Glenn Boyce is an American academic administrator. He is currently the Chancellor of the University of Mississippi. Prior to working at Ole Miss, Boyce was commissioner of the Institutions of Higher Learning from 2015 to 2018 and president of Holmes Community College. He has also 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 University of Mississippi Foundation is responsible for paying Boyce a $500,000-a-year salary supplement. The university contributes $300,000 in state funds.[2]
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.[3] The board bypassed the selection process. When the public announcement was made, some students, faculty, and alumni protested; they subsequently accused the university of trying to squelch the protests.[4][5] Candidates for the position who were encouraged to apply by Boyce while he was a consultant for the search have also protested the decision to hire him.[6]
