The University Press of Kansas is a publisher located in Lawrence, KS that represents the six state universities in the US state of Kansas: Emporia State University, Fort Hays State University, Kansas State University (K-State), Pittsburg State University, the University of Kansas (KU), and Wichita State University.[lower-alpha 1]

History

The press was established in 1946, with major reorganizations in 1967 and 1976. Today, it operates as a consortium with representation from each of the participating universities. The press is located on the west portion of the KU campus.[3]

The press largely publishes books that deal with American politics and military history, as well as books that have a regional focus.[4]

Notes

  1. ↑ Washburn University, a public university located in Topeka, is funded by county sales tax and has its own board of regents.[2] It is thus not counted among the state universities.
