At the request of Chancellor Dan Jones, the university’s Alumni Association has offered a $25,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of two individuals involved in an early morning incident on The University of Mississippi campus.
The University Police Department (UPD) is looking for two men who were seen early Sunday morning near the James Meredith statue, which commemorates the 1962 integration of the university. One of the men was reported to have been wearing camouflage pants. The statue had been draped with a noose and an old Georgia state flag, and the men were heard shouting racial slurs.
Jones condemned the action as contrary to the beliefs and values of the university community. “These individuals chose our university’s most visible symbol of unity and educational accessibility to express their disagreement with our values. Their ideas have no place here, and our response will be an even greater commitment to promoting the values that are engraved on the statue – Courage, Knowledge, Opportunity, and Perseverance.”
Assistant to the Chancellor for Multicultural Affairs Don Cole reiterated the creed that the university stands by. “This is particularly painful because the James Meredith statue has become a gathering place for students to discuss many things, including the tenets of our creed, which calls for dignity and respect for all people.”
UPD has initiated a rigorous investigation and alerted Oxford Police. Anyone with information concerning the investigation is urged to contact UPD at 662-915-7234.

That statue is in the middle of the campus. I imagine that they have plenty of security footage and should be able to at least release pictures.

We can't catch a break when it comes to race relations.

Pathetic how Ole Miss gets used by racists from far and wide for their purposes.....
Equally pathetic to see the righteous indignation in this thread from certain individuals who will turn right around and use homophobic slurs without a second thought on this message board and others.....and not see or care about how profoundly hypocritical they are and how superficial their "concern" about racism is.....

Holy shite, I skimmed through it and didn't notice that. I'm calling bullshite on them actually paying someone 25k for turning in the idiots that put a noose and flag on a statue.

This isn't about race relations at Ole Miss; it's about a couple of guys whose parents failed.
Every school has its share of idiots.
The only people who will view this story as some sort of institutional indictment are the ones who have an agenda.
I'm not exactly sure why it was even posted here, other than to stir the pot.
