MINUTES 93 THE UNIVERSITY FACULTY JULY $2» 1952

 

 

 

Dean Albright presented the proposal for a center at
Fort Knox and briefly outlined its main features. After a
discussion of this proposal and of off campus centers in gen-
eral, the Faculty voted to recommend the fort Knox Center to
the Board of Trustees with the understanding that a planning
council would work out the contractual details.

 

 

In keeping with the report of the Committee on
Composition and Role of the Faculty, University Extend-
ed Programs proposes to the University Faculty that a
University Center be established at Fort Knox, Kentucky.

Earlier Uonsideration

 

Officials of the University and of the U. S. Army
Armor Center at Fort Knox have discussed the possibility
of establishing a University Center at Fort Knox since
l954. One of the principal interests of the University
in these early discussions was the assurance of ade-
quate and continuing support of a Center by the Armor
Command. After the discussions lapsed for roughly a
year, both military and education officials at Fort
Knox requested about six months ago that the University
consider anew the establishment of a Center. Since
that time, conferences between representatives of both
agencies have been held, visits to inspect facilities
have been made, and data have been gathered. Upon the
basis of these activities and their resultants the pro-
posal to establish a University Center at Fort Knox is
presented.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Principles

Guides to be considered in determining the feasi-
bility of establishing University Centers were de—
scribed by a sub-committee in a report to the parent
Committee of Fifteen. This report was subsequently
approved and adopted and the guides, or principles,
outlined there-in have been observed and followed in
this proposal.

Population

”A sufficiently numerous population” is in Fort
Knox and is unliKely to decrease in the near future.
At present the number of people is 47,000. Among
them are:

 

Civilian - 14,000
Officers _ l,700
N C 08 - 5,000
E M - 5,000

 

 

 

 

 V1V

{a

ty

y-

1545
MINUTES pg THE UNIVHRSIEY Flowery JUL! lg, i959

The remaining number is composed of students and trainees
in military preparation.

Staffing

”There must exist in the Vicinity of the Center a reservoir
of sKills and talents from which qualified part-time instructors
may be drawn when the need arises.”

Although the teaching staff of the Center would include
full—time members, some part~time personnel would be adVisable,
as in the cases of the Northen1and Ashland Centers at present.

No exhaustive and detailed inventory of individual qualifications
in various fields has been possible, but a general survey in-
dicates the presence of many qualified persons at Fort Knox.

The existence of four allied research units, with some of the
Nation’s best qualified personnel, furnishes a rich source for
instructors, some of whom have expressed an interest and will-
ingness to teach.

Credit

”While in some instances off-campus centers offer four
years of college worn, the KentucKy Situation dictates restrictions
whereunder the student at the center can earn no more than 64
credit hours to be applied to a UniverSity of Kentucxy degree
as residence credit.” This "be credit hours” is at present b/
by Faculty action. Extension classes will be needed because some
of the population will have earned more than the b7 hours in
other institutions. no reCommendations are being made at present
for alterations in existing Faculty regulations.

Facilities

"The Center must be adequately equipped in terms of build-
ing, office and classroom space, and library and laboratory
facilities.”

Currently, 20 classrooms are available; more can be pro-
vided if needed. These spaces are varied, from 25 man rooms
with armchairs in semiopermanent buildings to 120 rooms with
tables and chairs in permanent buildings.

Office and lounge Space is available and will be ,
provided as needed. Approximately 800 square feet is
available at present for adminstrative and secretarial
personnel» ;

The library has 67,000 volumes with an annual cir-
culation of 417,000. Standard reference works and se-
lections cover many fields, particularly those of politic-
al science, history, geography, and biography. The
acquisition rate is 9,000 volumes per year with an ex— 1
penditure of $25,000.00. Trained librarians are already
employed to service the libraries.

One laboratory is presently available. This one
will require additional equipment, and more laboratory
facilities will be needed. The Armor Center has agreed '
to make necessary provisions when the University has
made the requests.

Support

”An offncampus center must enjoy the support of the
community in which it exists.”

Fort Knox is of course a different community in
many respects from the communities in which other
University Centers are in operation or are to be lo«
cated. In the case of Fort Knox, the Headquarters has
given assurance of support. The nature of this support
has been indicated in part in the preceding statements.
In effect the kind and extent of this support finan-
cially means that the costs to the University would be
almost exclusively in personnel services.

Moreover, the "educational policy of Headquarters,
U. S. Army Armor Center, is that all personnel below

required grade participate in the program.”

In considering the advisability of a Center at Fort
Knox other factors have been given attention also.

Beginning Program

 

Many of the enrollees in a Center at Fort Knox
would be worKing toward a degree. Thus, the program
should be one that Would count toward any degree the
University now offers, beginng with the freshman year.
Moreover, for the first year of a Center when con—
ditions, needs and circumstances can be more thorough-
ly studied, perhaps only a minimum program of courses
,should be attempted, for example.

r« The provision of such a program, or any part, would be con-
tingent upon the recruitment, selection and employment of quali-
fied instructors. In addition, physics la and lb and Chemistry
la and lb will require adequate laboratory facilities. In any

3 y . case, the necessary conditions for teaching will have to be satis-

fied before a course is offered.

It is probable that the beginning of residence credit offer—
ings should be supplemented by extension classes provided directly
by the University of Kentucky to serve those students who will have
earned previously a substantial number of college credits and who
desire to continue toward a degree.

Opening of a Center

 

If a Center is to be established at Fort Knox, the opening
could be effected at the beginning of the Fall semester, 1959.

Dr. Haun, Chairman of the Committee on Committees, presented a
statement of the proposed functions of the Honors Program Committee,
which had been authorized by the Faculty at the meeting of May 20.

The Faculty voted approval of the proposed functions, and also ap—
proved a motion that the Director of the Honors Program be an ex-
officio a member of the Committee, with the two at-large membersserving
in an advisory capacity.

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

. ;MINUTES 92 THE UNIVERSITY FACULTY JULY lg, 1959

At its May meeting the Faculty approved the establimp
ment of an Honors Program for the University and thereby
also created an Honors Program Committee consisting of
ten members representing the four divisions of the Arts
and Sciences College and the following six undergraduate
colleges: Agriculture and Home Economics, Education, ’
Nursing, Commerce, Pharmacy, and Engineering. The Com-
mittee on Committees recommends the following statement of
functions of the Honors Program Committee for approval by 7
the Faculty:

" "The Committee shall advise with the President
and other administrative officers in selecting a .
Director of the Honors Program.

"It shall serve in an advisory capacity to the
Director in the implementation of the long range ob-
jectives and elements delineated in the report ap-
proved by the University Faculty on May 20, 1959.
Together with the Director, the Committee shall form- »
ulate recommendations to the Faculty regarding suchxmh
ters as academic schedules; the establishment of spend
sections and seminars; the recruitment and selectionot
honors program students; and appropriate means of re-
cognizing such students. The Committee shall also am
vise on the necessary degree of financial support for
the program and on the selection of Faculty advisors
to honor students. It shall help interpret the pro-
gram and its objectives to st} er faculty, students,
alumni, and citizens. The Committee shall be respon-
sible for a continuing study and evaluation of the
program and for recommending to the Faculty such mod}
fications as seem desirable from time to time for its
improvement. It is recommended that the Committee rr‘
port to the Faculty at either the March or April meeh
ing of the Faculty each year.”

The Committee also wishes to recommend that the make—up of
the Honors Program Committee be expanded to include the
Director of the Honors Program as'an ex—officio member
and two at-large members selected without regard to their
association with any college and department. The purpose
of adding the two at—large members is to assure having on
the committee any persons of outstanding interest and abififi
to deal with this program who might otherwise be barred by
reason of the fact that another equally qualified person
already presented their department or college under the
limited ten member make- -up.
