CPE study of four-year school possibility moving in the Kentucky General Assembly
An examination of higher education access in southeastern Kentucky would come under review with the final passage of a Senate resolution. The call for a study is moving in the State Legislature.
The resolution asks the Council on Postsecondary Education to explore the feasibility of converting Hazard Community and Technical College into a four-year institution. It passed out of the Senate Friday. GOP Bill Sponsor Senate President Robert Stivers said there are no preconceived notions.
“I believe this is the process to ultimately get to a policy consideration. This is not policy. This is a process to see what the appropriate policy should be,” said Stivers.
The Senate leader said he’s hasn’t heard any comments about singling out HCTC for such a review, adding he’s not heard anything on this topic from other university officials.
It is one of three resolutions regarding higher education issues. Lexington Democratic Senator Reggie Thomas asked in committee, why not put all the issues in one measure?
“Let’s put everything on the table it seems to me and look at what kind of graduate programs we’re going to give them, look at what kind of tranches of money that we’re going to use to fund special projects,” said Thomas.
Two other resolutions deal with studying postbaccalaureate programs at EKU, WKU, and Murray and to examine significantly boosting overall research collaboration statewide. Robert Stivers said singling out the HCTC issue signals a clear direction and gives priority in a separate resolution.

GEORGETOWN, Ky. (WKYT) – A central Kentucky city has been named as one of the best places for families to live.
Fortune recently ranked Georgetown 40th on its list of the 50 best places for families.
Fortune analyzed more than 2,000 cities across the country. The publication says the ones that made it to the top scored high on things like health care, education, affordability, and resources for seniors.
Fortune cited Georgetown’s location in Kentucky’s prosperous Golden Triangle, quality educational options, and job opportunities at Toyota Georgetown as among the reasons for the city’s high ranking.

Last season, Kentucky’s team was full of five-star talent, and many of those players didn’t live up to the five-star hype in Lexington. One of those players was Aaron Bradshaw. Last season, Bradshaw averaged 4.9 points and 3.3 rebounds while shooting 28.6% from three. Bradshaw missed the beginning of the season due to a foot injury, but he wasn’t great once healthy outside of a few games.
Despite not having the best freshman season, when watching Bradshaw on the floor, it was very clear that he possesses a ton of upside. When John Calipari left for Arkansas, Bradshaw decided to transfer to Ohio State, where he will look to have a big season.
Myron Medcalf and Jeff Borzello of ESPN had this to say about Bradshaw being a breakout candidate this season, “Don’t give up on your Bradshaw stocks just yet, despite him barely playing down the stretch of Kentucky’s season. A former McDonald’s All-American and the No. 6 prospect in the 2023 class, Bradshaw was hampered by a foot injury last offseason and delayed his debut until December. He did show flashes of his enormous potential: 17 points and 11 boards against Penn, 12 points against North Carolina.”
When watching Bradshaw last season, it was clear that if he puts on a little bit of muscle and plays stronger down low, he could be an elite big man in college hoops. It wouldn’t come as a surprise if Bradshaw had a massive season for the Buckeyes and gets drafted in the first round of the 2025 NBA Draft.
