President Keeran Retirement Announced
President Keith P. Keeran, who shepherded Kentucky Christian University from a small unaccredited college to a fast-growing university, is stepping down. Keith Keeran announced he will be leaving the presidency of KCU after more than 20 years.A seven-member committee will search for a replacement and the university’s board of trustees hopes to interview candidates by September 2008.“I’ve been doing this for 20 years. That’s a generation,” Keeran said in a telephone interview. “My energy level is not what it was 20 years ago and, while I still dearly love this institution, I think someone with fresh insights needs to be at the helm.”“Dr. Keeran has been a tremendous asset,” said KCU board of trustees chairman Robert L. Waters. “He brought leadership, knowledge, guidance and vision. I could go on and on.”A 1966 graduate of what was then Kentucky Christian College, Keeran recalls a rudimentary campus where he received a high-quality, albeit unaccredited, education.“When I was a student, we had quite a few log cabins here on campus,” he said. The cabins, along with some former GI units and a mobile home park, served as married student housing.The campus did have some traditional dormitories, to be sure, but since Keeran’s student days has developed a modern campus, building classrooms, a student life center, residence halls and three large apartment complexes.KCU acquired an existing structure for an administration building and currently is collaborating with King’s Daughters Medical Center on a campus-based medical specialties building, the second floor of which will house the university’s Yancey School of Nursing.Keeran’s work to accredit KCC brought the college academic legitimacy and stature. “I graduated in 1966 and went from here to graduate school and I found quickly that the education here was more than sufficient, but there was no recognition from outside, so it was difficult to transfer credits,” he said.“Now our students are quite attractive to other institutions.”The process of achieving accreditation brought more faculty with doctoral degrees; currently nearly 75 percent of the faculty hold doctorates or other terminal degrees.KCU is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, and its nursing, social work and teacher education programs are professionally accredited.KCU also established an independent college in the Crimean city of Simferopol, in the former Soviet republic of Ukraine. The college has an enrollment of about 200 students. “It provides us an opportunity to engage other cultures,” Keeran said. “It was a real pioneering work to establish a private institution in a part of the world not familiar with private education.”Many of the college’s graduates serve as translators and interpreters. “The mission of the college is to educate students and to place Christian literature in the hands of the people.”The search committee of five board members, one faculty and one alumni representative is collecting applications and will narrow down the field before presenting a final list to the full board next year, Waters said.The board will be looking for a candidate ready to take on more academic and campus growth, among other things, he said.Keeran will continue as chancellor of the university.— Article by MIKE JAMES of the Daily Independent
