President MeadorsWith classes back in session, the second semester is off and running. Thanks to everyone who worked hard to ensure we were ready.
I hope that everyone had a wonderful holiday break. We look forward to a great new year at UCA.
We were notified following the holiday break that the overall revenues were down again in the second quarter. On Jan. 11, Governor Beebe announced another reduction in the state budget. UCA will lose another $1.2 million as a result.
We suspected this might happen, and the university’s vice presidents have been working on how to handle potential additional reductions since last November.
Each vice president will be working with their staff to come up with reduction plans that will cause the least strain on the education of our students. This is a disappointment, but we will weather this and continue to work together to make UCA the quality education destination in Arkansas and beyond.
