This statistic, like many others, reinforces the age-old adage that Lexington is the “Athens of the West.” While there are many engines that have contributed to Lexington’s highly educated population, the state’s flag - ship school, the University of Kentucky (UK), has clearly demonstrated their commitment to empowering stu - dents and faculty with over $2.3 billion of investments in residential, community, academic, research, health care, and athletics facilities since 2011. All this investment has attracted the very best and brightest students to UK. As such, UK is among the top 10 public universities in the country enrolling National Merit, National Achievement, and National Hispanic Scholars. These students

  • Brothers, Sheila
    Brothers, Sheila From: Cramer, Aaron Sent: Friday, March 01, 2019 9:16 AM To: Bird-Pollan, Jennifer; Brothers, Sheila Cc: Toma, E Subject: NEW BA: Public Policy Attachments: PPL Undergraduate Degree Full Proposal- Updated 2.18.2019.pdf Proposed New BA in Public Policy This is a recommendation that the University Senate approve, for submission to the Board of Trustees, the establishment of a new BA degree: Public Policy, in the Martin School of Public Policy and Administration within the Graduate School. Rationale: The proposed undergraduate program will focus on how public policy decisions are made, how public policy can affect various members of society, and how leadership is exercised in the public and nonprofit sectors. Thirty years ago, there were few undergraduate programs in this area, but there has been strong growth nationally in such offerings (50% of programs now offering such degrees, strong demand at peer institutions). The program focuses on analytical and quantitative tools for understanding and measuring the effects of existing and proposed public policies. The program will prepare some students for graduate study and others for careers in law, education, public and nonprofit organizations, and federal/state/local government. Enrollment of 30 new students per year is anticipated. SAPC Statement: SAPC considered the potential negative impacts on the Department of Political Science (indicated within the proposal). While it remains possible that the proposed program may negatively affect the enrollment numbers in the political science undergraduate programs, it is clear that there is not a curricular overlap between the existing degree programs and the proposed program.
