The Task Force on University of Kentucky Futures: Faculty for the 21st Century's recommendations may be reviewed by clicking here.

Feb. 26, 2002 (Lexington, Ky.) -- The Task Force on University of Kentucky Futures: Faculty for the 21st Century has released its preliminary recommendations. David Watt, co-chair of the task force, presented the draft proposals in two forums on campus Friday, Feb. 22.

The recommendations presented Friday can be seen on the Futures Task Force Web site.

The group is currently accepting comment on those proposals. Comment may be made through the Web site or by e-mailing Watt or task force co-chair Eugenia Toma.

Following a two-week comment period, the group will meet again before sending its report to UK President Lee Todd. Watt expects that process to take several weeks.

In his presentations Friday Watt emphasized that if President Todd chose to pursue any of the recommendations, they would then go through another process of review by the UK Faculty Senate. The final decision would be made by the UK Board of Trustees.
