This presentation is motivated by these needs and aims to help flight training professionals to make informed decisions when designing and conducting flight training events. Based on a conceptual framework of cognitive and behavioral theories in learning, a variety of common training …

Report On Spending For Intercollegiate Athletics, Wku University Senate

Faculty Senate

The committee concludes there is no strong evidence linking successful athletic programs with either fund-raising activities or patterns of enrollment at Western Kentucky University. Moreover, we find that the established university budget has repeatedly failed to restrain spending in this area. As a result, intercollegiate athletics has persistently been plagued with budget overruns, especially in 1982-83 and 1983-84 when expenditures exceeded the budget by more than 20% each year. Football has played a major role in creating the current situation. In light of all this, the committee recommends the university study the feasibility of moving to Division III in football. …
