KU looks for replacements for administrative positions
By PATRICIA SKALLA Staff Reporter
The University of Kansas will search this semester for a new director of admissions, housing director and ombudsman.
KU lost Linda Thompson, director of admissions, in November when she resigned to get married and move to California. This summer, the University will lose J.J. Wilson, director of housing, and William Balfour, University ambudsman, to retirement.
Balfour, also a professor of cell biology and physiology, will retire in May after working at KU for 28 years. He turned 70 in November and must retire according to University regulations.
"THE ENTIRE SENEX COMMITTEE will act as a search committee for Balfour's replacement," Arno Knapper, University Senate Executive Committee chairman, said Monday.
SenEx is the executive committee of the University Council, which is the executive committee of the University Senate.
Although the subject of Balfour's replacement will not come before
SenEx until tomorrow's Senate meeting, Knapper said the University Council had already been informed of the opening so faculty members interested in the job could apply.
The qualified applicants, according to the University code, "shall possess a comprehensive knowledge of the University's organizations and procedures. He or she shall, at the time of initial appointment, have completed at least six years of service on the University faculty."
KNAPPER SAID THAT NO closing date for applications had been set, but that Balfour's replacement chosen sometime this semester.
After the closing date, Knapper said, applicants will be screened by the SenEx committee, which will then narrow the candidate list to three. Chancellor Gene A. Budig will make the final selection.
A transition period will also be allowed for Wilson's replacement, according to David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs.
The new director, whose title will be the director of student housing, is seeking a position for a month with Wilson to become acquainted with the department.
Wilson will retire in June after working at KU since 1949. He has been housing director since 1954. Wilson turned 70 in July.
THE SEARCH COMMITTEE for Wilson's replacement is chaired by Ambler and has 14 members.
"It is a large committee because it's an important position," he said.
The committee advertised the position in national higher education and housing publications and sent letters to selected schools of comparable size, Ambler said. The closing date for applications was Dec. 14.
The minimum qualifications that applicants were required to have included a master's degree in a related area, such as educational administration, and five years of administrative experience, Amber said. Commitment to higher education and experience in a housing system with a large staff and budget also are preferred qualifications.
AFTER THE CLOSING DATE, all applicants were screened to insure that they had the minimum qualifications, Ambler said. Out of 90 applicants, between 60 and 70 met the minimum requirements.
He said the committee would meet a week to reduce the number to about 10.
