Will you have to downsize some departments?

Whatever they do, they can't touch the Diversity Department! They should cut back on non-essential stuff, like engineering or math.

What about Black students who actually want to go there to get an education and not get caught up or dragged into the “Thug U” culture ?

Boycotting (silent or otherwise) is the purest form of free speech (silent or otherwise).

BLM speech is countered by other speech. I love it! Everyone gets their say.

Long live the 1st Amendment!

As you say, Mizzou is funded by taxpayer money. Part of Mizzou’s problems stem from the fact that Missouri’s conservative taxpayers have elected veto-proof conservative majorities in both houses of Missouri’s General Assembly. These majorities are not happy with the University’s past actions and are writing appropriation bills that reflect that unhappiness.

When you have #BLM mass stupidity on display, of course there will be a decline in intelligent people wishing to go there.

“Boycotting (silent or otherwise) is the purest form of free speech (silent or otherwise).”

That works best when we have state’s rights being championed. If one state decides to diss its taxpayers, then those taxpayers are free to go to another state, leaving a largesse behind.

Once the feds control everything, then we have no place to go, which is the end game of the libs.

[Lorianne]

The problem with that is: Who gets to determine “rational thought”?

See, this is why the 1st Amendment is so beautiful. No one has to top-down decide what is “rational thought” or good thoughts or beneficial thoughts or whatever. People vote silently with their feet and their wallets.

It is a beautiful thing. I am loving it.

Maybe BLM will contribute since MU has been so subservient?

I am happy to see Mizzou’s appropriation reduced enough to have the desired effect.
