AI Summary
This bill, titled the Restoration of Postsecondary Inclusion and Student Success Programs Act, amends existing Kentucky law to direct the Council on Postsecondary Education (CPE), the state agency responsible for overseeing postsecondary education, to postpone the approval of any new academic programs at state colleges and universities if those institutions have not met their established equal educational opportunity goals, though institutions making substantial progress may receive a temporary waiver. The bill also makes conforming changes to other related statutes and repeals several sections of KRS (Kentucky Revised Statutes) that previously dealt with diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training and related policies in postsecondary education and for licensing authorities.
