Бывший президент Теннесси-Стейт Гленда Гловер продолжает борьбу за справедливое финансирование исторически чернокожего университета

More than two years since former Tennessee State University President Glenda Glover retired from the position, she is continuing to advocate for fair funding at the university. State reports found in 2021 that the historically Black university has been historically underfunded by the state of Tennessee to the tune of more than half a billion dollars. A 2023  federal report estimates that the figure is even higher, totaling $2.1 billion. kAmv=@G6C C646?E=J C6=62D65 k6>mw@H s2C6 *@Fi p? wqr&!C6D:56?E’D u:89E 7@C w2=7 2 q:==:@? s@==2CD ~H65 — 2?5 E96 $E2E6’D p4E:@?D E@ pG@:5!2J>6?Ek^6>m[ 2 3@@< 56E2:=:?8 E96 9:DE@CJ @7 F?56C7F?5:?8 2E %$&[ 2=@?8 H:E9 v=@G6C’D C@=6:? 2EE6>AE:?8 E@ C64@FA E96 >@?6J] $96 2=D@ 7@F?565 u2:C uF?5:?8[ 2? @C82?:K2E:@? 25G@42E:?8 7@C 6BF:E23=6 7F?5:?8 7@C 9:DE@C:42==J q=24<:?DE:EFE:@?D @7 9:896C 65F42E:@?:?
