肯塔基州州长对大学领导层“失去信心”，因体育总监退休后职位及法学院院长任命引发争议
Read, Watch or Listen
Lexington, Ky. Gov. Andy Beshear said this week he is "losing confidence" in University of Kentucky leadership after the school announced a post-retirement role for Athletic Director Mitch Barnhart and a law-dean appointment reportedly at odds with faculty recommendations; Barnhart will step down June 30 and the new role is scheduled to begin July 1. This week Beshear's social-media statement, posted April 21, cited concerns about an undefined, near-$1 million executive-in-residence contract and warned of donor influence; the announcement has prompted prominent supporters to ask the university to reverse the offer and increased scrutiny of university governance, contracts, and faculty involvement in hiring decisions.
