follow this to its logical conclusion — if one pickup of racist rednecks utters a racist comment ... then Obama should resign.

Nazi swastika drawn on a bathroom wall with feces (don’t ask) within dorm.”

I think a “victim” did this, not an actual perp.

but in any event, the solution is obvious: the school president must resign. duh.

If you ask me....it’s turned the whole university into some comedy....probably time to disconnect from NCAA sports and just run a legit college.
I have been saying that for a long time. Grew up in Nebraska going to the football games. Met some of the players, and decided that wasn't what a school should be (and to be clear, Osborne ran a decent program). Went to Iowa State, saw some of the same things. Colleges are now just support systems for the NBA and NFL farm leagues

There are evil forces at work. This isn't a local issue.

Students are still going to go to class, athletes are still going to participate in their sports. So...all that’s changed is, their widdle feelings won’t be hurt by a word anymore? Just shows what babies they were, needing to make the mean old man saying a mean word go away, before they could live their lives.

On the one hand, it’s terrible that they were able to force the President of a state university system to resign over nonsense like this.

On the other hand, any President who would bow to these demands and resign over nonsense like this is a spineless coward, so good riddance to him.

Just hope the Regents (or Trustees, or whatever term they use in the Missouri system) finds a solid replacement.

What was this about?

This is the continuing, ongoing efforts of the Brownshirts to use what happened in Ferguson as their "Reichstag Fire moment".

The first thing that his replacement should do is fire the coach and reassign the scholarships.

Delicious irony. Universities promote SJW stupidity and now reap the whirlwind. Couldn’t happen to a better group of people.

He won. Collect nice severance package, maybe begin collecting his pension and get a nice part time gig as a consultant; now some other sucker will have to figure out how to respond to their “demands”— cave in and lose a big chunk of alumni support, don’t and lose a different chunk and get crucified politically.

I’ve read some background on this, though admittedly not thorough. I’m trying to understand this without reacting.

I’m unable to find any evidence this silly man is a racist and/or encouraged racist behavior by students.

If I’m missing something, please enlighten me.

Can the dean be held responsible for a couple of racist slurs by students?

Have the Jewish students requested resignation after a fecal swastika was found in bathroom?

” Besides Wolfe’s removal, the ConcernedStudent1950 group’s list of demands asked for several other changes, including a comprehensive racial awareness and inclusion curriculum and an increase of black faculty and staff.”

Was there ever any doubt he’d resign? The left-wing mob always wins on college campuses.

And then the board would have IMMEDIATELY fired you, anyway.

Yes, but they would have had a difficult time explaining it without bringing up the money factor......................

He should have cancelled the remainder of the football season and revoked all of their scholarships before he left.

I never had the WHITE Privilege of a full ride scholarship.

Morons, all of them, including the idiot President who let them run him out.

This is all really about Ferguson, "Black Lives Matter", and the next election.

The Brownshirts are continuing to use that tragedy as their "Reichstag Fire" moment in order to consolidate political power and whip the base up.

I predicted he would not resign. Wrong!

I'm guessing the board told him to resign or be fired.

Sigh. Yeah, you’re probably right.

What an ugly moment. Not an adult in sight, of any color.
