Committee considers dean finalists

BY TAYLOR WILLIAMSON twilliamson@kansan.com
The University of Kansas School of Law remains without a dean, but the search may be coming to an end.
As the second of three finalists for the position visited the University yesterday, interested parties were provided with another potential possibility of who would be taking over the vacant position of law dean, a post that has been vacant since early last year.
One reason that the process has lasted so long is because of a
failure for the search committee and the provost to see eye to eye on the ideal candidate. The search committee sent a candidate to the provost for approval last winter, and was not approved.
"It just didn't work. There were various candidates who came to campus, the committee made its recommendations, and ultimately no dean was hired," said Chris Drahozaal, law professor and chair of the search committee.
Despite the setback, the committee is still hard at work searching for a new dean. So far, two out of the three candidates have
been announced. The first is Jeffery Lipshaw, professor of law at Suffolk University, who visited the University last week. The second, Beverly Moran, a professor of law and sociology at Vanderbilt University, visited yesterday.
"We had one candidate in last week, one in this week and one in next week," said Drahozal. "And then the committees going to meet and hopefully get its recommendation to the provost before spring break."
Moran touched on a variety of things in her 45-minute session, including how to raise the
University's international profile and how she would define her management style.
Drahozal also talked about how important it was for the School of Law to have a dean in place.
"The main thing that it is that without a dean a lot of things are put on hold and things really slow down" said Drahozal. "The dean just really provides that leadership"
The name of next candidate will be announced approximately 48 hours before arrival.
