I hate having to defend the University President, who is probably a FLAMING LIBERAL, but to blame him for real or perceived racism is ignorant.
Why don't these GENIUSES demand OBAMA resign because of lingering racism in America? He has done nothing to stop it....and in fact has exacerbated it.
Sounds like its past time to clean out the stables.
As an alum of the University of Kansas, I say let them walk. Shut the place down. Except KU might be next. I think that this is an offshoot of the Ferguson/St. Louis nexus. We won’t even drive across Missouri on I-70 anymore. Evil part of the world.
Shut the whole place down. It’s LOST and of very limited value.
Some peeps be hell bent on starting CWII
Missouri Faculty to Walk Out in Solidarity With Students
Ain’t that just special?
If they acted like Americans instead of like liberal whiny entitled thugs, then maybe they wouldn’t face so much disgust from the public at large.
Face it, with all the reports of Fergusson, knock out games and other such acts by obama’s children, if you are white it is stupid to trust a black person unknown to you.
This is the racial environment that obama and holder have brought into being by their racism against whites.
Now their children will have to live with it for decades while we try to get the system repaired back to 2006 status again. Obama wiped out 50 plus years of racial progress.
The chancellor can make this simple.
Bring in the athletic director and his executives...note that the school is disengaging from all NCAA sports for a three-year period. You don’t need their services, so dismiss them.
The team? Send them a note and just say school provided accommodations will be finished in seven days, and the scholarship deal will no longer be valid.
Any professors who support the walk-out? Dismiss them, period.
wait til they find out it’s a hoax...
I used to joke that after working as a full time professor I would never get a real job.
Due to the unionized faculty, full time meant 10 hours a week, 28 weeks per year of in class instruction. My office hours were between my classes.
My last year of teaching (had to leave as my professional practice grew so big that I had no free time to teach) they rearranged my schedule so that I only worked Tuesday and Thursday. Think about that, two days per week, five hours per day for 28 weeks a year... I WAS FULL TIME. I actually felt guilty taking my paycheck!!!
So what is the actual trigger for this strike? Nebulous rumors of “Somebody called me the N-word” that nobody can track down? Leading to near-riots, screaming out their demands “or else?”
On that basis, any institution can be shut down.
I do so hate ‘headline writers’ as this is an excellent example of a disconnect between the headline and the article. The headline says “Missouri Faculty” without ANY qualifications - in other words by plain English, it means the whole of the group! The article itself STARTS by saying it is a subset that calls itself “The Concerned Faculty GROUP!”
Anyway it just goes to show that there are idiots amongst the faculty as well as amongst the students and athletes (some posing as students). The article does state the following; “”Faculty will meet at the Carnahan Quadrangle starting at 10am and will be present throughout the day to respond to student questions in the form of a teach in. Students are encouraged to check email for information from their professors.” & “It’s unclear how many staff, if any, plan to walk out at the Columbia, Missouri, campus.”
Speaking ‘ex Cathedra’ from my belly-button, I predict high participation by the liberal arts and victimhood studies faculty. I hope that there will be few from the ‘hard sciences’ but I’m certain that some will be there, it is a global solidarity kind of thing after all!
From this article, it sounds like the Board may very well fire the President today.
Don’t know about the Athletic Director, but the football coach said he and the rest of the team stand as one.
This will be the outcome: The President will be the sacrificial lamb. He will “resign” (he’ll offer his resignation rather then be pushed out). A black man or woman will be appointed President on an interim basis.
The supposed racial divide will worsen (from the accounts I’ve read, it sounds as if there are a couple of racist incidents, one of which was related to alcohol so it doesn’t sound systemic-but whatever).
There will be other sacrificial lambs. My bet is that the white football coach gets ousted (he’s sympathetic now, but they’ll turn on him too when they get a taste of power) and there will be demands for a black coach.
The university is 17% minority (don’t know exact % of blacks). The demands are for more minorities in university leadership positions. So this won’t stop with the President.
In a sane world, those football players and the coach that supports them would be GONE. There must be plenty of students with some football skills who wouldn't mind being offered a full scholarship. And the coach? Anyone goes along with this lack of team discipline should already be GONE!
Sports teams are supposed to provide strong guidance for acceptable behavior, for heaven's sake.
Can Missouri (the state) be saved?
Sounds like MO legislature just got handed a golden opportunity to cut spending.
If allowed to continue, those stupid professors will have to give their students “A” for not attending class. Mommy and Daddy should be thrilled to put up money so little Brad and Bambi can cut classes.
Revoke tenure of any faculty member who refuses to teach.
Blah, blah, blah... then take your liberal asses elsewhere.
Of course the racist faculty walk out in support of the racist students. American universities have been a major tool in creating SJWs.
Just as in the 60’s it’s to society’s shame that parents don’t raise their children to know foolishness when they’re taught it. Allowing students to be spoonfed liberal poison from the age of 5 yields adults who are brainwashed and unable to critically think.
With each generation America accepts more and more of liberal propaganda as fact. It’s death by a thousand cuts.
And I am quite certain that few if any of them know why the President has been targeted. Supposedly, someone keep yelling "the n-word" at blacks on campus (as if their music doesn't do that 4000 times per day), and SOMEONE made a swastika out of feces on campus... and the President has not done "enough" about it, despite there being zero evidence of who has done any of it...
and even the football players who may not play ADMITTED TO REPORTERS that they would not do this if they were having a better season. Even black athletes are afraid to not follow along on the race-hate trains these days.
