| ICC honors students will now automatically be admitted to MSU honors college upon transfer | |
 | Mississippi State University and Itawamba Community College have partnered to make it easier for honors students to matriculate into the honors college at MSU. Itawamba Community College students who are part of the Honors program will now have a pathway toward becoming part of the Judy and Bobby Shackouls Honors College at Mississippi State University. ICC president Jay Allen and Mississippi State Provost and Executive President Judy Bonner signed a memorandum of understanding on Friday which outlined the new process for ICC students transferring to MSU to join the university's honors college. ICC students who are in good standing with the college honors program, have maintained a 3.4 or better GPA and submit a letter of support obtained from the college's honors program director will now be granted direct admission into MSU's honors college. |
| New director named for MSU Riley Center | |
 | The MSU Riley Center Monday announced the hiring of a new executive director, Daniel R. Barnard. Former director Dennis Sankovich retired at the end of March. Barnard has been an associate dean of cultural affairs and director of Bailey Hall Performing Arts Center at Broward College in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., since 2015. He also directed multiple performing arts programs. Barnard says he's looking forward to getting to know Meridian and east central Mississippi and bringing amazing performing arts experiences to Riley Center audiences. |
| ATV safety experts share tips after crash sends child to hospital | |
 | ATV Safety Program Coordinators encourage parents to take a closer look to their kids on the road after an ATV crash sends a 10-year-old child to the hospital Friday night. Sheriff Terry Grassaree said the accident happened on Macon Lynn Creek Road on the west side of Brooksville around 8:30 p.m. Deputies said the driver claims they did not see the ATV in the road. The 4-H ATV Safety Program at Mississippi State University provides rider course training and awareness training. Program Coordinator Brad Staton teaches an ATV program for kids where they build obstacle courses and teach them how to properly operate a machine. He also organizes safety days at schools and oversees the ASI e-course, an interactive computer training. Two of the most dangerous behaviors while driving an ATV is not wearing a helmet and riding on public roads, said Staton. |
| Oktibbeha Young Leaders graduates its first class | |
 | Memory Shuffield found himself answering one question more than others during the first year of the Oktibbeha Young Leaders program. That question, he said, was simple -- what is Oktibbeha Young Leaders? As a member of the program's inaugural class, Shuffield didn't have any prior years' examples to point to. So, he said, he looked to the program and the opportunities it provided him and his 19 classmates to find his answer. The Starkville Rotary Club hosted graduation at the Mill at MSU on Monday for the Oktibbeha Young Leaders class. Marc McGee, the Starkville Rotary Club president who helped establish the Oktibbeha version, said the club wanted to make a program that was focused on high school kids. McGee said the program had been in the works for about three years and came together last year through a mix of Rotary Rodeo funds, a Rotary district grant and scholarships from club members. |
| Andy Gipson seeks a new generation of farmers | |
 | Mississippi's Commissioner of Agriculture and Commerce believes the state should be actively working to bring up a new generation of people involved in agriculture. Andy Gipson, named to the position when predecessor Cindy Hyde-Smith was appointed U.S. Senator by Gov. Phil Bryant in April 2018, spoke to DeSoto County Republicans this month about what he sees as the state's role in agriculture. Gipson, when asked later about what the greatest challenge is to Mississippi agriculture, said it is fostering new farmers to replace the current, yet aging, generation of those who work the land and raise livestock. "Our biggest challenge is to plan for the future, the agricultural future and our young people," Gipson said. "Where is the next generation farmers? Let's find these people in the eighth grade, the ninth grade. We need to get them on a pathway to step in and continue the work of the 35,000 farms across our state and make sure Mississippi agriculture remains the strongest part of our economy." |
| MDAH unveils plans for museum, other improvements of Natchez area historic sites | |
 | A new museum, the restoration of a beloved Mississippi landmark and a renewed focus on the history of Natchez are part of a new initiative launched by the Mississippi Department of Archives and History. MDAH Director Katie Blount recently announced the new heritage tourism initiative at the three state historic sites in and around Natchez -- the Grand Village of the Natchez Indians, Windsor Ruins and Historic Jefferson College. "Our first priority is Windsor Ruins," Blount said. Located less than an hour north of Natchez, Windsor Ruins is one of the state's most iconic sites and one of the area's most popular tourist destinations. Blount said the freestanding columns are in dire need of attention and are in danger of collapse. "They were never meant to be freestanding and pieces of the columns are falling off," Blount said. |
| Mississippi candidates seek cash as deadline approaches | |
 | Candidates for Mississippi governor are asking supporters for cash as another campaign finance reporting deadline approaches. Two former governors, William Winter and Ray Mabus, are putting their names on fundraising letters for fellow Democrat Jim Hood. The fourth-term attorney general is one of nine Democrats seeking the party nomination for the state's highest office. Republican Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves on Monday is releasing an online ad focusing on his family. The two other Republicans in the governor's race, former Mississippi Supreme Court Chief Justice Bill Waller Jr. and state Rep. Robert Foster, are traveling the state. Candidates have a fundraising deadline Tuesday. |
| Secretary of state candidate highlights economic issues | |
| If he's elected secretary of state, Sam Britton pledges to focus squarely on economic development and income growth in the state. Britton is one of two Republicans seeking to become Mississippi's next secretary of state. An accountant with his own firm from Jones County, Britton is completing his first term on the Public Service Commission. As secretary of state, Britton said economic growth would be his major goal. "State elected officials must have a vision of where the state should go," Britton said. Specifically, he wants the average personal income in the state to exceed the national average. The GOP nominee will compete in the general election against Democrat Johnny DuPree, the former mayor of Hattiesburg and the 2011 Democratic gubernatorial nominee. |
| Teacher pay: Candidates weigh in on botched raise; no consensus emerges on possible shortfall | |
 | Mississippi's state politicians, whether running for election or not, all have opinions in how to deal with filling the shortfall created when the Legislature did not appropriate enough funds during the 2019 session to provide the promised $1,500 annual pay raise for all Mississippi teachers due to a miscalculation by the Mississippi Department of Education. There has been much discussion of how to fund the shortfall since Mississippi Today reported last week that the Legislature did not provide adequate funding for the pay raise due to miscalculations. Under state law, the more than 31,000 kindergarten through 12th-grade teachers still will receive their raise, but unless the Legislature provides additional money local school districts will be forced to make up the difference. The shortfall could be as much as $15 million. Both Gov. Phil Bryant and Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves essentially say the additional funds can be provided as a deficit appropriation by the Legislature during the 2020 session, which starts in early January. The pay raise goes into effect on July 1, 2019, so as the 2020 session begins it will mark the mid-point of the first year of the salary bump. |
| Mississippians At Odds Over Confederate Holiday | |
 | It's a breezy Sunday afternoon at Cedar Hill Cemetery in Vicksburg. It's one of the oldest and largest cemeteries in the country. More than 3,000 Confederate soldiers are buried in a section called "Soldiers Rest." Members of the Mississippi division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans are singing the Old Southern anthem, "Dixie." Memorial services like this are a tradition nationwide honoring the memories of those who fought in the war. Vicksburg Sons Commander Ed Campbell says the tradition started in his hometown in the mid-to-late 1800s. In 1861, Mississippi became the second state to secede from the Union. Ultimately 11 states formed the Confederacy and battled the Union over slavery and other grievances. Now more than 150 years later, Mississippi and five other southern states have official observances to honor Confederate soldiers and leaders. Some call it pride. Others call it problematic. |
| He's a felon and a politician. Mississippi says he can't be both, and wants him to pay up. | |
 | Reading the letter, Eddie Carthan could not help feeling he was the victim of a cruel joke. In four curt paragraphs, the state auditor of Mississippi gave the 69-year-old civil rights leader and Holmes County supervisor 30 days to repay all the money he earned as an elected official over the last 3 1/2 years: $154,990.46 in salary, $28,498.64 in interest and $695.02 in staff fees. "This sum represents salary payments received by you in violation of the Constitution of the State of Mississippi, prohibiting you, as a convicted felon, from holding the office of county supervisor," the letter said. Carthan is not a rich man, and it is no secret that he is a convicted felon. More than 40 years ago, Carthan made national headlines when he won an election in the tiny town of Tchula to become the first black mayor in the Mississippi Delta since Reconstruction. He then went up against the town's white elite in an extraordinary battle that ended with him being convicted of felony assault and tried for the murder of one of his political rivals. |
| Senate Judiciary to vote next month on Trump pick to succeed Rosenstein | |
 | The Senate Judiciary Committee will vote early next month on President Trump's nominee to succeed outgoing Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. Committee chairman Lindsey Graham's (R-S.C.) office announced Monday that Transportation official Jeffrey Rosen's nomination to be No. 2 at the department will appear on the panel's agenda on Thursday. But a committee vote on Rosen likely won't take place until next week, on Thursday, May 11. Under committee rules, any nomination can be delayed a week and nominations are routinely held over. The Senate action comes after Rosenstein notified Trump on Monday that he will leave the Justice Department in two weeks, capping roughly two years in the Trump administration. Rosen, who was formally nominated in March, currently serves as deputy secretary of Transportation. He also previously worked in the George W. Bush administration and practiced law at the Kirkland & Ellis law firm. |
| Even In The Robot Age, Manufacturers Need The Human Touch | |
 | Robots have revolutionized auto manufacturing, making plants safer and products more reliable -- and reducing the number of people involved in the process. But walk inside a modern auto plant, and you'll quickly realize that robots have hardly replaced the human touch -- at least, not in some areas. Volvo's car plant in Ridgeville, S.C., which opened last year, provides an object lesson. The facility produces the S60, a luxury sedan, for the U.S. market as well as for export. The beginning of the production line is highly automated; in the first of three large buildings, robots outnumber human workers 300 to 200. But the end of the process is dominated by people. Humans have strengths, compared with robots, in all sorts of workplaces -- not just auto plants. And in general, people and robots work best together, with robots handling dangerous, monotonous jobs and precision work, while people handle tactile work, switch between tasks, make decisions -- and come up with creative ideas for improving things. |
| Adderall possession could lead to fines, jail time | |
 | As the final classes of the semester conclude and exams approach, students are becoming increasingly reliant on Adderall -- a drug prescribed to those diagnosed with ADHD -- for short-term study assistance. While the number of Adderall prescriptions has risen exponentially in the past ten years, college students are prime victims for abuse. According to data from the Addiction Center, college students are two times more likely to abuse Adderall than non-students. University Police Department Detective Lt. Jeremy Cook shared that the act of possessing Adderall without a valid medical prescription could result in serious penalties on campus. Though some students believe UPD escorts K-9 police dogs through the library during the weeks of midterms and finals to catch students illegally in possession of the drug, Cook said UPD does not actively search for students in illegal possession. |
| East Mississippi Community College rebranding program that helps students with tuition costs | |
 | East Mississippi Community College is rebranding it's program that could help students with some tuition costs. The new name will be Tuition Assistance Program, rather than Tuition Guarantee. EMCC's Foundation will spearhead the fundraising efforts. Right now, a variety of organizations give to ensure students from specific counties are helped, but those sources aren't as plentiful as they once were. "Sometimes the federal financial aid just isn't enough, or they may not qualify, and they need that little bit of extra help to meet the bill that's required to be paid to go to school here," said EMCC president Dr. Scott Alsobrooks |
| U. of Alabama nursing student juggles family, academic responsibilities | |
 | This weekend, a Gadsden native is set to graduate from the University of Alabama Capstone College of Nursing with a 4.0 grade point average. Kiari Kinnie won't claim that success just yet, though. Until her final grades are tallied up a few days before commencement, her GPA sits at a 3.998. Still, Kinnie has accomplished much in her time at UA. In addition to her classes, she has worked two jobs, served on a mission trip to Africa, and raised a son she had freshman year. Growing up in Gadsden, Kinnie attended Donehoo and Thompson Elementary Schools, Gadsden and Litchfield Middle Schools, and Gadsden City High School. While in high school, she spent time in the band and color guard, on the basketball team and in JROTC. She also started working at the Waffle House once she turned 16 and continued working there until she moved to Tuscaloosa. During senior year, she visited Alabama's campus and fell in love with the community immediately. Instead of applying to a ton of colleges, she decided to put all her eggs in the Alabama basket and came out with an ROTC scholarship to attend the university. |
| New UT-Knoxville chancellor: A $600K salary, $20K per year for housing, $35K to move | |
 | The newly selected chancellor of the University of Tennessee-Knoxville, Donde Plowman, will be the highest-paid chancellor in the university's history with a base salary of $600,000 annually, a $20,000 annual housing allowance and a one-time moving allowance of $35,000. If approved at Friday's Board of Trustees meeting, Plowman will also become the second woman in the university's history to lead the flagship campus in Knoxville. Plowman is currently the executive vice chancellor and chief academic officer at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. She's also a former UT-Knoxville professor and department head in the Haslam College of Business. Her first day at UT-Knoxville will be July 1, according to the offer letter sent to Plowman from Interim System President Randy Boyd. Plowman signed the offer letter on Friday. |
| Grad student targeted by UGA defends himself | |
 | A University of Georgia philosophy student accused of inciting violence defended himself last week in a six-hour hearing before a judiciary panel of UGA students against allegations of violating the student conduct code. Social media statements by doctoral student Irami Osei-Frimpong were an incitement to violence against white people, according to Andrew Lawrence, a UGA graduate and correspondent for the website Campus Reform. The group's stated mission is to expose college professors' liberal biases. Writing on Facebook that "white people might have to die for the black community to advance" is an incitement to violence, said Lawrence, who called on alumni to withhold money from the university until UGA fired Osei-Frimpong. |
| Texas A&M researchers: Fossil droppings show ancient American ate entire rattlesnake | |
 | Maybe it was just a very hungry person, or it might have been part of a religious experience, but an ancient Native American ate an entire rattlesnake about 1,500 years ago, according to a study led by two Texas A&M University researchers. Elanor Sonderman and Morgan Smith, two doctoral students in the department of anthropology at Texas A&M, along with colleague Crystal Dozier of Wichita State University, have had their findings published about the incident in the current issue of the Journal of Archaeological Science. The team examined coprolites -- the scientific name for fossilized fecal material -- first discovered in the 1960s by an earlier researcher who found them during the construction of the Amistad Dam along the Rio Grande northwest of Del Rio. It is believed the coprolites originated in the Conejo Shelter, an area widely known where early settlers lived. The study was funded by the Summerlee Foundation Texas History Grant and the Texas A&M department of anthropology. |
| U. of Missouri faculty work to make courses more inclusive | |
 | Twelve University of Missouri faculty members who teach courses ranging from plant biology to math to fashion on Monday explained to colleagues how they changed their courses -- and sometimes their thinking --- to be more inclusive of all students. They were part of the first group of the Faculty Institute for Inclusive Teaching, a year-long project sponsored by the MU Division of Inclusion, Diversity and Equity to bring faculty together to explore practices around diversity and inclusiveness in their classrooms. They made presentations during a forum Monday in Townsend Hall. The institute was the idea of Elisa Glick, associate professor of English and Women's and Gender Studies, who said the forum felt like the realization of her initial idea. She said its goal is for all MU students to feel respected and valued. Most of the presenters said they faced some resistance from students or other faculty members for their efforts to diversify. |
| Kevin McDonald, Missouri diversity officer, leaving for U. of Virginia | |
 | Kevin McDonald is headed back to Virginia. The chief diversity officer for the University of Missouri System and MU's vice chancellor for inclusion, diversity and equity will head to the University of Virginia on Aug. 1 for a similar position, MU Chancellor Alexander Cartwright announced Monday afternoon. From 2007 to 2010, McDonald served as vice president for equity and inclusion at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. MU will appoint an interim leader in the next few months and launch a national search for a permanent vice chancellor in the fall. McDonald said he will stay at MU and the UM System until late July. His positions were created in response to student demands that arose from fall 2015 campus protests. |
| New research finds discrepancies in estimates of food insecurity among college students | |
 | A group of researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign says more research is needed to accurately estimate the number of college students facing food insecurity and hunger, as awareness of the problem grows and lawmakers and colleges grapple with it. The researchers analyzed multiple studies on food insecurity and found discrepancies in the way hunger is measured. Those discrepancies cast doubt on estimates of the share of college students who are reportedly hungry or food insecure, according to a paper the researchers, Cassandra J. Nikolaus, Breanna Ellison and Sharon Nickols-Richardson, published in PLOS ONE last week. Colleges and universities, often with limited financial resources, increasingly are taking on food insecurity and other basic-needs problems for their students, said Nikolaus, and it's important to make sure the resources go to the students who are most in need. |
| Swarthmore students sit in at fraternity house after sexual assault allegations | |
| For three days, students at Swarthmore College, the elite institution known for its progressive politics, have occupied a picturesque stone house in the middle of campus, the quarters of one of the college's two fraternities. Activists in the building say that it is the site of rampant sexual violence. The students have refused to leave until college administrators meet their demands: disband the fraternities and take away the two campus buildings that they lease to the groups. The sit-in is part of a long battle around attempts to kick the Greek system off campus, but more broadly, it is about officials' handling of rape cases. Even the existence of fraternities at Swarthmore might surprise outsiders. The academically demanding liberal arts college with Quaker roots, one of three institutions in the prominent Tri-College Consortium, does not seem like it would breed a strong Greek system. Two fraternities and a single sorority certainly is certainly not a robust setup, but accusations of sexual misconduct have followed the fraternities for many years. |

| Mississippi State earns No. 7 overall seed in NCAA Men's Tennis Championship | |
 | Some had their arms folded. Some had their legs crossed. Others were leaned back in their chairs. A few of them were doing all three. Been there, done that. Mississippi State men's tennis players sat as a team in the film room inside the Leo Seal Jr. Football Complex on MSU's campus Monday evening. Two projectors displayed the NCAA Men's Tennis Championship selection show on the big screens in front of them. Some of the players groaned when another interview with Andy Katz and a random player or coach from another school delayed the announcement of their draw. Finally, toward the end of the show, "No. 7 Mississippi State (22-3)" appeared on the screen. The players collectively clapped, but the celebratory feeling was fleeting. They didn't put their hands together for long. They knew it was time to get to work. The back-to-back SEC Champion Bulldogs are the seventh-overall seed in the tournament. Mississippi State will host at least the first two rounds of the tournament this weekend on May 3 and 4 at A.J. Pitts Tennis Centre, where the team is a perfect 10-0 this season. |
| Bulldogs to open tennis regional vs. Alabama State | |
| Mississippi State head coach Matt Roberts didn't need a selection show to tell him who his team would open the 2019 NCAA tournament with. Senior Nuno Borges -- the No. 2 singles player in the country -- felt the same. "I think we already expected it a little bit," Borges admitted. After taking home the SEC Championships title April 21 over Tennessee, the Bulldogs were officially notified of their postseason fate Monday afternoon. MSU is the No. 7 overall seed and will host Alabama State Friday at the AJ Pitts Tennis Centre in Starkville to open its tournament run. Joining them in the regional are Tulane and South Alabama. If MSU advances to the Super Regional, it would host TCU, Arizona State, Miami or Harvard. |
| Bulldog tennis selected to host NCAA 1st, 2nd Rounds | |
| For the second year in a row, the Mississippi State men's tennis squad has been selected as a host for the 2019 NCAA First and Second Rounds. The two-time SEC Tournament Champion Bulldogs (22-3) -- who earned the No. 7 national seed in this year's NCAA Championship -- will host the event May 3-4, at the A.J. Pitts Tennis Centre on campus. Play will begin Friday, May 3, with the first match pitting second-seeded Tulane (14-12) against third-seeded South Alabama (18-6) at 10 a.m. CT. Following the match between the Green Wave and Jaguars, seventh-ranked MSU will face Alabama State (12-9), scheduled to start no earlier than 1 p.m. The winners of the Friday contests will then face each other in the second-round matchup on Saturday, May 4, at 1 p.m. for the right to advance to the newly-formatted NCAA Round of 16, which will take place on eight campus sites May 10-11. |
| Mississippi State, Ole Miss men's tennis back in NCAAs | |
| Mississippi State and Ole Miss men's tennis teams are both back as part of the NCAA Championship Tournament again this year. The Bulldogs are hosting for the second straight year as the No. 7 national seed while the Rebels are heading to California for the fourth consecutive year as the No. 3 seed at the UCLA Regional. "It's great that we have a chance to play at home again," said three-time SEC Player of the Year Nuno Borges. "It's always special when we have the home crowd and already know so many people in the crowd. They're all friends now and it's special to play for them." The Bulldogs have won back-to-back SEC championships and have a 22-3 overall record this season, including an 11-1 mark in conference play. State enters the NCAAs riding a 12-match winning streak. "We're going to stay focused on the route and not the fruit and take it one day at a time," said MSU coach Matt Roberts. |
| Mississippi State climbs back up SEC Standings after sweeping Georgia | |
| Let's let the SEC's all-time hits leader and current SEC Player of the Week set the tone for this week's edition of the Bulldog Brushback. "For everyone that was panicking out there, I hope you feel better now," senior center fielder Jake Mangum said. There were doubters after Mississippi State went to Fayetteville and got swept by the Arkansas Razorbacks. The Bulldogs responded by going undefeated last week with a Governor's Cup victory over No. 15 Ole Miss and a series sweep of No. 6 Georgia. The Dogs (36-9) are tied with LSU and Ole Miss for second in the SEC West with a 13-8 record. They travel to College Station this week for a three game series against a team nipping at their heels, the No. 17 Texas A&M Aggies (30-15-1, 11-9-1 SEC). There's no time to rest during the SEC season. Every week there is an opponent on the schedule that poses problems. Here are some reasons why Mississippi State should feel comfortable heading into their next SEC series. |
| Mississippi State's Jake Mangum earns SEC Player of the Week | |
| Senior Jake Mangum earned Southeastern Conference Player of the Week on Monday (April 29) after helping No. 6 Mississippi State to a perfect 4-0 week against ranked opponents and becoming the SEC's career hits leader during a series sweep over then-No. 3 Georgia this past weekend at Dudy Noble Field. It is the first SEC Player of the Week honor in Mangum's career and his second weekly award from the conference. The Pearl, Mississippi native earned SEC Freshman of the Week on April 11, 2016. Mangum became the SEC's career hits leader with his second of three hits in the middle game of the series with Georgia. The senior reached base three times in each game versus the Bulldogs, while finding himself on base twice in his fourth-straight Governor's Cup victory on Tuesday. Mangum also scored a run in each game of the week. |
| Report: Will Wade's name, claim of $300K 'deal' for Naz Reid emerge in NCAA corruption trial | |
 | For the third time, beleaguered LSU men's basketball coach Will Wade found his name dragged into a federal investigation into college basketball on Monday, with evidence suggesting he'd tried to broker payments for a top recruit. This time, a federally convicted former Arizona assistant claimed Wade told him about a $300,000 deal to land star forward Naz Reid in a secretly recorded FBI video shown in federal court. Emanuel "Book" Richardson mentioned Wade's supposed deal while explaining recruiting battles in the Southeastern Conference in a secretly recorded conversation with a since-convicted financial manager named Munish Sood and a pair of undercover FBI agents, according to CBS Sports. |
| U. of South Carolina's Williams-Brice upgrades include feature like Dallas Cowboys have | |
 | South Carolina's athletic department moved one step closer Monday to spending $22.5 million to renovate Williams-Brice Stadium, and it is probably just the start of the money that eventually will be spent on the Gamecocks' football team's home turf. "This may be the beginning of changes at Williams-Brice," athletics director Ray Tanner said. The university's board of trustees gave Phase II approval to the $22.5 million project, which was first unveiled in September, at a Monday meeting. The jewel of the project is the 2001 Club, which will offer a field level view of the Gamecocks entering the playing field on Saturdays through a glass corridor. The setup will be similar to the Dallas Cowboys' entrance at AT&T Stadium. Other renovations meant to boost South Carolina's recruiting efforts will be made to the first floor of the Crews Building. |
| Gamecocks AD Ray Tanner receives contract extension | |
 | Ray Tanner has been proactive in making sure the coaches under his stewardship are happy and secure. The South Carolina Board of Trustees is happy that their athletic director has been successful at doing that, and on Monday approved a two-year extension of Tanner's contract through June 2024. The extension does not include a raise; Tanner's salary was already scheduled to rise to $1 million per year starting July 1. The contract had been on the agenda and isn't affected by the saga surrounding USC's vacant presidency. The BOT was expected to vote on a replacement for the retiring Pastides last week, but following a campus backlash over leading candidate Robert Caslen, the board voted to reopen the search while naming USC Upstate Chancellor Brendan Kelly as interim president. |
