OXFORD, Miss. The University of Mississippi is among 19 proposed host sites for the 2008 presidential debates.
The
Commission on Presidential Debates announced the list of debate host
applicants, which includes 14 universities or colleges, on Monday. The
commission is scheduled to visit the Ole Miss campus to conduct a site
survey before June, and the final four host sites three for
presidential debates and one for a vice presidential debate are to be
announced next spring.
"We had a preliminary visit from
Martin Slutsky, the executive producer of the commission's debates, to
determine if our campus had the necessary facilities to be a serious
contender," said Andrew Mullins, UM executive assistant to the
chancellor. "He enjoyed his visit very much and encouraged us to
apply."
