On Friday, February 2, 2018, the Council on Postsecondary Education approved campus diversity plans for the public four-year universities and the 16 colleges of the Kentucky Community and Technical College System. The five-year plans aim to boost enrollment, retention, and graduation rates of students, particularly underrepresented minorities and low-income students. The plans also promote workforce diversity and inclusive and supportive campus environments. CPE President Bob King said these plans represent an unyielding commitment to diversity and inclusion, where all students, faculty, and staff can thrive and feel welcome on our campuses. Kentucky is the only state in the nation to develop a statewide policy that ties campus performance on diversity, equity, and inclusion goals to new academic program approval eligibility. Campuses will be evaluated annually on progress towards goals and the implementation of related strategies.
