A RESOLUTION to confirm the appointment of Allen Carter of McMinn County to the advisory board for the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
Summary
House Joint Resolution 165 confirms the appointment of Allen Carter of McMinn County to the advisory board for the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. The resolution recites the statutory framework in Tennessee Code Annotated § 49-9-501, which creates advisory boards for several University of Tennessee campuses and requires General Assembly confirmation of gubernatorial appointees to the Knoxville board.
The measure does not create new policy or alter the structure of the university system; instead, it carries out an existing confirmation requirement by approving Governor Bill Lee’s appointment of Carter to a term ending June 30, 2028. The resolution also includes background on Carter’s business experience and his educational connection to the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
Impact
The bill’s legal effect is limited to confirming one individual to a statutorily created advisory board under Tennessee Code Annotated § 49-9-501. It does not amend the statute, change board powers, or affect university governance beyond filling a board seat for the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, through June 30, 2028.
Sentiment
The available voting history suggests broad, noncontroversial support for the resolution. The House Education Committee recommended passage unanimously, and the House later passed the measure on the consent calendar by a 92-0 vote, indicating little to no opposition and a routine confirmation process.
Contention
No substantive contention is reflected in the available materials. Because the resolution concerns a single gubernatorial appointment rather than a policy change, any discussion would likely have centered on the appointee’s qualifications and the confirmation requirement, but no objections, debate, or dissent are shown in the record provided.
