a neighboring community college.The Times-Herald reports the board of trustees at Crowley’s Ridge Technical
Institute voted 3-2 to merge with East Arkansas Community College. All three
members who voted in favor of the merge were appointed this week by Gov. Asa
Hutchinson.
Officials of the technical institute say they’re concerned about how the
meeting was called and that they weren’t notified.
Board president Fredric Smith says the biggest concern of the merger is that
no information has been provided about how the process will be handled.
It’s unclear how students who’ve already registered for classes or those who
began classes Tuesday will be affected.
The community college’s board is expected to meet before Aug. 1 to accept the
decision.
