The University of Missouri has no one to blame for their current crisis but their own leadership. After the campus protests of 2016, they could have corrected course. Instead they did nothing to address the problem and now they’re paying the price.
Mizzou enrollment plunge continues: Three more dorms shutting down next year
(Excerpt) Read more at thegatewaypundit.com ...
The University of Missouri is shutting down three dorms next year because of low freshman enrollment, The Maneater reports.
They don't. Elsewhere in the article it talks about a plan to shift staff around and allow staff size to shrink as a function of "natural attrition". The institution is dying.
that click chick must have been a symptom of a much larger problem, rather than her being the PR disaster that led to their enrollment downturn.
it would have rebounded by now if she was the whole problem.
Oh heavens! What will the University do?
Oh good Lord! Where’s the eyebleach ginger?
Why can’t universities go out of business? Why are they any different from any other organization?
Shut it all down.
If only this concept would spread to Berkeley.
The original dorm story is older news, but as this story from the current maneater shows, they still don’t get it.
As MU searches for diversity, faculty of color face systemic discrimination

Gross incompetence and pathetic pandering are not attractive to people looking for a decent educational environment.
MU had a pretty good journalism school in the 1890’s.
University of Misery pronounce Misrah.
Wouldn’t be surprised if Berkeley loses some of its appeal as well.
state support. paradoxically, when they suck, they get more state support.
it’s a self-ratifying fail engine.
Journalism..? What's that?
“If necessary, we will offer alternative employment opportunities at comparable compensation to the remaining staff.”
When the $hit hits the fan, you face the reality that public universities exist for their employees. But then that is true for virtually all of government. During the recent draught here in California, our Sewer District was “forced to raise discharge rates” because even though they were processing far less wastewater and would normally be forced to have personnel reductions, they were raising rates to “keep everybody and to deal with their looming pension shortfall.” And now that the draught is over, the rate increases are staying in place.
When no one is left all will be safe spaces.
As an embarrassed alum, I refuse to give them even 1 cent.
