Ole Miss Responds to Data Mining Allegations

In the newest development of the University of Mississippi having involvement with political data mining companies, the Marketing and Brand Strategy Director for the university, Ryan Whittington, stated in an email that the university has neither received nor analyzed any data from Big Data Dolphins Limited or Eldon Insurance Services Limited, neither has the university been involved with any allegations related to entities affiliated with these companies.

“Big Data Dolphins Limited (as tenant) and Eldon Insurance Services Limited (as guarantor) signed a lease agreement for space in the university’s research park, Insight Park, in February 2018,” Whittington stated.
The university’s Research Park and Insight Park can be leased to external entities for the purpose of establishing a research or educational relationship with the university, Whittington stated.
“No research or educational relationship has been established with either of these companies and the space is not occupied,” Whittington stated. “Any proposed research agreement between UM and an external entity is always carefully vetted by the university to ensure compliance with all applicable laws and policies.”
