Bill > HJR0154

This resolution confirms the appointment of Dimeta Smith Knight to the state university board of Tennessee State University (TSU) for a term ending on March 31, 2028, in accordance with Tennessee state law. The resolution provides background on Knight, noting that she is a Nashville native and TSU alumna who graduated in 1998 with a Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting and later received a master's degree from Belmont University. Knight operates her own accounting practice, previously served as an adjunct professor at TSU from 2009-2017, and is a board member of the Tennessee Society of Certified Public Accountants. The resolution references state statutes that require the governor to appoint eight members to the university's board, with at least three being alumni and six being Tennessee residents, and mandates that these appointments must be confirmed by both the state senate and house of representatives. By passing this resolution, the Tennessee General Assembly is officially approving Governor Bill Lee's appointment of Dimeta Smith Knight to the TSU state university board.
