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
