By Phillip Lentsch–

Last week, Governor Matt Bevin decided not to contest the Kentucky Supreme Court’s ruling that reversed the unilateral funding cuts he ordered for all state universities.

Included in the schools that faced cuts were the University of Louisville and the University of Kentucky. U of L is currently awaiting a $2.8 million return, while UK’s share totals to about $5.6 million.

Back in September, the court ruled that Bevin was beyond his authority to impose budget cuts on state universities.
