2007-8 Higher Education Capital Funding Line 21 shows
the request for funding of the proposed ASP/Psychology building,
which Gov. Bredesen and the TN Legislature rejected. Notice
the projects that were funded!
Cherokee
Farm Website When President Petersen talks about "strategic" cuts,
this is where the money is going to be "strategically" spent
within the UT system. See also the above Capital Funding
document, showing the state is spending $32M on
the Cherokee Farm infrastructure, ALONE, this fiscal year. Many
more millions will be spent on this project alone! Are such
massive outlays wise in fiscally tight times in the state
of Tennessee?
