Gov. Matt Bevin has selected 10 people to serve on the newly-reconstructed University of Louisville board of trustees.
The Postsecondary Nominating Committee met last Friday to come up with a short list of 30 people for the board. Bevin whittled the list down to finalists by later in the day.
“I thank those who have worked so quickly," Bevin said. "The nominating committee that worked so diligently to expedite this process.”
The legislature voted to reorganize the UofL board earlier this month after the school’s accreditation was put on probation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
The organization said the sanctions were due to the governor’s overhaul of the UofL board last summer, calling it “undue political influence.”
Faculty and student advocates have argued that the legislature’s reorganization of the board does nothing to resolve the school’s accreditation issues.
