A meeting of the University of Arkansas Board of Trustees included around 40 minutes of sometimes lively debate Wednesday regarding a resolution that will add approximately $15 million in annual funds to the Razorbacks’ athletics department.
Trustee Kevin Crass expressed frustration with a lack of transparency regarding the resolution, a copy of which he said he only on the morning of the board’s meeting. Resolutions typically are included in meeting agendas that trustees receive and are posted online several days in advance.
UA chancellor Charles Robinson and athletics director Hunter Yurachek, both speaking from their offices in Fayetteville, told trustees they had not seen the proposal, which later passed by a full board vote of 7-3.
