NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) State lawmakers recently admitted the state owed Tennessee State University millions of dollars after not giving the school money promised to fund its agricultural department.
TSU is one of two agriculture universities in the state that for decades has been part of the federal land grant program. As part of that program, TSU was to receive the federal land grant which was to also be matched by the state.
Tennessee’s other land grant university, U.T. Knoxville is part of the same program. A special legislative committee found while the state often withheld the funding from TSU, UT always got its money, sometimes more.

“Come here, all of you, come here,” Wadia whispered, motioning for his students to gather around a column that supported the ancient church above. “Lay your hands on this pillar and close your eyes.”
He paused.

“Come here, all of you, come here,” Wadia whispered, motioning for his students to gather around a column that supported the ancient church above. “Lay your hands on this pillar and close your eyes.”
He paused.
“You’re now touching the Middle Ages. This pillar is older than America. Let that set in.”
That morning, Wadia was teaching a class, which included some discussion on “The Canterbury Tales,” Geoffrey Chaucer’s 14
th century masterwork, and to make the book’s 700-year-old stories relatable to his students, Wadia insisted they visit the medieval church to which the pilgrims traveled as they told their tales.
