By Kyeland Jackson —
Overshadowed by Senate Bill 12, a new bill introduced Jan. 7 will grant Governor Matt Bevin power to replace governing boards at other universities.
Sponsored by Kentucky Senate President Robert Stivers (R-Manchester), Senate Bill 107 grants Bevin, or appointing authorities, powers to replace members or entire boards deemed dysfunctional in Kentucky. The draft determines a board or council is dysfunctional if it cannot: hold at least quarterly meetings, elect a chair and vice chair, establish a quorum, or reach consensus to execute its primary mandate.
