MORE NEWS FROM UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS LITTLE ROCK: UALR law professor files claim with state Claims Commission over Named Professorship. “Steinbuch, who joined the law school faculty in 2005, also claims Beiner unilaterally extended the Named Professorship she holds, the Nadine Baum Distinguished Professor of Law, for a fifth year. . . . Beiner extending her own named professorship beyond four years violates not only the law school’s stated rules — no new named professorships have been created recently, which is a condition for extending a Named Professorship beyond four years for the same holder — but a conflict of interest, according to Steinbuch. Also in his filing, Steinbuch said he’s being discriminated against because of his past conflicts with his superiors regarding naming a named professorship after former President Bill Clinton, as well as Steinbuch’s longstanding practice of having guest lecturers for his classes when he observes Jewish holidays.”
