Search committee for dean announced

Provost Jeff Vitter announced
a 15-member search committee Monday to find a new dean for the School of Business.

Michaelis, president and chairman of the board of Emprise Bank, will be committee co-chairs.
week and applications for other positions will open on the jobs website system once the editor-in-chief is named. Previous experience with The Kansan is recommended but not required.
Vitter asked Fuerst to assist in a new venture related to corporate relations. A spokesperson for the School of Business said in a Sept. 22 Kansan article that Fuerst's resignation was not related to demands over the summer that Fuerst be fired.
Faculty, students and business professionals outside the University are represented on the committee. The search is in response to William Fuerst's Sept. 22 announcement that he will step down in June after 11 years as business dean, the second-longest tenure of any KU business dean.
Four MBA students — Andrew Carlson, David Cantrell, Boone Bradley and Tim Metz — called for Fuerst to be removed over
concerns about the school's finances. The students wrote to the Kansas Board of Regents in July alleging that scholarships were undertfunded and that the school did not follow its guidelines on using course fees to hire faculty and staff.

Appeals court extends 'don't ask, don't tell'
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — A federal appeals court on Monday indefinitely extended its freeze on a judge's order halting enforcement of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy.
The same panel, composed of two judges appointed by President Ronald Reagan and one appointed by President Bill Clinton, on Oct. 20 imposed a temporary hold keeping "don't ask, don't tell" in place.
A divided three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals granted the U.S. government's request for a stay while it challenges the trial court's ruling that the ban on openly gay service members is unconstitutional.
Monday's decision means gay Americans who disclose their sexual orientations still can't enlist in the armed forces and can be investigated and ultimately discharged.
In an eight-page order, two judges said they were persuaded by the Department of Justice's
argument that U.S. District Court Judge Virginia Phillips' worldwide injunction against the policy "will seriously disrupt ongoing and determined efforts by the administration to devise an orderly change."
"The public interest in enduring orderlychange of this magnitude in the military — if that is what is to happen strongly militates in favor of a stay," Judge Diarmuid F.

Judge William Fletcher entered a partial dissent, saying he would

have preferred the panel had heard oral arguments before granting the stay. Fletcher said he would have prevented "don't ask, don't tell"
from being applied to discharge any existing service members while the case was on appeal.
Another reason they gave for imposing the freeze was decisions by four other federal appeals courts that cast doubt on whether Phillips exceeded her author-

Senate to repeal the law before a new Congress is sworn in. President Barack Obama repeatedly has said he opposes "don't ask, don't tell" but favors ending it legislatively instead of through the courts.
Monday's ruling heightens pressure on the Obama administration to persuade the U.S.
"Today's decision is a major disappointment, and it underscores the urgent need for the Senate to act this month in the lame duck session to end this confusion and cause the finality that is needed," said Aubrey Sarvis, executive director of the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network. "We continue to warn service members that it is unsafe to come out as long as this law remains on the books."
The court ordered the government to submit brief in its broader appeal by Jan. 24 and gave Log Cabin Republicans, a gay rights group that sued to overturn "don't ask, don't tell" in Phillips's court, until Feb. 22 to reply. It did not schedule oral arguments in the case.
