Ole Miss Chancellor not renewed

Re: Ranch - what's the scoop on this?
The egos on both sides are too big. Jones has admitted that about himself. I and many people agree about Jones being a major cause of bad publicity for Ole Miss. He has mishandled many situations that ended up bringing more embarrassment on Ole Miss. I believe a compromise is going to take place that enables Jones to remain as Chancellor.

Re: Ranch - what's the scoop on this?
Wm Winter is working a reinstatement as we speak. Now we will see what a dictateship is really like with no means ever to control . I know the big liberal givers will Ante up but they will lose too. Prepare for "we are MOT Ole Miss" to be quick to follow. I am ashamed of how we do business. "Behind closed doors" at my alma Mater. Sad commentRy but CHF gets to use the university jet ! Yee haw ! Honor is not with us.

Re: Ranch - what's the scoop on this?
very disappointing...so close to nailing this guy and he wiggles off the hook
even if he agrees to two years, he can do a lot of damage in two years
this will just embolden him further...you can kiss "ole miss" and "rebels" good bye
and Bjork and Freeze seem to be pretty much lapdogs.....libs win, I lose
so anyone looking for two in the South Cub

Take your blinders off and look past "Ole Miss" and "rebels", which are NOT in jeopardy, as you see it.
Re: Ranch - what's the scoop on this?
Can someone please expound on all the myriad ways that Jones has "embarrassed Ole Miss" and the "damage" he has inflicted in his tenure? Try to make these objective failures, if possible. Examples such as Black bear and FDWL do not really apply as the majority of fans and alumni agree with those decisions. If you are able to do this, then clearly you know more than the IHL, who still has yet to provide a legitimate reason for dismissing him. I realize that the results at the Oxford campus are not in question, but there is still no concrete reasoning provided about UMMC either.
As for his offer rejection...who in their right mind would take this offer!?
IHL: You're fired in 6 months
DJ: Why?
IHL: no good reason
DJ: Well that's silly, I would like to keep my job.
IHL: Okay you can stay. But you're fired in 2 years and you have to publicly apologize to us.
DJ: ....

OM will always be under close scrutiny for any news involving race, regardless of who is chancellor. Things like protesting Obama's election and hanging a noose on the Meredith statue are just indicators that a) there are still some (albeit a minority) racist and ignorant students and b) the press will eat up any story that they can use to remind everyone of OM's past.
If anything Jones has taken steps to alleviate that by trying to distance the school from certain traditions/symbols that detract from our progress without sacrificing positive elements of the school's history.

jones brings more disgrace to OM:

"This shameful and ignorant act is an insult to all Americans and a violation of our most strongly-held values," Attorney General Eric Holder said... "By taking appropriate action to hold wrongdoers accountable, the Department of Justice is sending a clear message that flagrant infringements of our historic civil rights will not go unnoticed or unpunished."
"It has taken time, but the process has worked and I'm confident justice will be done," Ole Miss Chancellor Dan Jones said in a statement Friday.

I guess I missed it...From your post, where's the "disgrace" you claim Dan Jones brought to Ole Miss? I see none, here.
Rather than minimizing the damage
As poor judgement,(I'm betting alcohol related ) he has to make a federal case of it. With that kind of leadership, it does need to end. Unless the whole fraternity is a branch of the KKK their removal was over reactionary . You don't burn down a barn to get rid of the rats anymore than you fire the whole adminstration over the actions of the chancellor. He undoubtedly surpasses Gerald turner in self adoration.

Re: I was on the fence, now Jones needs to go.
Jones has forgotten the role of the university is to teach(that's what the IHL board wants) and Jones wants the University of Mississippi to be the new leader in pushing Mississippi to the Democratic Party. there is no movement by the IHL board to take the medical school away from Ole Miss. So far I'd say more people I know here want Jones out than want him to stay.

Re: I was on the fence, now Jones needs to go.
Please give the details of when, where and why Dan Jones ever incited racial conflicts. Good luck.
Re: I was on the fence, now Jones needs to go.
His over reaction in the Meredith incident is plainer than the nose on your face. That should have need defused but no he had to holler for more roper playing into media's hands . A child could have handled that better. Sure reprimand the doers but total overkill on the rest of the bs . That's not the sole reason he should go but it typifies his ego for attention and love for media attention even if negative for om.

Don't hold your breath expecting a response from this one. He's already been banned from the OM Spirit free board for making the same ridiculous and stupid claims there.
Re: I was on the fence, now Jones needs to go.
What do you believe constituted an overreaction in this case? I'm not saying you're wrong but I don't live in Oxford so maybe I don't know the full story.
Do you think the reaction to the frat party chant at Oklahoma was an overreaction as well?

Re: I was on the fence, now Jones needs to go.
Jones did the right thing and directly addressed the incident letting the world know there is zero tolerance for the type behavior. Please join us in the 21st century.
Overreaction? What should Jones have done? Pretend it didn't happen? Downplay the incident? Sweep it under the rug? The media would have a field day with that because that's what they would EXPECT Ole Miss (and the state of MS) to do, when considering it's past. You're worried about negative attention? Sweep it under the rug and see how fast Sharpton is in Oxford leading the charge.

Re: A Partial List of Racial Incidents
That's quite a list...Which one(s) did Dan Jones incite? I'll pick one...Was it the incident of students yelling racial slurs while "protesting" Obama's re election? How was this incited by Jones? At this point I starting to believe that you're being deliberately obtuse with your reasoning. Trolling?
Re: A Partial List of Racial Incidents
Give him enough time and he'll blame Chancellor Jones for the deteriorating state of race relations in the entire state of Mississippi. He did on the Spirit free board.
Re: I was on the fence, now Jones needs to go.
It only labeled some drunkass kids for life, that's all. Was it dumb? Sure, but not expulsion. A university says they want all open minds but it's act sully only open to their way . Hypocrisy r them. You can chastise them but that's it. They didn't speak for the university so what dumbasses thought they did?

Re: I was on the fence, now Jones needs to go.
I would love to hear your perspective on the Oklahoma incident...Using your logic, the president of the University of OK should have done nothing more than chastise the SAE's because, although they were singing a racist song, the frat does not speak for the university. SMH
Put the blame where it belongs...These students labeled themselves when they committed these repugnant acts and you find fault with the university.
