Ole Miss students have become increasingly dissatisfied with the prices that Oxford bars are charging for cover. During the pandemic, some students reported seeing covers as high as $60, but typically cover charges on the Square sit between $20 and $40.
Discussion around the topic has increased since a post from the Instagram account “Strike the Bars Oxford” went viral among university students on Jan. 15. In the account’s first post, it called for the Ole Miss student body to “come together over a common cause” and “fight the corruption” of high covers.
It’s unclear how serious the account was intended to be, but nonetheless, it has amassed over 1,500 followers since its creation. The owner of the account was unable to be reached for comment at the time of publication.
