LOCKED: Missouri President Resigns...

[57stratdawg]

.... And locked

 

[prairiedawg]

Wow, when the team has a bad year usually they fire the coach?

 

[Predestined]

Great. Now the football team can get on with losing games

without having to forfeit.

What a precedent.

I really just wanna know what that dude is gonna eat for his first meal. I mean he was down to death or this very meal so its a huge decision for him.

Tough call. If you eat too much, things could get very ugly. Eff it. I'm going with a triple stack combo from Wendy's Biggie sized. Then go hibernate and CHILL REAL HARD.

I don't think precedent is even something you consider when going through with something like this.

You can't have a laundry list of racial stuff going on campus, including someone drawing swastikas on bathroom walls with human ****, and just not address any of it. Ever. Give Ole Miss credit (and every other southern school for that matter, but they're especially relevant in race relations), their administration is ahead of everything. No one is even talking about the KKK people they had on campus a few weeks ago.

This isn't the first time students have ousted a president. Won't be the last, unfortunately. Happens when schools hire people with zero academia experience.

Agree. The president had no choice. Right or wrong, they were faced with not fielding a football team this weekend. That would have been a financial and PR disaster, and they'd be facing the same thing again next weekend.

Bottom line, it today's society, you can't be seen as not doing anything about racial crimes or slurs on your campus.

Arkansas might need the last game with Missouri to get bowl eligible (hopefully they won't beat us) so I know they were interested if Mizzou was going to field a team the rest of the year.

 

[00Dawg]

I'm still trying to determine...

whether it really was the system president's role to do so. The chancellor of the Columbia campus acted fairly quickly and decisively by college administrative standards. The guy who resigned is in charge of 4 campuses, and the other 3 have more students combined than Columbia does. For all we know, he instructed his subordinate to address the local issues while his in-progress system-wide review continued.

Athletic involvement as part of a protest in the past:
Late 60's/early 70's BYU/LDS protests in Wyoming and Colorado State

 

[BulldogBlitz]

To summarize his statement: "17 this , too many thin skins"

 

[Shmuley]

He exercized his "white privilege" to leave and land comfortably on his feet elsewhere.

 

[Shamoan]

he got mullened. that was one powerful loss. look out obama.
