grants sovereign immunity to the State and its agencies. See Ark. Const. Art. 5 §
20. The University does not have liability insurance because it acts as a waiver of
the sovereign immunity to the extent it is covered. The immunity of political subdivisions
is also addressed at Section 21-9-301 of the Arkansas Code, which provides as follows:
- a) It is declared to be the public policy of the State of Arkansas that all counties,
municipal corporations, school districts, public charter schools, special improvement
districts, and all other political subdivisions of the state and any of their boards,
commissions, agencies, authorities, or other governing bodies shall be immune from
liability and from suit for damages except to the extent that they may be covered
by liability insurance.
- b) No tort action shall lie against any such political subdivision because of the
acts of its agents and employees.
- Any claims with respect to loss, expense, damage, liability, or demands for actual
or alleged injuries to persons or property arising out of any negligent act or omission
by the University and its employees or agents should be presented to the Claims Commission
of the State of Arkansas. See Ark. Code Ann. § 21-9-201, et. seq. However, the University
reserves its right to assert in good faith all claims and defenses available to it
in any proceedings in said Claims Commission or other forum.
