Arkansas 180: Legislative Session’s Impact on Higher Education
On Jan. 12, 2009 the Arkansas State legislature convened the 87th General Assembly. This legislative session will have a profound impact on the University of Arkansas. As a public university, nearly half of the institution’s funding comes from state appropriations. Any reduction of that funding affects the university’s ability to hold tuition and fees increases down. That’s why it’s important that the university and its stakeholders be actively involved in the legislative process.
