AN ACT FOR THE ARKANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY - NEWPORT APPROPRIATION FOR THE 2025-2026 FISCAL YEAR.

It directly affects ASU-Newport's operations by funding administrative, IT, academic, and support roles, including positions like IT specialists, academic deans, and public safety staff. The bill specifies maximum employee counts and exact salary ranges for each role, such as $156,658 for a Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs.
