FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) – Kentucky State University’s regents are meeting Monday to discuss the finalists for the university presidency.
The special meeting is at 5 p.m. in the Julian M. Carroll Academic Services Building. The board will go into closed session to discuss the finalists and pending litigation.
The school said earlier it has been gathering feedback on the finalists, who visited the Frankfort campus in late February and early March. They were interviewed by the regents and participated in forums where they answered questions from faculty, staff, students and alumni.
The three finalists for president are M. Christopher Brown of Southern University in Louisiana, Said Sewell of Lincoln University in Missouri and Oklahoma Supreme Court Justice Thomas Colbert.
