Nashville, TN – Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen says he had not been aware that state law required him to appoint some Republican members to the Tennessee Board of Regents. The Chattanooga Times Free Press reports Bredesen saying Thursday the matter would be, in his words, fixed up.
Some Republicans have complained their party is not properly represented on the 17-member board, which oversees six state universities, 13 community colleges and 26 technology centers. Bredesen says he had been trying hard to be nonpartisan.
