Financial Exigency is a formal declaration by the Tennessee Board of Regents that Tennessee State University faces an imminent financial crisis due to a current or projected absence of sufficient funds (appropriated or non­appropriated) for the campus as a whole.
Financial exigency results from an imminent fiscal crisis characterizing the entire University; thus, the condition of financial exigency may not be declared at a level below that of the institution (i.e., it may not be declared at the level of an academic or administrative unit such as a school, department, or similar account-level unit).
In light of the gravity of consequences resulting from a declaration of financial exigency, the process leading to a recommendation to the Tennessee Board of Regents that financial exigency be declared must be cautious, fair, well informed and as responsive as possible to the interests of various segments of the University.
