The Tennessee board of regents recently removed Tennessee State University President James Hefner’s authority over the school’s honors program. The board formally warned Hefner, alleging he had used the program to recruit several hundred out-of-state black students to attend the historically black college at the in-state tuition rate. Charles E. Smith, the state system’s chancellor, said that the program, which was begun in 1994, was designed for about 25-35 gifted, mostly in-state students. TSU admitted 223 students to the program this fall, almost 80 percent of whom were from outside the state.
Limited radio station coverage
Reporters at WWDD, Wake Forest University’s public radio station, recently said they felt pressured to limit coverage of a controversial campus issue. The university had issued a statement about a decision to forbid Wake Forest Baptist Church from using Wait Chapel for lesbian-union ceremonies. A university vice president contacted the station and requested that reporting be confined to the released statement. The radio station reporters, also university employees, said they feared for their jobs if they disobeyed the request.at the student’s interests would not otherwise be adequately represented in the pending lawsuit
