CONWAY, Ark. - The University of Central Arkansas has named former Arkansas bank commissioner Robert H. "Bunny" Adcock Jr. as its interim chief of finances.

The school announced Tuesday that Adcock began in the post this week after the retirement Friday of Paul McLendon, who was vice president for financial services.

It was while McLendon had the post that the university communicated with the Higher Education Department about a line of credit. Agency director Jim Purcell said he was told the university had not used the credit line but then-UCA president Lu Hardin said he told Purcell that, at the time he asked, that the university had no debt on the credit line, which Hardin said was true at the time.

Hardin subsequently left his post.

Adcock was appointed by UCA Interim President Tom Courtway. Adcock is vice chairman of the board of directors of Home BancShares, a bank holding company that includes First State Bank of Conway.

Adcock was bank commissioner from 2003-2007 and was president of the Arkansas Development Finance Authority from 1996 to 1997.
