The University of Arkansas at Little Rock

The University of Arkansas at Little Rock The University of Arkansas at Little Rock was founded in 1927 as Little Rock Junior College, under the supervision of the city Board of Education. That first semester there were eight instructors and approximately 100 students. By 1929 the college was accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, a status it has maintained through changes in size and status. Housed initially in public school buildings, the college moved in 1949 to its present location in southwestern Little Rock on a site donated by Little Rock businessman Raymond Rebsamen. The college also became the sole beneficiary of a continuing trust established by former Governor George W. Donaghey. In 1957 the institution began a four-year degree program, became independent and privately supported under a separate board of trustees, and took the name Little Rock University. After several years of discussion and study, Little Rock University in September 1969 merged with the University of Arkansas to create the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. This was the initial step in the creation of a multicampus system that now includes eight campuses: University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, University of Arkansas at Little Rock, University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, University of Arkansas at Monticello, Phillips Community College of the University of Arkansas, University of Arkansas Community College at Hope, and University of Arkansas Community College at Batesville. The University of Arkansas merger initiated a period of rapid growth, which saw UALR go from about 3,500 students and 75 full-time faculty members in 1969 to about 10,000 students and over 400 full-time faculty members in the 1999-2000 academic year. The University s expanded offerings now include 4 associate s degree programs, 54 bachelor s degree programs, an extensive schedule of night, weekend, and off-campus classes, and a wide range of community educational services. UALR began offering graduate and professional work in 1975. Besides the juris doctor, it now has three doctoral programs and 36 graduate and professional programs, as well as joint programs with other campuses of the University of Arkansas System. Within this structure UALR is state supported, operationally separate, and specifically oriented toward serving the educational needs of the central Arkansas metropolitan area. Presidents of Little Rock Junior College include: R.C. Hall (1927-1930), John A. Larson (1930-1950), Granville Davis (1950-1954), and E.Q. Brothers (acting president, 1954-1956). Carey V. Stabler was president of Little Rock Junior College (1956-1957) and Little Rock University (1957-1969), and was chancellor of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock (1969-1972). Other chancellors of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock include: James H. Fribourgh (acting chancellor, 1972-1973, 1982), G. Robert Ross (1973-1982), James H. Young (1982-1992), Joel E. Anderson (interim chancellor 1993), and Charles E. Hathaway (1993-present). The Campus and Facilities The 150-acre UALR main campus features buildings finished in glass, concrete and orange brick, and wooded areas of pine and oak trees. Most of the buildings were built after 1970, and none was built before 1947. The campus features three fountains, most notable of which is the Elizabeth Cooper Fountain west of Student Union Building A. The administration building has two wings. Administration South houses on its central floor the Office of Human Relations and most of the offices needed for student records, including the Offices of Admissions and Records and Student Financial Services. The upper floor of the wing contains the offices of the chancellor, the vice chancellors for academic affairs, finance, and university advancement, and the Office of Institutional Research; the bottom floor houses developmental learning programs and other offices of the College of Education. Administration North has various business offices on the bottom and central floors; the Cashier on the central floor; and the Graduate School offices on the upper floor.

Stabler Hall, completed in 1973, launched UALR s concept of constructing taller buildings to conserve space. The seven-story structure features a 200-seat lecture hall on the first floor and an observatory on the roof. Faculty in the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences and some departments of the College of Professional Studies occupy this building. The building also houses the campus radio and television stations. The University Services Building (formerly the Student Services Building), completed in 1974, provides a convenient location for Human Resource Services, the print shop, the Office of Alumni, the Office of Development, and the Office of Communications. The 700-seat University Theatre is the site of academic activities, theatre and dance, and many programs of public interest. Rehearsal hall and shop facilities were added to the Theatre early in 1977. The building also contains a smaller studio theatre. Two structures on the main campus, a 600- space parking deck and a 306-bed student residence hall, were completed in 1992. The University maintains a relationship with the University Conference Center located downtown in the Excelsior Hotel. The Center, operated by the University until 1987, has auditoria and meeting rooms to accommodate large and small groups. The Office of Campus and Community Partnerships and the Neighborhood Homework Center have offices at 2510 Fair Park close to the main campus. The UALR School of Law is located downtown in the 152,000 square foot Law Center located adjacent to MacArthur Park. University Statements: Mission, Objectives, Role and Scope Most universities today develop and publish statements explaining their purposes and describing their programs. Official boards that govern a campus or coordinate its activities in relation to other campuses also develop and publish such statements. For UALR there are mission statements and role and scope statements developed at three levels: the University of Arkansas System, the statewide coordinating board, and the campus. Although not identical, the statements are similar and consistent in content, each reflecting a different perspective from a different level of responsibility. Included in this section are the role and scope statement for UALR adopted by the University of Arkansas Board of Trustees, and the role and scope statement for UALR published by the Arkansas Department of Higher Education and adopted by the Arkansas Higher Education Coordinating Board. They are followed by the current mission, objectives, and role and scope statements developed at UALR. The mission statement of the University of Arkansas System is included in the following chapter.
