		The State Senate rejected four qualified, competent while males appointees in July based on the group's lack of diversity and Fordice's attempt to force his will on a Legislature that is not at all prepared to surrender power to this or any other governor.
		For the Senate to again refuse to confirm Fordice's College Board appointees would be an exercise in petty politics and way across the line of legitimate Senate oversight.
		The Senate Education Committee's job is to rule on the qualifications of the appointees based upon Mississippi law.

		The Mississippi Department of Archives and history was created in 1902 by Mississippi State Senate Bill No. 26, Chapter 52, Laws of 1902, which states its objects and purposes as follows: "There shall be for the State of Mississippi a department of archives and history.
		Both Mississippi's and Alabama's state archives were created in the same year, in an atmosphere in which these southern states sought to preserve and defend their territorial and antebellum heritage as the veterans of the Civil War were beginning to die off.
		Over its history, therefore, the record of Mississippi state government activity that it accumulated and preserved was constructed in a complex dialectic that included—as we would expect—local political demands, national political demands (and incentives), and especially the influence of growing professionalization in academic history and archival science.
