Sheffield Nelson s allegation that University of Arkansas System President Donald Bobbitt had misled the UA board of trustees regarding a planned affiliation with the University of Phoenix was "inaccurate and false," according to a resolution passed by the board on Monday.
The University of Arkansas System board of trustees declined to give their blessing to a potential affiliation between the system and the University of Phoenix during a special Zoom meeting Monday albeit with a narrow majority, as five members voted against, four voted in favor, and Trustee Kelly Eichler abstained.
