Collier was an instructor of history at Morehead State University from September, 1965, to May, 1967. He was granted a leave of absence because of illness for the 1967-68 academic year. His illness proved fatal and he never returned to the classroom.

Collier Lecture Series and receive funds from other donors to expand and extend the series. Minutes of March 26, 1969, contTd 3. STUDENTS ADDED TO COMMITTEES At a meeting of the Administrative Council on January 8, 1969, the Council voted unanimously to request the faculty to modify its regulations to permit two graduate students to be added to the Graduate Council and two students to be added to the Committee on Admissions. These recommendations were approved by the faculty on January 21, 1969. I ask that the Board of Regents concur in these changes in committee membership to permit student representation. 4.

TENURE POLICIES The policies of the University have been modified at different times in an effort to bring them into conformity with accepted practice in sound administration. The policy changes proposed in Exhibit 4 have been approved by the Administrative Council and the faculty. I recommend that the Board approve the proposed changes in policies relating to faculty tenure. 6.

REORGANIZATION OF THE SCHOOL OF SOCIAL SCIENCES I recommend that the School of Social Sciences be reorganized as follows: Department of History Department of Political Science Department of Sociology Department of Economics Department of Geography Minutes of March 26, 1969, cont ' d 9. PROGRAM IN AFRO-AMERICAN HISTORY We are making every effort to modify and expand our program offerings to fit the needs of our students and to meet the demands of our times. Many of our campus problems can be solved if we are wise enough to stay ahead of the demands and requirements of our students. Consequently, we have organizaed and are offering a course entitled, The Negro in American History, which is being taught by Dr. Broadus B. Jackson. The course is being taught this semester and will be offered during the 1969 summer term as a part of a larger program in Negro history. Exhibit 6 is a description of the course, History 430G, and an announcement that appeared in the Kentucky School Journal indicating that Dr. Victor Howard will teach a course entitled, The Slavery Controversy in the United States, and that Dr. Perry E. LeRoy will teach a course entitled, Africa to 1900, We believe this program will prove prof itable to students and teachers-- both white and black. 10. MAJOR IN URBAN AFFAIRS The Committee on Undergraduate Curriculum has recommended and the faculty has approved a major area of study in urban affairs, We feel that students who leave rural America and find employment in urban communities or who come to the University and return to their urban communities to find employment should be provided an opportunity to learn some of the problems and their solutions relating to urban life. I recommend that the Board of Regents approve the following curriculum for a ma.jor in urban affairs: For the Major in Urban Affairs (Non-Teaching) Semester Hours Geography410. ............ 3 History 456 .............. 3 PoliticalScience300 ......... 3 Sociology 101 and 3 23 ......... 6 Special Problems in Urban Affairs ............ 3 Electives selected from the following : .......... -12 Economics 201, 302, and 441 Geography 250 Political Science 242 Sociology 3 74 It is strongly suggested that students with a major in Urban Affairs include Computer Programming 210 and Mathematics 353 in their program 6 Minutes of March 26, 1969, cont'd 11, RESERVE OFFICERS ' TRAINING CORPS The Board of Regents accepted an ROTC unit for the campus of Morehead State University on January 31, 1968. The original agreement required all male freshmen and sophomores enrolled as full-time students to register for military science courses. However, we have found that under present circumstances it has become advisable to make the program compulsory for freshmen only. Exhibit 7 presents the correspondence we have had with the Commanding General of the First Army. I recommend that the Board of Regents approve the amendment to the agreement with the First United States Army to require courses in Military Science for freshmen only and to provide elective courses and activities in the Department of Military Science for sophomores, juniors and seniors, 12. RULES GOVERNING STUDENT CONDUCT Exhibit 8 is a ruling from the Attorney General regarding the authority of Boards of Regents to establish rules governing the conduct and behavior of students living in campus facilities. 13.
