Dear ___: Due to the sudden economic impact resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Kentucky State University Board of Regents voted at its May 5, 2020 special-called Board of Regents meeting to approve an action directing Kentucky State University to implement immediate measures to ensure its financial stability through an immediate reduction in force. As a result of that Board action, Kentucky State faced the difficult task of implementing a campus-wide reduction of personnel based on a thorough review of its current workforce, the distribution of labor, and costs given the current financial and enrollment considerations.
