Why exactly are they wanting him to step down? The white students are racist, and he has not done anything about it. According to the black students....... Freedom of speech only runs one way in their minds. |

Freedom of speech only runs one way in their minds. I realize I'm not supposed to ask these kinds of questions, but let us assume that the white students are racists. Unless they act on their racism, and actions are taken that do demonstrable harm to the African-American students, what exactly is the University supposed to do? This is a rhetorical question, I'm certain this will end in some wildly inappropriate and illegitimate action will ultimately be taken (which will serve to affirm the racist ideas some of the white students may hold). Over here in reality where I live, students have every right to hold, and even express their racist views. It's part of living in a free country, and once upon a time we all collectively agreed that the benefits of freedom to express abhorrent ideas outweighed the harm done by having a "thought police" and speech codes. |

I'm not sure I see why he had to resign, unless he was concerned over the student doing the hunger strike. I have to wonder at what point does a person doing a hunger strike become a danger to themselves or is it only looked badly on the administrator for not resigning if the student were to eventually die from it? While I have no doubt that some of the white students may have expressed racist ideas, I am equally sure there are some AA students who have also expressed some racists ideas (including some of those who think the university president should step down unless he acknowledges his "white privilege" according to the original story). |

He was white 2. He only has a bachelor's degree 3. Of course the natural response to a laundry list of complaints, not one of them citing anything specific, should result in a resignation. |

Didn't Micheal Sam graduate from University of Missouri? What happened to the glorious atmosphere that once blanketed this citadel of love and tolerance?  |

And now we have problems at Yale.
Seems they are unhappy there too.
One of the problems is the residence hall named after Calhoun.
You know one of our country's most famous political orators.
Can't have that. He owned slaves.
Just like the Confederate flag.....make it disappear. damn our history whether it is good or bad.
Our University students are just another strain of the Taliban in some respects......

It probably has more to do with influential alumni and how much they care about the success of sports at their alma mater. |

I admit since this was Missouri and you had Fergeson last year, the University should have been more involved, but, students do not run the place. I imagine some alumni did get involved, but we knew this guys days were numbered, due to political correctness. |

Black thugs are smarter than that. They just shoot you when they carjack you. It's always about the money........ |

Black thugs? I thought they were synonyms in your world. But you are missing the point- the conservative media spent all their time trying to prove that the racism was manufactured by and the fault of black people. They did not spend one damn minute on the 4 people that threatened to kill all blacks on campus- funny you never hear black people do that. All of these terrorist threats are from young, white, uneducated losers. The only logical determination from all of this is that the right wing is comprised of a shitload of racists- at least the ones with a media outlet. They give not one shit about the facts, they just gang up and attack the victims, because they know they have to- that's their base- the southern strategy endgame- and the GOP is too scared to jettison that boat anchor. Good luck with that in 2016 |
