Tennessee State Fails on Terra Strong, Incomplete Grade Irony
Written by HBCU Digest, Posted in Students, Tennessee, Tennessee State University
The Tennessee State Board of Regents cleared Tennessee State University of any wrong doing in its case of mass incomplete grades changed for students against faculty will. TSU, which adamantly defended against any wrongdoing in their change of more than 100 students’ final grades in introductory courses, was vindicated in the Board’s report to a state Senate investigation panel this evening.
Good for Tennessee State, but a remarkable contradiction in the university’s approach with Terra Strong, a TSU senior who was stripped of the title of Miss Tennessee State University, in part, because of an incomplete grade that left her one credit short of the 12-credit semester requirement necessary to run for the position.
