By Shelby Brown–

The Kentucky Supreme Court dismissed the case on Governor Matt Bevin’s authority to abolish or reorganize U of L’s board of trustees. The court declined a ruling because Bevin had rewritten the law, empowering him to reorganize the board.

Bevin’s office released a statement on Twitter commending the court’s decision, saying it underscored the Governor’s original commitment to reform the board.

“Today puts an end to Attorney General Andy Beshear tossing the future of the University of Louisville around like a political football,” Bevin’s Twitter statement said.
