FAYETTEVILLE -- A watchdog that would request a muzzle becomes more lapdog than watchdog it seems.
So Arkansas taxpayers and current and prospective students and faculty of the University of Arkansas system should be considerably concerned that the UA Board of Trustees would consider muzzling itself.
The board's 10 members, supposed to be the question-asking watchdogs over the UA system, are expected to consider a proposal next month by term-limited departed board Chairman Ben Hyneman that on its surface seems apt to make for a board less inquisitive and more servile to the UA President and campus chancellors.
