UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Philanthropy to reward standout KU teachers
By Phillip Brownlee Kansas staff writer
The William T. Kemper Foundation of Kansas City, Mo., announced last night the establishment of a $500,000 fund to reward excellence in teaching at the University of Kansas and its campuses.
The Kemper Fellows for Excellence in Teaching will finance $5,000 awards annually for up to 20 faculty members at the University of Kansas, the Regents Center, the University of Kansas Medical Center and the University of Kansas School of Medicine-Wichita.
"The award is based on the concept that the most important asset of a university is the teaching faculty and the inspiration they can give to the students in their classroom," said James M. Kemper, chairman of the Foundation Contribution Committee.
Although the University has 150 endowed professorships and several endowed teaching awards, this program is different in that recipients are not restricted to a particular school or campus, said John
Scarfie, director of the Kansas University Endowment Association.
Award winners will be chosen by a committee of faculty peers, students and alumni representing all KU campuses. The committee will conduct a review of nominations based on submitted vitae and letters.
The $160 million Kemper Foundation was established in 1989 and named in memory of William T. Kemper, a Kansas City banker and philanthropist whose main interests were education, public health and fine arts. In the past five years, the foundation has supported several programs at the University and the Med Center.
Chancellor Robert Memenway said the University was grateful for the foundation's generosity and support in rewarding outstanding teachers and advisers.
"This gift will significantly enhance our efforts to focus energies at KU on teaching," he said. "It will make a significant difference for KU students, who will ultimately be the beneficiaries of this generous act."
