Approval to Renew the Personal Service Contract (PSC) with Johnson, Bowman & Branco, LLP
Attorney William “Bill” Johnson has served honorably as Kentucky State University's primary outside counsel for over 50 years. At its November 17, 2022, meeting, the Executive Committee of the Board of Regents approved Attorney Johnson's amended PSC with the University. The amended PSC allowed Attorney Johnson to continue his representation of the University, its Board of Regents, and its employees in legal matters that include, but are not limited to, intellectual property, contract disputes, claims of constitutional and statutory deprivations, and discrimination. The amended PSC is set to expire on June 30, 2023. Per the terms of the amended PSC, the parties have one (1) optional one-year renewal. The Board's approval would allow the University to exercise that renewal option and retain Attorney Johnson's services for another year.
