Dale Brigham, who has been described by previous students in glowing terms such as a "sweetheart" and "adorable," had emailed students that he was canceling an exam and quitting his post in response to a backlash from current students upset that he wouldn't delay a test.

“The exam is canceled,” Brigham wrote on Wednesday. “No one will have to come to class today. And, I am resigning my position.”


What a puss. If your students don't show up to the test, then they should all receive big fat Fs.

I don't blame him. The University of Missouri isn't an institution of higher education anymore. It's a daycare.

I give him credit. He said you're taking the test, the school forced his hand so he resigned.

I like his attitude! "Frick this place" is pretty much what he was saying

I don't think you know that whole story. From what I recall, he WAS going to give them Fs, but the administration forced him to cancel/reschedule it.

His resignation is justified IMO.

No sir. It is a re-education camp, now.

So let me get this straight.


First, they force one guy to quit. Now, they are forcing another guy to work.


Boy, this Missouri is one fricked up place.

Okay, then he goes out and says this:

"I made a mistake, and I do not want to cause further harm”


He basically told them to frick off then claimed it was a mistake to say that in the first place. I like his message to begin with, but he shouldn't have caved in like that.

Dude is awesome. Read the email correspondence.

It's basically like:

Student: OMG Blacks are dying and you're worried about tests!

Prof: Never mind I could give a frick about the tests, good luck with your black panther party

They forced his hand so he said frick it

He was going to be hated afterwards even if he had the test.

He got out while he still could.

Muscona did an excellent interview with TJ Moe on Tuesday (if anyone has The Huddle/104.5 app, it's worth a listen) Dude was on point. Link has a watered down version of some of the things he said, but the version he spilled on Muscona's show was refreshing, esp coming from an alumnus:
quote:

Because if it’s the fault of the leaders, we should have impeached Barack Obama a long time ago because there’s been a lot of murders in this country under his watch.”

...don't let the headline fool you, its CBS click bait. Listen to the show for his opinion. This from a former Mizzou WR.

PS - Bama's never-ending lease over our football program not withstanding, thank God we're not Mizzou.

The students are a bunch of pussies. He should've failed any student who didn't come to the test, I'm glad he stuck up for himself. Nobody's life was in danger, it was a bunch bullshite. Black students claiming that they had targets on their backs and what not. Even the student body president tweeted out that the KKK was on campus, which they weren't. They are in for a rude awakening one day if some trolls on yik yak affect the choices they make. Go to class and don't give in to the idiots making bs threats, who may even be black to cause a bigger shite storm.

Exactly. This dude caved in after telling the school to frick off. Should have just failed all of these idiots.
