The president of the University of Missouri system resigned Monday amid criticism of his handling of student complaints about race and discrimination.
President Tim Wolfe said Monday that his resignation is effective immediately. The announcement came at a special meeting of the university system's governing body, the Board of Curators.
The complaints came to a head over the weekend when at least 30 black football players announced they would not participate in team activities until Wolfe was removed or stepped down.
For months, black student groups have complained of racial slurs and other slights on the overwhelmingly white flagship campus of the state's four-college system. Frustrations flared during a homecoming parade Oct. 10 when black protesters blocked Wolfe's car, and he did not get out and talk to them. They were removed by police.
Black members of the football team joined the outcry on Saturday night. By Sunday, a campus sit-in had grown in size, graduate student groups planned walkouts and politicians began to weigh in.

The word is that the swastika was assembled by the BLM members.
Not a shred of proof. This is Ferguson continued using lies and deceit. We call it black culture.
Some of the same people are involved including funding.
After this, I would never send a child of mine to University of Missouri. The place will attract more thugs, lose out on serious students.
Maybe that’s BM members...
Yes! Especially since now parents know that it’s a little wannabe hotbed of “civil rights” trouble.
I don’t really know to be honest. The story I followed, seemed to indicate it was the entire athletic department, as they showed a photo of many of the staff in linked-arm poses with the players.
Thanks for the tip-I’ll look for that article.
I just came across some articles mentioning the AD also “siding” with the players and the coach, so I guess at least some of the department did. What a mess.
Give this a few days and the real truth will come out.
Here, I found it.

Me too. It would be satisfying to see them destroyed by a “white” school like BYU.
As a rabid Bama fan, I hate Tennessee with a passion I cannot describe. I usually pull for them to lose every game. Now, I hope they dismantle Missouri. I bet they wouldn’t be pulling this crap if their team didn’t suck so bad.
