Another Investigation: Adams Street Lot Incident

But that’s not all. Just a few days later, WKUPD found themselves engaged in another investigation, this time related to a student death at the Adams Street Lot. The WKU community is naturally concerned, and investigations are ongoing. The university reminds everyone to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activities as a precautionary measure.

Faculty and Staff Early Retirement

57 faculty and staff members have opted for an early retirement option. This decision was no doubt fueled by a combination of personal choice and financial considerations.
