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.
You ain’t kidding.
Well said.
They brought it on themselves. No sympathy.
Bye-bye.
On the bright side, maybe this means my thick nephew can finally get accepted at a university with real buildings.
“The black activists are getting what they wanted, a safe place for blacks as whites leave.”
Didn’t you get the memo? White flight is a micro-aggression, if not a macro one, even if it’s done for safety.
Excuse me while I projectile hurl. Is this where the "Knockout Game" thugs go to ice down their sore knuckles and converse in deprecatory ebonics about "whitey" as a form of demented ethnic catharsis?
Great.
Actually, this is good as we as a country should desperately stop graduating kids from such worthless institutions of higher learning.
There is hope evidenced with this.
Hope the Alum are holding back on $$$$$ too.
I would also love to see the racial makeup of this years' class vs. previous.
I hope it gets worse next year.
How about water fountains and bathrooms? Maybe schools for the different races. They could be separate, but equal.
How many tenured professors and administration staff are going to be let go?
“People do not want to attend college where thuggery and outright bigotry is not only condoned, but supported.”
I’m not so sure that is really true ... have you looked at the attendance at the Ivy League, major West or East Coast, or other community colleges such as Univ. of Chicago, etc. lately?
So now the militant blacks can have all the safe spaces they want, while the school deteriorates all around them.
unexpected
there’s that word again
I’m sure they will cut the engineering, science, and math programs to make up for it.
Your post makes a very good tag line
I would think a lot of employer recruiters have cancelled interviews also. It will be tough to find a job if you have a degree from a school that condones idiots running the asylum.

“Unexpected”, everyone drink. /s
The dunces, I won’t call them over-educated, can’t see the writing on the wall. Let them reap what they sow.
Enjoy the results of your capitulation, as you contemplate your navel. Dumb @sses.
The only one(s) I feel any sympathy for are the ones whom PAID for their ‘education’; they should get a rebate.
