In this edition of the "Speaking of Arkansas" podcast, host Greg Harton is joined by Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette Editor Rusty Turner for a conversation with Steinmetz on a wide range of issues related to the university: • Efforts to promote diversity and inclusion on campus and in the state's business community. • A planned arts and design district in south Fayetteville. • Safety on campus, ranging from sexual assault to concealed handguns to the tragic, recent death of a student struck by a car as she walked in a crosswalk. • UA-Fayetteville's economic impact on the state. • Whether anyone needs to come to the rescue of Mullins Library on the UA campus.
