Glenn Boyce is the Chancellor of the University of Mississippi. Prior to working at Ole Miss, Boyce coached football at three separate private academies, including Madison-Ridgeland Academy,Canton Academy and Tri-County Academy.
History
Boyce was appointed chancellor of Ole Miss on October 3, 2019.[1]. He served as commissioner of the Institutions of Higher Learning from 2015 to 2018, and as president of Holmes Community College. In the 80s and 90s, Boyce worked for all-white Madison-Ridgeland Academy, as well as two other mostly segregated schools, Canton Academy and Tri-County Academy. The IHL omitted Boyce's work at the segregated academies in their press releases and did not provide his resume to the press.[2] The University of Mississippi Foundation is responsible for paying Boyce a $500,000-a-year salary supplement. The university contributes $300,000 in state funds.[3] The hiring was especially controversial since Boyce had served as a consultant involved in the University's search for a new Chancellor before taking the job himself.[4] The board bypassed the selection process. When the public announcement was made, protestors say that moveable partitions were used to make the room smaller and university police and officials cited the fire code in order to remove protesters.[5][6]
