that's
sort
of
an
overview
of
where
we
are
now
we
are
very
I-
was
very
impressed
with
Dr
Johnson's
analysis
of
the
physical
plant,
because
one
of
the
items
that
the
board
is
concerned
about
is
the
Deferred
maintenance
issues
in
the
entire
campus,
so
we'll
be
looking
at
long-range
plans
of
assessing
each
building
on
our
campus,
not
just
the
residence
halls
but
all
buildings
to
see
of
their
efficacy,
their
viability,
and
we
will
have
to
a
master
plan
to
really
address
that
particular
out
of
because,
as
far
as
the
infrastructure
of
the
institution
is
concerned,
it's
almost
as
just
as
important
as
the
academic
program.
G
You
can't
expect
students
to
come
to
a
campus
with
crumbling
infrastructure
buildings,
and
so
we
need
to
look
at
all
of
our
buildings,
including
the
academic
ones
as
well,
and
the
board
will
be
proactive
in
that
way
as
well.
So
we
are
prized
of
all
legal
aspects,
we're
active
in
that
all
litigations,
so
the
board
is
highly
engaged
and
I've
always
said
over
and
over
again
right
now
we
are
striving
to
be
a
high
performing
board
and
we're
on
our
way
to
doing
that.
G
With
great
engagement
of
all
the
members
on
the
board,
who
have
pledged
their
support
and
their
their
dedicated
service
for
the
Improvement
of
the
Kentucky
State
University.
So
we're
very
pleased
with
that
and
we're
very
pleased
with
Dr
Thompson
and
the
CPE
their
collaborative
efforts
to
really
move
our
institution
forward.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
co-chair
Tipton.
We
have
no
further
questions
at
this
time.
I
would
just
like
to
thank
KSU
for
coming
forward.
President
Thompson
and
CPE
great
presentation,
we'll
we'll
see
you
back
here
again
next
month,
appreciate
it.
Thank
you
Mr
chair.
Thank
you
committee.
A
We
do
not
have
a
quorum
to
approve
the
minutes.
Hopefully
the
Commonwealth
Will
Survive
another
month
without
without
those
approved
minutes,
do
I
have
a
motion
for
adjournment.
