KEMPER FELLOWSHIPS
Chancellor Robert Hemenway and Provost Richard Lariviere will surprise six professors today by visiting their classrooms to present them with W.T. Kemper Fellowships.
The professors will receive $5,000 checks along with the fellowships, which honor professors chosen by a seven-member committee for outstanding teaching and advising. The fellowship presentations will continue until Aug. 23, and 20 professors will receive fellowships.
EXCHANGES WITH ISRAEL
University of Kansas leaders are speaking out against efforts in Britain to ban academic exchanges with Israel.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway and Provost Richard Lariviere have joined hundreds of other American and Canadian college and university employees to oppose Britain’s University and College Union. The Union wants to ban Israeli and British higher education staff from helping each other with their work.
“Academic freedom among all institutions or higher education must be carefully nurtured, no matter the nation or existing political environment,” Hemenway and Lariviere said in a joint statement.
The Union represents about 120,000 employees in higher education. More than 11,000 academics have signed a petition initiated by the U.S.-based Scholars for Peace in the Middle East, urging the Union to reverse its decision.
