About the Press
Established as a consortium by the Board of Regents, the press is governed by a Board of Trustees, who are the chief academic officers of the six universities and who appoint faculty members from each institution to serve on the advisory Editorial Committee. The press is located on the west campus of the University of Kansas. Profiled by The Chronicle of Higher Education (3 July 1998) as "a distinctive model of success in turbulent times," the press focuses generally on history, political science, and philosophy. More specifically, it concentrates on presidential studies, military studies, American history (especially political, cultural, intellectual, and western), U.S. government and public policy, legal studies, and social and political philosophy.
