What I've seen looks a lot like Wolfe isn't exactly what the faculty wants politically.

The faculty has major issues with Loftin, the University of Missouri Chancellor. Loftin runs Mizzou. Wolfe is the University of Missouri System President - over UM-Columbia (the flagship), UMSL, UMKC and UMS&T. Each school has its own chancellor. The System oversees funding, allocations and operations for all 4 schools, the healthcare system, all the technology and research, and extension. Tim Wolfe reports to the System's Board of Curators - those are political appointments by the Governor. Wolfe has certainly made some enemies, but then again - he oversees funding to all 4 schools plus healthcare and research, so he's bound to piss people off.

How do you know it was their own?

They may have borrowed it

Pull their schollies for failure to adhere to team rules and malingering. Too easy. They thought college athletes were hungry before just wait.

Suspend meal passes and dorm rooms while they are on strike. No work = no pay.

Yea this is over. The strikers have the school right where they want them. There is nothing that the school can do to fight back. Either, mizzou does nothing and the protestors start revolting and vandalising, or mizzou listens to the loud screaming and gives them free ice cream for life

Good luck Mizzou. I hope your administration tells these players to hit the road.

OH, for f*ck's sake.

This idiot must have been Michael Sam's piece on the side because he's definitely a drama queen.

To be fair Tim Wolfe is an idiot


Because he doesn't agree that a bunch of spoiled college kids who have been coddled most of their lives BECAUSE THEY ARE BLACK have suffered "systematic oppression"?

Give me a f*cking break.

What a drama queen.

Mizzou's offense might improve from the strike. It sure as hell can't get worse.

Comments in this thread are sad. The incidents being described on campus are pretty unacceptable. If people are committing these acts on campus then there definitely need to be some changes.



Uh, what? Like it or not, you're allowed to be a racist bag of shite. Also, someone using feces to make racial slurs doesn't sound like the most stable of mind.

Cut their scholarships and tell them to frick off and stop taking their free education for granted. The idiocy continues.

Mizzou won't revoke any scholarships or meal plans etc. Doing that would do irreperable damage to the athletic department.

Which will then turn into, "the white slavers at Missouri wanted to see me die and would much rather have me off the face of this earth. I will not indulge their wishes though, I have ended the hunger strike and will continue to fight the good fight.
