So what's up with OM chancellor announcement

[Bdawg]

Seems the police chief has shut the announcement down. Sounds like some hostility around there.

Edit: Heard on SuperTalk about a projector maybe getting knocked over. Sounds like a bad day for OM.

The students and faculty were organizing a protest yesterday. I guess it worked.

OXFORD, Miss. (WTVA) ? The announcement of a new chancellor at Ole Miss apparently has been postponed.

The state College Board had scheduled a 12 p.m. event Friday at The Inn at Ole Miss in what was described as an "important announcement concerning the University of Mississippi chancellor search."

Former Mississippi Commissioner of Higher Education Glenn Boyce was supposed to be introduced as the university's new leader.

However, protesters appeared in the ballroom where the announcement was to be made. One was taken out of the room by police.

Then, the university police chief appeared at the podium about 12:25 p.m. and said there would be no announcement.

WTVA's Wayne Hereford is on campus and will have updates later today on WTVA 9 News.

Riots in Oxford.....Happy Maroon Friday

I suppose it's just the announcement that was delayed, not the actual selection.

Yep. He has officially been named Chancellor. They just didn't want the protest to become violent, so they had the campus police chief say he was cancelling the press conference. This could drag out for a while. I wouldn't be surprised to see something catch on fire before too long. Couple cars turned over maybe. This will be in the news for a while.

That place is s a cesspool, although that's a slap in the face to cesspools
