By Benjamin Hardy Verified| Arkansas Times Verified Hours after the Arkansas Legislature wrapped up the 2025 session on Wednesday, Gov. Sarah Sanders issued a surprise veto targeting a single item in the budget of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock — the $191,605 salary of the director of the school’s Anderson Institute on Race and Ethnicity. “Arkansas will not waste nearly $200,000 in taxpayer dollars on DEI administrators who promote woke nonsense,” Sanders said in a letter to legislative leaders.
