Ensuring Greater Trust, Transparency and Accountability

As the University of, for and with Kentucky, we hold heightened responsibilities of accountability and transparency to the people we serve.

With nearly 35,000 employees, we are the state's largest employer. We serve every community of the Commonwealth and extend care to all corners of Kentucky. Our students represent each of our 120 counties. Simply put, we are Kentucky's university.

To continue demonstrating our commitment to transparency to our community, we are putting issues, policies and documents related to the work we do to advance Kentucky on this page. 

As we continue to advance our more than 160-year-old mission, we are seeking partners to help us expand, operate more efficiently or create opportunities for our students and employees. 

These partnerships are essential to our business and our mission. We know that there is so much more we can do together than we could ever accomplish on our own — for the Commonwealth we serve and for the people who rely on us to do what only we can do. These relationships are built on trust, engagement, a commitment to a shared mission for a better tomorrow. 

As part of this transparency initiative, we are updating on a quarterly basis the travel for senior administrators.
