He was a visiting scholar at Harvard University and the Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University. Also, he was awarded honorary degrees from Berea College, Georgetown College, Bellarmine University and Eastern Kentucky University. After graduate school, Sexton served as a history professor and administrator at the University of Kentucky. He became the executive director of the Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence, a non-profit advocacy group for public education in Kentucky, upon its creation in August 1983.

He also served on advisory groups for several national foundations.
