Davidson County prosecutors Monday announced they will not proceed with the prosecution of criminal charges against Tennessee State University professor Jane Davis.
Davis was charged with disorderly conduct in August after being led from a meeting between T-S-U's faculty senate and university administrators in handcuffs.
Doctor Davis was at odds with the university's interim president Portia Sheilds over allegations of improper grade changes. Davis, who was chair of the TSU faculty senate at the time, went public with allegations of impropriety sparking a state senate investigation. That was followed by efforts to remove Davis from her leadership post.
Doctor Davis says she was trying to answer allegations by Dr. Shields in a faculty senate meeting at the time of her arrest.
Davis no longer faces any penalty for disorderly conduct, a class B misdemeanor in Tennessee. An investigation into the grade changes concluded they were adjusted to address a mistake made by the university.

Alexander: TVA to help fish hatchery stay open
May 18, 2013 16:33 GMT
ERWIN, Tenn. (AP) -- U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander says the Tennessee Valley Authority will help keep a federal fish hatchery in East Tennessee stay open for at least three more years.
The Erwin National Fish Hatchery has faced closure in the past due to federal budget cuts.
The Johnson City Press (http://bit.ly/11MN6tv) cited a statement by Alexander that says the TVA has entered into an agreement with state and federal wildlife agencies that has the agency purchasing fish from both of Tennessee's national fish hatcheries for fish mitigation. That also includes the Dale Hollow National Fish Hatchery.
Meanwhile, the statement says TVA officials will work with state and federal authorities to find a permanent solution.
The TWRA has said the two hatcheries are responsible for raising 60 percent of all trout in Tennessee.
