You are confusing the Tenn Board of Regents which governs the state university system including Memphis with the Tenn Board of Trustees which governs the Univ. of Tenn system. Unlike UAB within the UA system, UM was never part of the UT system and was never governed by the UT BOT.

All state universities now will have their separate boards instead of the one, umbrella BOR, but the situation was never as dire as UAB's at least in the sense that UT and UM always had separate boards.

How is the TN Board of Regents like or different from the one in Florida? It is my understanding that the one in Florida has authority over all Post Secondary schools in that state. Is UM now more like USA in Alabama since it broke away from the UA system?

But Memphis Blazer knows everything that goes on in the City of Memphis because he lives there.

I never said it was as dire as UAB. My point is that Memphis has more control than they did before.
Sure bud. Lol

Before this law, Tennessee's public colleges were under one of two boards. Univ. of Tennessee board ran the show in Knoxville, Chattanooga and Martin. All other schools (Memphis, MTSU, ETSU, Tenn. Tech, etc.) were under the board of regents.
