Robert Hemenway would lead KU into the 21st century. THE NEWEST IAYHAWK I'll be very honest with you, Hemenway said at the inaugural news conference. I consider this the best job in the country. KU is a magnificent university with a strong faculty, hard-working staff and a student body whose excellence is widely acknowl- edged. The 53-year-old Hemenway had great expectations to meet, but he was no stranger to college life or the Midwest. Hemenway served the past six years as chancellor at the Uni- versity of Kentucky. Colleagues there have described him as a dy- namo committed to education, the advancement of minorities and openness with students. Hemenway has been credited with Kentucky's Merit Scholars' BY DEEDRA Artisan - WHAT I SEE IIAPPENING IN 'l'IIE UNIVEIKSITY IS A CUMING 'l'0GE'l'IIEIl 0F CULLEC- 'l'IVE ENERGY, IN'l'ELLI- GENCE AND ENTIIUSIASM 'I'0 MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN SOCIE'l'Y. - Il0BEIl'l' IIEMENWAY, NEWLY SEI.EC'I'ElD CIIANCELLUII I I l l l nway earned a Bachelor's degree from the University of Nebraska at Omaha in 1963 and went on to earn a doctorate in English from Kent State three years later, at the age of 24. Hemenway, the author, also is well-respected. His biography of Zora Neale Hurston, a Black author, folklorist and anthro- pologist, was listed among the Best Books of 1978 by The New York Times. The research for that book, Hemenway has said, led to his increased sensitivity to minorities and multiculturalism. At Kentucky, he was instrumen- tal in hiring 48 tenure-track Black faculty and 101 women faculty. Hemenway began his career in education as an assis- tant professor of English at Kentucky from 1966 to 1968. He left to be an assistant and associate professor of American Studies at the University of Wyoming, where he stayed until 1973. Hemenway returned to Kentucky and taught until 1981 as an associate professor and professor of English. He then moved to an administra- tive role and chaired the depart- ment of English at Kentucky for the next five years. Before the chancellorship at Kentucky, Hemenway was the Dean of K Q Tw L. l a d
