Vice chancellor candidates begin interviews in earnest
Boosting research will be primary duty
By Stephanie McDuff
Kansan staff writer
The first of five candidates for a new vice chancellor for research and public service will be interviewed throughout the next two days by University personnel.
Robert V. Smith, a vice provost at Washington State University, will meet with graduate student representatives at 4:30 p.m. today in the Regents Room in Strong Hall. Representatives of KU faculty will meet with Smith tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 p.m. in the Kansas Union's Pine Room.
Smith, WSU vice provost for research and dean of the graduate school, holds a doctoral degree in pharmaceutical chemistry from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
The current interim vice chancellor, Howard Mossberg, will retire in September.
The candidate selected to replace Mossberg will be expected to coordinate research activities in the academic sector with academic deans. The candidate also will work with KU
researchers to help them locate funding for new research projects.
The new vice chancellor will be the chief operating officer of the Center for Research Inc. as well.
Richard Givens, assistant provost and professor of chemistry, said that CRINC, a KU research foundation, now oversees 25 percent of the research done at the University. He said that in the past, most research programs assisted by CRINC had been for engineering and scientific pursuits.
The University decided in December to make CRINC a University-wide foundation for research. The expansion of the program will go into effect July 1.
Givens said that, because the University was considered both an academic and research institution, the new vice chancellor's position would be important in coordinating the research side.
"The stronger an institution is on its research side, the stronger the overall comprehensive institution," Givens said.
Howard Mossberg has served as the interim vice chancellor for the past year so that the University could complete the search for someone to fill the head research position.
Mossberg said that during his 31 years at the University he had been the dean of pharmacy for 25 years and had
occupied the vice chancellor for research position between 1991 and 1994.
To assist in the transition, Mossberg said he would take a phased retirement and stay at the University for a short time to help the new vice chancellor get accustomed to the demands of the position.
After familiarizing himself with the applications of the five people selected for an on-site interview, Mossberg said that he was pleased with the prospective candidates, because they had had the experience needed for the job.
The four other candidates will be visiting the University throughout the month of April.
Kathryn Clark, news coordinator for University Relations, said that KU administrators would not release the names of the other four candidates until the day before each were expected to interview on campus.
The selection committee consists of 15 members from a cross section of graduate students, academic deans, and faculty members.
Givens said that after evaluating the five candidates they would make recommendations to Chancellor Robert Hemenway and Provost David Shulenburger, who would make the final decision.
