RECEIVED AUG 03 2013 Kentucky State University Office of the President

July 30, 2018

Dr. M. Christopher Brown, II President and Chief Executive Officer Kentucky State University 400 East Main Street Hume Hall, Suite 201 Frankfort, KY 40601

Dear Dr. Brown:

Thank you for your letter of April 18, 2018, notifying the Commission of modifications to the institution's mission statement. In preparation for its decennial reaffirmation accreditation, the institution noted several versions of its mission statement which had not been edited for grammar or syntax. Following campus-wide input and internal ratification, the final edited mission statement was approved by the Kentucky State University Board of Regents. A crosswalk between earlier versions of the mission statement and the final edited mission statement was included.

The revised mission statement appears to be a result editorial changes and clarifications and not a substantive change in the established mission or objectives of the institution and, therefore, is not a substantive change requiring approval.

We acknowledge the information and will add it to our files.

Sincerely, Sincerely, Sincerely,

Kevin W. Sightler, PhD.

Director of Substantive Change
