LEXINGTON, Ky. (Aug. 17, 2023) — The University of Kentucky is committed to providing a healthy and safe environment for its students, faculty and staff. As a recipient of federal grants, UK provides notice each year to students, faculty and staff that it is in compliance with the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988 and the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act.

The Drug-Free Policy Statement is available online.

As the state’s flagship, land-grant institution, the University of Kentucky exists to advance the Commonwealth. We do that by preparing the next generation of leaders — placing students at the heart of everything we do — and transforming the lives of Kentuckians through education, research and creative work, service and health care. We pride ourselves on being a catalyst for breakthroughs and a force for healing, a place where ingenuity unfolds. It's all made possible by our people — visionaries, disruptors and pioneers — who make up 200 academic programs, a $476.5 million research and development enterprise and a world-class medical center, all on one campus.
