Wethington Retirement Expected

Doctor Charles Wethington has been a fundraiser and associate tenured professor, since he retired as UK’s professor in 2001. But that’s expected to change this week.

It’s expected that the UK Board of Trustees will approve Wethington’s retirement from those jobs, when it meets Tuesday. Wethington has been associated with the University of Kentucky for 47 years.

A UK spokesman says Wethington’s retirement has no connection to the recent announcement of layoffs at UK.
