"Now she's going to be on a federal bench to defend the civil rights that she has made a lifetime of defeating."
Tacha was out of Lawrence and unavailable for comment yesterday Carol Prentice, academic affairs administrator, assistant, said the office.com computer.
KU Executive Secretary Richard von Ende said Himan's letter was not representative of Tacha's performance at the University.
"It is ridiculous to levy these accusations against Deanell Tacha," von Ende said. "She has led by example as a role model and by occupying leadership positions at the University.
"To say she is thwarting women and minorities is the most blatantly ridiculous thing I've heard in a long time."
Robbi Ferron, director of affirmative action, agreed.
"I can assure you that Dr. Tacha's record with our office in supporting women and minorities has been exemplary." Ferron said.
Hinman said, "I wrote the letter to point out the lack of experience she has as a judge. She's been out of the business of law for five years, and you get behind if you're out of the field."
Hinman said she was exercising her right as a citizen to voice her opinions.
"I want the 10th circuit to be the best," Hinman said. "I'm just expressing my rights."
Position could be hard to fill
By Gary Duda Of the Kansan staff
It may take as long as a year to fill the position of vice chancellor for academic affairs if Deanell Tacha is confirmed as a U.S. 10th Court Circuit of Appeals judge, a former executive vice chancellor for the University said yesterday.
Del Shankel, former executive vice chancellor and now a professor of microbiology and biochemistry, said replacing Tacha could take a while.
"The process can take anywhere from a couple of months up to a year or so," he said.
Shankel, who was executive vice chancellor when Tacha was chosen in 1981, said the speed of replacing Tacha depended on whether a replacement came from within the University.
Of the five vice chancellors that have served the University's office of academic affairs, four have come from within the University.
But Shankel said Tacha's replacement would not necessarily be a University employee.
The only vice chancellor for academic affairs to come from outside of the University was Ambrose Saricks. Before his appointment as vice chancellor for academic affairs, he was dean of the graduate school and assistant dean of faculties at Wichita State University.
Saricks, however, had been with the University for 16 years before moving to Wichita.
The vice chancellor for academic affairs is one of the three vice chancellors who report to Robert Cobb, executive vice chancellor of the Lawrence campus.

Shankel said Tacha's replacement — provided the Senate confirmed her nomination — would have to meet several qualifications set forth by a search committee.
"I think they are looking for a person who has demonstrated academic leadership skill," he said.
The replacement, Shankel said, would also have to show a commitment to teaching and research. He said being able to deal with people was also an essential qualification.
John Brushwood, member of the 1981 search committee, and Roy A. Roberts, distinguished professor of Spanish and Portuguese, said the committee to replace Tacha would probably work in much the same way as he did in 1981 to replace Tacha's predecessor, Ralph Christofferson.
Brushwood said the 12-member committee he served on asked for applications from both inside and outside the University.
The process of reviewing applicants involved reading information about each person, Brushwood said. He said that many of those who would apply for the position would not be qualified, but that the review process would thin out the unqualified.
Brushwood said because Tacha would probably be leaving at the middle of this academic year, it would be quite likely that an interim vice chancellor would be needed.
Christofferson, who now works for the UpJohn Co., Kalamazoo, Mich. said the job was not one that would be undered to be a lifetime position.
Because of the high visibility of the job and the long hours it demands, Christofferson said, it is very easy to get worn out in a few years.
because of the need for a more efficient system of dividing the responsibilities of running the University
Raymond Nichols, chancellor emeritus and member of the committee, said that after World War II, the University had an enrollment of 5,000-6,000. He said with the increase of growth to about 20,000 in 1960, the University needed to create more administrative positions.

Saricks, who now is a KU professor emeritus of history, said he didn't receive any offers to become president or chancellor of any universities. He said he had enough of the duties of vice chancellor.
"It itg to be too much paperwork and government red tape," he said, "I wanted to get back to teaching."
Heller said other colleges and universities looked at the position of vice chancellor for academic affairs as a good place to find leaders for their schools. He said that when he served as vice chancellor, he received many offers from universities to become president.

This, Heller said, is also true of anyone who performed well in the position.
"I think it's probably fair to say if you're an effective chief academic officer in a major institution, your name is going to show up on presidential search committee lists," he said.
Calgaard, currently president of Trinity University, San Antonio, Texas, said that when he served as vice chancellor, he also received offers to become president at other universities.

After the StudEx meeting, Easley said possible intimidation was not a legal reason for closing a public meeting.
Arnold said one of the reasons for using the official figures was to avoid the appearance of inconsistency in case the 1985 election was questioned.

Lawhorn, holdover senator, had first questioned the validity of the updated figures in a letter to Easley, student body president, on Oct. 25.
"It's not in the best interest of Senate to conduct ourselves in the manner in which the Elections Committee did," he said.
The four officials were Arnold, Polack, Charles Lawhorn and William Easley.

David Ambler, vice cancellor for student affairs, said Tuesday that the Senate rules should be amended to require that 20th-day enrollment figures be used for seat apportionment.
"It's that kind of sloppy, petty thing that hurts the reputation of the Senate," Ambler said.

International Year of the Youth Apostolic Letter of Pope John Paul II To the Youth Of the World
In the Gospel (Mark 10: 17-19) Christ says, "No one is good but God alone." Only God is good means this: In him and him alone all values have their first source and final completion; he is "the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end." Only in him can we confirm our values as authentic. Without the reference to God, the whole world of created values remains as it were suspended in an absolute vacuum. It also loses its transparency, its expressiveness. Evil is put forward as a good and good itself is rejected. Why is God alone good? Because he is love. Christ gives this answer in the words of the Gospel and above all by the witness of his own life and death: "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son." God is good precisely because he "is love."
As we have said, the question about the meaning of life forms part of the singular treasure of youth. When youth is tested by personal suffering or is profoundly aware of the suffering of others, when it experiences a powerful shock at the sight of many kinds of eivl that exist in the world, and finally, when it comes face to face with the mystery of sin, Christ reminds us, "Only God is good"; only God is love. This reply may seem difficult, but at the same time it is firm and it is true; it bears within itself the definitive solution. How I pray that you, my young friends, will hear Christ's reply in the most personal way possible; that you will find the interior path which enables you to grasp it, accept it and undertake its accomplishment!
As Christ speaks to the young man in this particular Gospel, so he speaks to each one of you. When you say, "Good Teacher," he asks, "Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone." And therefore the fact that you are good bears witness to God. "He who has seen me has seen the Father." Thus speaks Christ, the teacher and friend, Christ crucified and risen; always the same yesterday and today and forever.
This the kernel, the essential point of the reply to these questions which you young people put to him through the treasure which is within you, which is rooted in your youth. Your youth opens different prospects before you; it offers you as a task the plan for the whole of your lives. Hence the question about values; hence the question about the meaning of life, about truth, about good and evil. When Christ in his reply to you tells you to refer all this to God, at the same time he shows you what the source and foundation of this is in yourselves. For each one of you is the image and likeness of God through the very act of creation. Precisely this image and likeness make you put the questions that you must ask yourselves. These questions show how man without God cannot understand himself and cannot even fulfill himself without God. Jesus Christ came into the world first of all in order to make each one of us aware of this. Without him this fundamental dimension of the truth about man would easily sink into obscurity. However, "the light has come into the world." "and the darkness has not overcome it."
