Yes, there is a point...vacating the board now allows Lee to appoint a board and have them rubber stamp the President of his choosing before the beginning of the next fiscal year. Not true. This action does not disband the presidential search committee and their responsibilities. You all seem to be reading things into this because of all the conspiracy theories about what the state is doing to TSU. Don't get me wrong I'm not on the side of the state by any means, but what you said is not correct. If the board is vacated it will be on June 29, 2024. The announcement of a new president is scheduled for some time in April. So, the current board will still make the decision. Also, Governor Lee selected the current board. Generally, there are names for potential board members provided to the Governor that he selects from, as he did with the current board at TSU and the boards at all of the other state universities. Why wouldn’t the Governor simply replace the ineffective board members once their term expires?

That's why TSU have the issues they are facing. That's why several of the Legislators made the comment to BOG and Dr. Glover. "It look like Dr. Glover is advising the BOG. Instead, of the BOG advising Dr. Glover. She done a number of things without the approval of the BOG. The sad part is, a majority of the BOG live in the Nashville area. DC, is correct about the time the board is scheduled to be vacated. The sad part is there are alumni, spreading the a lot of mis-information. When asked, why don't alumni want to hold Dr. Glover responsible, there is no answer or ask, at what point did TSU Administration get off track - derailed, that caused the university to be in it's current condition. I recall a few years ago. There was a meeting with Dr' Glover. A legislator or member the Board of Regents "white female", warned Dr. Glover, about enrollment; housing and a few other area. They were areas of concern and they need to be corrected. IMO, a majority of this could have been adverted, if TSU Administration and BOG had worked together to address the issues. The students, alumni and parents has been talking about for the past five to ten years. It makes no sense, not at all. For, Glover to hire Douglas Allen, TSU’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Vice President of Business and Finance. He and others was already under investigation for mis-management of funds at Kentucky State. Those are the type of management decisions, the BOG should be questioning. The question for those that are concerned about the stability - future of TSU. Do they want TSU to progress or remain status quo.

The question for those that are concerned about the stability - future of TSU. Do they want TSU to progress or remain status quo. I believe you misunderstood my question. Does he not determine the appointment of individuals on the board? Does he not also have the authority to asked for any individual to step-down from the board? Did he previously reappoint several of these board members? You are seeking a debate on whether the board was functional in terms of their duties. I am not seeking a debate on that issue. I am seeking discourse on the course of action by the state apparatus that is in a position to control the leadership and governance of any public institution in the state. Again, he selected most of the individuals on the board in the first place. Removing individuals or replacing individuals when their terms end is different from the state legislative body passing legislation to vacate the board and placing the board within a different control mechanism for then the governor to install new members is confusing at best and autocratic in nature at it worse framework.br]

I am not seeking a debate! Just stating the facts. The Governor, appoints and approved by the Governor with the consent by the General Assembly. One member is from the Faculty Senate. Per the FOCUS Act - Legislation, which governs all State Universities. The law allows for an independent governing board at the Universities - TBR member universities. The legislation enables the Tennessee Board of Regents (TBR) to maintain a "sharpened focus" on the state's community and technical colleges, increases autonomy and local control for TBR universities, and strengthens the Tennessee Higher Education Commission. The legislation includes a restructuring of the Tennessee Board of Regents, which establishes local governing boards for the universities under the oversight of TBR, that allows TSU and the other universities' to establish its own governing board. Vacating the board - eliminating the BOG period is the intent. However, this may or may not happen. Instead, there is negations' underway to replace a few. Unilt, a new BOG is appointed. Which should be within the next three to five months.

Why wouldn’t the Governor simply replace the ineffective board members once their term expires? Well, that's the million dollar question for the handful of republicans that are leading the charge. The Governor will automatically have the authority to appoint a new board on June 30th. To vacate the BOT at 11:59PM on June 29th simply shows they are creating a false power move in my opinion. I'm not sure who they are trying to appeal to because it doesn't seem to resonate among the greater population of TN as a major issue of interest. Some people were pushing to extend the BOT's term to for one year. I suspect this was a power move to say no way that is happening. Granted, the Governor could reappoint some of the board members, even the entire board if he desires. It has been suggested by a State Representative, who is also a TSU alumnus, that the Governor consider retaining some of the current members to help with transitioning the new president. If he chooses to do that, it'll be interesting to see which members he reappoints.
