Truck Dixie Sticker + PoopStika = Mass Univ. firings...?
TOTAL INTELLECTUAL BANKRUPTCY..!
Well, he’s not on Wikipedia ... yet. Maybe he can qualify for inclusion now.
SHAME ON US!!!
I would imagine there aren’t any NFL prospects on this Missouri team.
There is no way to prevent a team from striking. A school could cancel scholarships, I guess, but that does nothing to prevent the massive financial loss. Schools just need to become independent if they wish to be independent. If players were being paid to play, they might be less likely to strike. Maybe that is where this will take us.
Or just cancel the athletics program entirely.
We should have picked our own damn cotton.
This is what passes for a positive contribution to society for BLMs.
I sure as well would not even look.
If this Institution caved so easily for no reason, I need no product from it.
I don’t quite understand his decision to resign his position. He earned his bachelor’s degree in 1977 at Texas A & M, so he is about 60...maybe he is in a position to take early retirement, or else believes he can find a comparable position somewhere else.
Yes, just decide that the university has a larger purpose - education. That is one possible answer.
WTF Von rhetorically says “I’m a bad person”. Not true. She is a bad piece of sh1t.
You don’t do that with extortion demands.
You face them.
He has done a serious disservice to the University of Missouri.
Based on his actions, in the face of faux adversity, he was limp. With this sort of weakness, he shouldn’t have been serving as President of the University.
I’m just saying...
Imagine you are him.
You tell your students “I am going to give the exam. I would encourage you to come and take it. If you don’t feel safe, then don’t come. But I am going to take a stand against this fear and I encourage you to do the same.”
In response you get threatened by non-students, threatened by students, threatened by the administration all because you didn’t cancel the class.
Is it worth it to stay? Do you see any choice you have but to capitulate to their demands or face an ever increasing barrage of threats and harassment?
No. You tell them “F__k you!” and walk out the door. They (students) don’t want to learn? Fine. Don’t learn. They (administration) don’t want you to teach? Fine. You won’t teach. They (non-student morons) want to threaten and harass you? Fine. I quit.
Shake the dust from your feet and leave the building before it completely burns down.
This is just the beginning and will spread quickly through academia.
You are right. I think it speaks of a long period before war.
It is a political period.
The problem is not the loss of 1M if the football team did not play.
The problem is the football team is in the middle of a losing season. The football players are losing on the field and flunking in the classroom.
Blaming whitey is now they respond.
Forget about insurance, how about digging a little bit into those multibillion dollar endowments?
Correct answer.
