Does anyone really know whats going on here ? Google is your friend. 3-5 weeks ago the Missouri board was tying to get the President (whatever his title) to resign, the professors were mostly behind this move. So what was the deal ? I wont go into full detail, but it is relevant to this issue, imho, it had to do with broken contracts between Planned Paranthood and Missouri.

Just google it and do the math yourself. There was a progressive moved to get him fired 3 or 4 weeks ago, then we have this come about.

Mighty perculiar timing. Professors leading a rally or using students is nothing new. It just happened out in California with them getting or trying to get the US Flag banned from the university.

quote:
Members of the University of Missouri football team raised awareness of the school's racial turmoil Saturday, joining forces with the student protesters and threatening to boycott football activities until president Tim Wolfe is removed from his position.

The student group leading the protest, Concerned Student 1950, issued its list of demands, which the Columbia Daily Tribune published, to the university last month. It's unclear if the university has taken steps to adopt any of the proposed changes, or if the striking football players want all of these demands met.

I. We demand that the University of Missouri System President, Tim Wolfe, writes a handwritten apology to the Concerned Student 1-9-5-0 demonstrators and holds a press conference in the Mizzou Student Center reading the letter. In the letter and at the press conference, Tim Wolfe must acknowledge his white male privilege, recognize that systems of oppression exist, and provide a verbal commitment to fulfilling Concerned Student 1-9-5-0 demands. We want Tim Wolfe to admit to his gross negligence, allowing his driver to hit one of the demonstrators, consenting to the physical violence of bystanders, and lastly refusing to intervene when Columbia Police Department used excessive force with demonstrators.

II. We demand the immediate removal of Tim Wolfe as UM system president. After his removal a new amendment to UM system policies must be established to have all future UM system president and Chancellor positions be selected by a collective of students, staff, and faculty of diverse backgrounds.

III. We demand that the University of Missouri meets the Legion of Black Collegians' demands that were presented in 1969 for the betterment of the black community.
