Several media outlets reported on Wednesday night that negotiations are taking place between Chancellor Dan Jones and the Institutions of Higher Learning Board of Trustees.
Former Mississippi Gov. William Winter, an Ole Miss alumnus, told the Associated Press Wednesday he’s acted as an intermediary between Jones and the board.
“I was simply appealing to the best judgment of everyone concerned,” Winter said.
Alan Perry, vice president of the board, said it’s possible some kind of settlement could be reached, according to the Associated Press.
Caron Blanton, director of communications for the IHL, told The Daily Mississippian Wednesday evening she did not have any knowledge of negotiations occuring in Oxford or Jackson.
