The Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning (IHL System), the Mississippi Public Universities Board responsible for policy and financial oversight of the eight public institutions of higher learning located in the state of Mississippi, has misled the University of Mississippi community, allegedly misappropriated in excess of $100,000 in Ole Miss Foundation funds, and corruptly plans to name Dr. Glenn Boyce Chancellor of the University of Mississippi.

Dr. Boyce may be a fine man, but the process of searching for, and ultimately selecting, the new Chancellor of the University of Mississippi was drenched in cronyism during a time in which transparency was required.

For those who don't know, Boyce was a paid consultant for this very search, which included names from esteemed universities across the country, in addition to established businessmen and politicians. Following a leak from the IHL which eliminated nearly all of the leading candidates at the time, Boyce will likely be announced as Chancellor in the coming days. According to multiple sources, Mississippi politician Chance Pickering, rumored to be an early candidate himself, will be named to a prominent role within the University. The fix was in.

The Ole Miss community needs to join together to stand for transparency. Join me in moving for the removal of Mr. Boyce as Chancellor of the University of Mississippi.
