Mizzou enrollment: Down 35% since 2015

In the fall of 2015, a grassy quadrangle at the center of the University of Missouri became known nationwide as the command center of an escalating protest.
Students complaining of official inaction in the face of racial bigotry joined forces with a graduate student on a hunger strike. Within weeks, with the aid of the football team, they had forced the university system president and the campus chancellor to resign.
It was a moment of triumph for the protesting students. But it has been a disaster for the university.

The school leadership is responsible for this. They should never have caved.

Literally one of the biggest failures of leadership I've ever seen.
To think that in a red state (which is like 82% white) that the moves they made were the right ones for the health of the university going forward is bizarre.

and...also...related but missing from the story, the nearly 10% cut from state funding. The legislature and governor have made bad situation worse. Rubbing salt in our own wounds, and hindering progress that would lead to recovery.
Unfortunately, that isn't getting much press. The legislature is going down the road already traveled by kansas, seemingly learning absolutely nothing from the situation they sit in.

Good. Now, we can kick them out of the SEC

Yes, but the important question is whether that reduced enrollment is diverse.

All this over a complete fabrication of a story (shitiska)

how does that compare to total number of Missouri high school graduates over those years?

Happened after the University was already losing students.

A Certificate from that Place says a lot about the holder of said 'certification'. An Ideological Bot in the Prog Bureaucracy is the only likely job that such a graduate would be able to successfully hold down. And Trump/Bannon is disassembling that as we type. Throw in the incurred debt with the real world irrelevant *education*...and those people are up the creek with no paddle.
Of course, they'll want Productive Americans to bail them out. It's a mess!

You mean there are some students out there who want to go to college and be productive rather than waste time and resources on issues that don't exist? I'm fricking shocked.

Actions have consequences and the leadership caving in the face of what was effectively a political fabrication and extortion racquet was their own undoing.
Sorry Mizzou, lead better next time.

You're lucky the state didn't make the cut commensurate with the enrollment decline. Have 1/3 of faculty been axed?
