I can see the reasoning— in-state, IHL guy, knowledgeable about jucos, but Ole Miss really missed an opportunity in not getting Howard out of Robert Morris.

Stuff like this happens in the absence of real journalism. Our eunuch news paper in this state would have a field day with how that went down if they had... well.. the balls.

After saying “no thanks” to Condoleezza Rice, Bill Gates, Robert Robins, the president of Stanford, and John F Kennedy- interesting to see them go the Glenn Boyce route. He must have done one helluva job at Holmes CC.

So wait, is this really how this whole thing played out.... They have been without a chancellor for 2 years, form the committee, spends 2 day doing a "search" and interviewing, and then just hire the guy heading up the search?

I haven't really kept up with it but is this true?

He really has done a terrific job there. Under his leadership they are now considered the #1 community college in Holmes County.

So the Harvard of the south ends up their exhaustive search for chancellor with a juco guy?

Can someone explain to me the IHL board like I am a 17ing dubmass? (Big stretch, I know...) I don't understand how this happens at all.

It's a marginally better appointment than the political guys who were lining up for the job, but yeah, this hire was an inside job. I this happened to MSU, I'd be pissed.

Remember Doc Foglesong? Basically hired same way (not making final round and pulled out of obscurity). Boyce also at least knows and understands higher ed.

I was so hoping they would hire XenaReb's husband. I guess he will just have to run for the Senate against Cindy Hyde Smith now

"One of Boyce's first moves, per multiple sources, will be to bring Chip Pickering aboard in a vice chancellor role." Wow! Another Hugh Freeze type. Chip, the former member of Congress who touted his service as a Baptist missionary and family values man that trotted his wife and four young sons out for every photo opportunity possible in order to get elected, who then had an adulterous affair with a woman whose business interests were regulated by a Congressional committee that Pickering served on.

I am convinced that Boyce is a caretaker chancellor who was hired to groom Pickering to eventually take over as chancellor. I am glad the IHL board is full of Ole Miss hacks who are so focused on controlling Ole Miss that they leave MSU alone.

Pickering also was charged with simple assault over a dispute he had with coach of his kid’s opposing soccer team. Somebody obviously forgot to tell that youth league soccer coach who Chip’s daddy is.

The coach he assaulted was a MSU Alumni who was wearing a neck brace at the time because he had surgery a couple of weeks before.
Who assaults someone wearing a neck brace?
