Members of the Kansas Board of Regents met Thursday and planned to meet again today to discuss the Kansas University chancellor search.

After Thursday’s three-hour meeting — in closed session — Regents and Regents staffers declined to comment. The board will meet again at 8 a.m. today in Topeka, also in closed session.

A search committee has been tasked with delivering the names of three to five finalists for the job to the regents, who ultimately are responsible for choosing a new chancellor from among those candidates.

Chancellor Robert Hemenway has announced his intention to step down from his post at the end of June to return to teaching and writing.
