University of Kansas chancellor takes turn at jury duty

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) - The University of Kansas chancellor had his turn at jury duty.

Chancellor Douglas Girod served as the foreman of a panel that tried and convicted a defendant Monday of a single misdemeanor count of sexual battery. The Lawrence Journal-World reports that Girod has been a Douglas County resident less than two years.

He moved from Mission Hills to the university’s chancellor’s residence in Lawrence when he took the reins as chancellor in summer 2017.
