When Kentucky State begins classes for the 2021 fall semester, students will be on campus.
The KSU Board of Regents, in its quarterly meeting held virtually Thursday, heard a report from Dr. Lucian Yates III, interim provost and vice president of academic affairs.
âGiven the statistics in the state of Kentucky, and nationally for that matter, it looks like COVID is on its way out,â Yates told the boardâs academic affairs committee.
âNot completely, some things could happen over the summer, but we have to plan with the data that we have. We make the best decision that we can, right now, given the information that we have, and it looks like the best decision is to come back to school in the fall for our students.â

More than a few of the Los Angeles Police Department officers present had no particular reason for being there as they watched, according to the independent Christopher Commission report, and others had been on the force for decades. But they all had one thing in common: None filed a formal report of misconduct, despite what they had witnessed.

Like virtually everyone, Audrey Devost’s first semester at college was a lifechanger. As a transracial adoptee who grew up in Vermont with white parents and another adopted multi-racial sibling, going to a historically Black college and university in Washington, D.C., exposed her to a world she had never really experienced.
“My friends and family would tell you, after my first semester at Howard University, I drastically changed,” she said. “But the way that it changed me going from Vermont, which is one of the whitest states in the U.S., to a historically Black university, was a very beautiful thing for my racial identity.”
