According to source, Arkansas college students would face sizable tuition hikes this fall if state revenues are cut, Gov. Mike Beebe and University of Arkansas officials warned legislators, alumni and others attending Razorback Day at the Capitol on Wednesday.

Small increases can be expected otherwise, Beebe said at the event.

Some pending legislation would cut taxes and provide incentives to businesses locating or expanding in Arkansas.
Tax cuts will bring unintended consequences, the governor said.

“Everybody who runs for office loves tax cuts, including me. But (tax cuts) must be measured and responsible, and there are ramifications (for cuts),” he said during a luncheon at Union Station. “These are real people that will be hurt, whether they are college students or somebody’s grandmother in a nursing home. We can’t let them down.”

College trustees face raising tuition even with his proposed budget, the governor said.

“Don’t go crazy with it. Raise it as little as you can,” he added.

Beebe made his comments barely two hours before the state House approved three tax-cut proposals that together would lop about $60 million from state revenues over the next two years.

According to source, Yesterday, politicians honored the Martin Luther King federal holiday and national day of service at college campuses throughout the state.

In Little Rock, Mike Beebe (D) spoke at to a crowd of about 200 at UALR’s campus yesterday. Beebe claimed the commission is much better off today than it was before Phil Kaplan was positioned as chairmen of the Martin Luther King Jr. Commission. The Arkansas State Government, in 2009, restructured the Commission and, according to Beebe, since then the Commision has been better able to “embrace King’s message of nonviolence and cultural diversity.”

Cultural diversity and serious academic study on race, ethnicity and its accompanying cultural, political and economic intersections are happening at the UALR campus. At UALR, Chancellor Dr. Joel Anderson’s has been making headlines for his commitment to the university’s Institute on Race and Ethnicity.

Anderson believes that “Little Rock is an ideal place for such an academic center (as the Institute on Race and Diversity). The university has a history of involvement with city and state projects, and the state is known throughout the country for turmoil surrounding the integration of black students at Central High School.”

Anderson’s detractors however, criticize his work as “white guilt” even though the study of the African Diaspora and African American history are full-time vocations at colleges and universities in many major, and even smaller colleges and universities throughout the nation.

Southern romanticism with the Civil War has retarded the growth of Arkansas to move forward in race matters. It is fortunate that Dr. Anderson and UALR has committed to living in the spirit of Dr. King’s vision, rather than in the voice that accompanies speeches and parades.

The Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame’s Salute to Joe Kleine on Thursday night, Nov. 18, at the Stephens Center on the campus of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.

Joe Kleine played basketball at the University of Arkansas from 1982-85 prior to a 15-year NBA career. Kleine, a 2002 inductee into the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame, is now an assistant basketball coach at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.

Thursday’s event will be the Hall of Fame’s second annual fall salute. Last fall, the organization honored former Razorback football star Jim Lindsey during a dinner at Springdale.

The Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame inducted its first class in 1959. David Grimes of Conway is the organization’s president, and Ray Tucker serves as the executive director.

Kleine moved to Little Rock full time at the conclusion of his NBA career and has long been active in community events. He was hired by UALR in March 2007. On the day his hiring was announced, he confessed that he had been thinking about coaching college basketball for at least five years.
