The University of Tennessee System implemented Safety Policy SA0575 (Programs for Minors) to promote a safe environment for minors participating in university-sponsored activities. Because of the unique nature of our mission and the multitude of programs we offer, the University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture (UTIA) is taking a proactive, comprehensive approach to Programs for Minors. UTIA has established its own policy and guidelines in support of Safety Policy SA0575.
