FAYETTEVILLE -- Officials at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville have retained a pair of firms to assist with the school's ongoing searches for a permanent athletic director and a head football coach.
The UA announced Tuesday it will use personnel from the firm Korn Ferry on a consultative basis to vet candidates in the search for an athletic director, and will work with the executive search firm DHR International in the search for a coach.
The UA has agreed to pay Korn Ferry a one-time fee of $75,000 for its services, plus direct out-of-pocket expenses based on the engagement letter signed Tuesday and obtained by the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette through a public records request.
