Kansas University has announced the first of three finalists for its provost position.

Philip J. McConnaughay is the Donald J. Farage Professor of Law and dean of the Dickinson School of Law at Pennsylvania State University.

He will make a short presentation to students, faculty, staff and the public at 4 p.m. Monday at the Bruckmiller and McGee rooms in the Adams Alumni Center. A question-and-answer session will follow.

The program will be available via a live Web stream on the provost’s Web site. The site also has additional information about McConnaughay and an evaluation form.

The names of the other two finalists will be released two working days before their arrivals on campus.
