Jones was appointed chancellor of the University of Mississippi on July 1, 2009, after serving in several positions at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, including CEO of the medical center for six years. His tenure as chancellor is marked by the highest enrollment to-date at the university, with over 23,000 students enrolled for the fall 2014 semester, and endowments over $100 million for three years running (2012-2014). Under his leadership, the university has worked to be more inclusive through the development of a vice-chancellor for diversity and inclusion, while Jones has publicly denounced hate speech on campus. His chancellorship is also marked by continued image changes to the university begun by his predecessor, Robert Khayat, including the appointment of a new mascot, banning of the playing of "From Dixie with Love" and a change in the official use of 'Ole Miss', now relegated to athletics.
