I have been surprised at how many families I know that put state universities in the crosshairs because of politics and better private offerings.

That being said and sports aside, I have been really impressed with MT’s incoming student program.

It’s safe to say that the quality of students coming now are much better.

Probably a strategic move based on changes to the state's funding formula for higher education.

Just wait until Belmont opens their med school in 2024.

That's nothing... 7-wood brought in the Meharry Fast Track Program... and beer!

Unless there is something crazy I dont know not being a TN resident, we should just bring Meharry in to the fold in a joint venture with St. Thomas and call it a day. Except for the fact, as we are fully aware, McPhee doesn't have the political clout to pull something like that.

Agreed.

But…my guess is that TSU would have something to say about that. And their say would be “no.”

The state needs healthcare professionals. And the state universities need to do what they can to provide them.

MT enrollment is down 14.4% for period measured 2009-22

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but isn't Nashville School of Law the only public law school in Middle Tennessee? Belmont and Vandy are both private, am I missing another "public" institution?

The fact they did not want a public university with a law school in this area is telling. Some cannot afford the private route, and some do not want to move to Memphis or Knoxville? Total garbage.

yeah, 7-wood isn't here to improve anything. He is here to turn the school into tsu-Murfreesboro and import as many memphis kids as possible

 

[JohnDavidBlue]

Some of the biggest ripoffs to students is having them pay for athletics for programs like ours. It’s borderline robbery.

You are making young people pay to pad millionaires with a ceiling the height of a bush.

Nashville School of Law is private. There isn’t a public law school in Middle TN.
