Budig recruited official for Med Center New vice chancellor to take over Sept. 1
By KRISTA GREEN Staff Reporter
Four months ago, D. Kay Clawson,
newly appointed executive vice chancellor for the University of Kansas
were not expected to be moving to Kansas.
In fact, Clawson said yesterday that he did not even apply for the KU position until Chancellor Gene A. Budg phoned and convinced him that he was the man who could fill the school's needs.
Clawson is now in his last week as vice censoriel for Clinical Professional Services and dean of the College of Medicine, University of Kentucky in Lexington.
Although Clawson had twice turned down requests from the Med Center's application committee to apply, on
Monday he and his wife, Janet, will be moving to Kansas City.
"I had no interest in leaving Kentucky," Clawson said. "But one day Chancellor Budig called me, and he sold me on the school. He showed me what a tremendous opportunity this was."
CLAWSON REPLACES David Waxman, who stepped down after being executive vice chancellor from 1977 to 1983. Clawson begins his new position Sept. 1.
He taught at the University of California at Los Angeles School of Medicine before he became head of orthopedic surgery at the University of Washington in Seattle in 1983. Clawson graduated of that department from 1965 to 1975.
Since 1975, Clawson has been dean of Kentucky's College of Medicine, and
this year he took on the additional duties of vice chancellor.
Clawson already has some goals in mind for the Med Center after he takes over.
"I'm going to try to get programs which are needed and affordable," he said, "I have ideas about what they will be, but I need to talk to a lot more people before I can put them into operation."
HE SAID THE KU Medical Center was excellent, with a long and great tradition, but that some new programs could provide wider exposure for the school.
"It is a state school so it is intended to be more regional, but we'll work for more national recognition," Clawson said.
Clawson also said medical research needed to be expanded.
"It does not have as strong a research capacity as Kansas deserves"
Soon Clawson will take on one more position. The 1982 graduate of Harvard Medical School was recently elected president of the Harvard Medical Alumni Association and will take over those responsibilities next June.
"I was rather surprised that they would elect someone from a rural area, but I'm glad that they did." Clawson said.
The alumni position will last three years and will involve working on new fund-raising projects for the Harvard Medical School. he said.
Working for the Harvard Alumni Association will give Clawson a chance to travel around the country. He said he planned to meet with Med Center alumni as well as with the Harvard alumni.
