On Wednesday, the senate released two proposed resolu- tions to be considered at the special meeting on Thursday. One resolution called for a declaration of no confidence in the Institutions of Higher Learning and the appoint- ment of Glenn Boyce, and the other called for a coalition of the post-secondary insti- tutions governed by the IHL to initiate a constitutional amendment to abolish the IHL. The language in the reso- lution passed by the senate on Thursday night is demon- strably different from the proposed resolutions that BILLY SCHUERMAN / THE DAILY MISSISSIPPIAN were released on Wednesday.
