Absent leaders

Key Kansas University leaders were noticeably absent from last week’s Big 12 spring meetings in Kansas City.

It’s unfortunate that Kansas University was without its top guns in the Big 12’s spring meetings in Kansas City.

Let’s hope that Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little made really important contacts with alumni in London. (Who’s minding the campus, anyway, with no chancellor and no provost in Lawrence?)

And let’s hope Athletics Director Lew “previous commitment” Perkins had a really understandable reason for basically deserting his post as the future of the athletics conference was argued.
