Established in 1834, the Presbyterian-affiliated, liberal arts university is the oldest institution of higher education in Arkansas.

Incoming Assistant Professor of English Dr. Chris Hall said, "State laws and power structures allow lives to flourish, or neglect people or kill them, based on classifications of race and gender that are wrongly imagined to have a definite biological basis." He added, "At University of the Ozarks I will continue to pursue teaching that brings diverse perspectives, marginalized texts and equitable classroom practices to the forefront of courses on African American and world literature."
