Board meetings and strategic plans from University of Arkansas Hope-Texarkana
The board meeting featured a Chancellor's report addressing storm-related facility damage and the overarching goal of fostering an effective student learning environment. Cabinet reports included updates on the Lithium Learns work expansion and concurrent enrollment, the upcoming Ironhorse Advantage program, a new budget process called Anaplan, and various facility improvements such as boiler replacement and roof sealing. Additionally, the meeting included an HLC accreditation update and the announcement that nominating and executive committees will report at the next meeting.
The meeting included the annual board training session, which members completed by reading and signing the required paperwork. The Chancellor's report highlighted updates on new employees, a recommendation for the Board of Visitors to approve supporting the college's purchase of 26.09 acres of adjacent land, progress on a partnership with UAM, and enrollment updates for the Collegiate Academy and SCC programs. The Cabinet report provided enrollment highlights for Fall 2025, noting a 7.7% increase in total headcount from Fall 2024, along with updates on financial reports, maintenance grounds, and the Strategic Plan. Important upcoming dates, including the 60th Anniversary Party, were discussed, and the date for the April Board of Visitors meeting was rescheduled to March 20.
The meeting addressed tuition and fee increases for FY25-26, which are just under 10%. There was a discussion regarding the need for repairs to facilities, including the boiler/chiller system in the Student Center, campus doors and locking mechanisms, and the Hempstead Hall parking lot. Alternate resources for funds to cover these repair costs may be needed due to extensive deterioration. The Lithium visit is scheduled for June 11. The current officers will remain in place until the new Chancellor assumes office. The student representative was introduced.
