Lexington, KY – The University of Kentucky Board of Trustees continues a series of public forums in earnest this week as part of the search for the next UK president. Chairman Britt Brockman says the board has already gotten feedback in Elizabethtown, Bowling Green and Harlan.
"We have 12 more on the tour for a total of 15. We'll have hit as far north as Covington, as far west as Henderson, south to Bowling Green, and east to Harlan. We tried to cover every aspect of the state."
