Credit Chieko Hara / University of Arkansas The University of Arkansas Board of Trustees on Wednesday approved a resolution to leave the statue of former U.S. Sen. J. William Fulbright where it is on the University of Arkansas campus in Fayetteville, but to provide “historical context” for the monument to the longtime leader. Fulbright’s legacy has come under increased scrutiny in recent months. He served one term in the U.S. House of Representatives and served in the U.S. Senate from 1945 until losing the Democratic primary for his seat in 1974. Fulbright is the longest-serving chairman in the history of the Senate’s Committee on Foreign Relations. The Fulbright Program was created in 1946 by Sen. Fulbright and is managed by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the United States Department of State. More than 400,000 “Fulbrighters” have participated in the program which now operates in more than 160 countries.
