  • 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.
