President Capilouto hears from disgruntled University of Kentucky faculty for more than two hours - Linda B. Blackford, Herald-Leader

University of Kentucky President Eli Capilouto held a lengthy, sometimes contentious meeting with faculty members Monday, in which he promised to consider their concerns over upcoming cuts, a new budgeting system and overall angst about the future of Kentucky's flagship school. However, Capilouto did not accede to a list of recommendations the University Senate made two weeks ago that included halting the next round of budget cuts altogether and cutting administrative salaries. He did say he would stop certain retirement benefits for top administrators and pledged to add more faculty to committees working on budget cuts. http://www.kentucky.com/2012/10/22/2380810/university-of-kentucky-president.html
