  • Executive Summary
    SELF-STUDY Submitted to the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools December 2014 Executive Summary KU is an EO/AA institution. Produced by the Office of the Chancellor. Office of the Chancellor Transformation is a word higher education institutions tend to exploit, regardless of the size or scope of change occurring. As you’ll discover in this 2015 Self-Study, at the University of Kansas it is a phrase that, perhaps, comes up short in describing our activity during the past decade. We are in the midst of implementing a trio of initiatives most institutions would consider transformative if accomplished individually: Bold Aspirations, a five-year strategic plan for the Lawrence and Edwards campus, and the corresponding strategic plan at the Medical Center; Changing for Excellence, a comprehensive overhaul of administrative functions; and Far Above, a comprehensive fundraising campaign for the KU Endowment Association, the nation’s oldest public university endowment. The self-study confirms what we have heard from our stakeholders, from our alumni and supporters, and from the Board of Regents. We are on the right track, and are poised for even greater progress. Our accomplishments are the result of the hard work and willingness of our dedicated and talented faculty and staff to drive needed changes, even when some transitions have been rocky at times. Because of their work, we are seeing results in the successes of our students, in communities that are made healthier and more vibrant, and in the discoveries that will change the world. And our study confirms the tasks that still lay ahead.

  • The View from the Stadium: the University of Kansas’ Memorial Stadium and the College Stadium Movement by © 2019 Howard Graham
    The View from the Stadium: The University of Kansas’ Memorial Stadium and the College Stadium Movement By © 2019 Howard Graham M.A., University of Kansas, 2008 B.A., Colgate University, 1999 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Chair: John Rury Suzanne Rice Ebenezer Obadare David Roediger Date Defended: 16 May 2019 ii The dissertation committee for Howard Graham certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: The View from the Stadium: The University of Kansas’ Memorial Stadium Chair: John Rury Date Approved: 26 July 2019 iii Abstract The View from the Stadium: The University of Kansas’ Memorial Stadium, is a meditation over the college football stadium movement of the post-World War I era. The study incorporates higher education history, intellectual and social history of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, African and African American history, Indigenous Nations history, whiteness studies, geography, sports history, and political philosophy. This dissertation seeks to establish the social and political backgrounds that inform the stadium movement of the 1920s. The aim is to understand the factors that influenced how KU’s Memorial Stadium (1921) was conceptualized, completed and subsequently. It is a conceptual intervention focused on stadium space and use, and contributes to the scholarship of higher education and sport. iv Acknowledgements I wish to thank my wife, Amanda, and our children, Russell and Ruby, for their support that made this dissertation possible. If there were a dedication, it would be for Amanda who sacrifices every day for our family and me.

Our accomplishments are the result of the hard work and willingness of our dedicated and talented faculty and staff to drive needed changes, even when some transitions have been rocky at times.

And our study confirms the tasks that still lay ahead.
