Dear President Brown:
We thank you for your staff's participation in the midterm review of the statewide strategic agenda. We have set ambitious goals for Kentucky, including the 60x30 educational attainment goal. It will take the collective work of our public institutions to make this happen, and we are happy to see our universities being proactive in their performance and target setting.
Kentucky State University has submitted the following proposed adjustments to their 2021 targets; CPE's decision on that submission follows.
| Submission request | CPE decision | ||
| Progress of Underprepared Students (English) | — | Goal of 65% achieved Revise to 70% | Accepted |
|---|---|---|---|
| Progress of Underprepared Students (Math) | — | Goal of 50% achieved Revise to 70% | Accepted |
| Average Number of Credit Hours Earned | — | Goal of 120 not met. Requested target be reduced to 135, due to enrollment and retention issues. | CPE is not accepting any reduced targets at this time. If an original target cannot be met, a narrative of that reason can be given during the annual presentation. |
