Thousands gather on Mizzou quad after UM system president resigns [Prez cut Planned Parenthood]
St Louis Post Dispatch ^ | 11/9/15 | Stephen Deere, Koran Addo

Posted on 11/09/2015 10:42:31 AM PST by SoFloFreeper

University of Missouri System President Timothy W. Wolfe resigned on Monday at an emergency Board of Curators meeting following weeks of protests over his leadership, a well-publicized hunger strike from a student and promises from football players that they would not participate in team activities until he stepped down.

.....members of the group Concerned Students 1950 pumped their fists in the air, shouting: "They said we couldn't do this," and "I believe we have won."

Concerned Students 1950 organized many recent protests. The group is named after the first year that black students were admitted to Mizzou. The group refused to speak with reporters, saying they "want to control the narrative."

When a photographer tried to enter the circle to get pictures of Concerned Students, he was pushed back.

.... the celebration continued with the crowd dancing to music over a loudspeaker.....

....Wolfe came under fire over a variety of issues, including anger after Mizzou discontinued the clinical privileges for a Planned Parenthood physician and terminated multiple relationships with different Planned Parenthood affiliates.

In-state suburban kids that can and do pay their own way and who make up the bulk of enrollment will be looking elsewhere, including out of state.

When the cash dries up, we’ll see how committed Mizzou is to the cause du jour.

It is very seldom wise to give in to the demands of vigilante thugs.....I’d have thrown the thugs off the campus for inciting to riot.

So I guess now whites will be able to have their exclusive clubs, right? Right?

Ohhhhhh...now that adds some context. But doesn’t explain the hatred toward Wolfe.

They’ll be replaced by Dreamers getting a free ride from the taxpayers.

This adds fuel to Bill Ayer’s communist revolution fire. A fire that Farrakhan, Wright, and Obama are supporting...

It’s even more than that. I’ve read their ‘manifesto’ list of demands and they are basically asking for all these new faculty, buildings and centers to cater to blacks. Where do they think the money is going to come from to fulfill those demands?

Can’t wait to see the bastard offspring of this un-natural coupling of Chicago style politics, Detroit style administration and spineless leftist academia.

Tried to read comments but they did not appear unless I registered and logged in which I don’t want to do. Totally ridiculous situation. Football players on scholarships get free housing, free meals and a free education. They should shut down the football program and kick out the protesters. Would send a strong message to those who have a free ride with basketball and other sports. But they won’t. Pandora’s box has been opened. Expect it to happen in other states across the U.S.

Next, the Univ. of Missouri will change its name to The Missouri Institute for the Perpetuation of Racial Grievances & Suppression of White Privilege.

He should have told the black football players that they are welcome to surrender their athletic scholarships. They suck anyway. They only have one SEC win this year.

Most of those players wouldn’t be in a place of higher learning anyway. I believe players should have to get into college on their on ACADEMIC MERIT. College athletics is all one big fraud.

The new mantra:

Equality is racist.

Anything less than preferential treatment for non-whites is racist.

Merit based outcomes are racist.
