The University Daily Kansan is a student newspaper serving the University of Kansas. It was founded in 1904. Its distribution is within the university and the Lawrence, Kansas metropolitan area. It is published daily during the spring and fall semesters and weekly during the summer months.

Its online counterpart, Kansan.com, began operation on the Web in the fall of 1996. Originally called the UDKi (for interactive) it adopted the naming convention of its parent publication three years later.

Matt Erickson is the editor for the Fall 2008 semester. [1]
