The backstory here: the state government in Arkansas is now totally controlled by Republicans. You don't get a top position at UAMS, e.g., chancellor, unless you've shown Republican leaders that you're happy to bow to their leadership and work with them. Only Republican-leaning top administrators need apply.

And those top administrators rake in huge, huge salaries and benefits, as low-level workers are sued for $100 debts.

As CNN reports, Arkansas' flagship university med school hospital UAMS has been on an orgy of filing lawsuits — numbers rose from 35 lawsuits in 2016 to more than 3,000 in 2021 — to recover payments owed for medical services, some as little as $100. Those sued include UAMS employees who worked during the Covid pandemic and were then called "heroes" by UAMS.
