{Lexington, Kentucky}...University of Kentucky President Eli Capilouto has received a mostly positive review after a year on the job, but Board of Trustees Chairman Britt Brockman says the board decided against a bonus because of the tight financial situation. Brockman said the board would have liked to give Capilouto a performance bonus for "extraordinary" work on facilities and undergraduate education. Brockman said there were some areas of constructive criticism from board members and the campus community about the need for better communication during such crises as layoffs. In June, Capilouto laid off about 1 percent of the work force, which seemed to be handled differently by different departments and units. Also noted was the need to fill key leadership positions, such as provost, executive vice president for finance and lead counsel. Former West Virginia University President David Hardesty prepared the evaluation report and was paid $9,000 for the work.
