The TBR system enrolls more than 80 percent of all Tennessee students attending public institutions of higher education. East Tennessee State University is fully in accord with the belief that educational and employment opportunities should be available to all eligible persons without regard to age, gender, color, race, religion, national origin, disability, veteran status, or sexual orientation.
