For weeks now, a campaign has been underway in some white mainstream media to place total blame for the fiscal crisis at Tennessee State University on the former honorable president Dr. Glenda Glover. The mainstream media suddenly has amnesia because it has written for years that Tennessee State University (TSU) has been chronically underfunded and has faced a number of challenges. TSU was underfunded because it was a university with predominantly Black students, and now Tennessee schools that didn’t want Black students all these years now want them because of Federal Funding. Black and white students still want the TSU experience, and so admitting an influx of new students of all races played a major role which exacerbated the problem.
