LAWRENCE — The University of Kansas’ chancellor says hiring a new provost and addressing campus concerns about race are among her top priorities.
The Lawrence Journal-World reports Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little was hired by the university in 2009. She says it is expected to take six to nine months to hire a new provost. A national search will be conducted to find a replacement for Provost Jeff Vitter, who is leaving the school to become chancellor of the University of Mississippi.
