EDUCATION
Law school program aims to prepare future students
High school students from across Kansas found out what it's like to be in law school and what it takes to have a career in the legal profession. Last week during the third annual "Journey to J.D" camp, School of Law faculty and current students worked to encourage diverse students to attend college, law school and work in the legal field.
The camp was created by the School of Law's alumni Diversity Council to diversify legal education and the workforce, and it was funded through donations by alumni and corporate sponsors. Programs like "Journey to J.D." are known as "pipeline" programs and are used by numerous law schools and firms to address the lack of diversity in the legal field.
"Studies show that a fewer black collection of students graduate from
high school and college, and they're definitely underrepresented in the legal profession,'said Karen Hester, Director of Student Affairs and Diversity at the School of Law."Our thought is that if we can reach them now we can show them what steps they need to take, and we can hopefully make a long term impact on the legal profession and the diversity within."

RETIREMENT
—Jessica Tierney
University offers buyout incentive to employees
The University accepted early retirement applications from 106 employees seeking buyouts, and rejected 43 applications, according to The Associated Press.
In April, the University offered an early retirement incentive to roughly 655 employees at the Lawrence and Edwards campuses.
Employees approved for the program receive a one-time payment for a year's worth of salary. The maximum payment is $100,000.
Gavin Young, provost communications coordinator and spokesman, said the program is for employees who plan to retire by the end of the year. At the earliest, employees can retire July 24, and at the latest, December 31.
Employees have until July 15 to accept their offer and sign the agreement.
Young said the determining factor in which applications are accepted or rejected is based on the long-term best interests of the University.
