In addition, The Gold Book: Bylaws of the Kentucky State University Board of Regents, Article III, Section 3.8, requires the Board to, “annually, at its retreat, develop goals and objectives for the upcoming year and evaluate its performance from the previous year.”

As such, the Board self-evaluation process is attached for review and approval.
