People do not want to attend college where thuggery and outright bigotry is not only condoned, but supported. The University of Missouri (Mizzou) was ground zero for Black Lives Matter’s academic crusade and now the university is paying the price for enabling the black supremacist movement.
For months, racial tensions remained incredibly high and protests were encouraged as university officials cowardly caved to any demands in an effort to avoid being called a racist.
Those who crusaded for supposed social justice went so far as to demand segregation for whites by demanding the creation of a “black-only healing space” where white students would be prohibited.
Because Mizzou became an intolerant atmosphere dedicated to the promotion of black supremacy, it is unsurprising that the university is dealing with a tremendous drop in enrollment.
The problem has become so bad that the university has had to shutter two entire dorm room buildings as a cost-saving measure.
The university saw a steep drop in applications and Mizzou will have 1500 fewer students in fall 2016. This equates to a $32 million budget shortfall. As a result of the shortfall, officials will be closing the Respect and Excellence halls- names that are now ironic considering that they are being shuttered due to cowardice and a commitment to appeasement over the academic needs of students.
“Dear university community,” interim chancellor Hank Foley wrote in a March email. “I am writing to you today to confirm that we project a very significant budget shortfall due to an unexpected sharp decline in first-year enrollments and student retention this coming fall. I wish I had better news.”
The school must now undergo serious budget cuts in addition to closing the dorm facilities.
The consequences are not-at-all surprising. The atmosphere surrounding the university (and other universities around the country that have similarly embraced this racist ideology) is wholly intolerant of dissenting speech. Who would want to incur significant debt to attend a university where whites are treated as second-class citizens and repeatedly told that they are bigots? Who would want to attend a university where blacks who do not subscribe to the “perpetual victim” mentality are treated as race traitors?
If academia is going to survive as anything more than indoctrination camps, they must recommit themselves to higher learning and reject legitimizing those who seek to exploit and augment racial disharmony.
U of MO’s budget shortfall bores me. It’s another self-inflicted wound of the American people.
There should be safe spaces for whites, where blacks are excluded at Mizzou, for symmetry’s sake.
I love it. Schadenfreude :)
The site seems to be infested with ads.
Enabling thuggery and other societal pestilence always brings financial ruin, whether the enabling is done by a nation, a city, or a university.
Hope this ignorant place goes bankrupt.
If more people would vote with their feet in more detail situations like this, things would change in a hurry.
Unfortunately, they’ll probably lay off any remaining relatively conservative professors—everyone but the guys who caused the trouble.
And the last people to go will be the administrators who permitted this to happen.
Good for them. I graduated from there many years ago. They really need to clean out the LIB asshats that populate the faculty.
They will increase student loans and tuition to make up the difference.
Sounds like they need to move the campus to Ferguson.
This is where politically correct rubber meets Reality Road.
Good.
I doubt they will learn the correct lesson.
Kick these asshats out of the SEC.
The black activists are getting what they wanted, a safe place for blacks as whites leave.
Or go move to the historically black universities.
Oh goody!
Who are you talking about, the 1,500 ghost students. Maybe those that transferred out or didn’t apply or come should be made to pay for the short fall. Think its bad now wait until next year.
I would not allow any child of mine to go there. A racist campus if I have ever seen one.
