The University of Kentucky Board of Trustees on Tuesday approved a major expansion of faculty benefits, including domestic partner benefits. While domestic partner benefits have become increasingly common among leading colleges and universities, public institutions in states that on the socially conservative side of the spectrum have lagged in offering the benefits. The University of Kentucky announcement noted that the benefits are offered by a majority of the universities the institution uses for benchmarking. The University of Louisville last year became the first university in Kentucky to offer the benefits, which became a recruiting issue with some of the researchers Louisville wanted to attract.
