The Tennessee House on Thursday voted to vacate the Tennessee State University (TSU) board in its entirety. The Tennessean reports that a $2-million external forensic audit, commissioned by legislators and released on Thursday, found no instances of fraud or malfeasance at the historically Black university in Nashville, though it noted that a 250% increase in scholarships between 2019 and 2023 was not sustainable. Gov. Bill Lee signed the legislation into law on Thursday evening and announced eight new appointees. They include TBA members Terica Smith, Charles Traughber and Dakasha Winton. All new appointees are TSU graduates.
