History Professor at Henderson State, Dr. Megan Hickerson, opposed the process this decision for the plan came about.
“When this strategy was introduced, it was done with no consultation with faculty. There was no discussion about the ways to try to fix the problems and we would have really embraced the opportunity to be part of this process.”
Dr. Fred Worth is a professor and also on the faculty senate. He says the faculty senate passed a no confidence vote on Dr. Ambrose. He supported that due to what he says was a lack of information coming from the chancellor about this.
“There has been no shared governance or transparency in this process. Dr. Ambrose is reimagining Henderson without our feedback in the process.”
ASU Board of Trustee Jerry Morgan asked Chancellor Ambrose about whether there was an alternate plan, Ambrose said,
“I have asked this question over and over and I don’t have one. I believe that Arkansas would be asking what to do with over 80 acres of property, there would be $78 million of debt that would become the responsibility of the state of Arkansas, and we would be looking at a campus closure.”
