CONWAY (Log Cabin Democrat) - University of Central Arkansas administrators met
Wednesday with members of a committee that are digging into questions
surrounding the university's Athletics Department.
Faculty have been upset since they learned some coaches
and staff received pay raises this year even as faculty in academics
have had only one pay raise in five years. Faculty did receive one-time
$1,000 bonuses this year.
Academic faculty are questioning student fees and academic funding going
to fund faculty bonuses and salary subsidies in the athletic
department. The questions come two years after UCA received full NCAA
Division I Active Membership. The move was at least partially funded by
money from auxiliaries, such as food service and housing.
