The University of Arkansas System is ready to
sue a Pine Bluff housing agency over defaulted loans.
UA System attorney Fred Harrison told an auditing committee
yesterday that it was time for legal action to recover $55,000 that UAPB loaned to the housing agency.
The agency -- Southeast Arkansas Community Development -- is run
by Pine Bluff Alderman Billy Freeman. Freeman already faces charges
stemming from the agency`s failure to pay back an advance from the
city of Pine Bluff.
There also have been questions from UA officials about whether
UAPB Chancellor Lawrence Davis was allowed to use education
funds to help Freeman`s agency.
