Bill > SJR0102

This resolution confirms the appointment of Charles Traughber to the Tennessee State University (TSU) state university board, a position to which Governor Bill Lee has nominated him through a process outlined in Tennessee state law. The resolution notes that Traughber, a 2003 TSU graduate and 2008 University of Tennessee College of Law alumnus, currently works as general counsel at Bridgestone Americas and has previously served on several boards, including the TSU Foundation Board of Directors. According to Tennessee Code, the governor appoints eight members to the TSU state university board, with specific requirements that at least three appointees must be alumni of the institution and at least six of the nine voting members must be Tennessee residents. The resolution specifically confirms Traughber's appointment for a term ending on March 31, 2030, as required by state law, which mandates that gubernatorial appointments to the university board must be confirmed by both the state senate and house of representatives.
