UMO's Kennedy wooed by Kansas
Robert Kennedy, the president of the University of Maine at Orono, is in Kansas today being vetted as a finalist for the president's job at Kansas State University.
Kennedy is one of three finalists for the president post at KSU, according to a press release from the Kansas Board of Regents. He and his wife, Mary, will meet with campus and community groups today and tomorrow. Kennedy has been president of UMO since 2005, and before that was interim president, executive vice president and provost at UMO.
Kennedy said he was not actively searching for a new job, but was approached several weeks ago by the firm managing the KSU president search. "I am not looking for an opportunity to leave UMaine," Kennedy said in a statement released Friday morning. "But Kansas State, as one of the nation's leading land-grant universities, is one of the few institutions that I would consider."
