Phelps said that Hinman filed a sex discrimination suit against the University of Kansas and some faculty members in the late 1970s, before Tacha was appointed vice chancellor in 1981. The lawsuit, which is pending in the U.S. District Court in Topeka, criticizes KU employment policies. The suit includes promotion, recruiting and tenure deficiencies for women and other minorities.
Hinman said Tacha wasn't upholding an agreement signed by the University with the U.S. Department of Labor in 1982 that emphasized equal employment opportunities at KU.
Phelps said Tacha hires few minorities and underpays the ones who already work at the university.

KU still has Brown, fans
By Chris Lazzarino Kansan Magazine writer
It was one year ago, almost to the day. College basketball was just around the corner, and anticipation of the unknown was made Kansas basketball fans reach a level of excitement that hadn't been seen in Lawrence for years.
Lawrence for year.
Larry Brown was in his second season at the University of Kansas; Damien Manning was in his first. Two the most-talked-about names in college basketball were both in Lawrence, perched on the edge of what was hoped would be a new era for Jayhawk basketball.
The names of Naismith, Allen Chamberlain, Robisch, Lovellette, White and Valentine were banded about with renewed familiarity. After all, when a new age of greatness is near, old ages of greatness are suddenly transformed into family heritage. The new age would be the direct descendant of the greats.
Kansas basketball was back
Kansas basketball was blemished. The preseason excitement reached its peak when the Nov. 12, 1984, issue
appointed rounds throughout Lawrence came true, although a bit earlier than expected. Brown, then coach of the New Jersey Nets, had resigned from that team, even before the playoffs. He was now head coach at KU. His departure from New Jersey was none too pretty, and Brown received a particularly ferocious send-off from the East Coast media.
"I have left places, that's public space," Brown said. "Now, I am hopeful that I can stay at Kansas for a long time, and maybe one day they will write a story without my jobs being the major topic."
ing the major topic.
well, "Where You Gonna Be Next Year, Larry?" has been answered.
Next year is this year, Larry Brown is the head basketball coach at the University of Kansas and Carol Lee doughnut bags can still be seen in the basketball office.
"I love this school," Brown said. "I really like the people, and I feel comfortable here. The people have really been great."
Yet the future — secretly feared and publicly lauded — is here. Kansas basketball has traveled the journey of another year and is return-
'I am thrilled that Allen Field House is sold out. When it's packed,it's a special special place. But I'm disappointed that a lot of kids may not have the opportunity to see the games. A lot of kids have written and called me,but I just can't sneak that many in.'

There was the beloved coach — the teacher of the Crimson and blue — at the Carol Lee doughnut shop, dressed as any KU student headed for class. It was right Lawrence, pure KU. Right there on page 49, was Lawrence's Leary, laffers, no socks in thought at a doughnut shop. "Hey, I've been there I know that place! And it's in Sports Illustrated!"

But perched above the Kansas coiness is the biting title of the article — "Where You Gonna Be Next Year, Larry?" — implying that there might be an uncertain future for the marriage of Larry Brown and the University of Kansas.
"I'll flatter that they would take the time to write a piece on me in a magazine but is so well respected," Brown did recently. "But it's tough when your life's right there for you to see. But that's part of being a college coach. You are visible. When you make a decision, everybody sees it. Things are always public knowledge."
Brown's employment history, including leaving coaching jobs with the Denver Nuggets and UCLA Bruins, was certainly part of that public knowledge, a result of life in the limelight.

"I have mixed emotions about that," Brown said. "I am thrilled that Allen Field House is sold out. When it's packed, it's a special, special place. But I'm disappointed that a lot of kids may not have the opportunity to see the games. A lot of kids have written and called me, but I just can't sneak that man-in-"
The appreciation Brown has for student support of the basketball team couldn't have been more graphically demonstrated late-night before a morning that officially brought the new season to Allen Field House.
six thousand college students forsook "Late Night with David Letterman" for "Late Night with Larry Brown." It was energy, excitement and anticipation, all for the students.
"I am just appreciative of the involvement of the students," Brown
The students not only showed their care, they showed their total dedication. Allen Field House, in the midst of long-overdue renovations, rocked and rolled as if it were a regular season game. It was filled with enthusiastic students cheering on their team while the band cheerened on the students.

It really gets the adrenaline flowing and really gets you pumped up. It's hard to lose in that kind of atmosphere.

"I think we all feel a little bit more responsibility. We don't really talk about it, but you can't help it when the place is sold out and we haven't even played a game yet."
