I graduated from BC and had a number of classes with athletes. I also took a second job in the varsity weight room in order to work out there with real equipment instead of being stuck with the decades-old nautilus machines they had at the student center. Some of the guys were nice and some were not but not one of them had any place in college classes. Most were pretty open about the fact that they had other students doing their work and some of their exams as ‘take homes’.

MO people seem to have the worst case of “white guilt”, or is there another state just as bad?

Athletes at UNC should be very, very quiet considering the academic fraud going on there.

Probably ....as both are academic elites who have generous labor contracts who will expect to get paid well for doing nothing. They worship PC even if it is based on deceptive lies that benefit only minorities while always scape goating the majority, and all may be 100% based on fabricated events.

The media will never expose the corruption when it comes to minorities displacing average whites in the demographic majority. The majority in our populace loses political power and opportunity by the day, because they are “banned” from organizing for self benefit by PC police, SPLC, media, etc as minorities can get away with doing with regularity.

and where is the proof that any body called anybody a name...there is none I presume....just another empty accusation....the accuser was the class president apparently, in a mostly all white college....

I expect the feces thing to have been done by a black...

White people don’t paint swastikas.

Are there Jewish black players on this team? Swastikas are symbolic of hatred toward jews, not blacks. There are other not so nice gestures toward blacks that would have been a whole lot symbolic.

My bs meter on this sorted affair is going off the scale.

It’s a genuine freak-out situation down there today.

Chancellor Loftin resigned yesterday afternoon.

There was a near riot yesterday when some faculty members attempted to exclude the press from covering the protesters’ pow-wow on campus.

Several classes have been cancelled for today because the Profs don’t feel safe on campus.

This just in - One of my colleagues has a part-time teaching appointment, and received a call this morning, from his department head, recommending that he cancel his classes today.

Less than five minutes ago I heard a rumor that al sharpton has arrived on campus. I’m not sure where that info came from originally, but I will continue to investigate.

I’ve got some business near that area later today. I will be packing heat.

Be polite. Be professional. Be prepared to kill anyone you meet.

Responding to another poster's query if Wolfe was a liberal, you said:

Of course he's a liberal (a rich, white liberal to be precise). Otherwise he wouldn't be appointed so much as a grade school crossing guard by the pandering, appeasing Board of Regents for any public university. The BLM bigots won't be satisfied until every appointed position (political, education, agencies, etc) in Amerika is filled only with blacks, muslims or homos.

When you don't know what you're talking about maybe it's best to just shut up.

Tim Wolfe was working towards shutting down Planned Parenthood on the Mizzou campus. He revoked one of the PP gyno doctor's admitting privileges at the University Hospital.

Thanks for the update. I have many former and current colleagues and other friends/acquaintances who went to MU.

What an atrocious turn of events.

My hope is that alumni and fans walk away from the fundraisers and sporting events until sanity is restored.

MUPD sent this out a few minutes ago...

To continue to ensure that the University of Missouri campus remains safe, the MU Police Department (MUPD) is asking individuals who witness incidents of hateful and/or hurtful speech or actions to:

Call the police immediately at 573-882-7201. (If you are in an emergency situation, dial 911.)

Give the communications operator a summary of the incident, including location.

Provide a detailed description of the individual(s) involved.

Provide a license plate and vehicle descriptions (if appropriate).

If possible and if it can be done safely, take a photo of the individual(s) with your cell phone.

Delays, including posting information to social media, can often reduce the chances of identifying the responsible parties. While cases of hateful and hurtful speech are not crimes, if the individual(s) identified are students, MU’s Office of Student Conduct can take disciplinary action.

Who did taking a picture in a safe space be a hate crime?

Interim Vice Chancellor for Inclusion, Diversity and Equity??? They have lost their collective minds...

This just in from the Provost office:

Dear Students, Faculty and Staff,
I’m very pleased to announce that Chuck Henson, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Trial Practice in the MU School of Law, has been named as Interim Vice Chancellor for Inclusion, Diversity and Equity effective immediately.
Professor Henson has been with the university since 2009. During that time, he has served as an adjunct professor, visiting professor of law and trial practice professor of law. He was an honoree at the 27th Annual Lloyd Gaines Scholarship Banquet and received the Graduate Professional Council’s 2014 Gold Chalk Award for excellence in teaching. He was recognized for his outstanding contributions to student learning in 2015 by the Division of Student Affairs Excellence in Education Award.
His academic scholarship focuses on Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex and national origin. He also has taught continuing legal education courses focusing on employment discrimination.
Prior to joining MU, he served as an assistant attorney general and the assistant general counsel for human resources in the Missouri Attorney General’s office. From 2004-2006, he was a vice president with Adelphia Communications, providing legal guidance and management for human resources issues with 15,000 employees in 23 states. He also has worked in private practice in Colorado. He is a licensed lawyer in Missouri and Colorado (inactive) and is licensed to practice before a variety of federal district and circuit courts of appeals including the U.S. Tax Court; the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals; and the U.S. Supreme Court.
He received his bachelor’s degree from Yale University and his law degree from Georgetown University.
Please join me in congratulating Professor Henson on this very important and crucial role at our university. We’re looking forward to working with him as we continue to make Mizzou an inclusive and welcoming community for everyone who teaches, works and studies here.
Garnett S. Stokes
Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor
