An organization gets what it inspects, not expects

As I recall, Ole Miss has said it did not want to grow any more, that their current enrollment was optimum. Not an exact quote. Of course, they have a chancellor who understands quality - so perhaps it is not fair to compare them to USM.

Point of fact:

The IHL state "formula" for allocating appropriations to the 8 universities (3 too many might I add !) has been "tweaked" and "manipulated" in the past years to redistribute funds from USM to Mississippi State, primarily, and to a lesser extent, Alcorn. I have seen the data.

In some ways, we at USM think Ole Miss always gains, but the numbers show that MSU is the one being "subsidized."

I guess it is just "coincidence" that the IHL has recently been dominated by more MSU influence with "ties" to other regional and African American delta power blocks.

SFT does not seem to care, and we all know that AKL didn't. Flemming did but look where it got him, not to mention that he was not to the liking of other interest groups and power brokers or that he was often not up to par (got to call a spade a spade).

When can USM have a real president, like Ole Miss.
