Vol State, as it is popularly known, markets itself to the Nashville community as well as its home area some 30 miles (48 km) to the northeast, but must be cautious as it does so, lest it interefere with the court-ordered desegregation of historically-black Tennessee State University. Also, the former Nashville State Technical Insititute (now Nashville State Community College) has now been upgraded to full community college status with a mandate to serve the Nashville community, and all three institutions are operated by the same body, the Regents.
