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.

I wonder if black or white familes fund the donations that are available funds for these players scholarships.
So will the Uni. of Missouri’s new black president come with a spine? The last one didn’t and he was bullied out of office by jocks who couldn’t scratch their names in the dirt with a stick the same way twice...
All the white students should go elsewhere to college and see what’s left.
What were the specific complaints?
If it was specific documents slurs and/or discrimination by University staff and Wolf took no action, then I can see that as being a problem.
If it was just random perceived slurs of an undocumented nature by students and non-staff, then how is Wolf responsible for that?
Sad. They are winning. Horrible.
He’s just finishing what Charlie started.
I hope BYU, Arkansas, and Tennessee not only beat the snot out of Missouri but also run up the scores in the next three games.
The #BLM crowd, coach, and part of the team were protesting that he didn’t handle racist incidents appropriately, though I haven’t seen any specifics alleging anything he did/didn’t do that remotely justify a resignation. Just RACISM and RESIGN! And one or two incidents look likely to be the sort of false flag by a SJW thing we’ve seen so many times in the last decade or so.
On the former, there was one case where a very drunk frat boy probably called a young woman the n-word, and was reprimanded by his drunk buddies who were carrying him off when they passed each other on campus. Reprehensible no doubt. That the university police did not manage to apprehended him at the time so he could be horsewhipped in the public square, expelled and the school shut down for a day in mourning over the mistreatment this poor lass underwent, with rallies and racial solidarity events, seems to be one of the complaints, and supposed justification for the successful calls for the president’s resignation.
On the latter, there was a feces-smeared swastika on a dorm wall. What!? Yes, I’m sure there are skinhead racists with bags of s#!7 running around at Mizzou. Pleeeze.
While this is likely a case of Leftists eating their own, given the likely political leanings of a modern university president, it is still to be viewed with foreboding for future actions by #BLM and SJWs.
White liberal guilt is going to destroy the Nation. Its time the rest stood up, violently or with significant money if necessary.
they better make lots of demands while they are still in college......
because they aren’t going to get hired when college is done.
that is,unless they get hired as a “diversity officer” at another college....

Watch ‘em come to a town near you.
Well, I sure don’t want these prissy little college students to feel “uncomfortable” or “disrespected” or go hungry voluntarily. As part of his penance, the university president had to publicly acknowledge his “White Privilege”! Now that is really rich. Perhaps a daily campus vigil for the now-dead “gentle giant” thug would help. The Fix is in - watch this spread to other campuses of lower learning.
Their complaints? Someone hollered at someone, put up a racist swastika (how is that racist), and didn’t apologize for some affront probably made up. Real if going to be a bitch for these pampered asses.
I agree with you. The N- word is EXACTLY what these people are
Watch ‘em come to a town near you.

Sure did.
This marks the start of our “cultural revolution”. These things will accelerate and spread to all other areas with ever escalating demands. How will the rest of us respond?

No question racial discord has been a steady undercurrent in American society, but since 2008 Obama has not missed an opportunity to deliberately fan the embers of racial animosity.
Not since the late 1960’s have things deteriorated so badly. Moreover, racial strife looks to be increasing in intensity with a very unpredictable outcome.
I think he’s going Galt.
