Spencer Art Museum director fired after 16 years of service
University of Kansas administrators fired Spencer Art Museum Director Andrea Norris yesterday after 16 years of service.
Norris left the University Wednesday although she will remain on the University payroll through the current fiscal year, which ends June 30.
Administration officials and the University's public relations personnel wouldn't comment on the firing.
Fred Pawlicki, associate director of the Lied Center, will take over the museum as interim director. The University has no time frame for hiring a permanent director to replace Norris.
During Norris' tenure as director, the museum celebrated its 25th anniversary and received its second accreditation by the American Association of Museums.
