It is absolutely remarkable that anyone would not appreciate what Khayat did for Ole Miss.
The University of Mississippi has been very fortunate for his tenure. The racial overtones of several of these remarks above scare me for the University.
Mississippi could not have stayed in the mud of white superiority and be taken seriously in this nation. Khayat reformed the University in a way that has brought it honor and dignity without throwing away the stature of the past.
Sadly, there are obviously bigots who wish that Ole Miss was still a place for white privilege alone.
Thank God Robert Khayat was not, and is not, such a person.
Today Ole Miss has a future. When this man become President of the University, really, in truth, it had none.
Thank you Kayat! May our next President have half the decency, foresight, courage and capacity that you have proven yourself capable.
