I'm still disappointed that the strike didn't result in Mizzou fielding a team of walk-ons for the last games that year.
Would have made a great "SEC Storied".
They still would have beat Bert.

Good try? Every college campus in Missouri is faced with increasing tuition or budget cuts from the decrease in funding from the state.

You tried to claim that Governor Greitens is the reason that the enrollment is declining at Mizzou.
Considering he's only been governor for 4-5 months and enrollment has been declining for 2 years, you are a liar.

Uh, no. I was blaming Grietens for the position cuts. Enrollment drop is expected to increase.

Uhhh well if enrollment drops, then of course positions are going to get cut. That's how things work.
WTF are you talking about?

A big reason for this is newly elected Eric Grietens.
The inbred that live in the state voted for the guy..

Nothing wrong with our governor unless, of course, you like big government. Just sayin'..

I'm not blaming the enrollment drop on Grietens..
The 82 million dollar cut in higher education... I am though.
Grietens has so many people in his pocket, it isn't funny.

It's already happened at other universities and it was handled correctly thanks to Mizzou providing an example of what NOT to do.
So thanks.
So thanks.

Uh, no. I was blaming Grietens for the position cuts. Enrollment drop is expected to increase.
Common sense would dictate that you cut jobs/staffing/courses, right?

Mizzou supporters is that the State's population is far more conservative than they thought, I suppose
The fact is, MO is one of the most conservative states in the union. We have the same problem as any other state. College campi and large metro areas are blue voters through and through. Fortunately, we still have enough people with some sense to fend them off at the polls.

Of course he's going to cut funding when their is a big enrollment drop like Mizzou is experiencing. Less students equals less money/resources. I feel like that's pretty standard.

And the left doesn't have people in their pockets? Come on man. I have yet to see where constantly throwing more money at education has solved a damn thing. Sooner or later you have to live within your means and not just expect more money from the cash cow. I know you are defending Mizzou here and appreciate it, but we part ways on this subject.

The failures of your University are not new or recent.
That is true. It has been a mess for a bit. On the plus side, an incident so visual as this should let a good purge happen. Sterk has been doing a lot of work for us too.
As far as down enrollment, I don't care. It is most likely an outlier and if it is not it will push the university to the right. Could be a concern if it stays down but truthfully universities are over inflated with shite degrees and federal student loans.
Fact of the matter is a lot of universities will be having big problems next school year if the highly likely federal budget problem isn't sorted out this fall anyways. United States has been living on borrowed time since the 2008 crash. Quite a few are expecting a government shut down this fall since they don't think they are going to have the votes to increase the budget again. Lots of cuts are on the way.

I almost - not really - hope one or more of your fine institutions winds up facing something like this one of these days. Yes, MU's administration handled this terribly, but there really wasn't a 'good' way to handle it. This is 2015/2017. Do you honestly believe that you can just 'clear the quad.'
We keep our school clean so there never would've been a poop swastika to begin with.

Why would funding remain status quo when enrollment numbers have been in a steady decline and are forecast to drop even more?

wow. you guys suck. My University has put 650MM in new capital expenditures because enrollment is growing so much.

the good way to handle it was not to handle it terribly.
Delicate situation that was going to take sharp and immediate turns based on how the MU admin handled it... results speak for themselves.
Hope we all learned from it.
