Cold Weather Reminder

Here we go again. Cold weather is upon us and temperatures will regularly dip to levels below freezing. With that in mind, it's important to make sure exterior windows and doors are kept closed. Doing so will help conserve energy and prevent interior water pipes from bursting resulting in costly water damage. If you notice open windows or doors in your area, please close them or report the location to the Facilities Work Control Center.  Let's work together to conserve energy and prevent damage to our buildings.

Seeking Feedback on KU's Institutional Priorities

The Middle States Steering Committee seeks feedback from faculty, staff and students on KU’s institutional priorities. The selection of institutional priorities that matter to the institution is key to ensuring that the Middle States Self-Study Report and process are informative, insightful and valuable. Institutional priorities should therefore be forward-looking and related to the university's mission. Four institutional priorities were shared at a recent Town Hall meeting Thursday, Nov. 9. Please follow the link to provide your feedback on our four institutional priorities by Wednesday, Nov. 22.
