MU Update

Since the University of Missouri president announced his resignation, MU's chancellor has indicated that he will also be moving on.
As the two resignations were announced, the Board of Curators unveiled a slate of new initiatives to address racial tensions on campus, including hiring a diversity, inclusion and equity officer for the entire University of Missouri system. The university will also provide additional support to students, faculty and staff members who experience discrimination; create a task force to create plans for improving diversity and inclusion; and require diversity and inclusion training for all faculty, staff members and incoming students.

Josh Earnest, the White House press secretary, praised the protests as showing “that a few people speaking up and speaking out can have a profound impact.”

[Ex-president Tim] Wolfe, 57, was hired in 2012 from the corporate world, an outsider brought in to cut costs in the four-campus system.
The hatchet man got the hatchet.

Democracy Now! did a segment on the subject.
