A few CU students staying on campus during pandemic By Scarlett Birge Campbellsville, KY - "I don't have the resources at home to finish my semester," freshman Fabiola Gonzalez Luna, of Glasgow, KY, said. Gonzalez Luna is among the 21 female students, 14 male students and 5 students in overflow housing left on Campbellsville University's main campus, and she is staying to ensure her course work is accomplished. In light of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, many universities have completely shut down their residential halls and sent home the students who were living on campus. However, this may not be a viable option for all. For many reasons, some students have been forced to stay on campus because there are no other choices.

KSP recognizes Crime Victims Rights Week By Sergeant Josh Lawson Frankfort, KY - April 19-25 is National Crime Victims' Rights Week, a time set aside to raise awareness for victims' rights and services, and celebrate the progress victim advocates are making. This year's theme is "Seek Justice, Ensure Victims' Rights, Inspire Hope". In the fall, Kentucky State Police employed sixteen victim advocates to provide support services and resources to crime victims across the Commonwealth. KSP is among the first state police agencies to implement this program on a statewide basis. The program, called Victim Advocate Support Services (VASS), launched in the fall of 2019 with a dual purpose. Advocates administer care to crime victims - or those involved in traumatic events - connecting them with immediate resources, such as mental health services, crisis intervention or legal support. These skilled professionals also serve as liaisons between law enforcement and the victim, simultaneously helping victims navigate the system while allowing detectives to focus more on the details of the case.

Governor announces Healthy at Work initiative Phased approach to reopening aims to give workers and employers tools to restart business safely when time is right. By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - - Gov. Andy Beshear on Tuesday announced the launch of "Healthy at Work," a new initiative to help Kentucky businesses reopen safely as we fight the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). The Governor has urged all Kentuckians to remain Healthy at Home, following federal and state guidelines on social distancing and limiting contacts. However, Kentucky families and businesses also must prepare for the day when we begin to reopen our economy. "We want to make sure that when we hit that mark, knowing that we may only know five days in, that we're ready and that when it is safe to do something, we can immediately start doing it," the Governor said. But he warned against opening up too soon. "When we look at the long-term reopening of the economy, we do it by not being foolish or making risky decisions," Gov. Beshear said. "It's how we come out of this strong." Healthy at Work offers a phased approach to reopening Kentucky's economy.
