An editor has launched a copyright investigation involving this section. The text under investigation is currently hidden from public view, but is accessible in the page history. Please do not remove this notice or restore blanked content until the issue is resolved by an administrator, copyright clerk, or volunteer response agent.

The purported copyright violation copies text from http://www.enrollmentmanagementreport.com/m-meet-us.aspx (Copyvios report); as such, this page has been listed on the copyright problems page.

Unless the copyright status of the text of this page or section is clarified and determined to be compatible with Misplaced Pages's content license, the problematic text and revisions or the entire page may be deleted one week after the time of its listing (i.e. after 17:57, 4 December 2016 (UTC)).

What can I do to resolve the issue?
  • If you hold the copyright to this text, you can license it in a manner that allows its use on Misplaced Pages.
    1. You must permit the use of your material under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 4.0 International License (CC BY-SA 4.0) and the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
    2. Explain your intent to license the content on this article's discussion page.
    3. To confirm your permission, you can either display a notice to this effect at the site of original publication or send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org or a postal letter to the Wikimedia Foundation. These messages must explicitly permit use under CC BY-SA and the GFDL. See Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials.
    4. Note that articles on Misplaced Pages must be written from a neutral point of view and must be verifiable in published third-party sources; consider whether, copyright issues aside, your text is appropriate for inclusion in Misplaced Pages.
  • You can demonstrate that this text is in the public domain or is already under a license suitable for Misplaced Pages. Explain this on this article's discussion page, with reference to evidence. Misplaced Pages:Public domain and Misplaced Pages:Compatibly licensed may assist in determining the status.
  • Otherwise, you may rewrite this page without copyright-infringing material. Your rewrite should be placed on this page, where it will be available for an administrator or clerk to review it at the end of the listing period. Follow this link to create the temporary subpage. Please mention the rewrite upon completion on this article's discussion page.
    • Simply modifying copyrighted text is not sufficient to avoid copyright infringement—if the original copyright violation cannot be cleanly removed or the article reverted to a prior version, it is best to write the article from scratch. (See Misplaced Pages:Close paraphrasing.)
    • For license compliance, any content used from the original article must be properly attributed; if you use content from the original, please leave a note at the top of your rewrite saying as much. You may duplicate non-infringing text that you had contributed yourself.
    • It is always a good idea, if rewriting, to identify the point where the copyrighted content was imported to Misplaced Pages and to check to make sure that the contributor did not add content imported from other sources. When closing investigations, clerks and administrators may find other copyright problems than the one identified. If this material is in the proposed rewrite and cannot be easily removed, the rewrite may not be usable.
Steps to list an article at Misplaced Pages:Copyright problems:
  1. Add the following to the bottom of Misplaced Pages:Copyright problems/2016 November 27: * {{subst:article-cv|Allen Meadors}} from http://www.enrollmentmanagementreport.com/m-meet-us.aspx. ~~~~
  2. Add the following template to the talk page of the contributor of the material: {{subst:Nothanks-web|pg=Allen Meadors|url=http://www.enrollmentmanagementreport.com/m-meet-us.aspx}} ~~~~
  3. Place {{copyvio/bottom}} at the end of the portion you want to blank. If nominating the entire page, please place this template at the top of the page, set the "fullpage" parameter to "yes", and place {{copyvio/bottom}} at the very end of the article.

In February 2009, Meadors was appointed president of the University of Central Arkansas (UCA). In September 2011, it was reported that the university board had bought out Meadors's contract and replaced him with an interim president. The broad's actions followed a controversy about renovations and expansion of the university president's house. The university campus food service contractor Aramark offered to provide new housing next to the president's house at no cost to the institution. Meadors reportedly did not inform the board that the deal involved granting Aramark a new service contract. This deal was uncovered by a Arkansas Democrat-Gazette investigation. According to the Arkansas Times, the "UCA Board decided...to investigate how the misinformation on the Aramark money came about, with a promise of taking sworn testimony. The prospect of that proceeding apparently led to the swift decision by Meadors that it was time to go". In January 2013, Meadors pleaded guilty to violating the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act during his time as the UCA president, after he was charged with destroying a document relating to the Aramark case.

Meadors has been a member of the faculty at the University of Texas, Southern Illinois University and the University of Kansas. Prior positions held include Dean of Health, Social and Public Services, Eastern Washington University; Dean of Public Health, University of Oklahoma; Chair of Department of Health Administration, University of Oklahoma; Executive Director of the Northwest Arkansas Radiation Therapy Institute.

Personal life

Meadors lives in Seven Lakes, North Carolina with his wife. They have two sons.
