EKU Students Question University Spending on New Logo and Canceled Concert

Students have expressed concerns over a university’s financial decisions, specifically questioning a multi-thousand-dollar contract with an out-of-state design firm to create a new logo rather than utilizing local talent or prioritizing other campus needs. This debate follows previous student frustrations regarding large financial payouts made for a canceled artist performance earlier in the year. University representatives defended the branding choice, stating the new design honors the school’s history and has received positive feedback from the broader campus community.
