LITTLE ROCK (Monday, Nov. 7, 2022) — C.C. “Cliff” Gibson III, chairman of the Board of Trustees of the University of Arkansas, has called a special meeting of the board to be held at 11 a.m. on Nov. 18 at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville.

The meeting will be held in person and via Zoom, originating at the Janelle Y. Hembree Alumni House on the UA, Fayetteville campus. The purpose of the meeting will be for the Board to have a public vote of the Trustees on the selection of a new chancellor for the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville.

“While the possibility remains that the issue could be earlier resolved by the Board, it does seem appropriate that, if left unresolved, a public vote of the Trustees be held on the campus that will most be affected by a decision,” Gibson said.

The board also has regularly scheduled meetings Nov. 15-16 at the University of Arkansas at Monticello. A finalized agenda, zoom registration links and other details for the regularly scheduled meetings will be released later this week and posted here. A zoom registration for the Nov. 18 special meeting also will be posted prior to the meeting.
