“Now is the time” was a phrase said often by President Ramsey during the 12th annual State of the University address on Wednesday.
Ramsey said that now is the time for the University of Louisville to act on many of its initiatives and future plans.
This includes the University of the 21st Century Initiative, which is a strategic plan that identifies excellence, promotes multidisciplinary collaboration and streamlines administrative functions. He said the University is also ready to fight for state funding.
“On the financial front, let us note today that the 2016 legislative session of the Kentucky General Assembly is a biennial budget session and represents our best opportunity for an increase in state funding in a decade,” said Ramsey, noting that state revenues are growing after years of recession and job losses.
