So more about those not going there than those that stayed or chose to go there.

Actions have consequences and the leadership caving in the face of what was effectively a political fabrication and extortion racquet was their own undoing.

i told my very smart but very poor neice to apply to mizzou. It is a good school and with enrollment dropping, probably open up scholarships.
her mother nixed it as being too far away from home.
she is a GT.

I don't think they necessarily caved. I think they wanted the frick out of Dodge and didn't give a shite once it reached a breaking point.

I would rethink going to Mizzou after the faculty coup and SJW nonsense. 35% is pretty extreme though.

that's interesting
so could this story be a double-sided dildo for Mizzou?
1. non-SJW white people are like "frick that progressive circus" and avoiding being called x-ists for 4 years
2. SJW-minded minorities are like "frick that oppressive circus" from the press clippings of the protests

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

.related but missing from the story, the nearly 10% cut from state funding. The legislature and governor have made bad situation worse.
Drastic cuts in state funding for public universities in AL
Auburn University's enrollment increased by more than 7% during that period of reduced funding. The University of Alabama's enrollment grew by a full third: up 33.6% from 2008 to 2014.

Reductions in state funding may not have helped Mizzou, but I seriously doubt they had much of an effect on total campus enrollment.
It appears that thousands of potential students just decided they'd rather be somewhere else.

Wonder how many of the Prog professors supporting that nonsense are now clinging to an uncertain job.

I have a family member who's daughter is a senior there and she said the bad press they have received is felt throughout the campus.
I almost feel sorry for them b/c the students (well most of them) had nothing to do with the admin's nor football players/coaches decision to be retards.

From the article:
Yup, this will fix it . . .

Missouri also has appointed a chief diversity officer; promised to double the percentage of minority faculty members by 2020 and recruit more minority postdoctoral fellows; and is requiring diversity training for faculty and staff members and incoming students.

Let me post the some of the first comments from the NYT facebook page about this story:
In conclusion, the admin was wrong, but because they didn't do enough for protesters and allowed racism to exist.

quote:
Danny Mauras The entire state is becoming a conservative cesspool of fanatic religious rhetoric and corporate greed. In no time at all I can see people just leaving the state to find a life without absurd laws and regulations killing their dreams and their lives
Bill Stout The protest is the foundation of this nation. If you're against protests, then you're un-American.
Vince Atchison Could be the red states see education as liberal brainwashing and think you can learn everything you need to from high school and church?
Rob Rasmussen The University fumbled this bigtime, should have embraced the students and given them real voice, instead they sat on their hands and became the state's scapegoat.
Kevin Kelly Missouri just rolled back min wages. Why would anyone want to live there, never mind paying tuition.
Lauren Supraner "fall out from the protests?" don't you mean "fall out from the reason for the protests?"
Tom Johnson Mizzou and Columbia were a racist and misogynist campus even when my wife and I went there back in the early 1980's. The racial slurs and innuendo against minorities and women were common. As white students ourselves, we weren't subject to it, but our fellow students thought it was normal to be prejudiced. Add to that, the dominance of the athletic department. Being asked to change grades for athletes so they could remain eligible was a constant problem. We left the state and never returned.
Linda Anderson Two things happening in the same general time frame does not show causation. Missouri has become one of the most insanely right wing states in America, and that is just as likely the cause of lower enrollments as the protests, especially since part of the right wing agenda is to starve education of funding and to let gun nuts roam freely.
Patrick Clark it is not liberal or conservative--the protesters were a direct outgrowth of overt racism. at the first sign of locals yelling racist slurs at black students, the leadership if the university should have come loud and strong -- and they did not
Karen Baltajian The arguments some people are making here are absurd, essentially saying that tuition-paying minority students should not demand the university address and work to eliminate racism on campus, but tuition-paying white students should demand the university address and work to eliminate protests on campus.
Brent Porter Skelton Missouri is a member of the SEC in athletics. This conference is the wealthiest and most powerful by far. Other schools are outright tar and feathering them for being "Social Justice Warriors". There is a touch of southern conservative politics swirling around here.
Kathy Robins It seems that the moral to this story is to make racism of any kind so unpopular from the beginning that everyone who goes there enjoys it and by word of mouth your University is prosperous, diverse, and successful.

When you are shuttering 7 dorms and cutting 400 positions, it only makes sense to cut funding.

The entire article seems to convey those exact sentiments.
