Traffic director named
John M. "Mike" Thomas has been appointed director of security at the University of Kansas, R. Keith Lawton, vice chancellor for operations, plant development and coordination, announced today.
Thomas has served in the KU traffic and security department since 1965 and was named acting director in February, a few weeks after the death of E. P. Moomau. Thomas's appointment as security director was recommended by a search committee composed of representatives of faculty, students, administration, local and state law enforcement officers.
Thomas has completed three-fourths of the work toward a B.A. degree in sociology through part-time study while working fulltime in the traffic and security department. He is 26 years old, a native of Stillwater, Okla., and a graduate of Lawrence High School.
His law enforcement training includes a diploma from the Institute of Applied Science in Chicago, a certificate from the Northwestern University Law Enforcement Supervisors Course, and completion of the Kansas Law Enforcement Officers Training School.
"We are extremely pleased to have a director of security who is so well prepared, both by training and experience, for this important position," Vice Chancellor Lawton said. "While serving as
