“No, I don’t think I was aware of that,” said D.E. Magee Jr., a Jackson ophthalmologist, said of the news that Southern Miss had been warned of noncompliance with standards set by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.

I assume that these two persons to whom the article refers are members of the IHL. A lawyer and a doctor. Presumably highly educated. At least that's the way my mother, who never attended college, would have described them - highly educated professionals.

Dang.
