This resolution directs the Council on Postsecondary Education to study whether Kentucky's comprehensive universities should offer more graduate-level and post-degree programs. The council must consult with university presidents to identify regional workforce and economic development needs that such programs could address. The goal is to gather information that could help match advanced education offerings to job market gaps across the state. Who it may affect: students seeking advanced degrees, comprehensive university leaders, and employers and communities with regional workforce needs.
