The University of Arkansas will use its SEC Network revenue to fund several of the school’s eight guiding priorities.
Chancellor Joe Steinmetz’s Discovery, Creativity, Innovation and Collaboration Fund will invest an annual amount of $1 million in new projects designed to enhance the school’s research and discovery mission, provide renovations to the campus, promote innovation in teaching and learning and improve graduation rates.
The majority of funding will come from its share of SEC Network revenues and television packages –distributed by Jeff Long, vice chancellor for intercollegiate athletics — while the remainder will be allocated through other university sources.
