The resolution explains that under Tennessee law, the governor appoints eight members to the TSU board, with at least three appointees being alumni of the institution and at least six being Tennessee residents. Dimeta Smith Knight, a Nashville native and TSU alumna who graduated in 1998 with a Business Administration degree, currently operates her own accounting practice and previously served as an adjunct professor at TSU from 2009-2017.
