Kentucky Post: Settlement In University Board Case Announced
Gov. Steve Beshear and Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway announced Tuesday, a settlement agreement that will resolve litigation filed by former Attorney General Greg Stumbo against former Gov. Ernie Fletcher.
“I am pleased the matter has been resolved without further litigation or detraction from the work of the universities,” said Beshear. “This settlement allows the universities to move forward in such a way that will not be disruptive, while bringing proper balance and perspective to the boards.”
Beshear and Conway have agreed that former Fletcher illegally and improperly appointed a disproportionate number of members of one political party to the boards of the University of Kentucky, University of Louisville and five of the state’s six regional universities.
