LITTLE ROCK (AP) – The University of Central Arkansas Board of Trustees will meet Thursday to discuss the future of embattled president Lu Hardin, who has faced questions after he was awarded a $300,000 bonus in secret last spring.
Rush F. Harding III, vice chairman of the board, said Wednesday that the panel would meet at 11 a.m. on the UCA campus at Conway to discuss Hardin’s future but did not know whether Hardin planned to resign his post.
Arkansas Times: Hardin to resign?
We just heard from a UCA faculty member who says that UCA President Lu Hardin has decided to resign on a $1 million buyout. Hardin had four years left on his contract.
UCA spokesman Warwick Sabin said that he hadn’t heard that Hardin was going to resign as of 4:30 p.m. today.
Hardin is scheduled to speak to the UCA faculty tomorrow at 1:40 p.m. Faculty president Kurt Boniecki said that he hadn’t heard about the resignation either, and added that Hardin’s beginning-of-semester meeting with faculty and staff is an annual event that has been on the schedule for a while. We have calls in to both Hardin’s office and to UCA board of trustees member Rush Harding. Stay tuned.
