New VP revises view on top 20 (Kentucky Kernel, University of Kentucky)

UK’s new vice president for research has changed his opinion of the top-20 goal, saying now it is attainable by its 2020 deadline.

“Absolutely, it’s achievable,” James Tracy said in a Friday interview. “If I didn’t think it was an achievable goal, I wouldn’t be there.”

In an interview with the Kernel in April, Tracy said although the Top 20 Business Plan’s goals aren’t out of reach, getting there by 2020 might be “a steep climb.”
