More Missouri "enlightenment"

[stevenash]

Anybody remember when Melissa Click, instructor, and participant in a 2015 protest at University of Missouri, tried to bully some folks away from the protest/demonstration?  This began in October of 2015 when student activists claimed that "racism lives here".  They sent administrators a lengthy list of demands.  Among them:  The University President should resign after delivering a handwritten apology acknowledging his "male white privilege"; the curriculum should include "comprehensive racial awareness and inclusion"; 10% of the faculty staff should be black.  Two weeks later a student announced he was going a on hunger strike and the football team refused to practice or play until the university met their demands.  By Nov 9, both the president and the chancellor had resigned.

As classes begin this week, freshmen enrollment is down 35% since the protests  U of Missouri is beginning the year with the smallest incoming class since 1999.The campus has taken 7 dormitories our of service.  Here are some other results caused by the "compassion and caring"  In May, U of M announce it would lay of as many as 100 people and eliminate 300 more positions through retirement and attrition.  Last year, the University cut 50 cleaning and maintenance jobs.  The 2016 football season drew 13,000 fewer attendees than in 2015.  During basketball games, 1/3 of the seats in the are empty. Gotta love that "compassion" and "inclusivity".  My guess is the people who lost their jobs will not agree.

Wow...compassion (rolleyes) stinks sometimes...problem is, these "activist" idiots think they made some "progress" here.

What should have happened is the administrators should have taken that lengthy list of demands and shredded them.
