Joe Steinmetz became the University of Arkansas' sixth chancellor of the Fayetteville campus three years ago. 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.
