University of Kentucky provides annual drug-free policy statement
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Aug. 2, 2022) — 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.
In 2022, UK was ranked by Forbes as one of the “Best Employers for New Grads” and named a “Diversity Champion” by INSIGHT into Diversity, a testament to our commitment to advance Kentucky and create a community of belonging for everyone. While our mission looks different in many ways than it did in 1865, the vision of service to our Commonwealth and the world remains the same. We are the University for Kentucky.
