Burns named as provost candidate
Jack Burns was announced as the second of five candidates for the provost position Monday.
Burns, 53, currently serves as the vice president for academic affairs and research for the three University of Colorado campuses.
Burns will be visiting campus for three days and give a public presentation entitled "What is KU's role in a flat world?" 4 p.m. Thursday at the Dole Institute of Politics.
He said although he did not have a preconceived agenda for his visit, he was already aware of issues with faculty salaries, classroom buildings and deferred maintenance projects.
The goal of his visit is to listen to what students, faculty and staff think the University needs. Burns said.
The second candidate for dean of the School of Social Welfare, Kimberly J. Strom-Gottfried, met with faculty and staff Monday afternoon.
Ann Weick, the current dean of Social Welfare, will retire at the end of spring semester.
Another issue Burns said he was a "big believer" in was learning communities, where students with similar academic interests live together. Burns said that his son was a member of one during his freshman year and that studies have shown the communities yield better grades and higher retention rates for freshmen.

A judge has ordered PepsiCo Inc. and its advertising company to pay $250,000 to the 1950s doo-wop band The Flamingos. Pepsi used their recording, "I Only Have Eyes For You," in a commercial without permission.
A spokesman for Pepsi said the failure to pay The Flamingos directly was an oversight.
"We have a long history and strong track record of supporting diversity in our advertising," said Dave DeCecco of Purchase, N.Y.-based Pepsi.
