Thanks for the info. Interesting numbers.

Univ. of Missouri student: ‘Several of us are afraid to disagree with other students’ - The College Fix

This isn't something that just started happening at Missouri. It happens at every college. Students like myself who lean towards being more conservative basically just keep our mouths shut during in class discussions of race, gender, marriage etc... in order to not come off as "racist" , "homophobic", or "misogynistic". The only ones who seem to voice their opinions are liberal social justice workers. College classes today are literally just an echo chamber of liberal ideology. No one challenges their views and they all believe that everyone who doesnt have their view is a bigot.

My friends who go to colleges across the east coast all have had similar experiences. How ironic is it that the "oppressed" groups voice their opinions now freely like it is gospel and are lauded for it while the "oppressors" are to scared to even argue back.

21rst century and we still gotta deal with this? Smh.... Racism is almost as annoying as Mexicans

Way to keep it real.

 

[Bluto]

Yeah... that two years of my life I simply made up. Get out of here with that crap. If you want to know what's wrong with 'merica... look in the mirror dude. You will have your answer.

It always amazes me that someone who roots for Alabama feels comfortable pointing the finger at others and saying "they are the problem". That's pathetic.

 

[Bluto]

Anyhow, it seems to me that this bum of an admistrator pissed off the faculty (vis a vis his pro choice stance to can a professor over abortion related politics), then stepped on the toes of many of the graduate students (who double as teachers) by cutting their health care bennies, then decided he did not need to take black students concerns seroiusly until the most highly regard of them (the football team) decided to call him out and flex their power. Cry me a river.

May I ask why you resurrected this thread 1.5 months after the last post?

And I can't tell if he's being serious or not, but it definitely looks as though he passive aggresively quoted a joke about racism as if it weren't sarcastic...

I'm going to go ahead and guess "Bourbon"...

University of Missouri curators vote to fire Melissa Click - Columbia Daily Tribune | Columbia Missouri: Turmoil At University Of Missouri

By RUDI KELLER

Assistant Professor Melissa Click, captured on video calling for “some muscle” to remove reporters from a campus protest site, was fired Wednesday by the University of Missouri Board of Curators, Chairwoman Pam Henrickson said in a prepared statement.

...

“The board respects Dr. Click’s right to express her views and does not base this decision on her support for students engaged in protest or their views,” Henrickson said in the prepared statement. “However, Dr. Click was not entitled to interfere with the rights of others, to confront members of law enforcement or to encourage potential physical intimidation against a student.”

The statement from Henrickson cited Click’s behavior at the Homecoming parade, when she cursed at a police officer who was moving protesters out of the street, and on Nov. 9 at Concerned Student 1950’s protest site on the Carnahan Quadrangle. Her actions at the protest site, Henrickson said, “when she interfered with members of the media and students who were exercising their rights in a public space and called for intimidation against one of our students, we believe demands serious action.”

The investigators hired by the curators reviewed videos, documents and conducted more than 20 interviews, Henrickson said.

...

Interim MU Chancellor Hank Foley released a statement Thursday admitting the process the curators used to fire Click was "not typical."

"These have been extraordinary times in our university’s history, and I am in complete agreement with the board that the termination of Dr. Click is in the best interest of our university," Foley said. "Her actions in October and November are those that directly violate the core values of our university."

Foley said the process and investigation that led to Click's termination had been fair.

There was a thread on last November's Missouri Football Team Protest, the President and Chancellor's resignations, and Click's call for muscle to remove a student journalist from a campus demonstration. I spent a half hour looking for it, didn't find it so I opened this thread to update the topic.

This is joyous news. I can't believe she was educating young adults. She threatens a student with muscle because he's not doing what she wants. Fucking terrible person and I'm pleased she got her just desserts.

It's unreal that opinions other than leftist bullshit are under assault. People are getting angry and the country is increasingly divided. This election is proof as there is a record turnout on the Republican side, so hopefully we'll do something about it.

Thank you. Reps!

I ran searches under Missouri Football, Click's name, the President and Chancellor's names and did a chronological search through last November's posts and never found that thread.



Will a mod please merge these threads?

Mea culpa for the extra work.

That's absolutely ridiculous! If you don't agree with someone's politics or views, that's fine, but this is definitely not the way to handle it. Disrupting someone's speech that you disagree with, intimidating those who want to hear it or blocking their ability to enter the place where it's being given, pulling fire alarms to interrupt them, and threatening a speaker whose views you don't like is totally unacceptable and completely at odds with the principles of tolerance and free speech. This has become all too common from leftist students in recent years.

The ideology that promotes inclusion and tolerance only includes and tolerates those with like beliefs.

As far as the Miss Mizzou, she will probably end up at some other institution that promotes such activities. Maybe CSULA will give her a call.

 

[NDVirginia19]

Man fuck those spoiled ass students at CSULA. I can respect some facets of liberal ideology, but this recent safe speech movement is sickening, and I can't believe people in my generation are buying into it.

@11:02pm: "And I have just learned now that students have just ended their sit-in for the night. They say they will resume tomorrow....."

What is this, amateur hour?

"Ok, folks........... that's a wrap for today. Go home and drink some wine with your vegan dinner, and don't forget that we will start handing out free outrage at 6am tomorrow, in the Student Union. We highly recommend that everyone stock up on the free outrage before coming to the sit-in tomorrow, even if you already have your own. Have a good night, and don't forget to spay or neuter your pets!"

Here's an article from the K.C. Star from January that noted that applications were down.

Race protests at Mizzou could stunt freshmen enrollment | The Kansas City Star
BY MARÁ ROSE WILLIAMS

JANUARY 13, 2016

Fewer freshmen are applying to the University of Missouri for fall enrollment than a year earlier, and race protests that put the Columbia campus under a national spotlight contributed to the drop, according to an internal email from MU’s director of enrollment.

So far, the university has received 18,377 freshman applications, compared to 19,318 applications last year. However, this year’s numbers are 123 higher when compared with January 2014, according to the university’s enrollment update.

Curiously applications were only down by about 1,000 while admissions/enrollment are down by 1,500. Keep in mind for the past 4 or 5 years Mizzou has an admission rate of 78-81%.

Also interesting is the school anticipating lower freshman enrollment/

However, he said the university has been expecting a dip in freshman enrollment for some time because of “the last baby boomer echo 18 years ago. We are not seeing as many high school graduates in Missouri, in Illinois and Kansas, areas we also draw from,” Basi said.

Although overall enrollment at MU jumped last fall, freshman enrollment numbers for last fall were down 5 percent to 6,191 from 6,515 the previous year.

Despite the solidarity of the protests:

The fall applications included a drop of 78 black students compared with last fall, but an increase of 24 compared with two years ago.

The university spokesman noted increased competition for students from other SEC schools (???) and the Chicago area but made no mention of the rise and fall of the Tiger Football Program. A quick look at recent Tiger success and failure could be a significant factor as schools recognize that applications increase when the football team do well and ebb when the losses mount. Perhaps that spokesperson should take a look at the Mauk Factor.

2013 11-3
2014 12-3
2015 5-7

QB James Franklin helped lead Mizzou's football team out of the doldrums up to a #5 ranking and a Cotton Bowl win.

QB Maty Mauk arrived to hype and took over from Franklin and Mizzou went 12-3 then came 5-7. Mauk's problems got worse, the team stumbled to 5-7 and the football team protested. Surely no coincidence. Obviously the situation was better on campus was better in '12 and '13 when the Tigers were winning.

Let's keep in mind Mizzou in not a Big 12 doormat anymore. They came to the SEC and became a SEC Power (well Eastern Division Power anyway). Then they fell to 5-7, Maty got sacked from school, and applications and enrollments nosedived.

"S-E-C! S-E-C!"

Mizzou is now a joke, which is as it should be. This is what they deserve for pandering to spoilt race-hustlers.

If you’re in Columbia, Missouri, and you notice it’s a little easier to get around town this fall, there’s a reason for it.

As reported by Dan Ebner of KRCG 13, freshman enrollment at the University of Missouri is down 26.65 percent this year. Ebner’s figures show that 4,799 freshmen are enrolled to start the current fall semester, compared to 6,211 from the year before.
There could be a number of reasons for the decline. It’s difficult to pinpoint one explanation for drops in enrollment like this, but it’s fair to wonder how much the racial tensions on campus last year led to the development.

You’ll remember that Missouri’s game against BYU last November was in jeopardy when players threatened to strike in protest of then-University of Missouri System president Tim Wolfe. Since then, Missouri has undergone numerous changes in university leadership.

The Tigers open the season Sept. 3 at West Virginia.
