Kansas State University, in association with the other five Regents universities, operates and supports the University Press of Kansas for the purpose of publishing scholarly and regional books on a nonprofit basis. K-State joined the consortium in 1967 when the press was officially reorganized by the Kansas Board of Regents. Until mid-1982, the operation was known as the Regents Press of Kansas.
The University Press of Kansas is the first American university press to operate as a statewide consortium under the specific sponsorship of all the state’s universities. A member of the Association of American University Presses since its founding in 1946, the press has published over 1400 titles, with more than 975 currently in print. Its ongoing American Presidency Series, with 35 titles issued to date, has been praised as one of the most interesting and rewarding historical series in this country.
The press is governed by a board of trustees, who are the chief academic officers of the sponsoring institutions and who appoint two members and two alternates from each faculty to serve on the advisory editorial committee. |
