In a meeting with the University of Missouri governing board this morning, President Tim Wolfe resigned. The sudden move comes as pressure built over the weekend for his removal when thirty Black members of the football team declared they would no longer participate in games until Wolfe resigned.
The coaches supported the striking players and canceled team activities yesterday. There is also a few student groups who called for a campus-wide walkout today and tomorrow.
The genesis of all the protest was a declared hunger strike by student government president Jonathan Butler.
Among Butler’s issue is an alleged incident of racial slurs being screamed at a student senate member, a swastika drawn in feces on a campus bathroom wall and Planned Parenthood being prevented by state law from doing abortions on campus.
Is Mizzou going to make the football team 88% white to satisfy valid ratio
The inmates are running the asylum. What does Planned Non-Parenthood have to do with all this?
blackmail
Change the name to Miszoo and walk away…
The blacks were USED – again.
Well I guess football is more important then academia and 30 black players (most of which won’t make the pros) along with some black radicals and SJW’s can force the ouster of a University president in reply to a handful number of incidents which either can’t be proved to have taken place at all or that weren’t false flag jobs done by the blacks themselves or some SJW. Shame.
Sorry to hear he resigned, like he has control over what students do. Plus I’m sure that poop incident was most likely a racial hoax, since most of them are anyway.
Now the blueprint is out there to do this at other schools.
You’re right RightWinger, something definitely smells here.
“Tim Wolfe”‘s just another word for nothin’ left to lose…. nothin’ don’t mean nothin if it ain’t free.
Wouldn’t have resigned. I’d have yanked the scholarships (and you know they’re all on football scholarships) of any player refusing to play. Pretty sure I could make a case in court for violation of contract, there.
It seems likely that these ‘racist’ events were staged/phony. SO when they discover that to be true will the president be reinstated?
My advice to the citizens of the state is vote to close the school. It is going to be an expensive disaster. Don’t give into the crazies deny them this victory. Close the school, fire the staff and give the tax money back to the citizens.
His “mistake” was not allowing the Godless heathen to perform their human sacrifice rituals on campus.
Plain and simple
Smartest man on campus, just get the hell outta there and let ’em rot like the rest of ’em. Hope he has a bennie package to rely on.
Duh! That’s how I would have handled it!
This guy’s a total wimpazoa if he lets these overentitled brats yank his chain.
Thanks to the Missou black student people of color club, the world is now safe from Nazi poop graffiti artists. Way to stand up for the causes that really matter.
Missouri Pussies!
The coach should have stepped in immediately and handed them invoices for their college “education”.
Most of them won’t graduate either.
If the board thinks this is the last person they’re going to fire, they’re crazy. Then again, “higher ed” has brought it all on themselves.
Now the university professors and administrators know what it is like to be falsely labeled as a racist, homophobic, transphobic, woman hating privileged person of non color. Suck it academia, you reap what you sow.
the coaches were in on it with them. what can you say to the team of coaches that brought us Michael Sam
And meanwhile over at Yale, the student newspaper today has an opinion piece for white girls that reads like the Onion. Left on left hilarity.

The coach? Ole Pink-el makes +3 million dollars per year (I would guess far more than the University President does) for coaching football. He isn’t about to upset his mostly dumb, retarded and mercenary players! The football monster ate it’s master!
The Africans smell blood in the water. The Board will be next. There is no one to stop them. They now will have free reign!

You’re right–now other schools have to prove they can do that or worse to claim whatever dubious title they can from it. What next–1969 wannabes and occupying campus administration buildings like they did in Columbia?
He must be doing one helluva job if they’re 1-5!
Two things:
First, this is a prelude to what will soon happen in all schools everywhere, middle and high schools as well as college.
Blacks will demonstrate for some petty offense and the somebody will be forced out.
One day there will be a hue and cry to get the Cafeteria Lady fired because she’s old and white and so are the mashed potatoes and therefore something somewhere must be racist!
Soon there will be only guards, teachers behind acrylic panels and food dispensers
Second, the reason college costs fifty thou a year to learn crap like whether or not Dogs approve of Nougat, is the fact that everybody is a doctor of some nonsense branch of study and gets five hundred thou a year to work three hours a week.
When they start getting rid of professors for not being Left Enough, the snake will begin eating its tail signifying the end is not far behind
@Anon. The comments make up for the essay….

“White women … it’s time to remember your role in all this. … As white women, we can use our privilege to support the black voices around us. ”
I have not read anything more unconsciously bigoted than this in many a month.

The white guilt is strong in this one.
U of Mizz, aka Les Misérables, also has the distinction of graduating Michael Sam.
Highest paid government employee in most every state is a team coach.. http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/savingandinvesting/the-highest-paid-public-employee-in-every-state/ar-AAehW7S
I’m surprised he lasted as long as he did. At the same time, I’m shit-sick and tired of reading the lists of “demands” by the same crew.
If you have not read the list of demands, and every single one is specifically phrased as a demand, then you should. Faced with what these people are demanding, I’ll be amazed if the University stays in business for much longer. Might just as well close up shop right now rather than even attempt to please these “demonstrators”.
Gutless governing board, welcome to academia 2015.
I wonder what exactly the President could have done to “shield” the Blacks of the University from racism in the Columbia community?
This Johnathan Butler is going into politics or community organizing and then politics, just watch to see how far he can ride the SJW horse to power.
Hell no! The are active participants and CHOOSE to do what they do. Unless you are saying blacks are retarded and sub human and cannot control themselves?
Why don’t the football players just pool all their scholarship dollars and give them to the girl’s football team. It’s only fair.
The limbs in these universities brought all of this on themselves by pushing their agendas on kids instead of actually teaching! Fire all of them and bring in non lib professors/staff if any exist!
the three R’s of education.
Racism, Rancor and Riots.
LOL! What fruitcakes.
I love the comment and I can picture Yoda saying it: ” “The white guilt is strong in this one.”
And most all those head coaches bring in far more money to the university than just about anybody in the entire states’ employees.
Best comment so far over at Salon:
Case Davis: Racism is now over at Missouri. Yea.

I’m jhst glad the players are back at practice. Idle hands are the devil’s tools…
“To determine how often crimes involving college athletes are prosecuted and what factors influence them, Outside the Lines requested police reports involving all football and men’s basketball players on rosters from 2009 to 2014 from campus and city police departments covering 10 major programs: Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Michigan State, Missouri, Notre Dame, Oklahoma State, Oregon State, Texas A&M and Wisconsin
Missouri had 63 criminal cases involving 46 athletes during the five-year time period. Twelve athletes were involved in more than one incident, Outside the Lines found, and Missouri had the second-highest number of allegations of sexual assault, violence against women, and harassment. Florida State had the most.”

Who would want a diploma that says Mizzou on it after this disgrace? The jocks removed the U President ? Then it IS all and only about money.
I would transfer ANYWHERE else!
Bring the heat on the illiterates in that locker room and show how they respond. Make an example, a NATIONAL embarrassment, out of them and see how that plays out.
Tell post-racial Obozo that HE built this !
But to prosecute these athletes’ crimes would be rayciss, so you can fugetaboutit.
