Gov. Beshear Appoints 2 New Members to University of Louisville Board of Trustees

by, Killian Baarlaer, Louisville Courier Journal

Gov. Andy Beshear has replaced two members of the University of Louisville Board of Trustees, including former Chair Diane Medley.

Sadiqa Reynolds replaces former trustee Raymond Burse and John Hollenbach replaces Medley. Reynolds and Hollenbach were sworn in during a board meeting April 17 and will serve terms ending in April 2031.

Both Burse and Medley served on the board past when their terms expired in January because Kentucky law allows board members to continue serving until they're replaced.

Board Vice Chair Larry Benz will assume the chair's duties until a new one is elected, according to the board's bylaws. It's unclear when a new permanent chair will be elected, UofL spokesperson John Karman said.

Burse and Medley were both involved with the university's sudden change in leadership in late March when the board unanimously approved former President Kim Schatzel's resignation and voted to appoint former Provost Gerry Bradley as the university's 20th president the same day.
