The University of Mississippi has stopped flying the state flag on its Oxford campus because the banner contains the Confederate battle emblem that some see as a painful reminder of slavery and segregation.
Interim Chancellor Morris Stocks ordered the flag lowered Monday morning.
The action came days after the student senate and other groups adopted a student-led resolution calling for removal of the banner from campus.
