KU losing director of student housing

Kansas University will have to look for a new director for the Department of Student Housing.

Ken Stoner, who has been at KU for more than 20 years, will leave in early March to take the position of assistant vice chancellor of student affairs at the University of Tennessee.

Stoner has earned numerous awards since he has been at KU. He also has been recognized as one of only two individuals in the country who is expert in all four domains of housing administration. They are residence education, business and fiscal management, physical plant and maintenance and dining services.

An interim director of housing had not been named Monday.
