Talk:University of Tennessee system

Inaccuracy
I believe the comment regarding "Peyton Manning Pass" being the sole street (or road, or whatever) in the U.S. called a "pass" is quite inaccruate. In the Nashville, Tennessee suburb of Madison alone is Nix Pass, River Pass, Coggin Pass, Canton Pass, Allen Pass, School Pass, and Marlin Pass. In Franklin, Tennessee is Spencer Creek Pass.

University of Tennessee at Nashville
This former primary campus should be noted for historical reasons. Beginning in the 1950s, the University of Tennessee operated a night school for adult learners in downtown Nashville, focusing primarily on vocationally-related fields such as accounting. In the late 1960s, plans were formulated a new primary (albeit nonresidential) campus, the University of Tennessee at Nashville, located on the former site of First Baptist Church, Capitol Hill (formerly First Colored Baptist Church, one of the focal points of the Civil Rights movement in Nashville). This facility opened in 1971. A lawsuit was filed, based on the fact that there was already a four-year state institution of higher learning in Nashville, historically-Black Tennessee State University, formerly Tennessee Agricultural and Industrial Institute, operated by the Tennessee Board of Regents and alleging that the primary reason for UTN's existence was to continue segregation in higher education in the state. The lawsuit was eventually settled with a consent decree which, among other things, converted the former UTN to the Downtown Campus of Tennessee State (now styled as the Avon N. Williams Campus, in honor of a Nashville civil rights attorney and political leader). Something fully referenced covering this needs to be added to the article by more qualified editor. 2600:1004:B121:383B:C55E:82C7:A3F8:41DD (talk) 23:50, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
