Arkansas Democrat-Gazette: Hardin bonus in ’07 broke law

Trustee gives $100,000 to UCA Foundation as correction

LITTLE ROCK — The University of Central Arkansas Foundation sent the college $100,000 Friday afternoon after UCA administrators realized that a bonus paid to the university’s president one year ago was illegally funded with taxpayer dollars.

The payment came as the Arkansas attorney general’s office researches the legality of another bonus, this one $300,000, approved for UCA President LuHardin in May.
