The home of the Arkansas State University Red Wolves, Jonesboro is one of Arkansas’ oldest and largest cities. Like many others it rose to prominence after the construction of the local railroad line with connections to St. Louis. The Jonesboro local courthouse has had a rough history; it has been burned down 3 times in 150 years.

A recent Jonesboro lawsuit has been filed against ASU and an on-campus bookstore alleging unlawful lending practices. The suit, filed by a rival off campus bookstore, claims that the university delays its financial aid checks until after books are required for class, and forces students relying on their financial aid to take out a credit line based on their expected aid with the bookstore. The university does not have such an arrangement with anyone else and other bookstores contend this is a scheme to force students to buy their books at the artificially inflated prices of the on-campus store.
