100th Anniversary of the 19th Amendment Gov. Beshear and Lt. Gov. Jacqueline Coleman on Tuesday marked the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution with a proclamation honoring those who fought to ensure that women secured the right to vote. "We honor the approval of the 19th Amendment, and recognize the contributions made by Kentucky women and men to its ratification, including Nettie Depp, a pioneer in education who will become the first woman to be presented with a statue in a place of honor in the State Capitol," the Governor's proclamation reads, in part. "And we resolve to remember their struggle and celebrate the history of the movement, and commit to the full equality for women." For the complete text, read the full proclamation here: governor.ky.gov/attachments/100thAnniv.of19thAmendmentProclamation (PDF). After signing the proclamation, Gov. Beshear said he will give the pen he used as a gift to his daughter, Lila, as a reminder of the historic victory and advancement of women's rights. "I'm proud of our Kentucky men and women who made that historic achievement possible. In fact, in 1920, Kentucky had the highest women's voter turnout in the nation at 57%," said Lt. Gov. Coleman. "To every woman in Kentucky of voting age, this year, I challenge you to join me in beating that record set 100 years ago.

Governor's Tuesday update: 627 new cases By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear on Tuesday updated Kentuckians on the state's continuing efforts to fight the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) in the commonwealth. "We can't tell you how long we're going to be fighting it, but we're going to get through it and we're going to win," the Governor said. "To do it and to do it right, we're going to have to listen to and follow some wisdom such as this Chinese proverb: 'One moment of patience may ward off great disaster. One moment of impatience may ruin a whole life.' "We are all desperate to get back to our old lives. But if we are not patient, we put the lives of other people on the line, we put the health of our economy on the line. And we potentially threaten what we love the most - our children - and their wellbeing. At a time like this, our patience is being tested. My question is, are we going to pass that test?" Gov. Beshear also spoke about his recent orders and guidance on openings for schools and businesses. He noted that the decisions he and others in his administration have made are based on public health and pegged to information provided by the White House. The Governor noted that for the week of Aug. 8-14, the White House listed 20 Kentucky counties in the "red" zone, meaning there is a positivity rate of 10% or higher. Dozens more are in the 5-10% positivity rate "yellow" zone. Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2020-08-18 17:25:45 | Comments | Printable version

Student responsibility crucial to campus health this semester By Aaron Thompson, President Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education As the fall semester kicks off at colleges and universities across Kentucky, there is still much uncertainty. The spread of the virus is accelerating at exactly the wrong moment, threatening to undo months of planning. The decision to resume in-person operations is truly a Sophie's choice. There is no perfect solution, and for every person happy with the decision, someone else is not. As president of the Council on Postsecondary Education, I can assure you that no matter how this semester plays out, your college or university has not taken this decision lightly. Since March, I have been working with the presidents of our public institutions, the head of the Association of Kentucky Independent Colleges and Universities, Dr. Stephen Stack and Governor Beshear to ensure schools are following CDC guidelines and implementing every available measure to keep you safe. If you are a residential student heading to campus, you'll notice some big changes.
