Judging from the email, you deciphered my garbled message this morning...I
was working from home (papers) and obviously do not know how to send an
email to campus. My apologies. Here is a cleaner version:

>If you saw the paper this morning, you will know that the previously
>announced 5% growth cap THEC wanted for next year (68 more would be
>allowed to enter UTC) has now been replaced by specific numbers for each
>campus. State funding will not be available for enrollment over these
>figures. Using last year's entering class compared to the new limits, we
>find the following allowed increases by campus:

>Austin Peay          189

>East Tennessee    195

>Middle Tennessee  628

>Tennessee State   349

>Tennessee Tech    276

>Memphis              179

>UTC                        8

>UTK                    676

>UT Martin            337

>Notice anything odd about this? This may be an indication of what THEC has
>already decided about the relative status of UTC. Do not
>be surprized if our peer group suggestions are ignored today at the THEC
>meeting. I do not have the slightest idea why, but it appears that THEC
>has a very low opinion of UTC and our future as a university. Maybe the AP
>report is just a typo or there is another explanation.
