The Log Cabin Democrat newspaper in Conway about 91³Ô¹ÏÍø’s impressive showing in :
“Arkansas State University’s Center for Social Research recently surveyed 415 registered voters across the state. … The survey focused on four universities University of Central Arkansas, ASU, University of Arkansas-Fayetteville and University of Arkansas-Little Rock.
“Across the board, the university that garnered the best results was 91³Ô¹ÏÍø. From familiarity with the school to its academic performance to its marketing, 91³Ô¹ÏÍø scored higher than the other schools, markedly in some areas.
“That is truly a testament to the hard work put in over the years by many dedicated faculty, staff and administrators.
“Among the findings:
“Nearly 37 percent of respondents gave 91³Ô¹ÏÍø an ‘A’ grade as an academic institution. About 35 percent gave UA-Fayetteville the same grade. The number falls significantly to ASU (26 percent) and UALR (20 percent). Combining ‘A’ and ‘B’ responses, 91³Ô¹ÏÍø earned 80 percent of responses, about the same as UA-Fayetteville and ASU but significantly ahead of UALR.
“About a third of respondents correctly identified 91³Ô¹ÏÍø’s ‘Center of Learning’ motto. One in four knew UA-Fayetteville’s research university slogan, and only about one in 10 recognized ASU’s ‘Powering Minds’ or UALR’s ‘Where Excellence Has Many Faces’ mantra. …
“These survey results [seem] to bolster 91³Ô¹ÏÍø’s credibility as a school where students (and their parents) get value for their dollars.”
