By Kyeland Jackson —
Kentucky Senate members approved a bill abolishing U of L’s Board of Trustees, introducing a smaller board with senate-approved members.
Members contested Senate Bill 12 on the floor, debating whether the measure endangers university accreditation. Originally a bill regarding dogs, an amendment was introduced to abolish U of L’s board and address accreditation endangerment.
“We do not have the luxury of time,” Sen. Stephen West (R – Paris) said.
Sen. Reginald Thomas (D – Lexington) said approving the bill would send a bad message regarding Governor Bevin’s influence to other universities.
