Tennessee State University's new interim president, Dwayne Tucker, is addressing the university's financial crisis. Tucker, who took over after Ronald Johnson's resignation, is working on a new financial plan and has requested budget revisions. State leaders have pressed TSU to cut programs and tenured positions to avoid depleting funds. Tucker aims to stabilize the university's finances, which have been under scrutiny for over a year, with a $43 million injection from the state to help with payroll and financial stability.
