Karen Gould, a Provost candidate listens to a question from William Scott, professor of english at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics on Thursday evening. Gould is currently the Dean of the McMicken College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Cincinnati.
The final provost candidate has spoken. Karen Gould focused on global engagement and univeristy-wide collaboration during a public address Thursday at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics.
Gould is currently the dean of the McMicken College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Cincinnati.
She said that although the University of Kansas has strong international programs, they could be further promoted. She said she’d like to increase the number of students with international internships and the number of minority students who study abroad. According to a survey by the American Association of Universities, only 1 percent of minority students nationwide study abroad.
Discussing what she termed an “innovation of impact,” Gould said the University needed to plan more strategically to get more out of a limited budget.
Gould said that opportunities for student leadership at the University could be expanded and that she valued student input.
“I think that it’s important because it helps develop trust from the students’ point of view that the provost is listening and learning as they lead,” she said.
Gould, Virginia Sapiro, Jack Burns and Richard Lariviere are the four candidates to replace Provost David Shulenburger when he retires this summer and assumes a leadership position with the National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges.
Jeff Aube, chairman of the provost search committee, said the committee had received a lot of feedback about the candidates and would be collecting feedback through today.
The 18-member committee will then meet, determine which of the candidates are acceptable and provide the feedback collected from the presentations to Chancellor Robert Hemenway, who will make the final decision.
“We’re going to meet as a search committee as quickly as we can,” Aube said, though he didn’t provide a specific time frame.
William Scott, professor of English, has attended either the public presentation or question and answer session of each candidate.
“You notice some similarities,” Scott said. “They know what to say. It’s very much like Supreme Court confirmation, although nobody broke into tears as far as I know.”
