Hyneman’s tenure as UA trustee ends

Jan. 25 was the final trustees meeting for University of Arkansas Trustee Ben Hyneman of Jonesboro.

Hyneman, who has served on the board for 10 years, was its chairman for the past year. Trustee Mark Waldrip of Moro will replace him in that role, while Trustee John Goodson of Texarkana will become the vice chairman.

Trustee Morril Harriman of Little Rock will serve again as board secretary. Kelly Eichler, also of Little Rock, will continue in her role as assistant secretary.

At his final meeting, the board presented Hyneman with a collage of pictures of the UA System’s campuses. He already received the normal going-away present — a gavel — after his last stint as chairman, which ended in 2016.
