Two things people are chewing on over on R Lexington today, and both involve U-K leadership drama.

Oh no, what's happening now?

Governor Beshear just released a statement calling out the university's recent decisions, including appointing a federal judge as law school dean.

Wait, what's wrong with that appointment?

Apparently the law faculty were completely opposed to it, but the administration went ahead anyway.

That's got to create some tension on campus.

People are saying U-K keeps making these unilateral decisions without input from advisory boards or faculty.

Hold on, we've got someone calling in about this.

So there's this comment that basically says hold onto your hats because when Eric Monday becomes president, we're in for a lot more of this kind of thing.

They're already predicting the next drama?

Classic Lexington, always thinking three moves ahead.

The thread's also comparing U-K to other local administrations, saying they're all in a race for worst leadership.

Sounds like folks want more transparency across the board.

That's what the neighborhood's talking about tonight.
