    Thanks again Roland, you are always on it. It's a mess how they're already complaining about students going there and then they don't want to let them use the money to build more dormitories so that they can get more students it's like they trying to shake them down they can't stand to see black people doing nothing well. They are complaining when you're doing well and they complain for what they consider is bad that black people doing. I always thought they didn't want us where they are now they're complaining that we don't want to come where they are you can't have it both ways.

      What!!? This is was an over enrollment issue. Dorms are revenue generating. In other words, they can charge more and save more if they need new dorms. You folks are not paying attention.
      Do you honestly think the government gives money to any entity without stipulations?? They never have in the history of government.

      TSU isn't the first HBCU who had this issue ... this is about race and money. It about race because most HBCU's buy out hotels and turn them into dorms for their students. Some even rent them out. However those hotel are owned by whites who don't want to sell or rent to blacks. The state want to take over TSU so that all the money wont go to an HBCU. This is the only time whites like to use diversity. HBCU needs its own govern body.

      I get what the state rep. was saying the University cannot use state funds on buildings that are revenue generators and that makes sense...but then the issue comes with State Tax breaks for a new NFL stadium for the Titans. I believe democrats in Tennessee should offer an amendment to state any state funds used as a source of revenue generator then residents of Tennessee should see significant price reductions...in everything from housing cost at Universities to football tickets.

There were black bragging about trump gave HBCU 250milwhich averages out to 3-4 mil ... but Biden gave 5 billion which averages out to 70 mil plus grants and other aids. if the state takes the 75 billion it means TSU board has been paid off.

      They charge for dorms! What part of that don't you understand? Like a business, if they need more profit, they can easily bump the price in housing.
      But ALL of this was preventable if they didn't over book housing. You can't go from an average of 1700 new freshmen to 2300 without a damn plan. That's what they did.
      That means the board of directors needs to be fired including the prez. Sorry, but that's common damn sense.

    I am a TSU alumni and for the state to tell the administration that they can't use that money for this and that is ridiculous insane. The state is not on campus and in the dorms everyday to know how deplorable the conditions are. They know that if the living conditions are not suitable, that will cause enrollment to go down and that will fulfill their plan to demolish the HBCU. Why can't TSU sue the state so the TSU administration can decide how to use the funds?

    TN has already taken over TSU. They did it in the late 70's. If the board is chosen by the governor and elected by the legislature, it is chosen by conservative republicans. The same legislature which questioned the president. The Agriculture department got it because the state has already taken over TSU. If the state shorted TSU by half a billion dollars and does not allow them to build dorms, how are they going fix the housing problem? The Ag department caters to the rural white counties in TN.

    I'm a long time TSU supporter. Grew up in Nashville and love the school. However, when my scholar student decided to follow her mom's footsteps at TSU in Fall 21', shit has gotten real. She received a full ride and freshman dorm room. By the time Spring 22' came around and time to submit for housing, priority was given to incoming freshmen, not existing students. My daughter although given a full ride (including housing,) she had no dorm room.
    Basically, someone (the board) decided to take on so many new freshman, there was no available housing for existing students. My daughter then had to enroll for all online classes and stay home last semester.
    Fast forward to Spring 23', she was placed in the same predicament and had to take online classes. At the last minute (January 23',) they finally offered her a place outside of campus at the House of God and something.. forgive me as I forget the name. All I can tell you is it's not in a safe area. I know that from my coming up in Nashville.
    Long story short, the board (in my opinion) over booked incoming freshmen to the point it caused these issues. Why the hell they did that, needs to be investigated.
