If a media availability occurs, it will be lived streamed on UK's news website, UKNow, at www.uky.edu/uknow.
The media availability is anticipated to occur Sunday, however, due to the uncertainty of the length of board discussion, a precise time is not known at this point. We will endeavor to give media advanced notice of the announcement.
