Then [[governor of Arkansas|Governor]] [[Bill Clinton]] appointed a nine-member Board of Trustees, and all assets and liabilities of Oil Belt and SAU-El Dorado were transferred by June 30, 1992, to SouthArk. The former Oil Belt campus became known as the East Campus and the former SAU-El Dorado the West Campus.<br /> <br /> The college's name was changed legally to South Arkansas College on July 1, 2023. The decision was made in an effort to reflect better the college's standing as a regional institution.<br /> <br /> ==Athletics==<br /> <br /> In the 2019–2020 academic year, the college began intercollegiate athletics, starting men's and women's basketball programs. The team mascot is the Stars.<br /> <br /> In 2022, women's softball and men's baseball were added.<br /> <br /> The program competes in Division II of the National Junior College Athletic Association Division, in Region 2.<br /> <br /> The 2023 South Arkansas College Stars baseball team won the NJCAA DII Region 2 regular season championship and the NJCAA DII Plains District championship. The Stars went on to the 2023 NJCAA DII World Series and finished in the top five teams, with a 47–18 final record.
