UPDATE: 2016 KCTCS LEGISLATIVE Agenda Item G-5 AGENDA / ADVOCACY CAMPAIGN December 4, 2015 At the meeting, KCTCS President Jay K. Box will provide an update on the 2016 Regular Session of the Kentucky General Assembly and the success of the Advocacy Campaign efforts of fall 2015. The KCTCS Board of Regents Bylaws Section 10.2.3 states that

The Executive Committee shall be responsible for all matters related to the overall administration of KCTCS. Specifically, the Executive Committee shall advise KCTCS and recommend action on policies related to ... legislative issues....

63

UPDATE: KCTCS BOARD OF REGENTS Agenda Item G-6 BYLAWS – TECHNICAL EDITS December 4, 2015 As part of the ongoing policy review process, technical edits have been made in the KCTCS Board of Regents Bylaws. • In Section 1.4 Process for Selection of Non-Appointed Members, a technical edit was made to

update the personnel status of faculty eligible to vote in the elections for KCTCS Faculty Regents to include the rank of “Lecturer.” This is consistent with the KCTCS Board of Regents approval of the revision of KCTCS Board of Regents Policy 2.1 KCTCS Definition of Faculty, Faculty Rank, and Faculty Titles in September 2014. The addition of “Lecturer” to the existing KCTCS faculty ranks of Instructor, Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, and Professor adds a flexible faculty rank that can provide service to a KCTCS college in response to the changing role and scope of faculty in today’s technologically advanced higher education environment. This revision creates a faculty rank that can be utilized in rapidly expanding non-traditional settings (i.e., Web-based, student learning labs), new teaching methodologies online, and hybrid course delivery.

• Additionally, a technical edit was made in Section 10.2.1 Academic Affairs and Curriculum Committee. The reference to “the Kentucky Virtual Campus” in this section is replaced with “Distance Learning” as the more updated reference to the KCTCS programs.

Attached are the technical edits presented in a “strike-thru” version and in an “as it will appear” version.
