In 1968, a class action lawsuit was filed by Ms. Geier et al. concerning the obligation of the state of Tennessee to render or re-mediate the vestiges of a de facto (formerly de jure) system of segregated public higher education. In 1984, a settlement was reached requiring all schools of higher learning in the state of Tennessee to meet set objectives in hiring and enrolling minorities in pursuit of the goal of eliminating the vestiges of segregation. A court order was issued to this effect. Finally, in 2001, there was a mediated settlement. See: Geier et al. versus Sundquist et al. (2001 Consent Decree.
