The University of Kansas (KU) is a public research university with its main campus in Lawrence, Kansas, United States, and several satellite campuses, research and educational centers, medical centers, and classes across the state of Kansas. The university is a member of the Association of American Universities and is classified among 'R1: Doctoral Universities – Very high research activity'. Founded March 21, 1865, the university was opened in 1866, under a charter granted by the Kansas State Legislature in 1864 and legislation passed in 1863 under the State Constitution, which was adopted two years after the 1861 admission of the former Kansas Territory as the 34th state into the Union.

Description of the flag

Here are renditions of the two flags used by my Alma Mater, the University of Kansas.

The first is the normal "KU" flag flown during normal weekdays, and consists of a blue field containing the letters "KU" in red bordered by white.

KU appears to use both the KU logo flag shown at the top of this page, as well as the blue/white/blue "K" supporters flag as official or quasi-official flags on campus.

KUMC was formerly an independent university, but is now fully integrated with the University of Kansas.

They do retain their own police department however, and both the blue/white/blue "K" flag, and a different version of the KU logo flag are used in department ceremonies.
