Majority White Tennessee Legislature Strips HBCU Board

It seemed like things couldn’t get any more shocking after Tennessee Republicans kicked two Black State Representatives out of the State Legislature last year. But the latest move affecting Tennessee’s only publicly-funded, Historically Black University still managed to send shock waves across the state.

On Thursday, Republican Gov. Bill Lee, who is white, signed a bill from the majority white legislature removing the entire board of Tennessee State University…

Democrats say that the issues with the TSU have to do with chronic underfunding.

“Tennessee State University was denied those resources, and because they were denied the resources there were problems that occurred,” said State Rep. Justin Pearson, who was ousted from the State Legislature last year. “But instead of us rectifying the problems that we created through racist policies by underfunding Tennessee State University, we’re now advocating to vacate their board.”
