The University of Kentucky submits this UK Diversity Plan (2017-2022) in accordance with the Kentucky Council on Post-Secondary Education (CPE) Diversity Policy. We have put forward an ambitious plan that narrows our focus onto eight goals and seventeen strategies that we believe will have the best chance of getting University of Kentucky to our goals in the areas of Opportunity, Success, and Impact. Each goal has associated metrics and strategies. Each strategy has an identified responsible office and an
assessment plan. The University of Kentucky is committed to diversity and inclusion as a core value and
will pursue each of these enumerated strategies to the best of our ability. We are also committed to
reviewing the impact our strategies are having on our desired outcomes, and adjusting our course if
necessary. Assessment findings available: http://www.uky.edu/diversity/sites/www.uky.edu.diversity/files/pr3.pdf
