It appears the students at Ole Miss are attempting to make the university a "sanctuary city" for illegal aliens. Read the proposed resolution for yourself.
Oddly enough, this proposed resolution was not reported in the Daily Mississippian.
Update at 11:30 PM: Chancellor Vitter issued this statement on the Ole Miss website:
“I am aware of the resolution drafted by a few Associated Student Body Senators and some student organization presidents calling for the university to become a sanctuary for undocumented members of our community. Leaders from our Associated Student Body have informed us that the resolution has been pulled from tonight’s agenda and will not be discussed.
“As chancellor, my responsibility is to administer and operate the university within applicable Federal and state laws, as well as the policies and procedures established by the Board of Trustees of Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning.
“I do believe it is an important part of the educational process — and central to our UM Creed — for students to discuss the difficult issues of our day, and it is equally important that all voices be a part of that healthy debate. I can assure you that we will also continue to uphold our legal responsibilities and our university policies.”

Fitzgerald just scored again!
Is this a joke?
Apparently these idiots haven't studied the history of the last time UM tried to defy federal law. The results then and this time will be the same. The Feds will win. These fools will be embarrassed.
Is "Judge" Wilson going to recuse himself from all State of Mississippi cases since he has his head up Phil Bryant's ass? Surely he is aware of fundamental judicial ethics?
Someone(s) needs a behind paddlin'.

1. As an Ole Miss alum: this is the cherry on top of the sundae that was the Egg Bowl. Thankfully it was pulled.
2. Guess who Austin Powell's daddy is.
Hopefully these geniuses will matriculate out of the state before they do any REAL damage....
Hope this is a joke.
Fitzgerald just scored again! Mullens is smoking his second cigar.
Oops! My bad. Don't dis the advertisers particularly if one of them is th Gov.
I am shocked students at JSU would be so uninformed, the State should stop wasting money on these liberal schools.....oh, this was from Ole Miss!
Chris McDaniel warned us that this was the path being chosen, but the RINOs wouldn't listen. Now Mississippi's chickens have come home roost.
The new Chancellor has discussed this with the ASB president. Put out a release on it late today. Well written, well said by the new chancellor.
His statement was that the university was a place for free expression by students, but that the University would follow all state and federal law. The ASB has pulled the resolution from discussion by the council.
Chancellor Vitter said it much better than I have paraphrased here, but he should be commended for bringing these students into reality.
This is happening on other college campuses. Vandy has the same thing going on, to name one.
When will Mississippi State people learn how to spell their coach's name?
ASB Senator Chris McDaniel got the proposal killed.
^Chris McDaniel isn't part of the ASB... He is most definitely a state senator who ran against Thad Cochran for U.S. Senate in 2014.
12:03, if they paid me as much as they pay coach Mullen then they could spell my name with all the letters backwards. Oh wait, that's what they already do to one of those 3 real small state funded universities that lowered the intelligence level to get in so they would have a place to sleep, eat and play sports.
As far as UM, I hope this is a joke. But what would you expect from a bunch of liberals. State's liberal side will attempt this next.
Geez, y'all are all upset about a group of students with no power to do what they propose, but you aren't upset with a President Elect who says a President can't break the law and who tweets things that are bald face lies.
UM, '68. Please tell me I dreamed this. I don't know how much more PC I can take. I'm already way above the accepted daily alcohol consumption for a 71 year old man.
12:03...It's not the State people who can't spell Mullen's name. It's Ole Myth band-wagoners and a few other assorted imbeciles. They have bigger problems than spelling, though. They just now realized Fitzgerald is their daddy.
KF, you lumped 20,000 students in with about a dozen snowflakes that proposed that resolution with your reference to "...THE students at...". Your ability to distort facts is, unfortunately, rearing its ugly head again.
Sorry, but you're wrong. MSU fans regularly refer to their coach as Mullens or Mullins here and on other boards. It's quite common and quite amusing.
Even LSU fans get it right more often, and that's just embarrassing.
I heard Bass Pro is having a sale on maroon Columbia PFG Boneheads with "DAN MULLINS FOR PRESIDENT" stenciled on the back. Better hurry before all the XXXLs are gone!
“As chancellor, my responsibility is to administer and operate the university within applicable Federal and state laws..."
EXCEPT FLYING THE STATE FLAG.
This sends a message to the entitlement generation that you can pick and chose what laws you want to follow and the ones you don't.
This guy is a spineless PC pxxxx more than Kyaht was.
Student Senate is just following the exemplary example of OM's athletic department. Laws? Rules? Why should those matter?
Hey Mullenz, looks like you need a light for that cigar. Chad Kelly can help you out based on his weed smoking picture. Freezus Christ sure is a good quarterback coach and leader.
UM is a Beaver Sanctuary already right? And I'm not talking about ladies. I'm talking about a coach who cheats and lies and gets worse every year but somehow is more loved by the Bears than ever even as the program crumbles into nothingness.
Why are these carpers staying at Ole Miss? It is still a free country, and if you don't like the college's (legal) policies, there are plenty of other colleges they can attend. I can pretty much assure these people that "you will not be missed". Also, those sanctuary colleges probably will accept you with open arms.
Anyone remember the good old days when a school actually taught students? Looks like the kids are running the school and the supposedly grown ups are just along for the free ride.
"This guy is a spineless PC pxxxx more than Kyaht was."
Come to sckool at Misipy State is Starksvill! We got Dan Mulenns at head coche and ain't got no spinless admins like Kyaht or Vitur. And ya don't even need to know how ta spel!
Free pair of marune Carrhart work pants and a Under Armor MSU ball cap if you show up b4 Crimuss!
As the grandfather of two current students at Ole Miss and the friend and acquaintance of many Ole Miss students and alumni, let me please present the following truth. As with the Black Bear, Dixie, and the renaming of any streets, buildings or other entities named for Civil War persons, the administration and the press are LYING to you by insinuating that any where near the majority of Ole Miss students are in concert with this left wing, radical, globalist crap!!
Anyone else had to read the post of 9:38 several times before they realized something different? That is what I get for getting my education in Ms.
Yes, let's aid and abet someone committing an illegal act and refuse to follow federal law. That sounds like a smart, well thought out idea.
I have an idea too. Let's increase the tuition of each UM student by say $ 15,000-20,000 each, so we can provide free housing, food, education, and medical care to each of these "undocumented" people now living on campus.
Or even better, maybe the generous people proposing this petition could just let 3 or 4 "undocumented" people move into their apartment(s) rent free and feed and clothe them for the rest of their college life. And then if the feds show up and ask questions, they can just refuse to answer and impede and interfere with a federal investigation. Are you petitioners all agreeable to doing this ? Show us the way.
University - the word literally means "all together". The purpose of the university was to teach the truth of knowledge to all comers and turn them ("vertere") to the proper direction ("uni"). It is basically the opposite of diversity, but these days the education establishment has destroyed the concept of University. Now there are "multiple truths" and "no one is wrong". Schools have provided "safe spaces" where students can shut out anything that dares challenge their opinions or beliefs. Accusation rules and due process is a joke.
This is not directed at Ole Miss (this sh*t goes on in Starkville and Hattiesburg, too) as much as all Universities. We need to reform this BS STAT.
How did that removing the old state flag bit do for UM? Not too good....they still haven't hired, I mean recruited( did I say hired?) a full blown AA football team they were wishing for. They still have some salt grains in the black pepper....... BUT, remove that nasty old flag and the football players will swarm to UM! NOT
I can't quite understand the need for "safe spaces". I thought the job of a college was to prepare the students for life. How does shielding them from reality come into play? I am beginning to understand why other countries have passed us in education. We now have day care instead of colleges. It is time for the kids to grow up.
Headline misleading.....you make it sound like the whole student body supported this....but it was a couple of people on the ASB senate that proposed it, and it got removed.
Just want to thank Ole Miss for providing its end zone a safe space and sanctuary for MSU's football team. Much like Syrian refugees, those guys had seen some rough times this year. But you bears just threw the doors wide open and let them make themselves right at home.
So thank you for that.
This was a handful of students with no clue, who were reeled back in by the grownups. The issue is dead. It only got as much as publicity as it did when McDaniel inserted himself for his own publicity.
This safe haven for illegals is crap. Let them go through the processes that our ancestors and current legal immigrants have gone through. I also received an email from an activist group asking me to demand that our Mayor make the City of Jackson an illegal sanctuary.
1:54, be assured we all know who the egomaniacal Senator Chris McDaniel is, and the few that still follow him like lemmens. The point of the comment that drug you out of bed today was that the "Senator" finally found a place that he must think he has influence - the ASB at UM. He is taking credit for getting this killed and in his normal selfengrandizement he is the single source for insuring that the populace was stirred up enough to kill the proposal.
I am pretty damned sure that Chancellor Vitter didn't need Chris's involvement to lead to the discussion and eventual removal of this petition from the ASB calendar. But we all want Chris to feel important - his ego hasn't been stroked lately. And with Melanie being involved in all her other activities, probably nothing else has been stroked either.
It seems to me, that advocating illegal acts, such as those being being advocated here, should suffice to make one a Deportable Alien.
Not sure how attacking Chris McDaniel can divert attention from the idiocy that goes on every day at TSUN. But, nice try.
They can put up tents and let them camp-out in the grove.
That's a novel idea - making Jackson a safe-haven for criminals.
"A handful of students with no clue"? Right. And it was a handful of students with no clue who initiated a movement that later resulted in getting rid of the mascot and a confederate banner and Dixie.
When you have a liberal enclave of leaders, all they need to stampede them is a 'handful of bitchers'. A community activist needs very little encouragement.
Cry Bullies....
Vitter would literally fall all over him self with glee if an idea like this one were to have legal wings. He'd piss himself. He'd click his heels together and have an immediate conference call with twenty of his liberal 'peers' across the country.
The reason the chancellor's handlers shit-canned this idea had nothing at all to do with wanting to follow the law or a decision to stifle the notion of a sanctuary space. They knew the idea was 'half baked' so they sent it back to the oven. They also knew the College Board would fire Vitter before midnight next Wednesday if he didn't send the petition back for further work.
