Proposed Findings of Fact of Plaintiffs-
Intervenors)
Al
D. Defendants' Desegregation
Proposals Prior to July, 1974
94. in August, 1968, this Court found that there were seme
57,000 students attending Tennessee public institutions of
higher education of which approximately 6,000 or about 11% were
black. The traditionally white institutions had black enrollments
at that time from .06% to 7%. The 7% black enrollment at Memphis
State University was far above the average of any other such
institution. Tennessee State University (then Tennessee A & I
State University) remained overwhelmingly black at about 99%.
This segregated pattern of enrollments, among other things,
convinced this Court that "the dual system of education created
originally by law ha[d] not been effectively dismantled" in
Tennessee. Sanders v, Ellington, 288 F.Supp. 937, 940 (M.D. Tenn.
1968).
95. Defendants submitted a desegregation plan on April 1,
1969 which "placed heavy emphasis upon the various institutions...
to increase minority group enrollment." The plan also contained
a commitment to develop interinstitutional programs among
Nashville area state universities in order to achieve meaningful
desegregation. This Court determined that this plan could not
be approved or disapproved in light of its lack of specificity.
Geier v. Dunn. 337 F.Supp. 573, 574-75 (M.D. Tenn. 1972).
96. Defendants submitted a report on April 1, 1970 on the
progress of desegregation proposals contained in the April, 1969
submission. That report indicated that the number of black
students enrolled in public institutions of higher education
excluding TSU in the state had increased 42.2% between 1968-69
and 1969-70 or from 2,720 to 3,869. In terms of attracting
black faculty to predominantly white institutions, the report
revealed that there was an increase of only 0.5% between 1968-69
23
A2
and 1969-70. Insofar as cooperative programs among Nashville
area institutions were concerned, defendants stated that nine
faculty members (7 from TSU and 2 from UTN) had participated in
an exchange program and that no agreement had been reached for
a joint TSU-UTN engineering program. Geier, supra, at 575.
97. In 1969-70, 3,869 black students were enrolled in
traditionally white state colleges and universities out of a
total enrollment of 88,275. Thus blacks constituted only 4.6%
of total enrollment (PI. Int. Ex. #27). In the traditionally
white Regents institutions there were 2,354 black students or
5.4% of total enrollments. In the community colleges, blacks
constituted 7.4% of total enrollment (398 black students).
In the University of Tennessee system, there were 1,1117 black
students or 3.2% of total enrollment, TSU was 99% black (Def.
Ex- #10 "Progress Report" at 134).
98- In 1969-70 there were 278.3 full-time equivalent black
faculty members out of a total of 4,488; there were 20.5 blacks
out of 2,033 total FTE faculty in the University of Tennessee
System.__This constituted a 1.01% black faculty presence. (ut
System Response to Supplemental Interrogatories of Richardson
Intervenors, June 13, 1974 at 8, hereafter "UT 1974 Response".)
The State Board of Regents System indicated that there were 257.8
FTE black faculty members out of a total FTE faculty of 2455.9.
However, the number of black faculty at Board of Regents
Universities.was as follows:
Austin Peay - 2
East Tennessee State - 0
Memphis State - 8
Middle Tennessee State - 3.3
Tennessee State - 240
Tennessee Tech - 0
24
A3
Thase figures make clear, therefore, that most of the black
FT2 faculty were at Tennessee State (3oard of Regents Response
to supplemental Interrogatories of Richardson Interveners, June
13, 1974 at 40-46, hereafter SBR 1974 Response").
99. In 1969, there was not one black administrator in the
State Board of Regents’ traditionally-white Universities or
Community Colleges. In the University of Tennessee System, there
were 16 black administrators out of 646 or 2.5% (Def. Ex. #10
"Progress Report” at 142, hereafter "Progress Report").
100. There were no blacks out of 96 administrative staff
members employed by the University of Tennessee and the Higher
Education Commission (Progress Report, at 144).
101. Defendants filed a progress report on June 14, 1971
which described efforts of the individual campuses to achieve
greater desegregation. It revealed that a joint engineering
program between TSU and UTN had been arranged and that an elective
cooperative program in the Specialist in Education Degree program
involving Middle Tennessee State, Tennessee State and University
of Tennessee at Nashville had been developed. Some duplication
between UTN and TSU in nursing program offerings was also reflected
in the report. Id.
.102. During the 1970-71 academic year, there were 4,659 black
students enrolled in traditionally white public institutions of
higher education or 5.2% of total enrollments in such institutions,
This represented an increase of 790 students over 1969-70. In
State Board of Regents Universities, black enrollment was 2,732
students or 5.9% of the total. This represented an increased
black enrollment of 378 over the 1969-70 figures? 229 students
of this increase were enrolled at Memphis State University. Com
munity college black enrollment increased by 209 students over
25
A4
1969-70 figures; hence blacks constituted 9.3% of total enroll
ment. Institutions in the University of Tennessee System had
1,320 black students or 3.6% of total enrollment. This repre
sented an increase of 203 students over 1969-70 figures. TSU
was 98% black (Progress Report at 134).
103. During the 1970-71 academic year there were 277.6 FTE
black faculty members out of a total of 4765,1, a decrease of
.7 FTE black faculty from 1969-70 figures. White FTE faculty
increased during that time by 276.9. In the Regents institutions
there were 250.5 black faculty, a decrease of 7.3 from 1969-70;
black FTE faculty constituted 9.76% of total FTE faculty. White
FTE faculty increased by 144.5. The number of FTE black
faculty at Regents institutions, excluding TSU, totalled 21.5
(14 in the senior institutions and 7.5 in the community
colleges); at TSU the figure was 229.0 (Regents 1974 Response
at 38-56). The FTE black faculty at UT institutions totalled
27.1, an increase of 6.6 over 1969-70 figures; blacks
constituted 1.23% of the FTE faculty total. White FTE faculty
increased during that period by 159 over 1969-70 figures
(UT 1974 Response at 8).
104. No figures appear to be available for 1970-71 with
respect to the number of black administrators in traditionally-
white public institutions of higher education (Progress Report
at 142; UT 1974 Response at 8; SBR 1974 Response at 38).
Hence, it is impossible to determine whether black presence in
administrative ranks increased or decreased over the 1969-70
total of 16.
105. No figures appear to be available on black presence on
the administrative staffs of the governing boards during 1970-71
(Progress Report, at 144). Hence, it is impossible to determine
whether the 1969-70 total absence of black administrators changed
in any way.
26
A5
106. During the 1971-72 academic year, there were 5,597 black
students enrolled in traditionally-white public institutions of
higher education or 5.8% of total enrollment. This black enroll
ment constituted an increase of 938 students over 1970-71
figures. In the Board of Regents Universitites, excluding TSU,
there were 3,150 black students or 6.7% of total enrollment;
2,441 of these students or 77% were enrolled at Memphis State
University. The 3,150 black total represented am increase of
418 over 1970-71 figures. In the community colleges, there
were 800 black students or 9.3% of the total. And in the
University of Tennessee System there were 1,647 black students
or 4.1% of total enrollment. This figure was 327 students over
1970-71 totals. TSU was 97.7 black (Progress Report at 134).
107. In 1971-72 there were 282.9 FTE black faculty out of a
5172.4. In the University of Tennessee System there were 30.1
FTE black faculty or 1.32% of the total. This represented am
increase of 3 FTE black faculty over 1970-71 figures; white
faculty increased by 84.2 FTE (UT 1974 Response at 8). In the
Regents Institutions, there were 252.8 FTE black faculty, or
8.76%, out of a 2633.8 total. From .1969-T--7Q .tQ-i9.7L-.J2— the___
percentage of FTE black faculty decreased from 10.50 to 8.76 or
1.74%. The FTE black faculty of non-TSU Regents institutions
was 30.8 (24.6 in the senior institutions of which 17.3 were at
Memphis State; and 6.2 at the community colleges). FTE black
faculty at TSU was 222.0. The 30.8 black faculty at non-TSU
institutions represented an increase of 10.3 over 1970-71
figures, 9.3 of which occurred at Memphis State University
(SBR 1974 Response at 38-56).
27
108• In 1971-72 there were 24 black administrators at tradition-
ally-white institutions or 2.3% of the total. In the Board of
Regents, universities there.was one black or 0.3%; in .the community
.colleges there was. one jblack or 1.3%; ‘and in the University of !
Tennessee system there were 22 or 3.3% of the total (Progress
Report at 142).
109. in 1971-72 there were two blacks employed'by the UT
Central Administration out of 154 or 1.3%. THEC had no black
staff members (Progress Report at 144).
In January, 1972, this Court concluded "that, with the110.
exception of TSU, defendants are proceeding to dismantle their
dual system of higher education, taken as a state-wide whole,
at a constitutionally-permissible rate of speed." Geier, supra,
at 58C. It required, consequently, a plan for further desegrega
tion of TSU.
111. Defendants submitted in March, 1972, pursuant to Court'
order, a plan for further desegregation of TSU in terms of both
faculty and student body. That plan set forth essentially the
following steps:
a. Tennessee State University would employ white faculty to fill all vacancies, insofar as was practical to do so;
b. TSU.and other Middle Tennessee institutions
would implement a faculty exchange program in the fall of 1972;
c. Ten new non-black faculty would be added by
TSU in areas where a strengthened faculty would be most likely to attract white students;
d. Implementation of Financial Aid Frogram to
increase enrollment of non-blacks at TSU;
e. Expanded recruitment program for non-black
students at the Tennessee State University campus;
f. Improving the physical appearance of the TSU campus; and
28
A7
g. All scheduled classes for the Nashville
portion of the University of Tennessee
School of Social Work would he taught
on the TSU camous beginning in the fall
of 1972.
112. On July 31, 1972 the defendants submitted a progress
report on the March, 1972 plan for increasing white presence at
TSU. The report indicated as follows:
a. Employment of white faculty at TSU to fill all vacancies:
1) TSU would hire white faculty whenever possible;
nineteen vacancies were available; TSU had em
ployed seven whites, was negotiating with two
whites and one black and intended to keep nine
vacancies unfilled for financial reasons. Policy
would have less effect than initially expected.
2) TSU faculty expressed its disagreement with this
proposal on the ground that, despite its having
the most integrated faculty of any public insti
tution in the State, it was being singled out for
purposes of further desegregation. Implementation
of the plan would, in their view, displace blacks
who would not be able to find jobs in tradition- • ally white institutions.
b. Faculty exchange program among Middle Tennessee
institutions:
1) Only a small number of TSU's and other institu
tions ' faculty volunteered to participate in the exchange.
2) Eighteen faculty members (3̂ FTE) were definitely
scheduled to participate.
c. Ten new white faculty members for TSU:
1) $150,000 for this purpose granted by United States Department of HEW;
2) Six white faculty already recruited and three others being considered.
d. Financial Aid Program for non-black students at TSU:
1) An additional $200,000 provided by 1972 General Assembly;
2) $400,000 total to TSU to be used in program emphasizing recruitment of white students.
e. Expanded recruitment of white students for TSU:
1) White recruiter hired;
2) Recruitment efforts directed to high schools, community colleges and adult groups.
29
A8
f. Improving physical appearance of TSU campus:
1) $2,195,000 approved by 1972 General Assembly;
2) $300,000 earmarked for School of Social Work;
3) No possibility of completing imorovements bv fall, 1972.
g. Moving School of Social Work to TSU:
1) Not possible for fall, 1974;
2) Classes to be held at TSU in fall, 1972 however.
113. Defendants Response to Original Plaintiffs' Interrogato
ries in August, 1972 reveal the following facts about the finan
cing and administration of defendants'March, 1972 plan:
a. No special financing was made available to hire
white faculty to fill vacancies at TSU; funds for
this purpose were to come from TSU's regularly budgeted funds (Response #3);
b. Faculty exchange arrangements among Middle Tennesseeinstitutions envisioned that:. ......~
1) Each institution would pay the salaries of its faculty participating in the exchange;
2) TSU would pay the travel costs and relocation
allowances for exchange faculty out of a 1972-73
grant from the United States Office of Education
under aid for developing institutions program funds.(Response #4).
c. Ten new white faculty were scheduled to be hired to
teach in specialized areas but: "As the budget
developed, it was discovered that cur capacity to hire faculty of any race would be severely limited. We
were hardly able to replace faculty who retired"(Response #7).
d. The additional $200,000 in student aid for Tennessee
State was part of the 1972 annual appropriation to
TSU not earmarked as such for purposes of recruiting white students.(Response #12). In fact, TSU's total
appropriation for 1972-73 was only $354,000 more than
it received in 1971-72. Out of this $354,000, the
additional $200,000 for expanded scholarships was to come, leaving TSU with only a $154,000 or 2*. 1%
increase to meet rising costs with respect to other
functions of the University. It was the understanding of TSU's President that the $200,000 for additional
scholarships would have been above and beyond its
_ 1972-73 general appropriation (Torrence Letter, May29, 1972 - Appendix to July, 1972 Report).
e. The reception of TSU's white recruiter on high school
30
A9
campuses varied from "warm to cool." "Some high
school counselors summoned students while a faw
others insisted that no one was interested in Tennes
see State University and, therefore, refused to grant
him an audience with students." His duties involved
recruiting of ooth black and white students (Torrence Letter, suara).
f. The transfer of the School of Social Work to TSU's
campus would bring no financial benefits to TSU
since student fees would continue to go to the University of Tennessee (Response #19).
114. Defendants answers to interrogatories in August, 1972
also indicated that students from UTN had participated in course
offacings at TSU but TSU students had not participated in course
Q^^e î̂ 9TS UTN under the Joint Bachelor of Science in Engineer
ing Program between the two institutions (Response #10).
115. This Court directed defendants to report by August 1,
1972 concerning additional methods for achieving greater desegre
gation at TSU including inter alia consolidation of UTN and TSU
into a single institution, Geier, surra, at 581-82). In their
July 31, 1972 report, the defendants indicated as follows:
In an effort to comply with the directive
of the Court the defendants have conducted
numerous conferences amonli\ themselves and with other interested parties and now report to the Court that the parties are
not in agreement as to how the objectives
the Court has established can be effected.
The State Board of Regents did not submit a plan, citing its
recent creation as a governing body.
116. The Tennessee Higher Education Commission did submit
on July 31, 1972 a."Report on Steps Needed to Desegregate Public
Higher Education in Tennessee" in response to Court directive.
It made the following proposals:
Tennessee State must revise its priorities away from programs designed to serve a disadvantaged student body to ones that will project an image
of a quality institution. This can be done by
raising admissions standards and strengthening its faculty. Such changes will attract white students;
31
A10
b. The competition for students from the other
public institutions in the Nashville Metropolitan area, primarily from UTN, must be reduced
if TSU is to have any success in attracting
whites, since "the only successful large scale
desegregation of formerly black institutions has come by attracting adult, largely part-
time commuting students, mostly enrolling in evening classes." Competition can be reduced by the program allocations below:
1) All teacher education programs, graduate
and undergraduate, in Metropolitan Nash
ville should be concentrated at TSU bv the fall of 1973;
2) All public institutions in the State ex
cept TSU should terminate any education
courses offered off campus in Davidson
County or any of the counties immediatelv adjacent to Davidson;
3) A joint TSU—UTN program in professional education;
4) A joint program between TSU and Middle
Tennessee State (MTSU) in law enforcement
and corrections by fall, 1973;
5) All graduate work at TSU in Agriculture
should be phased.out by fall, 1973;.
6) A joint program in 3usiness Education
between MTSU and TSU should be continued;
7) A consortium of Volunteer State Community College, the Nashville State Technical
Institute and TSU to provide community— .... eo-Tlege—cougses-.----------- --------• •
THEC did not regard a merger of UTN and TSU as feasible at that
time.
117. Tennessee State University also submitted on July 31;
1972 a response to the Court's demand for proposals to achieve
meaningful desegregation at its institution. In its response,
TSU observed that it could not expect to survive unless both
black and white students were enrolled. It suggested that the
most likely source of white students for Tennessee State was
the adult commuters in the Nashville area, a group UTN was
designed to serve. An integrated enrollment at TSU could be
obtained by:
32
All
a. A merger of UTN and TSU into a single institution;
b. Assignment of certain unique programs to TSU
that would have "metropolitan area-wide attraction";
c. Further development of cooperative programs between TSU and UTN.
118. During the 1972-73 academic year, there were 6,637 black
students in non-TSU institutions of higher education or 6.7% of
total enrollment. This represented an increase of 1040 students
over 1971-72 figures. In the Regents universities, exclusive of
TSU, there were 3,369 black students or 6.5% of total enrollment;
2,441 of this enrollment were at Memphis State. Black student
enrollment increased over 1971-72 figures by 219 students, 132 of
whom enrolled at MSU. In the community colleges, black enroll
ment was 1,437 or 13.4% of the total. This represented an in
crease of 637 over 1971-72 enrollments. Since newly-opened
Shelby State contributed 640 black students to the 1972-73 totals,
the net increase of only 637 was caused by decreases in black
enrollments at Cleveland, Columbia, Jackson and Motlow. In the
University of Tennessee System, black student enrollment was
1,831 or 4.5%, up 184 over 1971-72. TSU's enrollment was 95.7%
black. (Progress Report at 134).
119. In 1972-73 there were 305.5 FTE black faculty out of a
total of 5476.8. This represented an increase in FTE black
faculty.of 22.5 over 1971-72 levels; FTE white faculty increased
by 281.9. In the Regents system, FTE-black faculty was 266.1 or
8.50% of the total, a percentage decline of .26 from 1971-72.
This represented an increase of 13.3 over 1971-72 FTE black
faculty; FTE white faculty increased by 229.9. Of the 266.1
FTE black faculty, 215.6 were at TSU, 21.9 were at Memphis State
and 9.3 were at Shelby State. Hence, the other SBR's three
universities and 9 community colleges had a total of only 19.3
FTE black faculty (SBR 1974 Response at 38-56). In the UT System
33
A12
there were 34.3 FT2 black faculty or 5.57% of the total. This
represented an increase of 4.2 FTE over 1971-72 figures? FT2
white faculty increased by 115 (UT 1974 Response at 8).
120. No figures appear to be available on black presence at
the administrative level in non-TSU institutions during 1972-73
(Progress Report at 142; SBR 1974 Report at 38; UT 1974 Response
at 8).
121. No figures appear to be available on black presence on
the administrative boards for 1972-73 (Progress Report at 144).
122. On February 14, 1974, defendants submitted a progress
report on the implementation of the seven-step proposal submitted
to the Court on July 31, 1972. That report indicated as follows:
a. Employment of white faculty to fill all vacancies filled by whites;
1) Fall, 1972- 15 of 27 full-time vacancies filled by whites;
2) Fall, 1973- 19 of 37 full-time vacancies filled by whites;
3) Fall, 1973- 35.8% white faculty at TSU;
2.1% black faculty at predominantlywhite institutions. _____
b. Faculty exchanges between TSU on the one hand,
and other Middle Tennessee institutions, on the other:
1) 20-25 exchanges proposed in July, 1972;
2) 18 exchanges during fall, 1972 for which TSU paid total expense out of federal funds;
3) No exchanges in 1973-74 because TSU received less federal funding for such purposes;
4) Prospects for 1974-75 were not good.
c. Ten new non-black faculty at TSU:
1) Eight white faculty employed in fall, 1972
with TSU federal funds;
2) Five new and two continuing in fall, 1973 paid with TSU federal funds.
34
A13
3) No exchanges in 1973-74 because TSU
received less federal funding for such purposes;
4) Prospects for 1974-75 were not good.
d. Implementation of financial aid program to
increase TSU non-black enrollments;
1) $65,194 awarded to 67 white students in fall, 1972;
2) $68,790 awarded to 95 white students in fall, 1973.
e. Recruitment efforts to attract whites;
1) Increase in percentage of white enrolled
from 2.3 to 6.9 between 1971 and 1973;
2) Increase in non-black freshmen percentage from 1.2 to 7.1 between 1971 and 1973.
f. Improving physical appearance of TSU campus;
landscaping and paving projects underway.
g. Moving of UT School of Social Work to TSUcampus;
1) Classes held at TSU in fall, 1972;
2) Completion of move by March, 1974.
123. The February, 1974 progress report gave details on the
following "other developments directly involving TSU":
— ----- . a..— »UTN—TSU Joint General Engineering Program
1) Two-year trial period ended June, 1973;
2) Success was limited.
b. TSU and MTSU Joint Masters' Degree Program in
Business Education
1) Started in fall, 1972;
2) More than 20 students enrolled in fall, 1973.
c. UTN-TSU joint responsibility for upper
division and graduate educational centers planned for
1) Volunteer State Community College;
2) Columbia State Community College.

1-24. During the 1973-74 academic year there were 8,033 black
students in non-TSU public institutions or 7.1% of total enroll
ment. This represented an increase of 1396 over 1972-73 black
enrollment. In the Regents universities, exclusive of TSU, there
were 3,446 black students or 6.8% of total enrollment. In these
institutions, black enrollment increased by 77 over 1972-73
figures. Memphis State University accounted for about 65% of
the total non-TSU Regents university black enrollment (2,265 out
of 3,446). In the community colleges, there 2,387 black students
or 16.0% of total enrollments. Black enrollment in community
colleges increased by 950 students between 1972-73 and 1973-74.
736 stud.ents out of this 950 increase were enrolled at Shelby
State Community College. In the UT System, black enrollment was
2,200 or 5.1% of the total figures, an increase of 369 students
from 1972-73. Tennessee State's black enrollment was 93.1%
(Progress Report at 134).*
125. During 1973-74, there were 305.1 FTE black faculty out
of 5,878.4. This represented an increase of 9.7 FTE black
faculty over 1972-73 figures. The increase in FTE white faculty
was 391.9. In the Regents institutions, there were 267.1 FTE
black faculty or 8.14%, an increase of 1 FTE over 1972-73 but a
percentage decrease of .36%. FTE white faculty increased 150.2.
In non-TSU Regents institutions there were 68.9 FTE black faculty;
21.9 of this number were at Memphis State and 19.5 were at
Shelby State Community College. None of the other Regents
The 1971, 1972 and 1973 black enrollment figures for East
Tennessee State, Memphis State, Columbia, Jackson, Shelby and
Walters Community Colleges, University of Tennessee at Knoxville,
Martin and Nashville include some enrolees who did not" designate race. Moreover, figures for 1971 on black enrollments at Memphis State and University of Tennessee at Knoxville do not contain
Joint University Center students; the 1973 figures for these
two institutions do count JUC students. The fact that enrollment
figures for these years are consequently inaccurate in part is
made clear in the February, 1974 Progress Report, Table I, but
not in the February, 1976 Progress Report at 134.
36
institutions had more than 6 FTE black faculty. In the University
of Tennessee system, there were 48.6 FTE black faculty or 5.37%
of the total. This constituted an increase of 14.3 FTE black
faculty over 1972-73 figures but a percentage decrease of .20%.
FTE white faculty increased by 178.7 (UT Response at 38-56).
126. In 1973-74, there were 51 black administrators in
non-TSU institutions or 3.9% of the total. There were 8 in the
Regents universities, excluding TSU, or 2.0% and 6 at the commu
nity level or 4.7%. The University of Tennessee system had 37
black administrators or 4.7% of the total (Progress Report at
142).*
127. During 1973-74 there were 2 blacks on the staffs of the
governing boards; all were hired by the University of Tennessee.
These two constituted 1.3% of UT total administrative staff and
1.2% of staff totals for all boards (Progress Report at 144).
128. In April, 1974, the defendants State Board of Regents
and the Tennessee Higher Education Commission filed an "Interim
Plan" with the Court. In a joint introductory statement these
defendants pointed out that:
a. Additional steps to increase white enrollment
in the fall of 1974 at TSU and black enrollment
at UT Nashville could not be agreed upon by the
two boards governing these institutions;
b. No steps had been taken to implement July,1972
THEC suggestions for exclusive program allo
cations between UTN and TSU because of dis
agreement with such an approach by the two institutions.
c. SBR and THEC believed that allocation of
Al5
The fact that Regents institutions showed only 14 black
administrators, excluding TSU, out of a total of 536 while UT
institutions showed 37 out of 783 may be explained by SBR's in
cluding of only four types of functions in the administrative,
category (Progress Report at 162)while UT includes thirty-thrle
jobs in the same category (Progress Report at 168).
- 37 -
A16
programs among Nashville area institutions
was a necessary step to continue the in
crease of white enrollment at TSU (PI. Int.Ex. #28).
129. In its submission to the Court in April, the State Board
of Regents indicated as follows:
a. Responsibility for affirmative action and
equal employment program development left
with presidents of constituent institutions;
b. Student credit enrollment projections for 1974-75:
1) Increase in black enrollments in universities,
exclusive of TSU, of 504 students;
2) Increase in white enrollment at TSU of 25;
3) Increase in black enrollments in community
colleges of 311, 150 at Shelby State.
c. Student non-credit enrollment projections for
1974-75:
1) Increase in black enrollments in universities,
exclusing TSU, of 294;
•2) Increase in white enrollments at TSU of 210;
3) Increase in black enrollments at community
colleges of 154.
d. Faculty Hiring Projections for 1974-75:
1) Hire blacks to 11 of the 56'faculty vacancies
in universities exclusive of TSU;
2) Hire whites to 4 of the nine faculty
vacancies at TSU;
3) Hire whites to 24 of the 48 faculty vacancies in community colleges, including 12
out of 24 vacancies at Shelby State.
e. Financial aid for whites at TSU:
1) 1972-73 - $74,750 for 100 students
2) 1973-74 - 73,565 for 102
3) 1974-75 - 97,000 projected for 125 students;
4) Further
current
expansion of program not lifely under
funding procedures.
f. Off-Campus Programs of TSU:
1) Courses begun at Columbia State and Volunteer
State in fall, 1972 a’.id spring, 1973 respectively;
2) No courses given at either center in fall, 1973;
38
A17
3) Future enrollments and racial impact of
program difficult to predict.
g. Eagle University Program of TSU
1) Majority black since its inception
2) Projected to be 87% black for 1974-75.*
h. Exclusive Programs Recommendation:
1) Transfer of whole professional fields
available in Metropolitan Area to
TSU such as engineering, business or education;
2) Evening courses by TSU in these fields
on the UTN campus {PI. Int. Ex. #28).
The THEC interim plan contained the following elements
a. S3R goals for 1974 white student enrollmentat TSU set too low because:
1) No change in program anticipated
2) Off-campus courses will not produce
much net white enrollment gain;
3) TSU financial condition makes difficult
increase in white scholarship funds,
even though additional $300,000 appro
priated for 1974-75 above basic formula, or in white faculty.
b. Exclusive program assignment to TSU needed to:
1) Limit competition from Middle Tennessee
State for white Davidson County students;
2) Attract growing number of part-time
commuting, adult white students drawn to UTN.
c. Possible Exclusive Assignments to TSU:
1) Graduate Education - maximum desegregation
effect; offered at UTN under UTK auspices;
2) Undergraduate Education - substantial desegregation effect;
3) • Undergraduate Engineering (transfer ofjoing UTN—TSU program to TSU) - less
........impact on desegregation than 1)' and 2) .
%/ All the S3R projections were based upon trend analysis,i.e., on the,assumption that historical growth patterns would
remain constant into the future (See Buchanan-Rhoda Deoosition. at 23). "

A18
.) - •
d. Decision on which program to transfer in fall,
1974 should be left to governing boards.
THEC's analysis of program duplication in Davidson County
institutions revealed that UTN and TSU had similar undergraduate
offerings in Business Administration, Engineering, Education,
Nursing and Liberal Arts. Graduate program duplication existed
in Education and Liberal Arts, given at UTN under UTX auspices.
Graduate programs not available at TSU were given at UTN in
Business Administration and Engineering (UTK) (PI. Int. Ex.
#28) .
131. The University of Tennessee defendants filed a separate
interim plan in April, 1974. That document made the following
points:
a. It was willing to enter into negotiations
with the State Board of Regents concerning
the designation of exclusive academic pro
grams among public institutions of higher education in the Nashville commuting area;
b. Before significant desegregation at Tennes
see State could occur, the more fundamental
issues of upgrading that institution's
faculty, academic standards and public image
must be dealt with;
c. The merger of UTN and TSU was neither a de------- -----s±rabre",,-nor,'po,tentialiy effective method of •— •bringing about desegregation of Tennessee
State University;
d. THEC recommendations for exclusive program assignments have placed the entire burden
of desegregation action on UTN.
The University of Tennessee's Interim Plan for desegregation
continued its commitment to increasing black presence at all
levels from administrative staffs to student bodies. Its plan
relied largely upon the individual efforts of its constituent
institutions for the establishment and meeting of goals con
sonant with this policy. Specifically the plan contained the
following projections and data;
40
a. An increase of 568 black students over
1973-74 enrollments (PI. Xnt. Ex.#29 at 5); */
b. An increase of FTE black faculty of 30.9
over 1973-74 (PI. Int. #29 at 11); »*/
c. An increase of 20 blacks in the "officials
and managers" category (PI. Xnt. #29 at 12-18);
d. An increase of seven blacks in the "officials
and managers" and "professional" categories
on the UT Central Administration staff
(PI. Int. #29 at 19).
132. The university of Tennessee defendants filed objections
to the interim plant of SBR and THEC on or about April 10, 1974.
Their response was as follows:
a. Exclusive assignment of a UTN Program to
TSU was not feasible or sound until TSU's
academic standards and program quality are upgraded;
b. The concept of exclusive program assignment was agreeable to them;
c. UTN was achieving meaningful desegregation;
d. Exclusive allocation of new programs be
tween or among Middle Tennessee institutions was a promising way to promote further desegreation.
133. During 1972-73, the joint engineering program between
UTN and TSU had the following results:
2/ Most of this increase, 456, was to occur at UTK since UTK figures included JUC enrollments, it is difficult to determine how much of the actual increase was to involve the
Knoxville campus. Moreover, the projection for a black increase
at University of Tennessee at Chattanooga was minimal assertedly
because blacks eligible to attend UTC would enroll in Chattanooga
Community College instead. The 456 student increase was later corrected to show only a 64 student increase at UTK (UT Long Range Plan, at 5).
**/ Since this figure includes research associates and
research assistants it is not passible to determine how many blacks in instructor and above ranks were employed in 1973-74
or projected to be employed in 1974-75.
A20
a. Three required and three elective courses
were offered;
b . All three required courses and two of the
elective courses were held on the TSU
campus;
c- ‘ A total of 31 white students from UTN
enrolled in the three required courses;
only 3 black TSU students enrolled in re
quired courses, all in one course;
d. Three white students from UTN and 17 blacks
from TSU attended the elective courses at
TSU;
e. Twenty white students, 2 black students from UTN, and 5 black students from TSU attended the elective course at UTN;
f. Six white students from UTN had taken cer
tain classes at TSU and 11 black students had
taken certain classes at UTN under auspices
of joint program;
g. All UTN undergraduate engineering students
were enrolled in the joint program as
follows;
1) In fall, 1972, there were 147 white under
graduate engineering students at UTN;
2) In winter, 1973, there were 134 white
undergraduate engineering students at
UTN;
3) In spring, 1973, there were 131 white
---------- undergraduate engineering students at 1
UTN.
h. As of May, 1973 no TSU student had enrolled in
joint engineering program.H/
134. The faculty exchange program for 1972-73 between UTN
and TSU involved four white faculty from UTN teaching at TSU
and four black faculty from TSU teaching at UTN. *
_̂/ The foregoing analysis was derived from UTN's 1973
Answers to Government Interrogatory 6A and accompanying
Tables 1-9, 1-10, 1-11 and 6-1.
42
A21
Updated answers by UTN in 1974 to the Government's 1973
Interrogatory #2 indicated that the faculty exchange program
between UTN and TSU had been discontinued during 1973-74; "no
change" was the response to Interrogatory 6A on the joint
1/engineering program.
135. In June, 1974, THEC submitted to the Court a document
entitled "Further Plans for Terminating the Graduate Program
In Education at the University of Tennessee at Nashville and
\the Expansion of the Related Program at Tennessee State Uni
versity." The anticipated expansion was with respect to TSU's
pvening program. The Commission observed in this respect;
For many years Tennessee State University has taught classes at night. . . There is
considerable evidence that a large number
of students desired to take evening
courses at the University, but a variety of circumstances and situations mitigated
against it.
The expansion of TSU's evening program was to be accompanied by
\ major revisions in its organizational structure and staffing
patterns.
136. From the foregoing analysis of defendants' desegregation
plans prior to July, 1974, the following patterns emerge:
a. That significant increases of black student
enrollments in non-TSU institutions occurred at Memphis State University and Shelby
State Community College; increases elsewhere
were negligible;
b. That percentage increases in black student enrollment were determined largely by the
enormous growth of black populations in the new community colleges;
*/ UTN's 1973 Answers to Government Interrogatory 2
and Table 2-1.
43
A22
c. That significant increases in FTE black
faculty at non-TSU institutions occurred
at Memphis State University and Shelby
State Community College. Overall in
creases of FTE black faculty were negligible. In fact, from a percentage stand
point, there was a decrease of FTE black
faculty in the Regents system during that
period. There was, consequently, a net
percentage decrease in FTE black faculty
state-wide from 6.20% to 5.37 between 1969 and 1974;
d. That the FTE while faculty totals increased
by 1352.7; FTE black faculty increased 36.8;
e. That there was zero to minimal representation
of blacks in the administrative ranks of
Tennessee institutions of higher education, other than TSU, and on the staff of the governing boards;
f. That Tennessee State was made to carry the
heaviest burden of any institution in the
state with respect to achieving desegregation ;
g. That desegregation programs involving TSU
were funded out of its federal grants or general annual appropriations to the * ,
detriment of its program development.-' * I
/ In 1969 50% of TSU' s freshmen came from families with
I annua 1 in come s below $5,000 (Plaint. Ex. #45, Aprils ,1969 ___Tetter from President Torrence to joint Education Committee) and in 1970, 55% of its student body had similar economic
backgrounds, a figure not even closely approached by other
state institutions (Response of A.P. Torrence to 1973 Gov.
i Int. #2, May 21, 1973). Despite the relative absence of blacks
at other institutions during this period, TSU was apparently
expected to reduce its enrollment of economically disadvantaged
black students to free more of its scarce resources for programmatic improvements attractive to whites,as the following quotation reflects:
In view of the formal restraints that
face all of higher education, I think that some hard choices will be necessary between
those funds which will improve programs at Tennessee State which might lead to a
larger white enrollment and the funds which are required to take care of students with
learning problems and students with in
adequate financial resources for college.
(PI. Int. #46; June, 1971 letter from John
K. Folgier (THEC) to President Torrence)
44
A23
h. That Tennessee State's growth as a major
desegregated university was impeded by
program duplication at UTN and Middle Tennessee State which tapped the traditional
college student and working adult student
markets TSU would otherwise serve;*
i. That the faculty exchange program, the
joint engineering program, the off-campus
centers at Volunteer State and Columbia
State and the Eagle University Consortium all were failures in terms of achieving meaningful desegregation at TSU;
j. That TSU obtained no real benefit from
having the University of Tennessee School
of Social Work moved to its campus;
k. That TSU was committed to improving its
programmatic offerings and expanding its
public service role in a fashion consonant
with its status as a land grant institution.
This conclusion with respect to the competition between
TSU and UTN for non-traditional students was subsequently
echoed in the testimony of Drs. Wayne Brown, Frederick Humphries, Alexander Astin and Albert Berrian.
A24
E. Defendants' Desegregation
Proposals Since July, 1974
137. On July 31, 1974, all defendants joined in the submission
of a "Long Range Plan" for desegregation of higher education in
Tennessee. The plan was submitted along with three other
documents:
a .
b.
c.
University of Tennessee Long Range Plan;
State University and Community College Plan; and
Report of Consultant Panel (Def. Int. Ex. #10).
138. The document summarizing the "Long Range" plan contained'
the following projections for increased black student enrollments
in non-TSU public institutions of higher education over 1973-74
figures:
a. An increase of 2,919 students state-wide by fall, 1975 and 8,220 by 1980;
b. An increase in the community colleges of .1,128 by 1975 and of 3,357 by 1980;
c. An increase in the Regents universities of
840 by 1975 and of 2,088 by 1980;
d. An increase in the University of Tennessee
system of 951 by 1975 and of 2,775 by 1980.(Long Range _Plan, IIA, at 6).
139. The "Long Range Plan" summary projected the following
increases in ETE black faculty in non-TSU public institutions
of higher education over 1973-74 figures:
a. An increase of 71.9 state-wide by 1975 and of 291.5 by 1980;
b. An increase in the community colleges of 19.7
by 1975 and of 84.7 by 1980;
c. An increase in the Regents universities of
10.3 by 1975 and of 93.9 by 1980;
d. An increase in the UT system of 41.9 by 1975 and of 112.9 by 1980.
(Long Range Plan, IIB, at 3).
140. The "Long Range Plan" summary indicated the following
definite curriculum assignment provisions for desegregation in
the Nashville area:
46
A2 5
Arts and Science:
1) Undergraduate program at TSU;
2) Undergraduate program after 4 p.m. at UTN.
Teacher Education:
1) Exclusive responsibility for graduate
program given to TSU for minimum of five years;
2) Undergraduate teacher education at TSU
primarily during the day except where necessary at night;
3) Undergraduate teacher education at UTN during evening.
Business Administration:
1) Exclusive responsibility for business
education (undergraduate and graduate)
given to TSU;
2) Exclusive responsibility for daytime
undergraduate business programs and evening offering where necessary;
3) Exclusive responsibility for Masters of Business Administration (M.B.A.) Program given to UTN as evening program;
4) Bachelor of Science degree in general business or accounting to UTN as
evening program.
Urban Affairs:
1) Urban and Public Affairs Center to
be housed at UTN;
2) Center to be staffed by faculty from
Middle Tennessee State, UTN and TSU;
3) Center programs to be conducted on all
three campuses;
4) Joint baccalaureate in Urban Affairs -
core courses at each campus, basic
series at Center;
5) Joint masters degree in Public Adminis
tration - courses given at Center; 6
6) Director of Center jointly appointed.
- 47'-
A26
e. Allied Health:
1) All allied health programs, except nursing, assigned exclusively to TSU.
f. Nursing:
1) Associate of Arts degree programs
given during daytime at TSU and UTN;
2) Exclusive responsibility for bacca
laureate programs given to UTN.
g. Home Economics:
1) Exclusive responsibility given to TSU.
h. Fine Arts:
1) Programs during day at TSU;
2) Programs during evening at UTN.
i. Engineering:
1) Exclusive responsibility for specialized
baccalaureate engineering programs during day given to TSU;
2) Baccalaureate general engineering pro
gram at UTN;
3) Continuation of TSU-UTN joint bacca
laureate general engineering program for length of present agreement.(Long Range Plan, Part III, at 3-13)’.
141. The "Long Range Plan" summary indicated that a "continuing
desegregation committee" with responsibility for monitoring
the plan would be created. This committee would have the
following composition:
a. President and three members of UT Board of
Trustees;
b . Chancellor and three members of the StateBoard of Regents;
c. Executive Director and three members of theState Board of Regents.
(Long Range Plan, Part IV, at 1-2)
48
A27
142. The University of Tennessee System Plan made the follow
ing projections for increased black student enrollments, faculty
and administrative staff for 1975-76 and 1980-81 as compared
to 1973-74 figures:
a. Increased black student enrollments of 951
by 1975 and of 2345 to 3205 by 1980 */
(UT Plan at 5);
b. An increase in FTE black faculty of 41.9
by 1975 and 112.9 by 1980
(UT Plan at 29) **/;
c. An increase of blacks in the "officials and
managers" category at constituent institutions by 22 in one year and by 38 in five years
(UT Plan, at 30, 32-40);
d. An increase of blacks in the "officials
and managers" category at the UT Central
Administration by 3 in one year and by
nine in five years
(UT Plan at 31).
143. The UT Long Range Plan also made the following additional
commitments:
a. Not to approve any new academic program
department, other academic division or
off-campus center which had an adverse impact upon desegregation (Plan, at 3); and
b. Special recruitment programs to attract
black students (Plan, at 4);
*’/ The black student projections for UTK include 1/2 of the
Memphis Joint University Center enrollment. Projections for UTN are based upon possible cooperative programs with TSU.These UTN figures account for 505 students in the total UT
projections for 1975 and between 1,045 and 1,365 of the 2,345 to
3,205 total increase in 1980. Moreover, the 1975 projections represented only 670 black students over the 1974 projections,
as corrected (PI. Int. Ex. #29 at 5).
**/ The UT Long Range Plan indicates that the FTE black
faculty projections are explained by the - affirmative action
plans of the constituent institutions. The figures in the Long Range Plan and the affirmative action plans are consistently
different, e.g., the UTK affirmative action plan lists 23 black
'professionals" (a category comprised of professors, associate
professors, assistant professors, instructors and other pro
fessionals) employed as of January, 1974 and a target of 10
additional by April 1, 1975 (UT Interim Plan at 217) while the
Long Range Plan lists 24.1 FTE black faculty as of fall, 1973
and a goal of 22.9 additional by fall, 1975 for UTK (at 29).
- 49 -
A28
c. Use of Faculty Development Grants to
recruit and assist the professional
advancement of blacks (Plan, at 42 and
74-76).
144. The State Board of Regents Long Range Plan contained the
following projections for increased black student enrollments,
faculty and administrative staff at non-TSU institutions for
1975-76 and 1980-81 as compared to 1973-74 figures:
a. An increase in the Regents universities of
840 black students by 1975 and of 2091 by
1980 (MSU would contribute 555 students to
the 1975 total and 1,133 to the 1980
total) (Plan, Table 4);
b. An increase in the community colleges of
1,128 black students by 1975 and 3,359 by 1980 (Shelby State would contribute 694 black students to the 1975 total and
2,204 to the 1980 total) (Plan, Table 4);
c. An increase in FTE black faculty in the
Regents universities of 10.3 by 1975 and
93.9 by 1980 (MSU would contribute 3.9 to the 1975 total and 30.8 to the 1980 total) (Plan, Table 1);
d. An increase in FTE black faculty in the
community colleges of 20.7 by 1975 and
83.7 by 1980 (Shelby State would con
tribute 9.4 to the 1975 total and 35.8
to the 1980 total) (Plan, Table 1);
e. An increase in black administrative per
sonnel in the Regents universities of 5 by 1975 and of 19 by 1980 (Plan, Table 2);
f. An increase in black administrative per
sonnel in the community colleges of 13
by 1975 and of 54 by 1980 (Shelby State would contribute 4 blacks to the 1975
total and 20 to the 1980 total) (Plan,Table 2). ^/
145. Under the State Board of Regents Plan the status of
desegregation at TSU would be as follows:
jj/ The SBR Long Range Plan noted that its studies had dis
covered an "underutilization of minority membership on the State
Board of Regents staff at the administrative level" (Plan, at 4)
and'"an underutilization of ’other race’ in the employment of
faculty, administrators and staff" (Plan, at 5).
50
A2 9
a. Student body - 90% black in 1975 and
81.6% black in 1980;
(Plan, Table 4);
b. Faculty - 70.2% black in 1975 and
64.2% black in 1980 (Plan, Table 1);
c. Administration - 91.7% black in 1975 and
82.5% black in 1980
(Plan, Tables 1, 2 and 4).
146. The State Board of Regents Plan acknowledged the impor
tance of then existing admissions, recruitment, retention,
remediation and financial aid programs to increased black student
enrollments (Plan, at 9-13). It acknowledged the equal impor
tance of recruitment, training and promotion and grant-in-aid
policies to increasing black faculty and staff (Plan, at 6-7).
147. The State Board of Regents bong Range Plan contained
a commitment to conduct studies to determine the impact upon
desegregation of any new academic programs, facilities on exist
ing campuses or institutions (Plan, at 17).
148. The State Board of Regents Long Range Plan proposed the
creation of an ad_ hoc committee comprised of representatives
from the three governing boards to monitor the implementation
and effectiveness of the desegregation plan (Plan, at 18). The
University of Tennessee Long Range Plan envisioned self-monitoring
of desegregation goals and timetables (UT Plan at 25 and 47).
149. The Consultant Panel (a four-member body of outside
educators retained by the defendants) submitted a Report which
contained the following suggestions and recommendations:
a. A list of criteria for achieving higher
education desegregation established by
the United States Department of Health,
Education and Welfare, which included, inter alia:
51
A30
1) Definition of the costs involved
and the sources of the financial
support for desegregation proposals; and
2) Commitment to the concept of "impact
studies" to determine the consequences
to desegregation of policy and programs
changes (Report, at 1-4).
Elements of state desegregation plans accepted
by HEW in June, 1974 with respect to:
1) Recruitment and retention of "other
race students;
2) Recruitment and retention of "other
race administrators and faculty;
3) Modifications in institutional curricular responsibilities;
4) Impact studies;
5) "Other race" membership on boards and
commissions;
6) Financial support; and
7) Monitoring procedures (Report, at
8-11). •
Exclusive program assignments to TSU and UTN - essentially those arrangements incorporated by the governing boards into
the Long Range Plan involving Teacher
Education, Business Administration, Public
Administration, Urban Affairs, Allied Health, “-Nursing, Home Economics, Fine Arts and Engineering (See Proposed Finding #140,
supra).
The following observation with respect to
merger of UTN and TSU:
. . . [M]erger of institutions in and of itself may not resolve any
of the basic problems. An action to
merge predominantly black and white
institutions in the same vicinity, or
even far apart, still leaves unre
solved the problem of diversification of the racial composition of each
campus. The chief result of a merger is the identification of a single body responsible for the solving of these problems, but the problems still
remain (Report, at 4) .
52
A31
150. The Long Range Plan was developed by an Ad Hoc Committee
comprised of representatives from the three governing boards with
the assistance of the staffs of their boards and of a four person
consultant panel. Three members of the Ad Hoc Committee testified
in depositions to the following facts about the development of the
Long-Range Plan:
a. Involvement of Consultant Panel in establishing
State-Wide Desegregation Goals:
1) Consultants saw the projections and gave them
their imprimatur (ArmstrongDeposition, 75);
2) The projections went directly to the Ad Hoc
Committee (Martin Deposition,25);
3) Consultants were very familiar with the projections (Furrow Deposition, 14).
b. Extent to which potential merger of UTN and TSU
was discussed by Ad Hoc Committee and theConsultants:
1) Matter was discussed with consultants at
first meeting of Ad Hoc Committee and
they advised against merger (Armstrong Dep., 87-95);
2) Matter was not discussed with consultants
at first meeting (Furrow Dep., 8-9).
c. Reasons for opposing merger:
1) Fear of chaos and white flight (Armstrong Dep., 34);
2) Impossible to get agreement of two
governing boards (Martin Dep., 17);
3) Not certain it would work (Furrow Deo.,
at 36).
d. Whether studies done on impact of course
assignments in Nashville area upon desegregation:
1) No such studies done with respect to
graduate Teacher Education, Urban Affairs,
Allied Health, Home Economics, or Fine
Arts (Armstrong Dep., 42,56,63-65,69-70 and 71 respectively);
2) No knowledge of how plan would attract
whites to TSU (Martin Dep., 17); 3
3) Did not look into whether programs assigned
to TSU in past had produced desegregation (Furrow Dep., 27-29).
53
A32
e. Maintenance of Nursing Programs at both
TSU and UTN was approved even though
Committee made no study of whether TSU had
capacity to handle entire enrollment and no
consideration was given to such an alternative.(Armstrong Dep.,65-69; Furrow Dep.,35-36, 47-49).
f. Committee's recommendations for exclusive
course assignments did not alter the status
quo very much (Armstrong Dep., 45-46;Furrow Dep., 25-26).
g. The projections for increased black student
enrollments, faculty and staff were prepared by individual campuses and approved, without
question, by the Ad Hoc Committee (Armstrong Dep., 74-74; Martin Deo.,23); Furrow Dep.,18-24).
hi Committee did not see its function to include
recommendations on budgeting to achieve proposals in Long Rnage Plan (Armstront Deo.,16-62, 70).
157. The consultants who worked on the Long Range Plan made
the following observations in deposition testimony on their
involvement;
a. Recommendations for program assignments
essentially maintained the status quo (French
deposition, 87-98; Godard Deposition, 69-74; Jackson Deposition, 108, 131-132);
b. Discussion of merger with Ad Hoc Committee:
1) Not discussed at first meeting
(French Dep., 4 7 ) _________________
c. Reasons why merger of UTN and TSU not recommended:
1) Better to try to improve current situa
tion involving two institutions than to
make changes in this arrangement even
though greater desegregation might result from merger (French Dep., 97); *
2) Merger might damage TSU in terms of signifi
cant black administrative presence (Goddard Dep., 108-111);
3) TSU would "get the worst of the deal"
(Jackson Dep., at 89); but no intensive
consideration given to this alternative (Id., 112-113).
d. Panel was not involved in setting of the numerical
goals for student and faculty desegregation and
does not know how they were arrived at (French
Dep., 137-146; Jackson Dep., 138).
54
A33
e. Recommendation that Nursing Programs be
continued at both UTN and TSU based upon
view that TSU program was inferior
(Godard Dep,, 73-75; Jackson Dep. 128);
f. Plan was inadequate because of its;
1) Lack of real commitments of money to
achieve greater desegregation (Godard
Dep., 38-4; Jackson Dep. 134-138, 141);
2) Failure to address the issue of minority
representation on governing boards (French Dep. 60-61; Godard Dept, at
30-33; Jackson Dep. 35-37);
3) Lack of firm commitments to expand program
offerings at TSU (Godard Dep.,81-88);
4) Failure to address meaningfully the issue
of program duplication (Godard Dep., 91).
152. Administrative staff members of the State Board of Regents
charged with preparing projections for inclusion in the Long
Range Plan testified as follows:
a. "Trend analysis" was the primary approach
used to arrive at projections for black
student enrollments at institutions based
upon past enrollment trends and THEC pro
jections; information from individual campuses
played a minor role in this process (Rhoda-
Buchanan Dep., 21-27, 52-54);
b. No efforts were made to determine projections for graduate school and professional school
black enrollments separate from those for undergraduate enrollments (Id., 64-65);
c. Projections for white enrollments at TSU
included a number of off-campus programs such as at Eagle University, Volunteer State and Columbia State (Id., 74-78);
d. 1980-81 projections for TSU were prepared prior
to inclusion of consultants' suggestions into Nashville section of Long Range Plan and not
changed thereafter (Id., 97);
e. Trend line analysis was used primarily to
arrive at projections for black faculty
with some "educated guesses" by each insti
tution of what could be accomplished (Id.,132-133, 169-170); and
f. Trend analysis was used primarily to arrive at
projections for black administrative staffs; affirmative action plans were not considered as such (Id., 178-179).
55
A34
153. A member of the University of Tennessee administrative
staff charged with .preparing projections testified as follows:
a. Black enrollment goals were set basically by
each constituent campus (Prados Dep. 29)
based upon overall retention figures, irres
pective of race, with an "intuition factor" added on (Prados Dep. 29-32);
b. Black enrollment goals for campuses other
than Chattanooga contained projected results
of special programs above current practices (Id., 33-40)
c. UT had no studies on black retention available
to it in arriving at projections for black enrollments (Id., 45-46);
d. UT did not have demographic data sufficiently available for it to project on a rational
basis the number of black faculty in various
academic areas; reliance placed primarily
upon institutional recommendations and faculty- student ratio projections (Id., 92-94); no
black faculty pools were identified (Id., 104-105);
e. The "officials and managers" EEO category
includes persons in jobs that are not truly- administrative (Id., 104-110);
f. The faculty development grant program would be
funded out of individual campus budgets and
did not represent any substantive change in
current policy (Id., 111-113); and
g. The UT Board approved the creation of a
School of Veterinary Medicine for the Knoxville Campus without determining the impact
of that decision upon desegregation (Id.,18-20).
154. From the foregoing analysis the following conclusions
about the defendants' Long Range Plan seem warranted:
• a. It was a "bare outline" of a desegregation
plan which needed to have "meat put on its
bones" (Godard Dep.,119);
b. Development of the statewide portion of the plan did not involve the consultant panel in
any meaningful way;
c. The consultant panel's contribution to development of the Nashville portion of the plan
was largely one of affirming the status quo;
d. The panel’s affirmation of the status quo was not based upon any studies of the desegraga-
tion_impact of maintaining pre-existing program assignment arrangements;
56
A3 5
e. The panel conducted no study to determine
whether merger of UTN and TSU was feasible
because of its perception that the matter
was controversial and complex;
f. The statewide projections, including those for the Nashville area, for black
increases were highly conservative in the
sense that they relied primarily upon past
trends and did not involve analyses of important demographic data;
g. The statewide projections, including those
for the Nashville area, for black faculty
increases were similarly conservative and lacking in credible supportive data;
h. The statewide projections, including these
for the Nashville area, for black adminis
trative increases were purely speculative;
i. All projections for increased black presence
in higher education were based upon conflicting, highly speculative and deceptive assumptions;
j. Projections for increased black faculty and
staff were developed not for purposes of
removing the vestiges of the dual system as
required by this court but to respond to
HEW requirements for affirmative action pro- •
grams in higher education generally, irrespective of whether racial discrimination under state law had existed.
k. Programs assertedly designed to increase
black student and faculty presence were to
receive no special funding from the govern- * l.
— ——— ing—boards-to ensure their effectiveness;
l. The plan contained no real financial commit
ment to upgrading and enhancing the attractiveness of programs assigned to TSU;
m. Most of the non-*TSU black student increases
in the Regents system were projected to
occur at Memphis State University and Shelby State Community College;
n. Most of the black student increase in the
UT system was projected to occur at UTN;
o. Most of the black faculty increases were
projected to occur at the Regents institutions where Memphis State and Shelby State
would have the greatest numerical increases;
p. The plan was not one but several, one for each
individual institution; the implementation
and monitoring of each plan would be left
essentially to the respective institution;
q. Increased involvement of blacks in governance
57
— ■ J -w ’
A3 6
was not addressed at all;
r. The University of Tennessee, despite its
avowed commitment to consider the impact of
any new programs upon desegregation, moved
forward with the establishment of a new
School of Veterinary Medicine at Knoxville
and obtained THEC approval for a Bachelors Degree in Nursing on July 26, 1974, five
days before the Long Range Plan was submitted
to this Court and one day after the plan was approved by the governing boards (Def. Ex.
#26, at 3), without conducting such impact studies.
s. The Ad Hoc Committee played only a ceremonial role in the development of the Long Range
Plan, exercising no meaningful policy-making or evaluative function.
F. Implementation of the Long Range Plan
On or about August 1974, the defendants filed a report
to the Court with respect to the transfer of the graduate teacher
education program from UTN to TSU. The report indicated that:
a. A transfer of $252,000 in state appropriations had been made from UTN's budget to TSU's for
purposes of funding the program;
b. All offerings in graduate education available
previously at UTN (UTK auspices) would be
transferred to TSU and at least eight additional offerings would be made available at TSU also;
c. Cooperative arrangement established for the
Specialist in Education Degree Programs (Ed.S.) involving Austin Peay, Middle Tennessee and
TSU; TSU given exclusive responsibility for program in Davidson County;
d. No success in hiring UTN faculty to teach in TSU’s graduate education program.
156. in December, 1974, President Frederick Humphries of TSU
submitted to the State Board of Regents a position paper on
implementation of the July, 1974 Long Range Plan. His paper made
the following points;
a. That an adversary relationship existed
between UTN and TSU;
b. That the plan was viewed by TSU as a curtail
ment of its land-grant status and its parity
58
as a peer in the State Board of Regents University System;
c. That serious questions existed as to the
ability or inclination of the Executive
Director of THEC and counsel for defend
ants to represent adequately the interests
of SBR and TSU (PI. Int. Ex. #13, Humphries Testimony).
157. On February 21, 1975, the SBR representative on the Ad
Hoc Committee took the following position on implementation of
the Long-Range Plan:
After a lengthy discussion, the Committee concluded
that the best interest of Higher Education in this area and of Tennessee State University will be
served by strengthening the present plan. In rework
ing the plan, the Committee and staffs will operate
under the overall principle that Tennessee State
University maintain its present relative position of
greater enrollment, larger faculty, greater physical
facilities and more complex programs for the future
in Higher Education in relationship to U.T. Nashville
(PI. Int. Ex. #10? Humphries Testimony; Def. Ex. #51; Nicks Testimony).
153. On March 7, 1975, President Humphries set out for the
Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor of the State Board of Regents his
views on how TSU's interests and aspirations could be protected
and meaningful desegregation achieved under a two-school (non
merger) approach. His suggestions were: - ---
a. That Tennessee State be given responsibility
for exclusive operation of all day-time under
graduate and professional programs offered by
public institutions in Nashville. This would
require the following changes:
1) Assigning MBA program from UTN to TSU;
2) Assigning the daytime nursing program
from UTN to TSU;
3) Locating the Center for Public Administration and Urban Affairs at TSU?
4) Transferring the UTK's School of Social
Work to TSU control; and
b. That students at UTN not be allowed to take in
excess of nine quarter hours (Pi. Int. #12;
Humphries Testimony).
A3 8
159. On April 2, 1975, President Humphries charged, in a memo
randum to SBR Ad Hoc Committee members, the Chancellor and Vice-
Chancellor, that there "had been no recognition of the principle
or the implication of the principle" of TSU dominance in Nash
ville SBR meetings. In an April 8, 1975 memorandum to
Humphries, SBR Chancellor Roy S. Nicks denied these allegations
(Def. Ex. #50; Nicks Testimony; Humphries Testimony).
160. On April 2, 1975, Chancellor Nicks and UT President
Boling directed TSU President Humphries and UTN Chancellor Charles
Smith to proceed with steps to implement the Nashville portion of
the July, 1974 Long Range Plan. The following guidelines were
given to the UTN and TSU chief executives in carrying out this
mandate:
a. Starting in September, 1975 - the maximum
credit hours available to UTN students per
quarter would be twelve (12) for undergrad
uates and nine (9) for graduate students;
the Associate Nursing Program and undergraduate teacher education would be exempted in
order to comply with state regulations;
b. No new graduate programs would be initiatedat UTN for two years; the Monitoring Committee would have to approve any new programs thereafter;
c. No new daytime academic credit programs at UTN; and
d. AS in Nursing.during the daytime at UTN to continue until
1) Demand declined and
2) TSU began producing a satisfactory
number of graduates able to pass State Board of Nursing examinations (PI.Int. #9; Humphries Testimony).
161. on May 8, 1975, President Humphries forwarded to Chancellor
Nicks reports of joint UTN-TSU committees appointed to devise
mechanism for further desegregation in Nashville. His cover
letter contained the following observations with respect to the
committee1s efforts:
- 60 -
A39
a. The work of the committees was complicated bv the fact that:
1) TSU operates on a semester system; UTN has a quarter system;
2) UTK and MTSU offer programs in the Nashville area;
3) TSU offers all the public graduate programs in area, with the exception of the MBA
program given by UTN. ' The TSU graduate
programs are offered during the evening.
b. Very little was recommended that would provide
desegregation of the student bodies of the two institutions;
c. UTN representatives consistently made recommen
dations that would avoid developing the strength of TSU.
d. UTN representatives rejected several TSU suggest
ions that would have produced meaningful desegregation:
1) Cooperative program in teacher education wherein UTN students could transfer to
TSU for the taking of courses not offered
at UTN necessary to complete the degree;
2) Truly joint program in general engineering
involving 50-50 TSU-UTN division of course offerings and faculty and granting of joint degree;
3) Location of all graduate programs in engineering at TSU;
4) Joint offering of a baccalaureate program in nursing education during evening;
5) A Masters in Public Administration and Urban
Affairs between UTN and TSU in which UTK would play no role (PI. Int. Ex. #9 and
attached appendices reflecting work of joint committees).
162. On May 20, 1975, the defendants filed a progress report on
desegregation. The report indicated the following changes in
black presence in fall, 1974 over 1973-74 figures:-
a. A black student increase in non-TSU institutions of 2,091;
b. A black student increase in the non-TSU Regents
universities of 849 of which 700 were at Memphis State;
c. A black student increase in the Community
colleges of 884 ( 573 at Shelby State);
61
A40
d. A black student increase in the UT system of 358 (Table I);
e. A black full-time/regular part-time faculty
increase in non-TSU institutions of 34;*
f. A black faculty increase in the non-TSU
Regents universities of 7 (5 at MSU);
g. A black faculty increase in the community
colleges of 7 (6 at Shelby State);
h. A black faculty increase in the UT system of 203 (Table III);
i. A black administrative personnel increase
in non-TSU institutions of 20;
j. A black administrative personnel increase at the non-TSU Regents universities of 6 (3 at MSU);
k. A black administrative personnel increase
in the community colleges of 6 (5 at Shelby State);
l. A black administrative personnel increasein the UT system of 8 (Table TV and Table V);
m. A decrease in black faculty at TSU of 19 (Table III);
n. No increase in black presence on the adminis
trative staffs of the governing boards . - two
in 1973, two in 1974: none at SBR, one at
UT (down from 2) and one at THEC (Table VI).
j*/ In this report, defendants reported statistics on black faculty
using the "full time and regular part-time" approach. In prior reports, figures were given for FTE (full-time equivalent)'faculty,
The distinction in these approaches can be seen by comparing fall
1973 FTE figures and full-time regular part-time figures for the same period. The FTE total in non-TSU institutions was 121.4
(Long Range Plan); the total using the other approach is 137. The
second method produces a higher total black presence. In fact,
on May 28, 1975, TSU President Humphries wrote Chancellor Nicks
about this change in reporting faculty data. He remarked:
The resulting consequences of the new reporting is that blacks who are shifted from part-time to
regular part-time count much more on a statistical
basis then their involvement and benefits to the
system. It conceals what may be important to the
desegregation issue- the impact of blacks upon
the system (PI. Int. #47 at 2).
- 62
A41
163. The May, 1975 report indicated that TSU had an 87% black
student body, a 70% black faculty and a 78% black administrative
staff.
164. In May, 1975 the UTN figures for students, faculty and
administration were 90.8%, '94.1% and 97.9% white respectively.
165. The report mentioned that transfer of the graduate teacher
education program from UTN to TSU in fall 1974 increased white
enrollments in that program from 48 to 191 (Report, at 7).
166. The May, 1975 report justifies the following conclusions
about the status of desegregation:
a. Black student increases in non-TSU institutions occurred largely in the Regents system
with Memphis State and Shelby State accounting for most of the growth;
b. Black faculty increases in non-TSU Regents
institutions largely at Memphis State and
Shelby State; total increase negligible;
significance of increase clouded by use of
"full-time/regular part-time" approach;
c. Negligible increase in black administrators;
d. No change in negligible black presence on
central administrative staffs;
e. TSU remained largely black, UTN remained overwhelmingly white.
167. On July 21, 1975, the Tennessee Higher Education Commission
reaffirmed its commitment to the Long Range Plan and urged that
it be implemented (Def. Ex. #22; Wayne Brown Testimony).
168. On October 2, 1975, the defendants voted to implement the
•Long Range Plan. A Monitoring Committee was named to analyze
the current status of desegregation and report to the Court on
ways in which the plan could be strengthened (Brown Affidavit,
November 17, 1975).
169. On December 19, 1975, the Monitoring Committee met and
decided on what steps would be necessary to update the Long Range
63
A42
Plan and to file a progress report with the Court by February,
1976. The Committee identified as one of its tasks to:
Strengthen the plan on a statewide basis in
a manner that would cause the least possible
damage to the higher education public, dis
rupting the systems and communities as little as possible and considering such
elements as "exclusive" and "cooperative" programs.
Drs. Brown (THEC), Boling (UT) and Nicks (S3R) were given the
responsibility for formulating the progress report to be filed
in February, 1976 (Def.. Ex. #12 - December, 1975 Meeting).
170. The February Progress Report was approved by the Monitor
ing Committee on February 9, 1976 (Def. Ex. #12 - February, 1975
Meeting).
171. The February Progress report (Def. Ex. #11) indicated the
following changes in black presence as compared to 1974-75
figures:
a. An increase in black student enrollments
in non-TSU institutions of 2,227;
b. An increase in black student enrollments
in non-TSU Regents universities of 551 (347 at Memphis State);
c. An increase in black student enrollments
in community colleges of 1141 (735 at Shelby State);
d. An increase in black student enrollments
in the UT system of 535 (the increase at
UTN almost equalled that at UTK: 169 vs.
172)(Progress Report, at 134);
e. An increase in black faculty at non-TSU institutions of 28;
f. An increase in black faculty at non-TSU
Regents universities of 5 (5 at MSU;
increase at Tennessee Tech of 2 cancelled out by reductions of one each at East
Tennessee and Middle Tennessee);
g. An increase of 18 black faculty in the community colleges (10 at Shelby State);
h. An increase of five black faculty in the
UT system (Progress Report, at 140);

No system-wide, equal-access goals are given (Progress Report,
at 146-47; 156-57).
175. The State Board of Regents projections for 1980-81 antici
pated the following changes in black presence compared to 1975-76
figures:
a. An increase in black student enrollments at
non-TSU Regents universities of 2,045 (1262 at Memphis State);
b. An increase in black student enrollments at
the community colleges of 3193 (1057 at
Shelby State) (Progress Report, at 148);
c. An increase in the black law student enroll
ment of 34 (out of 641)(Progress Report, at 151);
d. An increase in the black faculty of 42 in
the non-TSU universities (9 at Memphis State);
e. An increase in the black faculty at the com
munity colleges of 31 (15 at Shelby State)(Progress Report, at 158);
f. An increase in black administrators at non- TSU universities of 4;
g. An increase in black administrators in the
community colleges of 2 (Progress Report, at 159).
76. The University of Tennessee set the following dates for
achieving its demographic goals for black student enrollment:
66
A45
Chattanooga - 1991Knoxville - 2002Martin - 1986Memphis - 1993Nashville - 1986UT Law - 2015UT Medicine - 1999
No total system-wide demographic goals were set nor were anv
such institutional goals set with respect to faculty and adminis
tration (Progress Report, at 164).
177. The progress report indicated that the proposals in the
Long Range Plan for enhancing programs at TSU had not been
implemented (Progress Report, at 39-42, 45-75).*
178. The progress report reasserts the commitment in the Long
Range Plan for the performing of impact studies (Progress Report,
at 89-92).
179. The following conclusions can be drawn from the progress
report:
a. The Regents system continued to account
for most of the increased presence of
black students, faculty and administrators in non-TSU institutions;
______ h_._^Memphis State and Shelby State.were-res— -----------ponsible for most of the increases in the Regents system;
c. Regents projections envisioned that Memphis
State and Shelby State would continue to account for most desegregation;
d. The long-range projections were in large
part reliant upon the trend line approach in
which little consideration to what the defendants might and should do to increase
black presence above that likely to occur naturally;
e. Equal access for blacks in higher education in Tennessee is postponed in many institu
tions for almost a quarter of a century;
*[/ The report refers additionally to physical improvements being made at TSU. One development, approval of the Health, Physical
Education Complex (Progress Report, at 80) was obtained by TSU with out defendants' help(PI. Xnt. Ex. # 30-32).
67
A46
f. Thera were two plans, not one, utilizing different projections assumptions and
expectations; they were not coordinated very much at all;
g. The Monitoring Committee had no power to
develop a unitary plan, ignoring the
existence of two rival boards;*
h. After nearly two years of study and
discussion, defendants had not been able
to arrive at means for implementing
programmatic changes in the Nashville area;
i. It contains no specific commitment of
money for increasing desegregation.
180. The following additional criticisms were made of the Long
Range Plan and the progress report by expert witnesses at trial:
a.
b.
Killingsworth - the validity of the projections cannot
be determined since they are founded
upon a number of unstated and questionable assumptions.
Berrian
c. Astin
d. Blake
- there is no coordination between the Long Range Plan and the
Master Plan for Higher Education.
- programs assigned to TSU such as
graduate teacher education and business education are not in high yield category in terms of student body.
- Plan concentrates blacks in community
colleges where educational resources
are inferior to those at universities (PI. Int. Ex. #19).
- Projections for faculty and administrative increases cannot be
evaluated without indication of ranking.
- Projections lack a "sense of urgency"
with respect to desegregation.
181. Testimony at the fall, 1976 trial established that the
State Board of Regents did not initiate any efforts to increase
t/ Executive Director Brown testified in his March, 1976
deposition that the Long Range Plan was the best available "to
achieve desegregation with minimum disruDtion of current services"’ (Dep. 37-38).

A47
black presence in faculty at its institutions until March, 1976.
The SBR central staff provided member institutions with a list
of minorities and women eligible for employment. This process
produced only one new faculty member since most institutions
took no action pursuant to SBR directives (Hill Testimony?
Def. Ex. #1,2,13,14,17,13; Nicks Testimony; Def. Ex. #43). Yet,
during 1975-76 SBR institutions, excluding TSUrhired only 29 blacks
out of a total of 348 (Def. Ex. #12, Exhibit 3, Buchanan Report
to Monitoring Committee, September, 1976).*
182. The University of Tennessee Central Administration does
no more than to encourage its constituent institutions to seek
out minority faculty candidates (Boling Testimony). During
1975-76, the UT system hired 322 full-time and 191 part-time
faculty of which 23 and 3 were black respectively (Prados Report
to Monitoring Committee, September, 1976).
183. Trial testimony provided the following information on the
status of program assignments in Nashville to achieve greater
desegregation:
a. Allied Health
1) Enrollment for 1975-76; -284 blacks
43 whites(Def. Ex. #4)
2) Enrollment for 1976-77; 275 blacks
77 whites(Def. Ex. #5)
3) Funding - no funds from state for
expansion; certain money from federal government for Medical Records and Dental Hygiene Program;
4) Director doubted that whites would be at TSU if scholarship aid
were not made available (Bond Testimony).
_*/ Defendants' responses to Plaintiff-Intervenors December, 1975
Interrogatories #'s 48 and 49 make clear that projections for increases in black faculty and administrative staff were not
developed with any concrete recruitment program in mind.
69
A48
b. Business
1) Facilities of the new business school
under construction are inadequate to
meet the needs of TSU;
2) TSU could offer daytime and nighttime
program in undergraduate business admin-
instration; present program is almost
all black (Def. Ex. #36);
3) TSTJ could offer MBA programs at the
present time;
4) Faculty exchange - one white faculty member and one Indian from TSTJ assigned
to teach at UTN in 1976-77 (Ellzy Testimony)
5) TSTJ was looking for white dean for new
business school (Humphries Testimony).
c. Engineering (Def. Ex. #8)
1) Joint engineering program with UTN
not successful;
2) General engineering program at UTN includes
areas covered in TSU specialized programs;I
3) TSU planning to offer Masters Program
in Engineering during evening;
4) Whites would go to TSU for engineering if UTN did not exist; TSU presently has
capacity to absorb UTN engineering
program (Isibor Testimony);
5) Agreement in Sept.., 1976 to limit numberof hours to 24 its UTN students can take in
general engineering (Charles Smith
Testimony).
d. Public Administration and Urban Affairs
(Def. Ex. #64)
1) Administration of Program at TSU;
2) Director at TSU;
3) 1975-76 enrollment:78 enrolled/13 blacks;
4) 1976-77 enrollment:
100 enrolled/35 blacks;
5) Withdrawal of UTK from program
(Def. Ex. #63).
e. Graduate Teacher Education (Def. Ex. #36)
1) 1976-77 enrollment:
130 blacks
159 whites;
70
t
A49
2) White enrollment has continued to rise
since transfer in fall, 1974 to TSU
(Def. Es. #12, Monitoring Committed, Sept. 13, 1976).
f. Nursing
1) Performance of TSU graduates on State
Board Examinations markedly improved
2) Director of program is highly qualified
(Himaya Testimony; Pl.Int. Ex. #'s 34, 35,36; Gooding Testimony).
134. The reports on the 1976-77 status of the foregoing
programs indicate:
a. That the defendants are still unwilling to
devote additional state funds to increase
the attractiveness of TSU programs;
b. That programs such as undergraduate busi
ness assigned "exclusively" to TSU in the
day and to UTN at night tend to be segregated;
c. That programs assigned exclusively to one
school, day and night, such as graduate teacher education, achieve meaningful desegregation;
d. That joint program assignments are likely to fail;
e) That the difference in schedules between
TSU and UTN (quarter vs. semester system)
rendered cooperation even more difficult.
G. Desegregation Plan of Plaintiff
Intervenors Richardson, et al.
1B5. On July 31, 1974, plaintiff-intervenors Richardson, et al.
submitted a "Plan for the Dismantling of Tennessee's Dual System
of Public Higher Education" (Pi. Int. Ex.#2).
186. This plan was drafted by an educator familiar with state
higher education desegregation plans. The general objectives of
the plan were identified by a panel of educational experts which
included three black presidents of traditionally-black institu
tions of higher education in the South and one white foundation
executive with great experience in the field of education gener-

APPENDIX A
This appendix provides an outline; of each plan
and progress report filed by the defendants beginning
with the first plan in 1969 to the February, 1976
Progress Report.
It should be noted that each of the defendants'
plar.3 and reports has contained the same methocoicgy
for discantling the dual syctcc of public higher
education in Tennessee. In each instance the defendan
have proposed to desegregate their public institutions
of higher education on a statewide basis by urging
each institution to intensifj- their efforts to irereas
the minority faculty complement anu minority student
enrollment on each campus and by increasing the amount
of financial aid available to minority students. In
relation to the Hashville Aren, the defendants have
consistently proposed to utilise the concepts of joint
cooperative and exclusive assignment of programs to
increase the size of the minority student enrollment
on each of the two campuses located in Nashville.

Progress Report. Jure 14. 1971
This report once again emphasized the defendants'
efforts on an individual institutional basis to increase
the pace of desegregation. This report revealed the
following:
1. Some degree of success has been achieved by
the predominantly white institutions in recruiting
minority students;
2. The greatest degree of success in recruiting
minority students was exhibited by Memphis State which
increased its minority student enrollment by 229 students

\
,
:
Plan Filed Narch 77, 1972
This plan is devoted almost exclusively to
the desegregation of TSU.
A. Student Enrollment
1. The plan projected an increase of white
students enrolled at TSU from 100 in 1971 to between
300 and 500 in the fall of 1972;
2. TSU would employ a full-time white recruiter
to visit high schools, community colleges and other
sources of white student enrollment;

in the fall of 1972;
A56
-7-
A57
2. The Nashville area portion or the UT School
of Social Work would be housed on TSU's campus; this
would increase the number of white faculty members on
TSU's campus by 20;
3. TSU would employ white faculty to fill all
vacancies where it was possible to do so;
4. TSU would hire between 20 and 25 white
faculty members by the fall of 1972;
5. The plan projected that over the next three
years white faculty would constitute between 35% and 40%
of TSU's total faculty;
6. TSU and other Middle Tennessee institutions would
implement a faculty exchange program by the fall of 19^2;
7. Twenty to twenty-five TSU faculty members
would accept appointments at UTH, MTSU, A. Peay,
Volunteer State and Vanderbilt by the fall of 1972;
8. Ten new non-black faculty members will be
employed by TSU in areas where a strengthened faculty
would be most likely to attract white students.
C. Curriculum

THUG Report: - July 1?. 197?.
This report was filed by THEC to indicate the
progress made by the defendants and to indicate additional
steps which were needed to desegregate public higher
education in Tennessee,, The report stated:
A. Student Enrollment
1. Black enrollment at the predominantly white
institutions had been increasing by 800 to 9C0 per year:
2. In 1971, 5600 black students were enrolled
In the predominantly white institutions;
3. To develop programs which will attract white
students, T5U must raise its admissions standards and
strengthen the faculty in areas most likely to attract
white s tudents;
4. Competition for students in other public
institutions in.Nashville area must be reduced if TSU is
to attract white students. Primary competition comas
from UTN and MTSU;
The5. a oaly successful large scale desegregation of
formerly black institutions has come by attracting adult,
part-time, commuting students, mostly enrolling in
theevening classes. Therefore, UTN providesAbiggest com
petition to TSU in its efforts to attract white students.
MTSU offers substantial competition because it offers i
very comprehensive curriculum, and has been moving into,
high-demand program areas (communications, law enforcement
and other public service occupations);
6. Program allocations which would increase the
number of white students at TSU include:
-9-
A59
a. All teacher education programs in
metropolitan Nashville should be concentrated
at TSU by Fail 1973. Teacher education courses
at the undergraduate level at UTN and graduate
courses offered by UT Knoxville in the
metropolitan Nashville area should be phased
out by June 1973. The teacher education
faculty at UTN should be offered jobs at TSU
beginning Fall 1973, with equivalent rank and
appropriate salary increases. TSU should
employ an educator (preferably white) with a
national reputation to serve as Dean of
Education beginning Fall 1973. All public
institutions in the State, except TSU, should
terminate any education courses offered off
campus in Davidson or adjacent counties.
b. The same objective of desegregation
could be achieved by a joint TSU-UTN program
in professional education, leading to joint
undergraduate and graduate degrees.
c. TSU and MTSU should develop a joint
program at both the Associate and Baccalaureate
level in law enforcement and corrections by
the Fall of 1973, designed so that students
take at least the equivalent of a full quarter
of work on each campus.
d. So that TSU can concentrate resources
on development of strong undergraduate programs
and professional programs in Teacher Education,
Engineering and Allied Health, all graduate work
in Agriculture - at TSU should be phased out by
Fall 1973 and transferred to MTSU.
e. The Joint Master's Program in Business
Education between TSU and KTSU should be
continued. The program requires students to
enroll on both campuses.
f. A consortium of Volunteer State,
Nashville State Technical Institute and TSU
should be formed to provide community college
courses and programs, taught by faculty from
all 3 institutions and offered at: UTN (daytim<*
only), N3TI and TSU. A detailed plan should be
developed by Fall 1973 which is acceptable to
the Court and THEC.
7. Merger of TSU and UTN does not appear feasible at the
present time.
-10-
A60
B. Faculty
1. The number of full-time equivalent black faculty
in predominantly white institution® has increased from
15 to 63 in 3 years. There are 67 black professional
staff employed by predominantly white schools;
2. Campuses with predominantly white faculties
should work out arrangements with TSU to enable them to
approach TSU faculty to fill vacancies or new positions;
3. Predominantly white schools should continue
recruitment efforts, with the objective of doubling the
number of black faculty within 2 years.

TSU nopovc ~ July 13, 1972
This report was filed separately by TSU to provide
the following infomation to the Court:
1. TSU had concluded that the March 27, 1972
plan was inadequate to dismantle the dual system because
of the difficulty of desegregating TSU while it had to
compete with the expanded facilities and curricula of
UTH;
2. TSU questioned the provision of a plan which
assumed that the employment of additional white faculty
at TSU would establish a "white presence" at TSU and
speed desegregation;
3. In 1970-71, 17.257 of the students enrolled
in TSU's evening classes were white but less than 17.
full-time
of the regularAenrollment was white;
4. TSU proposed the merger of UTN and TSU and
that TSU be given exclusive control of all public higher
education in Metro Nashville;
5. TSU proposed that the States' efforts to
comply with this Court's order should include (1) assuring
greater opportunities for blacks to receive college
level education and (2) making a serious effort to deseg
regate its institutions of higher education.
-12-
A62
Progress Report:.. July 31. 1972
This report was filed by the defendants to
indicate their progress relative to the proposals set
forth in their March 27, 1972 Plan. The report revealed:
A. Student Enrollment
1. TSU had received firm commitments from 14 white
students who required financial aid;
2. The plan committed one-third of the States'
$400,000 financial aid appropriation to TSU for financial
aid for white students;
3. TSU had employed a full-time white recruiter
and he had visited 59 high schools, 5 community colleges,
4 correctional facilities and 41 homes in an effort to
recruit white students;
4. The General Assembly allocated in excess of
two million dollars to TSU for the improvement of its
physical facilities to attract white students;
5. Plans had been developed to begin housing the
UT School of Social Work on TSU's campus by the fall
of 1972.
B. Faculty
1. TSU experienced 19 vacancies of which 7 were
filled with whites, 9 remained vacant and two whites
were continuing to negotiate;
2. Three and one-half full-time faculty exchanges
arranged for 1971-72;
3. Six whites had been recruited in areas most
likely to attract white students.
-13-
A63
University of T'’■"'?̂ s'^ Peoorh — Au^ust 1., 1972
to
1. Merger of TSU inAthe UT system would enable
UT to provide to that campus the vast expertise and
knowledge in academic affairs required in developing
quality academic programs;
2. The merger of TSU into that UT system,
because of existing social conditions and the attitude
of the black community, cculd result in severe criticism
of this approach and large scale disagreement by that
segment of the population;
3. Therefore, UT does not believe that it is
feasible to merge TSU into the UT system at the present
time, without creating considerable social and political
unrest;
4. In regard to feasibility of merging UTN into
TSU, UT believes that such a move would result in the
quality of programs at UTN being lowered;
5. TSU's assumption of control and operation of
UTN would not result in the desegregation of TSU. There
is no assurance that existing faculty or students at UTN
would remain on that campus if TSU assumed control;
6. The following Cooperative programs between ITU
and TSU are currently in operation:

i. Utilization of TSU faculty at UTN;
7. UT believed that the plan filed March 29,
1972 can be implemented, and has pat into effect part
of the plan. For example:
a. Faculty exchange - UTN hap supplied
names of 26 faculty members who are willing
to participate;
b. UTN volunteered to provide white
faculty to TSU on non-matching basis;
c. UT is proceeding with the plan to
move the School of Social Work to the TSU campus;
d. UTN has proposed cooperative efforts
re use of library facilities.
8. UT believed that the best method for aiding deseg
regation of TSU would be consolidation of the curricula
of TSU, Volunteer State, Nashville Tech, MTSU, and UTN in
areas where programs are similar.

1. The report stated that it would be easier
to increase the number of white faculty at TSU than
itwould be to increase the nurier of black faculty at
the ocher institution because of the nationwide
shortage of black people who are qualified to teach
on the college level.
2. The UT System and the Board of Regents will
implement their grant-in-aid programs as specified in
the Long Range Plan.
3. Between 1974 and 1975 the Board of Regents

AFFIDAVIT OF STERLIN ADAMS
STATE OF TENNESSEE
DAVIDSON COUNTY
Sterlin Adams after being duly sworn according to law deposes
and says:
That he is one of the Plaintiff-Intervenors in the above case
and is Special Assistant to the President of Tennessee State Univers
Following entry of the Order of the Court in the above case on 28
February 1977 the defendants, Dr. Roy Nicks, Chancellor of defendant
State Board of Regents and Dr. Wayne Brown, Director of The Higher
Education Commission, issued releases of information to the news
media to the effect that the black President of Tennessee State
University, Dr. Frederick Humphries, was guilty of mismanagement by
virtue of the failure of the University to suspend a large number of
B2
students who did not meet grade requirements in the years 1975 and
1976. These defendants incited a Legislative investigation by a
Sub-Committee of the State House of Representatives which was designed
to high-light the matter and support Legislative action to eliminate
a portion of the funds allocated to Tennessee State University in
the 1977-78 budget. Shortly after inciting said Legislative action
defendants, Roy Nicks, Chancellor of the Board of Regents and Jimmy
Jones, Chairman of the Board of Regents, threatened Dr. Frederick
Humphries, the black President of Tennessee State University, with
discharge, suggesting that he resign in order to avoid same. When
he declined to do so the matter of his discharge was placed on the
agenda of a Board Meeting in Johnson City, Tennessee, about June 1977,
but because of a protest by a large group of black supporters to
the defendant Blanton and to the defendant, Board of Regents, in said
Board Meeting, the matter of President Humphries' discharge was post
poned and he was given nine months within which to establish to the
defendant Board he had a grasp of the problems involved in the oper
ation of Tennessee State University. Copy of news articles reflecting
all of the aforesaid actions of the defendants is attached hereto as
Collective Exhibit "A".
On information and belief, the sole purpose of the above actions
of the defendants was to attempt to defame the black President of
Tennessee State University and thereby provide a basis for a claim
that he would be incompetent to administer an integrated institution
under the plan ordered by the Court. Said actions were also done in
an attempt to downgrade and discredit Tennessee State University as
an educational institution, thereby avoiding the effect of the District
-2-
—____ _ ___________ -
B3
Court's Order, v i z . , the creation of an integrated major urban uni
versity in the Nashville area. To the best of my knowledge, there has
never been such a campaign waged against any university in Tennessee,
when the university has suffered administrative difficulties or at any
other t i m e .
As a result of the aforesaid actions of the defendants approxi
mately $475,000.00 of the budget previously approved for Tennessee
State University was impounded and the President of Tennessee State
University, Dr. Frederick Humphries, and the administrative staff
have been operating under intense pressure in the performance of their
duties and continue to be closely monitored by the State Board of
Regents and Tennessee Higher Education Commission. The aforesaid
actions have also impeded efforts of the administrative staff of
Tennessee State University in making said University attractive to
white students and faculty and in developing said University into
a comprehensive university, as contemplated by the Order of the
District Court.

SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL ORDER
Plaintiffs having filed a Motion for Further Relief concerning
the higher education phase of this litigation, and the Court having reviewed
the extensive documentary evidence, depositions and opposition thereto, and
having heard argumenc upon plaintiffs' motion, the Court hereby makes the
following findings and conclusions and grants further relief a3 hereafter
sec forth.
"M S? P . DAVcY. Clef.
Civil Action No. 3095-70
1. Pursuant Co this Court’s November 16, 1972 Opinion finding
Chat defendants had failed to enforce Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights
Act with respect to public higher education systems in ten states, on
February 16, 1973 this Court ordered defendants within 120 days Co commence
T i d e VI enforcement proceedings against states which failed Co undertake
higher education desegregation. Adams v. Richardson. 356 F. Supp. 92
(D.D.C. 1973).
2. On review, the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia
Circuit on June 12, 1973 affirmed this Court’s Order, but it granted a
period of 120 days to permit submission by the ten states of higher educa
tion desegregation plans, and an additional ISO days thereafter before
commencement of enforcement proceedings against "those states whose plans
are not acceptable.’’ In so doing, Che Court of Appeals emphasized that HEW
D2
has "not yet formulated guidelines for state-wide syscems- of higher
learning;" that "the problem of integrating higher education must be dealt
with on a state-wide racher than a school-by-school basis;'" and chat the
controversy involves "the complex problem of system-wide racial imbalance"
in public higher education. Adams v. Richardson. 480 F.2d 1159, 1164-65
(1973). Subsequently, by consenc of the parties and pursuant to this
Court’s Order of March 22, 1974, the higher education enforcement deadline
was further extended to June 21, 1974.
3. Prior to the aforesaid deadline date, defendants had trans
ferred the higher education desegregation issue concerning Louisiana to
the Department of Justice for the commencement of enforcement proceedings.
Mississippi was referred to the Department of Justice after the state's
plan was rejected. In June of 1974 defendants found acceptable in each
of the eight remaining states the states' proposed higher education desegre
gation plans. As hereafter specified, the Court finds that such plans did
not meet important desegregation requirements and have failed to achieve
significant progress toward higher education desegregation.
4. In individual communications sent to the ten states in
November of 1973 and April of 1974, defendants identified the critical
requirements of an acceptable desegregation plan. The Court finds that
the desegregation plans submitted by the state systems of higher education,
and' accepted by HEW in June of 1974, failed to meet the requirements
earlier specified by defendants. Defendants accepted such plans although
plaintiffs had submitted to defendants on April 1, 1974 an extensive
memorandum which had specified the importance of obtaining from each state
specific commitments for change and in particular as concerns the desegre
gation of student bodies, of faculties, the enhancement of Black institu
tions long disadvantaged by discriminatory treatment, and desegregation:^
Che governance of higher edueaclon syscecs.

5. The failure of the plans accepted by HEW in 1974 to achieve
desegregation progress is not disputed by the defendants. In the deposi
tion taken of OCR Director Holmes in October of 1975, he conceded (Tr. 29-30
50-51) that Che general segregated pattern in student attendance and
faculty assignment which had existed before the plans were accepted remained
substantially unchanged. More recently, counsel for defendants conceded
to this Court in argument of January 17, 1977 (Tr. 37) that the plans
"haven’t worked."
6. The deposition taken of OCR Director Martin Gerry on
January 13, 1977 further confirms the lack of progress, and the need to
obtain specific commitments necessary for a workable higher education
desegregation plan. Director Gerry so conceded concerning admission,
recruitment and retention of students (Tr. 5-15), concerning the placement
and duplication of program offerings among institutions (Tr. 17), the
role and the enhancement of 31ack institutions (Tr. 15-18), and concerning
changes in the racial composition of the faculties involved (Tr. 20-22).
Mr. Gerry generally conceded chat in retrospect the 1974 plans lacked
"standards of clarity and specificity" and the necessity that HEW "get
about the business of changing them or altering them." (Tr. 15-19).
7. Based upon the foregoing findings the Court concludes that,
in violation of Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, defendants are con
tinuing to grant federal aid to public higher education systems which have
not achieved desegregation or submitted acceptable and adequate desegrega
tion plans in the states of Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina,
Oklahoma and Virginia. The Court makes no present finding, and defers
further action, respecting the states of Louisiana and Mississippi which
are the subject of Judicial enforcement proceedings elsewhere; the state
of Maryland whose claim that HEW failed to adequately engage in voluntary
compliance is pending before the Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit;
and the state of Pennsylvania which is engaged with plainciffs and
defendants in settlement negotiation*.

8. The Court of Appeals has already noted (Adams, supra, at
p. 1164) "Perhaps the most serious problem in this area is the lack of
statewide planning to provide more and better trained minority group
doctors, lawyers, engineers and other professionals. A predicate for
minority access to quality post-graduate programs is a viable, coordinated
state-wide higher education program that takes into account the special
problems of Black colleges. *** These Black institutions currently
fulfill a crucial need and will continue to play an important role in
Black higher education." The process of desegregation must not place a
greater burden on Black institutions or Black students’ opportunity to
receive a quality public higher education. The desegregation process
should take into account the unequal status of the Black colleges and the
real dangeyhat desegregation will diminish higher education opportunities
for Blacks. Without suggesting the answer to this complex problem, it
is the responsibility of HEW to devise criteria for higher education
desegregation plans which will take into account the unique importance of
Black colleges and at the same time comply with the Congressional mandate.
Now, therefore, it is hereby ORDERED and DECREED that:
1- Defendant shall promptly notify the States of Arkansas,
Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Oklahoma and Virginia that the higher
education desegregation plans submitted by them to HEW in 1974 are not
adequate to comply with Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
2. Within 90 days from the data of this Order, defendants shall
transmit to the six States and serve upon the plaintiffs and this Court
final guidelines or criteria specifying the ingredients of an acceptable
higher education desegregation plan.
1/ The National Association for Equal Opportunity in Higher
Education, composed of one hundred and seven (107)
Black colleges, in an amicus brief before
e Court O j . Appeals, in argument before chis Court, and
in a statement of March 3, 1977 filed herein, has con
sistently voiced its concern about the possible adverse
effects of state plans on the future of Black colleges and
their primary mission of educating Black Americans.
3. Defendants shall require each State to submit, within 60
days of receipt by said States of the final guidelines or criteria, a
revised desegregation plan.
4. Defendants shall accept or reject such submissions by the
said States within 120 days thereafter.
5. Plaintiffs’ representatives shall be afforded timely access
to all submitted desegregation plans in order to comment on said plans
and shall continue to receive the bi-annual reports on higher education
compliance required by Paragraph 13(2)b of this Court’s Order of
February 16, 1973.
