Twenty-seven past presidents of the Ole Miss Alumni Association penned a letter to the State Institutions of Higher Learning board of trustees in disapproval of the decision to not renew Chancellor Dan Jones’ contract after Sept. 14, 2015.
Former leaders of the association ranging from 1976 through last year signed the letter, which is as follows:
As Past Presidents of the Ole Miss Alumni Association, we write this letter to express our deepest disappointment and disagreement with your decision not to extend the contract of Chancellor Dan Jones. Our love for Ole Miss is deep and passionate, and we are appalled that Chancellor Jones is not being allowed to continue to lead our University.
Chancellor Jones and his Administration have led Ole Miss to unprecedented success. Record enrollment, higher academics, stronger faculty satisfaction, historically successful athletics and national recognition in so many areas are proof of his immensely effective leadership. This leadership extends to all campuses including UMMC. The vast and overwhelming majority of Ole Miss alumni and supporters are outraged that Chancellor Jones’ contract is not being extended. This decision deprives us of a leader whose tenure has been nothing short of phenomenal.
While we appreciate your dedicated service to the State of Mississippi, we believe that it is a grave error to allow Chancellor Jones’ contract to expire. We respectfully request that you embrace and acknowledge the passionate support being shown by the Ole Miss Family for Chancellor Jones and extend his contract.
We want and need Dan Jones as our Chancellor, and our voice is united and strong. You have already heard the outcry against your untimely decision, and we are adding ours to that groundswell of voices.
Please accept the fervent support Chancellor Jones is receiving from Ole Miss alumni and supporters. He has led us well, and we need him to continue to serve us.
Please hear and respect our voice.
Sincerely,
Past Presidents of the Ole Miss Alumni Association

It is a fact that nidora is entirely new for the people but this product for weight loss has been under observation and clinical test from last 20 years or
even more time under the guideline of Dr. Because your physique
is usually absorbing fats, workout is the most vital detail you should
be doing. This helps to improve digestion and allows your brain to receive
the “I’m full” signal quicker before you stuff in too
much food.

We are all different, so the only successful way to reach and maintain a healthy weight is to find what
works best for you. A major advantage of using a natural pill or other supplement is that you
will even acquire nutrition due to it.

Normally though it is usually for one thing important plus some thing that is definitely an emergency
While the period “loan shark” has a negative meaning for lots
of people, there is no shame in visiting such a business enterprise for a
