The forming of a search committee of students is bringing the University of Kansas closer to hiring a permanent dean of students.
Nick Sterner, student body president and Shawnee senior, is working with Marlesa Roney, vice provost for student success, to create a list of 15 potential students to serve on a search committee. Sterner said he was aiding Roney by giving
his opinion as to who should be chosen.
Frank DeSalvo is the interim dean of students. He replaced Richard Johnson, who was terminated last spring after a formal investigation.
The formation of the search committee was also brought up at the Presidents' Roundtable meeting on Sept. 2. The roundtable is an association of the presidents of the different campus student groups.
The list of students on the search committee will be finalized at the same time as the availability of the
position is announced, Sterner said. At that point, applications can be sent in for the dean of students position.
A date to finalize the search committee has not been set, Sterner said.
"It's important not just for CCO but as a student," Bengtson said.
Anton Bengtson, co-director of the Center for Community Outreach, said he would be willing to serve on the search committee if he were asked.
The CCO worked closely with the dean of students in the past, Bengtson said. Johnson worked with CCO during Homecoming and helped coordinate change collection for the United Way.
"A lot of times we would meet to talk about how we both could help students on campus," Bengtson said.
Sterner said he was using a list from the Student Involvement and Leadership Center to help him decide who to contact for the committee.
"My primary goal is to find a wide range of student opinion and student involvement," he said.
Sterner said he was trying to combine presidents of campus student groups, student senators and other students on campus.
