Director of the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics Position
Overview The University of Kansas invites nominations and
applications for the position of Director of the Robert J. Dole
Institute of Politics.
The University
The University of Kansas is a major public research and teaching
institution of nearly 28,000 students, 2,600 faculty and 3,400
staff across five campuses, including the KU Medical Center. KU
comprises 13 schools, including the state's only schools of
pharmacy and medicine, and offers more than 370 degree programs.
The university's diverse community of students and faculty are
united by KU's mission to educate leaders, build healthy
communities, and make discoveries that change the world.
KU is a longstanding member of the Association of American
Universities. Both the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the
Carnegie Foundation classify KU as a top research university. KU
consistently earns high rankings for its academic offerings,
including its 46 nationally ranked graduate programs. KU
researchers conducted more than $249 million in federally sponsored
research last year, with strengths ranging from pharmacy and
pharmaceutical sciences to special education.
In the past decade, the university has invested more than $800
million in new and renovated facilities to enhance teaching and
research. Notable new construction includes the Earth, Energy &
Environment Center and Capitol Federal Hall, as well as the
Integrated Science Building, which comprises 280,000 square feet of
space for teaching, learning and interdisciplinary research in
chemistry, medicinal chemistry, physics, molecular biosciences, and
related fields.
There are 38 active startup companies created from KU discoveries,
and the university has 130 license agreements for commercial use of
KU technologies. The university has an on-campus incubator that
houses more than 40 corporate tenants ranging from KU spinouts to
established companies like Garmin and Archer Daniels Midland.
The University is located in Lawrence, a city with a population
exceeding 95,000. The community is known for its support of the
University, education, arts, and research and regularly appears in
various "best town" listings. Lawrence is centrally located between
the State of Kansas Capitol in Topeka and the major metropolitan
community of Kansas City.
The Position
The mission of the Dole Institute of Politics is to promote
political and civic participation as well as civil discourse in a
bipartisan, philosophically balanced manner. By providing a forum
for discussion of political and economic issues, fostering public
service leadership, and encouraging participation in the political
process, the Dole Institute emphasizes that politics is an
honorable profession and provides opportunities for all to interact
with political leaders, practitioners, and authors. The Dole
Institute also emphasizes that only through political and civic
participation can citizens redirect the course of our nation.
Senator Bob Dole's legacy at the University of Kansas was
established in 1997 upon the gift of his papers to KU. The Dole
Institute was dedicated in 2003 in KU's West District and became
home to the Senator Elizabeth Dole legacy upon the gift of her
papers in 2017.
The Dole Institute is home to a museum dedicated to the legacies of
Senators Bob and Elizabeth Dole, featuring the largest
stained-glass American flag in the world, a memory wall dedicated
to Kansas veterans of WWII, and the newly renovated Elizabeth Dole
Gallery and Reading Room. Job Description The Robert and Elizabeth
Dole Archive and Special Collections department is responsible for
collections, research, and exhibits at the Dole Institute. Both
Senators' personal papers and congressional materials are publicly
available for research, attracting scholars from all over the
world.

describing "four fundamental principles for the operations of the
Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics in order to guide future Dole
Institute Board of Advisors, future Chancellors of the University
of Kansas and future Directors of the Institute. It addresses the
Institute's mission, funding provided by KU for the Dole Institute,
the selection of future Directors of the Institute, and preferred
reporting lines." A copy of Senator Dole's written statement may be
