The student Senate at the University of Mississippi has voted to call for removing the Mississippi state flag from university grounds. The flag features the Confederate battle symbol in its upper left corner—the only state flag in the country that continues to use the design. Tuesday night, students voted 33 to 15, with one abstention, to remove the flag. The university chancellor still has the ultimate authority to decide whether the flag is removed; he has not yet said what he will do.
