Safe spaces may become empty spaces at the University of Missouri, where officials acknowledged an expected sharp decline in enrollment next fall is due at least in part to protests that rocked the campus last fall.

The school is braced for a 25 percent drop in new students this coming fall, forcing the institution to enact painful budget cuts, as well as hiring and salary freezes.

“We do know that the events of last fall have had an effect on our application numbers;

Good. Let that be a lesson to all administrators. Do not coddle the fruit loops.

^^^^Agree with this.^^^^

Don't worry about the State of Missouri finances. We have had a AAA bond rating for decades. This is a minor setback only. If you want financial problems, look at the lib-tard states of CA, NY and IL.

How many businesses has Kentucky lost? How about that coal industry? Heck, when was the last time a KY horse won the Derby?

From article...“College enrollment is declining overall – perhaps because high school graduates are realizing trivial courses that lecture on “white privilege” and “queer liberation” – just to name two – don’t help one much with employment and real-world problems,” Kyle Olson, founder and head of the Education Action group and news site EAGnews.org, told FoxNews.com.

He adds that the same can be true of the microcosm of Mizzou.

“Do most reasonable people want classmates who parade through the library finger-waving about the supposed evils of whiteness – or professors who threaten the safety of their students and undermining the very tenant that protects their profession for which she is training them: the First Amendment?” he asked.

Great comparison. I always think of coal when someone starts talking about institutions of higher learning.

Probably didn't help for the student body president to tell the world he was working directly with the National Guard and state police because groups of KKK members were attacking the campus. Nor did it help when said president subsequently challenged anyone to dare try and remove him from his position for his blatant racism and lying to try and incite a riot.

Do you see what happens when you pander to misandrous racist ivory tower rhetoric? Let them burn.

Olson noted that other schools in Missouri, including Missouri State, are seeing an increase in enrollment, which would indicate local students are considering options other than Mizzou

Serves them right. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Heard that somewhere before

Winstar produced a winner very recently...

And easy with the low blows. The coal industry may be getting raped, but we still have all the bourbon.

Not going broke, just not getting funds from the legislature and drop in enrollment...and that is tied to the protests, not budget issues.

We will weather the storm this year. Hopefully the silent majority steps up, and I believe they will.
