University of Kansas is looking to add Competency-Based Education

That is not quite right.

The University of Kansas was founded right after the Civil War. The University of Kentucky was originally known as the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Kentucky until around 1908.

I have relatives from Kentucky but was not well informed about the drama involving it's name.  The Disciples of Christ church founded Bacon College in Georgetown, KY in 1837. It was renamed Kentucky University in 1858. It would have been logical to use KU at this point. In 1861, the school was merged into Transylvania University which was founded in 1780. In 1865 Kentucky University was spun off as an independent university after receiving funding through the Morrill Land-Grant Act. In this process it was renamed the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Kentucky. In 1908 the school's name was changed to the State University, Lexington, Kentucky and then to the University of Kentucky in 1916. Whether you use the 1780 date or 1837, UK preceded KU as an institution but Kansas preserved their name longer.

Does anyone have an update for the CBE program at Kansas?
