TSU Faculty Handbook and in the Department's Supplementary Criteria for Tenure and Promotion TENNESSEE STATE UNIVERSITY FACULTY HANDBOOK TABLE OF CONTENTS PREAMBLE The Faculty Handbook embodies the essential elements of the employment relationship between the Faculty, individually and collectively, and Tennessee State University (TSU). It establishes the terms of employment, the manner of appointment, the procedures and standards for tenure and promotion, the duties and privileges of Faculty, the procedures and standards for termination of employment, and Faculty related policies and procedures of the University and the Tennessee Board of Regents (TBR). It describes Faculty organization and confirms the authority of the Faculty to participate in the governance of the University, especially in regard to academic matters. The Faculty Handbook is a guide that does not replace the force of an employment contract. Amendments to The Faculty Handbook are presented for the consideration and approval of the Faculty and the Administration before submission to TBR. The Faculty Handbook Committee will update the Handbook as changes occur. Faculty must observe University publications that are pertinent to their teaching, research, advising, and administrative assignments. The following publications are especially important with electronic links located in Section IX & X of this Handbook as well as the left Nav bar of this website: ACADEMIC CALENDAR GRADUATE FACULTY HANDBOOK GRADUATE ASSISTANT HANDBOOK HUMAN RESOURCES PERSONNEL HANDBOOK RESEARCH & SPONSORED PROGRAMS (RSP) STUDENT SUCCESS ADVISEMENT CENTER MANUAL TENNESSEE BOARD OF REGENTS POLICIES AND GUIDELINES THE UNDERGRADUATE CATALOG THE GRADUATE CATALOG THE STUDENT HANDBOOK p. 1 July.30.2015 *THIS IS DRAFT.v.5 and is a work in progress. Changes will occur with additional reviews. SECTION I HISTORY AND MISSION OF THE UNIVERSITY HISTORY: http://www.tnstate.edu/about_tsu/history.aspx Founded in 1912, Tennessee State University (TSU) is a comprehensive, urban, coeducational, land-grant institution. Our Nashville home offers two locations—the 500-acre main campus nestles in a beautiful residential neighborhood along the Cumberland River, and the downtown Avon Williams campus sits near the center of Nashville’s business and government district. AGRICULTURAL AND INDUSTRIAL NORMAL SCHOOL In 1909, the Tennessee State General Assembly created three normal schools, including the Agricultural and Industrial Normal School, which would grow to become TSU. The first 247 students began their academic careers on June 19, 1912, and William Jasper Hale served as head of the school. Students, faculty, and staff worked together as a family to keep the institution operating, whether the activity demanded clearing rocks, harvesting crops, or carrying chairs from class to class. AGRICULTURAL AND INDUSTRIAL STATE NORMAL SCHOOL The school gained the capacity to grant bachelor’s degrees in 1922, reflecting its new status as a four-year teachers’ college. By 1924, the college became known as the Agricultural and Industrial State Normal College and the first degrees were awarded. In 1927, “Normal” was dropped from the name. Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, the college grew in scope and stature under the charge “Enter to learn; go forth to serve.” When President Hale retired in 1943 after more than 30 years of service, one of the institution’s growing roster of impressive alumni, Walter S. Davis, was selected as his successor. Until his retirement in 1968, Davis led the college through an era of tremendous growth in academics and facilities that led to worldwide recognition. The Tennessee General Assembly of 1941 authorized a substantial upgrade to the educational program of the college. Graduate studies leading to the master’s degree, initially offered in several branches of teacher education, were established. The first master’s degrees were awarded in June 1944. SACS ACCREDITATION The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools granted accreditation to TSU in 1946. In August 1951, the Tennessee State Board of Education approved university status. The resulting reorganization of the institution’s educational program created the Graduate School, the School p. 2 July.30.2015 of Arts & Sciences, the School of Education, and the School of Engineering. Provisions were also made for the later addition of other schools in agriculture, business, and home economics. LAND-GRANT UNIVERSITY STATUS Under the name Tennessee Agricultural & Industrial State University, the institution achieved full land-grant university status in August 1958. The Land-Grant University Program included the School of Agriculture & Home Economics, the Graduate School, the Division of Extension and Continuing Education, and the Department of Aerospace Studies. The School of Allied Health Professions and the School of Business were created in 1974, and the School of Nursing was established in 1979. NAME CHANGE: TENNESSEE STATE UNIVERSITY After Walter Davis retired as president in 1968, another TSU alumnus, Andrew Torrence, was named the University’s third president. During his relatively brief tenure, the state legislature dropped “Agricultural & Industrial” and officially changed the name to Tennessee State University. MERGER WITH UT OF NASHVILLE When Frederick Humphries became TSU’s president in 1975, Nashville was also home to a second public four-year university. The Knoxville-based University of Tennessee began offering extension credit in Nashville in 1947 and expanded its programs throughout the 1960s. By 1971, it was accredited as a degree-granting institution that occupied new quarters at the corner of Tenth and Charlotte Avenues. But in 1968, TSU faculty member Rita Sanders filed a lawsuit, which became known as Geier v. Tennessee, alleging a dual system of higher education in Tennessee based on race. On July 1, 1979, the case was settled by a court order merging the former University of Tennessee at Nashville with TSU. As president, Humphries was the first to face the challenge of maintaining the balance between TSU’s role as one of America’s preeminent historically black universities and its emerging status as a comprehensive national university. The Geier v. Tennessee case, however, remained alive for 32 years. Rita Sanders Geier was joined by the U.S. Department of Justice and by TSU professors Ray Richardson and H. Coleman McGinnis as co-plaintiffs in the suit. After numerous court-ordered plans failed to produce progress, all parties achieved a mediated consent decree that was ordered by the court on January 4, 2001. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS AND PROGRESS Following a year as interim president, Otis Floyd became TSU’s fifth chief executive in 1987 and continued moving the university forward, initiating efforts that resulted in the state general p. 3 July.30.2015 assembly providing an unprecedented $112 million for capital improvements in 1988. Under this plan, nearly all campus buildings were renovated and eight new facilities were constructed, including the Floyd-Payne Campus Center, the Ned McWherter Administration Building, the Wilma Rudolph Residence Center, and the Performing Arts Center. Then, in 1990, the Tennessee Board of Regents appointed Dr. Floyd its chancellor, opening the way for James Hefner to become TSU’s sixth president in 1991. Hefner supervised additional improvements to campus facilities and fostered enrollment growth to an all-time high of 9,100 students. The Otis Floyd Nursery Crops Research Station in McMinnville was dedicated in 1996, and, in 1999, researchers at the TSU Center for Automated Space Science were the first to discover a planet outside our solar system. Melvin N. Johnson became the university’s seventh president in June of 2005, and was instrumental in continuing to bring national attention to the university by recognizing the Freedom Riders 14, engaging the university in the Tennessee Campus Compact, receiving national awards for community service and engagement, awarded $8 million for Race to the Top Funds by President Obama, opening the university’s doors to flood victims and businesses, and obtaining Community Engagement Classification by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. In the University’s 100-year history, Dr. Glenda Baskin Glover became president in January 2013 and continues making changes to further emphasize the excellence for which TSU is known worldwide. CURRENT OFFERINGS Academic Programs: http://www.tnstate.edu/academic_programs/ Today, Tennessee State University offers 45 bachelor’s degree programs and 24 master’s programs and awards doctoral degrees in biological sciences, computer information systems engineering, psychology, public administration, curriculum and instruction, educational administration and supervision, and physical therapy.

  • Career Mobility of Black and White Upper Level
    CAREER MOBILITY OF BLACK AND WHITE UPPER LEVEL ADMINISTRATORS IN A PREDOMINANTLY WHITE INSTITUTION OF HIGHER EDUCATION: A CASE STUDY by CARLTON R. MCHARGH A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Educational Leadership, Policy, and Technology Studies in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2010 Copyright Carlton R. McHargh 2010 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Today, more than half a century after Brown v. Board of Education, many institutions of higher education, particularly predominantly white institutions (PWIs) are still grappling with issues related to increasing diversity. And while many Institutions of higher education (IHE) now boast large numbers of students from diverse backgrounds, the same cannot be said of the diversity of upper level administrators particularly within PWIs. However, what research has shown is that most IHEs desire and value diversity. However, the means of achieving diversity are many, varied and contested. This study attempted to add to the body of existing literature on diversity within PWIs by drawing upon narratives of Black and White upper level administrators on issues of hiring and career mobility. By contrasting the careers of Black and White upper level administrators within one PWI in the southern United States, this study explored through their narratives what those narratives tell us about the impact of race on the processes of recruiting, hiring, promoting, and retaining upper level administrators within the PWI. NVIVO 7 was used to code and organize the interviews. The interpretation of the findings was framed and viewed through the lens of Critical Race Theory (CRT).

  • 1.1. Description of History
    Technical Memorandum Date October 2008 Project Tennessee State University Campus Master Plan Subject 1. History of the University 1.1 Description of History From BKV Group, Inc To Tennessee State University This is a brief history of Tennessee State University as gathered by the planning team. The objective of this work element is for the planning team and campus community to gain an understanding of TSU’s history, documenting key events that have shaped the educational and physical form of the campus as well as identifying those forces which are likely to influence its future. 1. HISTORY OF TENNESSEE STATE UNIVERSITY Tennessee State University, founded in 1912, is a comprehensive, urban, coeducational, land-grant university located in Nashville, Tennessee. Through successive stages of growth and change during its nearly 100-year history, TSU has developed from a small normal school for Negroes to a 4 year university graduating degrees at all levels. The process of educating teachers was based on developing “norms” or standards, hence the name Normal School. With such humble beginnings and a small student body, TSU has grown to become one of the nation’s most highly respected Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) as well as a national university attracting students from 42 states and 45 countries. To its credit, TSU has accomplished this transition without losing focus on its primary mission; that being an “access” school for Tennessee’s financially challenged students; many of whom have few alternatives when seeking to gain a collegiate education. Although TSU was, until recently, considered by many students the campus of “last resort”, its recognition as a nationally ranked university and reputation for quality curriculum delivery has allowed TSU to claim it is now a campus of “first choice”.

Thank you very much for meeting with me, sir. Why don’t we start off with asking when and where you were born. B: I was born here. H: You’re a long-time Nashville citizen. B: Long-time. I can look out my window, before they built that football stadium, see where I was raised, right across the river. H: Did you go to school locally in Nashville? B: I went to parochial schools. I went to Holy Name and Father Ryan High School. Then, I went into the service for three years and got out and went to Springfield College, which is a Jesuit school in Mobile, Alabama. Then, I went to Oxford for a year and then I worked for Estes Kefauver [Tennessee senator] for a year, and then I went to law school. H: Where did you go to law school? B: I went to Vanderbilt. Yeah, I was in the service three years between high school and college. H: When did you finish up at Vanderbilt? B: 1957. H: If you would, describe Nashville in the 1950s at this time? B: It was called the brother-in-law town, if you didn’t have a brother-in-law, you wouldn’t get very far. It was small. It was mainly white Anglo-Saxon Protestant. If you were Irish, you’d tell people when they got through throwing rocks at African Americans and they’d throw them at us.

Home Contact Form Test Advertise With Us UT Alumni Association Tell Us What You Think Feature UTopics Spotlight Association News Blog Research To Do the Right Thing Feature — 01 April 2007 Fall 2006 commencement at UT Knoxville seemed a fitting homecoming for civil rights pioneer Rita Sanders Geier. Thirty-eight years after filing suit against the state of Tennessee to desegregate its higher-education system and just 3 months after the end of the protracted legal battle, Geier delivered her message of hope and perseverance to more than a thousand graduates. Being the commencement speaker was a special honor to her–an ironic ending to a long contest in 1 of 7 07/29/2015 04:14 PM To Do the Right Thing | Tennessee Alumnus Magazine http://alumnus.tennessee.edu/2007/04/to-do-the-r... which the university was sometimes an adversary. “It is not as big a surprise as many may think because it is the culmination of a relationship that was born in contention decades ago, but that has grown into mutual respect, shared vision, and accomplishment,” she said. It was UT’s announcement of its plans for a Nashville campus that prompted Geier, then just 23 years old, to challenge the action in U.S. District Court. She claimed a full-fledged UT campus would divert state resources from Tennessee State University in Nashville and force it to remain “a second-rate college designed to service only African Americans despite the end of legal segregation in higher education.
