New dean for business school

will take over dean of the School of Business on Aug. 1. The new dean is no stranger to the Lawrence campus because she earned her doctorate

here in 1994. Bendapdi said she had a strong connection with the University, where she and family members have completed a total of seven degrees.
"I remember this campus and this University as being a great place to be a champion," Bendapudi said. "Our core purpose will be to make it a great place to learn."
She said she had already reconnected with several members of the school's faculty and staff and was looking forward to being among them again.
William Fuerst, the current dean, will step down after an 11-year tenure and take up a faculty position in the school.
The new dean was chosen from a pool of 165 candidates by a search committee led by James Guthrie, the William and Judy Docking professor of business, and Mike Michaelis, president and chairman of the board of Emprise Bank.
Guthrie said Bendapudi was a person of high energy with experience in private industry and academics. He said the search committee was looking for someone with the capability to strengthen both the undergraduate and graduate programs of the business school as well as represent the school in partnerships with other institutions.
"Neeli Bendapudi hits on all cylinders," Guthrie said. "She understands the needs of business and how business operates."
At Ohio State's Fisher College of Business, Bendapudi founded and served as the executive director of the Initiative for Managing Services, a center that represents businesses in partnerships with the university.

Bendapudi also worked at Huntington National Bank as a consultant, chief customer officer and executive vice president.

ENVIRONMENT
Supreme Court says EPA should regulate pollution
BY MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
WASHINGTON - In a setback for environmentalists, the Supreme Court justices signaled they will throw out a huge global warming lawsuit brought by California and five other states that seeks limits on carbon pollution from coal-fired power plants in the South and Midwest.
Encouraged by the Obama administration's top courtroom lawyer, the justices said the problem of regulating greenhouses gas should be left to the Environmental Protection Agency. It is too complex and unwieldy to be handled by a single federal judge acting on a "public nuisance" lawsuit, some of them said.
A defeat for the lawsuit would put more pressure on the administration and the EPA to enforce limits on carbon pollution in the face of strong opposition from congressional Republicans, environmental advocates said.
"The stakes will be very high. The question is whether they can deliver," said David Doniger, a
climate change expert for the Natural Resources Defense Council.
The issue debated before the high court Tuesday was not whether greenhouse gases are causing global climate change, but who should regulate these gases. In their comments and questions, it became clear that the justices - liberals and conservatives alike - were also dubious of allowing a single judge to decide on the regulation of greenhouse gases.
This "sounds to me a lot like what the EPA does," Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg told a New York state lawyer who was defending the lawsuit. A judge cannot be "a super EPA" who sets and enforce detailed regulations, she said.
Four years ago, the justices cleared the way for the EPA to regulate greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act. Since then, the government has adopted stricter standards for new motor vehicles, which take effect next year. But regulation of power plants has stalled. The agency says it will propose new rules in July.
