I'm very happy with the actions of this week. Firing Melissa Click, then following up with a proper scolding of the protesters. By people they can't claim are racist, even! I am not a fan of Mike Middleton, but it seems he has committed, at least somewhat, to doing his interim job effectively for the best interests of the University despite his own leanings.
I would guess that reasonable people of color, who truly want to see progress made in racial relations and equality, are not appreciative of this sideshow. CS1950 has taken it too far, as I expected they would, and are harming the actual cause. For those who only want strife, publicity and money...sorry.

Spot on. In a strange way the best thing for Mizzou to fully recapture its image at this point may be for CS1950 to keep making demands, because each one gets more ridiculous, giving Mizzou more opportunity to say hey, we initially tried to be responsive to our students but it turns out we were ambushed by a lunatic fringe that even the long time civil rights leaders on campus have found to be unreasonable. Case closed, lesson learned.
I think at this point the main thing is to get this Jonathan Butler kid graduated already, 7 years is freaking enough. If demands this loony are the best they can do now with him, think how rudderless and inept the group will be when he's gone. Whatever tap dance can be done short of expelling him to politely tell this kid "ok, it's been 7 years, here's a degree you yourself tarnished, buh bye now," do it.

I think you are correct. but these reasonable people are often called "uncle tom's" and accused of not being "black enough". this I have witnessed and more than a few times. sadly, there is a tendency of the losers (economically, etc) to try their damndest to bring down the winners (better educated and more successful). this "tendency" is pathetic. many of the successful African americans have "left" the civil rights movement.
