An FAQ page on the university's website acknowledges that the financial condition has reached crisis levels stemming from missed enrollment targets and operating deficits. This fall, the university posted a projected deficit of $46 million by the end of the fiscal year The university identified inefficient processes in financial aid, advising and enrollment systems, that contributed to its woes. It also said those problems were exacerbated by 2024’s messy federal rollout of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid the university launched a full scholarship program for some students without a plan to fund it throughout students’ journey to graduation It paid $37 million toward the scholarship in fiscal 2022 using federal pandemic emergency funds TSU had to issue tens of millions of dollars in institutional financial aid causing it to heavily discount its tuition with fall enrollment hitting 8,198 students in 2023 But the university couldn’t ultimately afford to maintain those aid levels Taking aim at the university’s management, Tennessee lawmakers last March passed a Republican-led bill to replace all of the university’s trustees and restructure its board Emergency state funding last fall kept the institution operating but Tucker said TSU will need more to not just turn around — but to stay open “It’s a fact that we can’t pay our bills,” Tucker said noting also that the university would likely not be open today without state help In a letter to Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee in 2023 Education Secretary Miguel Cardona and U.S Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said the institution had been hurt by “longstanding and ongoing underinvestment” as a public land-grant HBCU inequitable funding gaps led Tennessee State to miss out on $2.1 billion over 30 years Tucker dismissed the idea of suing the state for the $2.1 billion arguing that the legal process could take years — while the university’s financial needs are immediate Legal action could also potentially anger the legislators whose support TSU needs to help provide funding the institution could lose a legal challenge Tucker — the university’s second interim president in less than a year — argued for focusing instead on the state funding gap identified by the Legislature in 2021. That gap amounts to over $540 million Since identifying the amount, Tennessee lawmakers lined up a one-time $250 million sum for the university to invest in infrastructure Tucker said the university could use a portion of those funds to keep it afloat through the first year of a five-year plan TSU and its board are considering financial exigency a restructuring process that allows an institution experiencing budgetary distress to lay off tenured faculty and shut down academic programs In a special meeting of TSU’s board on Jan a consultant with the National Association of College and University Business Officers presented a detailed workshop on how exigency works Tucker said Tuesday that officials were considering exigency but that it wasn’t in the university’s immediate plans Get the free daily newsletter read by industry experts Many leaders of institutions favor behind-the-scenes resistance over protests and op-eds the Council of Independent Colleges’ president writes.  could take on new importance as the traditional-age pipeline weakens The free newsletter covering the top industry headlines Pearson served as the head women's basketball coach at Missouri Baptist University from 2018 to 2023 the Spartans achieved their highest win total since 2010-11 and secured a spot in the NAIA National Tournament with a 24-6 record during the 2022-2023 season Pearson began his collegiate career at SEMO He averaged 8.8 points per game and was the fourth leading scorer on the team After transferring to Missouri Baptist University Pearson led the Spartans in scoring with 16.2 points per game and free-throw percentage at .797 during the 2011-12 season Thanks for visiting NASHVILLE — Tennessee State University is deeply saddened to share the passing of Dr a legendary figure in collegiate and professional basketball and one of our most distinguished alumni Barnett passed away peacefully on April 26 Barnett's basketball journey began at then-Tennessee A&I State College (now TSU) where he led the Tigers to three consecutive NAIA national championships from 1957 to 1959 Barnett's talent earned him three All-America selections and two NAIA Tournament MVP honors Barnett's jersey holds a special place in history as the only jersey ever retired by the university Barnett was selected fourth overall in the 1959 NBA Draft by the Syracuse Nationals He went on to enjoy a 14-year professional career with notable stints playing for the Los Angeles Lakers and the New York Knicks Famous for his signature "Fall Back Baby" jump shot Barnett played a key role in helping the Knicks capture NBA championships in 1970 and 1973 12 jersey was retired by the Knicks in 1990 in recognition of his outstanding contributions He earned a master's degree from New York University and a doctorate in education from Fordham University John's University and founded Fall Back Baby Productions using his platform to inspire future generations through writing Barnett's extraordinary career and lifelong dedication to the game were celebrated with his induction into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Tennessee State University extends its deepest condolences to Dr His legacy will forever be a part of TSU's proud history Thanks for visiting Game Recap: Softball | 5/2/2025 9:00:00 PM NASHVILLE — The Tennessee State Tigers took a 2-1 lead into the sixth inning but could not hang on and fell 5-2 to SEMO on Saturday The Tigers got on the board immediately, starting their scoring with one run in the bottom of the first inning.

In 2023, the U.S. Department of Education notified 16 states that they had collectively underfunded HBCUs by $12 billion in the past 30 years In 2018, the federal government studied how underfunding has led to HBCUs struggling to maintain and improve their infrastructure Seventy of 79 HBCUs surveyed at that time reported that many — if not most — of their buildings needed to be repaired or replaced It’s unclear whether lawmakers will grant TSU’s request this time The money isn’t included in their initial spending plan This month, TSU students joined Crawford, a decorated Navy veteran who was appointed university president less than a year ago when he testified before the Texas House’s higher education committee to request funds to replace the law school building State Rep. Donna Howard, an Austin Democrat who serves as vice chair of the committee, noted a Thurgood Marshall Law School student currently works for her. Another committee member, state Rep. Stan Lambert remarked that seeing the students don the school’s maroon-and-grey colors and fill most of the committee room’s seats sent a “strong statement.” “I’ve been asked many times why did I go from the Armed Forces from being privileged to serve the colors of our nation to Texas Southern and you’re looking at it right now right behind me,” Crawford said of the students The Texas Tribune partners with Open Campus on higher education coverage Disclosure: Texas Southern University - Barbara Jordan-Mickey Leland School of Public Affairs and University of Texas at Austin have been financial supporters of The Texas Tribune, a nonprofit, nonpartisan news organization that is funded in part by donations from members, foundations and corporate sponsors.

participation TSU student highlights included the opportunity to shadow staff members during the Nashville Predators vs volunteer with the Community Resource Center as part of the Nashville Predators Foundation Hearts of Gold initiative and more Offering one-of-a-kind networking opportunities behind-the-scenes tours and insights into the industry the Smashville Seminar has become a highly-sought

the looks on students’ faces when they realize ‘I can do this,’” Interim VP of Academic Affairs at TSU Robbie Melton said “Watching them light up during conversations hearing them talk about what they learned and seeing their excitement about what’s next—that’s what it’s all about This seminar isn’t just about one week or one event—it’s about giving students something they’ll carry with them for the rest of their lives.” It’s no secret the Predators have various initiatives to increase the connection between the team and Music City The Smashville Seminar is an organization-wide partnership

Sport Science department at TSU because their professors are passionate Preds fans who want to share their fandom with students and we have opportunities within the industry to share… As the TSU Tigers continue to grow their own hockey programming on campus it's a natural tie to highlight all that has been built over the years and how students can be involved “We are beyond grateful to the Predators for making this happen,” Melton said “They didn’t just create a seminar—they created an opportunity for students to dream bigger and see what’s possible It means so much to us that they care about investing in the next generation and giving students the tools to succeed You can tell this is more than just a program to them—it’s a way to give back and help shape the future We’re incredibly
