  University of Mississippi Medical Center v. Hughes, 765 So.2d 528 (Miss. 2000)
Implicit in the student's contract with the university upon matriculation is the student's agreement to comply with the university's rules and regulations, which the university is entitled to modify so as to properly exercise its educational responsibility.
In 1984, the university changed the academic requirements to mandate that students maintain a 2.00 average on all work attempted in the student's particular major together with the original requirement that a 2.00 cumulative average on all courses attempted at the university be maintained.
The University asserts that, in holding that the University's actions were arbitrary and capricious, the chancery court impermissibly intruded upon the University's academic authority.

Before Dr. Heber Simmons arrived in Mississippi, children needing dental care had only one option — to have their teeth taken care of by their parents’ dentist.
However, the ones who came here weren’t trained in the state because a dental school did not exist and a postdoctoral specialty training program was not even in the foreseeable future.
The Mississippi Dental Association along with the State Legislature worked hard to establish a School of Dentistry in the state and pediatric dentistry was an essential component of the original departmental structure when the school opened in 1975.
