This “Mizzou Effect” is a known factor among college leaders, and the official said Evergreen has been in contact with University of Missouri to learn from their experience.


I wonder what they will learn....................

Nearly 20%? Why does anyone send their children to these horrible places? What happened at Evergreen is no different than what happened at the University of Missouri with that horrible Melissa Click.

I know I have no intention of sending my children to these indoctrination centers.

It’s the only public university I know of in the US where there are no tests or grades. You more or less meet your instructor...set some agenda up with them, and just show up for classes and discussions. After four years, you graduate. What you do with the degree...is a question-mark.

How they (the state) ever got into this discussion of creation and allowing them to be accredited is a mystery to me. But if you were a straight F-student for the last three years of high school....there’s hope for you at Evergreen.

Those that are still going will probably be more inclined to self identify as ‘woke.’

we are not looking to Monday morning quarterback the past, and the decisions made in the moment. Moving forward is important

And that's why history keeps repeating.

It doesn't matter why every socialist/communist effort has failed in the past. We just need to move forward and socialism/communism is the best. /sarc

The fewer greeners, the better.

That school has always been a joke. I like to see it bite them. Reality is an effective teacher.

Proggies do not ‘learn’ after their indoctrination. Changing opinion equals admission of error; proggies cannot, will not ever admit to error. It’s a very deep-seared trait. They must suffer greatly to change an opinion, then they go silent.

Mizzou has openly admitted to a first-ever advertising budget. Reports say posters are numerous particularly in major airports where MU tends to draw from (Chicago O’ Hare). There are other recruiting ad efforts costing it additional $$$. Can’t recall those details.

There are reports applications are up 15% over last year, but given the 35% drop in enrollment that’s only a partial comeback

Then there’s the donors and would-be donors who either scaled back or dropped any intentions to give

My advice to Evergreen is to fire or dismiss the instigators and STFU. Then pray that most will have memory lapses in a couple of years

Why would any white parent send their children there unless the tuition was free or nearly free at this point? Hey, I am an idiot and want my child put in danger and told how horrible he is so he needs therapy for the rest of his life.

Time to get the mentally ill racist out of running "higher education".

You are correct. Only way to come back is to clean house of SJW/Gestapo instigators and furthermore, can the people who stood by and enabled it.

Pastor Mark Musser went to Evergreen.

It’s a Marxist sheethaul.

Those are some of his lectures, and he mentions Evergreen.
