Dr. Lester Pesterfield's summer attire is blue jean shorts and a tee­ shirt, not a bow tie and jacket. His youth and excitement give him an appearance and personal­ ity more closely resembling the students he teaches than that of the stereotypical chemistry professor. Pesterfield, in his fifth year at Western Kentucky University, may be relatively new to the Hilt but he has already made an impact upon his shtdents. The winner of the 1996 Univer­ sity Award for Excellence in Teaching says that he was very surprised to receive the award. ''I'm honored," he said. "I really didn't think, being an assistant professor, I had enough time or material to stack up with some of the people who had been here 15 to 20 years." Pesterfield says he judges his success by the way students relate to him outside class.

    WKU Board of Regents ACTION ITEM FB-1 2020-21 OPERATING BUDGET REQUEST: Approve the 20120-21 Operating Budget. FACTS: The WKU 2020-21 Budget is WKU’s financial plan for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2020 and ending June 30, 2021 – it includes both the Operating and Capital Budgets for WKU. The budget document includes the following components: . Narratives by area that summarize Strategic Plan priorities; . Revenue Summary; . Expenditure Summary by Organizational Area (Unrestricted, Auxiliary Enterprises and Restricted) and Program Classification Structure (PCS); . Expenditure Detail by unit (not included in the Summary Budget); . Capital Budget; and . Supplemental Information. The Operating Budget includes Educational and General (E&G) and Auxiliary Enterprises revenues and expenditures. E&G revenue consists of unrestricted revenue (primarily state appropriation and tuition and fees) and restricted revenue (e.g., federal and state funds for student financial aid and for grants and contracts). Unrestricted funds are resources that are to be utilized at the discretion of the university. Restricted funds are separately identified resources for which external donors or agencies place limitations on how the funds may be used. Auxiliary Enterprises revenue is from the self-supporting activities of WKU such as housing (reimbursed costs from the Student Life Foundation), WKU Restaurant Group, and student fees supporting Downing Student Union operating and debt costs. The Capital Budget provides a listing of major capital and lease/purchase projects, funding sources, and the current status of these projects. The General Assembly authorizes a maximum funding for each project for a biennium. However, depending on funding available, some projects may be completed at less than the authorized amount.

    Corporation for Public Broadcasting Stabilization Funding Request and Justification FY 2021 Submitted to the Office of Management and Budget and to the House and Senate Appropriations Subcommittees on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies January 26, 2021 Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) FY 2021 Stabilization Funding Request STATEMENT OF NEED AND REQUEST The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (“CPB”) is very appreciative of the $75 million in stabilization funding in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act of 2020. This financial assistance was vital in providing stability to our nation’s public media system during the early months of the crisis. Today, we request an additional $175 million in stabilization funding to ensure the continued viability of public media stations during this period of extraordinary economic hardship. Although our data indicates that public media’s stabilization needs exceed $400 million, we are mindful of the difficult decisions the new Administration and Congress must make during this time. CPB’s mission is to ensure universal access to high-quality, non-commercial content and telecommunications services that educate, inform and enrich the public. Further, in many states and local communities, public media stations’ digital and broadcast infrastructure provide the backbone for emergency alert, public safety, first responder and homeland security services. If stations are forced to cut additional jobs or further reduce content and services, their
