College Credit Dispute

An official with a Pine Bluff-area community college says his school's enrollment is suffering because a four-year university started offering concurrent enrollment at a nearby high school.

Southeast Arkansas College president Stephen Hilterbran has complained to the Arkansas Higher Education Coordinating Board about the University of Arkansas at Monticello offering classes for college credit at White Hall High School.

Hilterbran says the loss of credit hours has affected how much funding Southeast Arkansas College is able to get from the state.

UA-Monticello Chancellor H. Jack Lassiter says the university will continue to provide concurrent enrollment as long as the White Hall School District is happy with its services.
