The Arkansas State Claims Commission has ruled it does not have jurisdiction over a dispute involving a named professorship at the University of Arkansas, Little Rock, William H. Bowen School of Law. The case will now be handled by the circuit court.
The conflict began in September 2022, when UALR law professor Robert Steinbuch filed a complaint after he was not awarded a named professorship for the 2022-23 academic year. The decision was made by then-Dean Theresa Beiner.
