MINUTES OF THE UNIVERSITY FACULTY, MAY 15, 1965

The University Faculty met in regular session at 4:00 p.m., Monday,
May 15, 1965 in the Assembly Room of Lafferty Hall. President Dickey presided.

The minutes of March 11, 1963 were approved as circularized.

Dean Carpenter presented a request from the College of Commerce to waive
the two—drop rule for James Walton Compton. He stated that Mr. Compton trans-
ferred 65 hours of advanced credit to the University from Morehead State College;
that in four semesters here he attempted 56 hours and earned 100 points, and
that personal obligations to family and necessity to earn money limited his grade
potential. The Faculty approved the request for waiver of the two-drop rule for
Mr. Compton and the Chairman directed Dean Carpenter to notify him that he is
approved for readmission to the 1965 Fall Semester.

Dr. Weaver, Chairman of the University Faculty Council, presented the recom-
mendations from the College of Nursing circulated under date of May 2, 1963 for
establishment of a nursing program at Northwest Center, Henderson.

The College of Nursing submits herewith recommendations pertaining
to the establishment of a complete two year nursing program at the
University of Kentucky Community College in Henderson, beginning with the
fall semester of 1963. The proposed program is presented as being within
the approved functions of the Community Colleges, namely to offer certain
technical or pre—professional terminal programs.

This proposal has been developed in consultation with the departments
concerned on the main University campus, with the staff of the Community
Colleges at Henderson and with the Office of the Dean of Extended Programs.
It has been reviewed and approved by the University Administration and,
therefore, is being submitted for the endorsement of the University Faculty.

Because many of the considerations pertinent to the administrative
review should prove helpful to members of the University Faculty in under-
standing this proposal fully, much of this material is included in the
present memorandum. '

Specifically, the College of NUrsing requests of the University Faculty
the following actions:

1. Endorsement of the proposed program.
2. Approval of the proposed curriculum with the understanding that

any courses not previously approved by the University Faculty will

be presented for review and approval at a later date but before being pg;

taught.
3. Reconsideration of the credential to be granted for satisfactory

completion of a terminal program. The College of NUrsing requests
approval of the "Associate Degree" as the credential to be granted
by the University for satisfactory completion of the nursing program

as outlined in this document.

The reasons for these requests are developed in the memorandum attached.

MINUTES OF THE UNIVERSITY FACULTY, MAY 15, 1963

The Associate Degree Program in Nursing, which is a complete
program of two years' duration, is designed to prepare technically
competent nurses who can give adequate bedside nursing care in the
hospital setting under the direction of a professional nurse. The
curriculum is designed to insure the student's eligibility to write
the State licensing Examination so that upon successfully passing
this examination she will qualify for practice as a registered nurse.

This program is preposed as one step in meeting a critical need
for nurses which exists nationally and is especially acute in
Kentucky. The nursing shortage is one of the most serious problems
confronting the State and nation in providing adequate health ser-

vices.

The proposed program will prepare many young men and women

in the State for nursing positions.

To understand the role of the Associate Degree program in
meeting our needs for nurses, it may be helpful to the University
to understand the various nursing education programs which exist

today.

5.

These are:

Senior College or University program leading to a
baccalaureate degree, usually four years in length.

Junior or Community College program leading to an Associate
Degree usually two years in length.

Hospital School program leading to a diploma, usually three
years in length.

Vocational School or hospital program in practical nursing
leading to a certificate or diploma, usually one year in
length.

University programs leading to Masters and doctoral degrees.

Specialization and differentiation of function have developed
in nursing as in other fields as modern medical care has become more
highly specialized and complex. Although there are many individual

exceptions to the rule, we are looking increasingly to the baccalaureate

programs to prepare nurses who have the potentialities for providing
Specialty nursing service, for leadership and supervision in the
provision of general nursing services. The hospital training schools
and Associate Degree programs prepare a nurse who is technically
proficient in providing skilled nursing services in a hospital or
institution under the supervision of a more qualified professional

nurse .

The practical nurse can perform under supervision the many

relatively simple duties that require less skill and understanding.
In short, this differentiation of function, which is evolving, per-
mits greater efficiency in the use of scarce nursing personnel and
greater economy in the preparation of nurses.

The vast majority of nurses needed for providing direct services
to patients must come from the Associate Degree Programs, hospital
schools of nursing and schools of practical nursing. For many
reasons, hospital schools of nursing have been decreasing in number
although their enrollment has remained stationary. They have not
been growing to meet the requirements of a rapidly growing society.
On the other hand, the Associate Degree programs are the most

rapidly growing program of education for registered nurses that we

have. The practical nurse schools have also been growing. Thus

the Associate Degree programs are looked to meet the needs for the
numbers of trained bedside nurses needed; the Baccalaureate programs
for leadership and specialist personnel.

At such time as the proposed nursing program in Henderson becomes
well established, the nursing faculty assigned to the Community College
program will participate in an active extension of the College of
Nursing's Continuing Education program. This is considered as an
essential service to the State for the improvement of nursing care.

Thus, it is apparent that this program can serve an important
purpose in Kentucky.

As a result of our feasibility studies in the Henderson area,
a high degree of interest in this proposed program has been exhibited
by community leaders and by the Community College staff. It commands
a high degree of enthusiasm and public support.

If this interest and support and if the public expectation for
the establishment of a program in Henderson is delayed, the community
support and interest will be dissipated, and the University's
potential for leadership will be reduced. There will be a lose of
prestige and support which may not be recaptured for a number of years.

The University of Kentucky, in fulfilling its responsibilities
to the citizens of the Commonwealth, has accepted responibility for
the development, coordination and supervision of the State—supported
Community College system. The University Faculty has approved the
concept of the two year terminal program, which, within the traditional
Community College concept is technical or pre-professional in nature
and is oriented toward community needs. Thus far, the University of
Kentucky has not developed a technical and terminal program within
its Community College centers and the nursing program would seem to
be ideal for this purpose. Through this program, the University is
in a position to demonstrate the values of a high quality, technical
program and to give leadership in this important area.

Relationships which have been established between the University
of Kentucky units on the Lexington campus and the Community Colleges
will be applicable to the nursing program. The College of NUrsing
will have the administrative supervision and control of the program
and its curriculum and it will be responsible for the teaching of
nursing courses.

Nursing courses offered at the Community College will be approved
by the College of Nursing and submitted to the University Faculty
for approval through appropriate channels. Courses offered by other
departments in the nursing program will require appropriate review
by the sponsoring department and approval by the University Faculty
if the courses have not been approved already. Appropriate officials
from the College of Nursing, Extended Programs, and other colleges
and departments of the University which will be involved, must work
together in reaching decisions pertinent to the program.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

MINUTES OF THE UNIVERSITY FACULTY, MAY 13, 1965

Students in the program will meet the admission requirements
established for the Community Colleges and such additional require—
ments as the College of Nursing specifies. It is anticipated that
classes of 25-55 students will be enrolled.

Faculty at the Center teaching nursing courses will be officially
appointed to the College of Nursing faculty and assigned to the
Community College. Such assignments will be approved jointly by
the Dean of the College of Nursing and the Dean of Extended Programs
and will be acceptable to the Chief Administrative Officer of the
Community College. These faculty members.Will meet the requirements
now established for appointment to the College of Nursing faculty.

A minimum preparation of a masters degree is required with exceptions
permitted only for unusual situations. There should be no serious
recruiting problem for qualified faculty for a variety of reasons.
The College of NUrsing has now a qualified faculty member willing

to assume the direction of the proposed program in Henderson.

A survey has been made of the Henderson area by a professional
consultant in company with the Dean of the College of Nursing and
the Dean of Extended Programs. It has been determined that the
hospitals and health agencies within the Henderson area are adequate
for providing clinical experience and instruction for the students
and that the staffs are interested and willing to cooperate
effectively with the proposed program. Similarly, it has been
determined that the available space and facilities within the
College at Henderson are adequate for the conduct of the nursing
program.

The administrative officers of the University, the Medical
Center, and the College of Nursing have considered the budgetary
requirements and implications of the proposed program. The funds
required for activating this program will be carried in the College
of Nursing budget and will not curtail the normal growth and develop-
ment of existing programs. It is believed that the extensive
community involvement and support that the program will command should,
in time, strengthen public support and financial backing for the
University and its total program.

II. Curriculum Considerations

It is not possible to present a definitive curriculum prior
to obtaining a commitment for activating a program. Decisions con—
cerning some non-nursing courses such as Anatomy and Physiology,
the exact content and sequence of courses, and the integration of
classroom work with clinical practice, will require extensive
faculty time for planning. This will involve not only the Nursing
faculty but, also, other members of the University Faculty. In
addition, it will require much work with the staff cooperating
hospitals and health agencies. Work involving a time commitment
of this magnitude on the part of University Faculty members and the
staff of hospitals and health agencies is not considered appropriate
and cannot be effective unless there is a commitment to activate the
program and this commitment is known by all concerned. The tentative

curriculum outline presented below, however, has been developed with
consultations with the chairman and sometimes other representatives of

the departments concerned, viz., chemistry, zoology, psychology, sociology,
anatomy and physiology. These consultations have been sufficient to insure
that acceptable courses can be offered. Except for courses in anatomy and
physiology and in nursing, no new courses requiring University Faculty
approval are being proposed.

In considering the curriculum outline, it is important for members of
the University Faculty to keep in mind the vocational objectives of the
program, the needs of the students in the various subject matter areas,
and the total time available. Nursing as an applied science and art, ‘,,
requires a broad background from many fields but it does not require a detailediifi
knowledge or great depth in many of these fields. An introduction to some of ‘ ‘
the major concepts and principles of the physical, biological and social
sciences should be provided. These concepts can be supplemented and their
application developed in the nursing courses to the extent that these are
relevant for nursing practice. This approach has been found to be highly
satisfactory in Associate Degree Programs develOped elsewhere. In addition
to nursing courses and the science background, other curriculum elements
generally found in these programs include communication skills and electives.

The tentative curriculum outline presented below has been developed
with these considerations in mind. It may be of interest, also, to know that
the curriculum has been developed on the principle that the basic courses
will make up 40 to 50 percent of the curriculum time and nursing courses
50 to 60 percent. Nursing laboratory courses (clinical practice) will
carry a ratio Of 1 credit hour for 3 clock hours of work. As a terminal
program, the general or basic courses need not necessarily be satisfactory
as prerequisites for additional University work in the subject matter areas.
Whether or not they are a satisfactory prerequisite is a decision which
rests entirely with the University departments concerned.

Within the broad objective of preparing technically competent nurses
for bedside nursing care in the hospital, the program has a number of dew
tailed objectives. The more important ones are to help the student acquire:

l. Skill in giving intelligent and safe nursing care under the
guidance of a professional nurse. A planned approach to nursing
care based on scientific knowledge is required.

2. Sufficient understanding of the principles of the physical, V
biological and social sciences for the level of these responsibilities
and the ability to apply these principles in giving direct nursing
care to patients within the hospital.

3. An understanding of the social, ethical, and legal responsibilities
of the individual practitioner of nursing.

4. An understanding of the organized nursing profession and nursing
organizations on a local, state and national level.

5. Reasonable skill in communicating effectively.

The curriculum outlined proposed is as follows:

III. The Associate Degree as the Necessary Credential for the
Community College Nursing Program

The College of Narsing considers it essential that an
Associate Degree be awarded as the appropriate credential upon
the satisfactory completion of the preposed program. The granting
of an Associate Degree is the general practice of educational

institutions offering a two year nursing program.

It would be

virtually impossible to recruit qualified nursing faculty for an

institution which failed to
program.

In order to understand
information may be helpful:

give this kind of recognition for the

this situation, the following background

The following are the nationally recognized credentials for
various kinds of nursing programs:

Baccalaureate Programs

Community College two-year programs
Hospital Training School Programs
Practical Nurse Programs

Bachelors Degree

an Associate Degree

a Diploma

a Diploma or a
Certificate

The National League for Nursing is the national agency primarily
concerned with nursing education and it has a Department of Diploma
and Associate Degree Programs.

Funds for scholarships
upon national accreditation

and other purposes are often dependent
by the N. L. N.

 

*At present there is no facility and no course offered in Sociology

at Henderson.

We believe that this deficiency can be overcome by

the time the course will need to be taught and will cooperate with

Dr. Coleman toward this end.

Associate Degree programs, existing in 20 states, were first
established in 1952 and there are now 84 such programs; The Associate
Degree credential is the only one recognized for these pregrams and
it has not presented problems with the accreditation of the sponsoring
institution.

At the last meeting of the University Faculty, it was suggest that
the awarding of an Associate Degree might endanger the accreditation status
of the University of Kentucky. lids question has been explored with
the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in Atlanta, Georgia.
According to Mr. Gordon W. Sweet, Executive Secretary of the Association,
the University of Kentucky Community Colleges can be classified appropriately
as ”branches" rather than as ”centers“ and as such there would be no problem
of accreditation if an Associate Degree was offered.

The Degree of supervision of a “branch” exercised by the University'
in Lexington and, thus, the degree of autonomy exercised by a Community
College ”branch”, is a matter for University determination. Mr. Sweet
feels that the University of Kentucky Community Colleges, as they develop
terminal programs, will and should be moving in the direction of typical
community colleges, which, as part of a University system, are considered
as ”branches”. As he sees it, our problem is thus a semantic one which
the University can resolve as it wishes. Hence, it may be concluded with
confidence that there will be no problem relative to University accreditation
if the Associate Degree credential is authorized. There are ample precedents
within the State and region to justify the Associate Degree credential.

Dr. Weaver stated that the Council wished to recommend to the Faculty approval
of item 1, endorsement of the proposed program, in principle, which meant en~
dorsement as a type of program that is appropriate to the functions of a Center
described by the University Faculty statement of March ll, 1963, and approval

of item 3 to offer an Associate Degree instead of a certificate. He stated that
such action would reverse the decision of the University Faculty at its Marchll,
1965 meeting only as it applied to the technical or terminal—type nursing
program to be offered at Northwest Center and would not affect the action taken
by the Faculty at that meeting to grant an Associate in Arts certificate in
recognition of those who complete programs of work in the community colleges.

He stated that item 2 was not being recommended by the Council at this time since
further detailed preparation of courses and curricula would be required. The
University Faculty approved endorsement of the proposed program, in principle,
and the granting of an Associate Degree on successful completion of the nursing
program at Northwest Center.

 

Dr. Weaver announced to the Faculty that all course changes which had been
approved and were in the process of being circulated, as well as any comtemplated
to be offered for the 1965 Fall Semester should be circulated within the 10-day
period prior to the special meeting of the Faculty to approve degree candidates
so that all course changes could be cleared before the fall semester opening.

He also announced that a revision of the proposal for creation of the Faculty
Council and Committee on Curriculum was being circulated and would be considered
at the next Faculty meeting.

Dr. Knisely, Chairman of the Library Committee, presented an informal report
of that Committee after which Dr. Dickey extended his appreciation and that of the
Faculty to Dr. Knisely and the Library Committee for the very splended job they had
done in learning so much of the Library and its functions and in transmitting this
knowledge to the Faculty. The Faculty approved a motion to accept the report to
be made a part of these University Faculty minutes.

MINUTES OF THE UNIVERSITY FACUUPY, MAY 15, 1963

The Library Committee is now a committee of the University Faculty,
although it has previously been an administrative committee. The committee
discussed its role and arrived at the conclusion that it should address
itself to the desires of the faculty and student body in regard to the
libraries and it should help interpret the library’s needs and problems
to the staff and students. It should also help clarify these matters to
the administration of the University.

The Library Committee has discussed a number of specific problems
of which individual members were aware and has address these problems to
the library staff. The committee has also informed itself about the operatiml
of the libraries through the process of addressing questions to the
library staff. Questions regarding the sources of funds and the methods
by which distributions of funds are made have been discussed. The point
was brought out that three librarians' salaries are shared by Geology,
Education, and Mathematics. Also, the College of Education, and
Architecture and Home Economics, among others, have contributed money
for student services from their own budgets.

It was established that the Mathematics Library will have a full
time librarian for the first time next year. Then, Agronomy and Horticulture

will remain the only libraries not completely covered by full time
librarians.

Discussion was held on the question of where and what determines the
starting of a new branch library. Discussion was also held on the proper
relationship between adequate library services and the establishment of
new university centers. In each case it was determined that a necessary
exchange of information must occur among the library staff, the part of
the university concerned, and the administration of the university so

that the educational and research needs of the given part of the University
can be planned for and met.

The library shared in the distribution which was made this year of
the non-recurring funds.

Mrs. Hammer reported to the committee on the first year's operation
of what has been termed an "open budget". "Open budget" means that all
funds previously assigned to departments have been available for general
usage by all departments. Mrs. Hammer stated that the budget had worked
well, that where a department had early spent or overspent the proportion
of the total previously assigned to it she had been forced to notify the
department that this was the case; but, that in general departments seem—
ed to be using their money more wisely than had been the case previously.
0f the 36 campus departments concerned, all seemed to be relatively

well satisfied and out of $170,000, $700 remained at the time of her
report.

Some specific problems reported to the committee by the library
staff include the following. A large amount of time must be utilized in
such processes as searching titles for specific items in order to be sure
that information about a given item is accurate. At the present time
there are between 200,000 and 300,000 uncatalogued volumes, and special
funds are needed for procesSing them. The need for funds for acquisition,
processing, and servicing of books must be kept in proportion within the

total number of dollars available as well as the proportions necessary to

the purchase of books and journals. The inadequacies of funds for the several
aspects of ”service” make the purchases relatively less useful than they

might be otherwise.

The future demans on the library have been outlined. If, at the present
time, all volumes were removed from the Annex and basement of Memorial Hall
and placed on.the shelves there would be no free shelving left within the
library, including the first addition. The numbers of students utilizing
the study facilities of the library have been increasing steadily. This appears
to be a result of several factors. One is the university's effort to admit
better students, a policy actively begun in 1959 and a policy which is reflected
in the continueing reduction of failure rates in all semesters. This policy
has been guaranteeing better students; and, more library use from that stand-
point. Also, it is responsible for a slight increase in the student body as
the result of the less failures.

The decision of the University Faculty to eliminate the requiring of
Physical Education may shift students into courses requiring more library
work. However, the University Faculty‘s decision to eliminate the require—
ment of Military Science is guaranteed to shift a large number of students
into more courses requiring reading work. Based upon estimates from what
has happened from other Land grant colleges where similar actions have been
taken, approximately 50% will want to register for other courses. During this
coming academic year when freshmen are not required and the following one when
freshmen and sophomores are not required to take military science, this will
mean a large increase in enrollment of such courses without any increase in
total number. This will markedly increase library usage. Undoubtedly the
most significant chane in the University of Kentucky in terms of increasing
demand on the library facilities, including staff time, is the clearly stated
present policy of shifting the University's efforts towards graduate education
and research. Again, if no increase in numbers took place and if only a larger
percentage of the present population become graduate students and research workers
there will be a non—proportional increase in demands made on the libraries.
Based upon figures quoted by Dr. Albright at Carnahan House and elsewhere, it
is likely that not only will a larger percentage of the University be made up
of graduate workers and research scholars but the number of graduate workers
will increase several fold.

Thus, each of several changes in the University implies increased demands
on the library. And, these demands should be anticipated and planned for and
not merely expected. '

The individual members of the Library Committee recognize our own
inadequacies in terms of knowledge and understanding of the total library
structure. Therefore, it is our intention during the next several months
to visit one branch after another and to study the relations among staffing,
volume of material, magnitude of demands on the staff and material, and a critical
evaluation of the facilities themselves, in order to inform ourselves and the
Faculty better about the University's library needs.

The Committee recognizes its inability to give adequate advice to the
Faculty or the Administration at the present time and it is preparing to do
so at allater date. To aid in this process, the committee requests that anyone
who has any questions or criticisms about the library or any suggestions for
the Library, make them known to any member of the committee, with the understand-
ing that they will be brought to the full committee's attention.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

     

 
  
  
 
 
    
    
    

 

 

 

 

 

 

MINUTES OF THE UNIVERSITY FACUUTY, MAY 13, 1963

In this regard, at this time the Committee suggests that the -
Faculty Council should establish with the Administration a system of {
appointments for the University Library Committee which will both \
guarantee continuity in the committee and also guarantee sufficient ‘
rotation so that a number of faculty members can become informed first {
hand about the libraries. ‘
I

Past support of the Library has been at the level of approximately

2.8% to 2.9 % of the total budget of the University. This is seen to be}
inadequate for the future by the group of educators who have recently

considered the budgets for all of the state's educational institutions. [
They suggested 5.5% for library purposes. However, the Committee wishes}
at this time to express its thanks to the administration of the Universfiy
and the State of Kentucky for the assistance which has been given in I
recent years. 1

Specifically, the Committee wishes to state on behalf of the
library staff, that it hopes that the next President and his
Administration will hold the library's needs in the same priority as i
the present administration has held them. The Committee believes
that this statement clarifies adequately the library staff's attitude I
about recent activities in this regard. The Committee wants to add, ‘
however, that more staff are needed, and that salaries must be [
competitive in libraries as in other academic aspects of the
University. I
