Thousands Protest Plan to Oust University Chief in Mississippi

Raising handwritten signs and clutching scripts for protest chants, more than 2,500 people on Wednesday demonstrated at the University of Mississippi to resist last week’s unexpected decision to oust the school’s chancellor, Daniel W. Jones. In what officials here described as one of the largest protests in the university’s history, students, employees and other supporters of Dr. Jones criticized the plan to change leaders as wrapped in secrecy and threatening to the future of a place that has often been central to the image of this state.
