The North Arkansas College Board of Trustees is looking into the potential of an affiliation with the University of Arkansas System. The board recently appointed Chair Luke Feighert and President Dr. Rick Massengale to lead discussions and examine the specifics of a possible agreement.
The U of A System is currently comprised of 21 campuses, divisions and units around the Natural State. The system currently has eight community colleges with East Arkansas Community College in Forrest City becoming the latest to merge in Februrary.
If Northark’s exploration process leads to a formal partnership, an agreement will be presented to the Board of Trustees for review and approval. The U of A Board of Trustees would also need to vote in favor of the agreement.
Coming up in future newscasts, KTLO, Classic Hits and The Boot News will hear from Dr. Massengale about the exploration and how an affiliation would affect Northark.
