Tennessee's University Plane Reached Dulles for APLU Presidents Week

Tennessee's university flight operation sent N794UT to Dulles on June 16, the opening day of APLU's Council of Presidents Summer Meeting in Washington. APLU lists UT Knoxville Chancellor Donde Plowman as the council's 2026 chair, making the presidents-meeting calendar the clearest public explanation for the compact D.C. trip.

The Senate Commerce Committee's June 18 college-sports markup sat in the same policy week, but the APLU timing is the direct higher-ed administrative hook. The flight record does not identify who traveled.
