LAWRENCE – Chancellor Douglas A. Girod has approved the promotion and award of tenure, where indicated, for 80 individuals at the University of Kansas Lawrence and Edwards campuses (two faculty from the School of Social Welfare) and 89 individuals at the KU Medical Center campuses.
Girod issued a joint statement on the accomplishment of these faculty members with Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor Barbara Bichelmeyer, who chairs the University Committee on Promotion and Tenure on the Lawrence campus, and Dr. Robert Simari, executive vice chancellor at KU Medical Center.
“KU’s dedicated scholars and educators address the challenges of our changing world and ensure this university moves forward as a major research institution. Our faculty and scholars across all our campuses conduct innovative research, deliver outstanding educational experiences, and participate in professional, clinical and service activities required of their field. Their dedication to excellence embodies our mission of educating leaders, building healthy communities and making discoveries that change the world. The commitment they possess to ensure students succeed is inspiring, especially given the trials and tribulations of the past year.
“Our thanks go to the University Committees on Promotion and Tenure on both campuses who gave their time and effort to evaluating the many eligible candidates. Please join us in recognizing and celebrating these educators who devote their talents and energy to uphold KU’s ideals through research, teaching and service.”
