I am actually somewhat surprised it's not even more of a decline. I know I would hesitate to send my kids there after that, but that's just me. I'm sure it's still the dream school of many Missouri high school students, but I doubt very many are now deciding it would be a great choice for them if they didn't already plan to go there.

 

[tarheelhusker]

I enjoyed the comments as much as the article!

Feck Mizzou !

 

[litespeedhuskerfan]

Of course this was going to happen and for the folks in charge there who didn't take control of the situation last year, they are getting everything they deserve. Missouri degree is worth a whole lot less going forward, and I hope those racists hate mongering students that caused all this are happy.

Please, be more specific.

Which students specifically are the ones who are "racists" who were "hate mongering"? When you refer to the ones who "caused all this" that's who again?

 

[Soda Popinski]

Nice! I wouldn't want to go there if I was black either!

 

[Archie Graham]

Don't be ridiculous. Missouri has plenty of outstanding faculty that help to provide students an excellent education. That hasn't changed one bit.

I have read about the declining enrollment story on 4 or 5 different web sites this morning. Everyone allowed comments at the bottom. Every comment section was siding against the protestors and the school for the way they handled this. Many of them lived in Missouri and stated their son or daughter deciced not to attend Missouri because of the unrest there. If you think everything that's unfolded at that school in the last year brings more value to to their degree you are in denial. If you think that declining enrollment there brings more value to their degree you are wrong. If you don't think somebody in some HR department who is sifting through job applicants and see's "Missouri" isn't going to roll their eyes and think to themselves "yeah right, like I want to hire that", you're in denial.

Doesn't mean your degree is worthless. Doesn't mean you won't find a job, but it means something, and it isn't good.

If you look through resumes from applicants with a desire to stereotype their college, you have no business making hiring decisions.

To be fair, we all know HR departments have been saying this all along, just like any degree from Arkansas, Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi or Kentucky. Ignorance and racism.

 

[litespeedhuskerfan]

Ignorance and racism.

I thought the same thing when I read the list of demands from the protestors to the school.

 

[Mack In Motion]

Really? The kkk didn't have a presence on campus? In a day and age you can't take your dog for a walk without someone videoing it, there were people that beloved there was kkk activity at Mizzou, just that nobody had seen it?

 

[Archie Graham]

Those HR people are stupid and shouldn't be in charge of hiring decisions.

 

[TheBeav815]

For sure. Getting to be super tough to be white any more. I'll always remember the like...one or maybe two times somebody said something less-than-kind to me because of the color of my skin. Granted they were over a decade ago, but I sure do remember...

 

[tpmcg]

all this over a 'poop' swastika. were any of the protestors jewish?

i have a feeling this is more to do about liberal arts professors wanting to get paid more money (from endowments) than it is about campus racism. those students got used and they don't even suspect it.

 

[planored]

Be careful how you attempt to use false accusations to voice your cause, it can backfire. Professor is gone from Mizzou, if you were a University would you hire that women, I would pass and find a qualified individual without the baggage.

 

[tpmcg]

this will be an interesting situation to watch unfold.

 

[Soda Popinski]

I just read that Microsoft Excel created a special filter command to filter out University of Missouri grads from incoming resume files because of all of the demand from HR professionals. Unreal.

Accurate. Businesses nationwide are terrified of the way Mizzou grads are known to make life unfair and difficult for the white people they work with. I know at my work we've had at least 5 meetings about it.

If nothing else, you are consistent.

 

[litespeedhuskerfan]

Regardless of how any of us feel about this, the fact is, the one's who matter the most....kids and their parents, are choosing to go elsewhere at a very alarming rate. If that decline holds for a few years, they got major problems. Go ahead and pretend everything that's happened is no big deal, that nobody will ever care and no consequences could possibly ever arise down the line, the fact is the most important people in this entire equation, disagree with that line of thinking and are voting with their wallet. Hope those protestors are happy.

How do you know that people don't want to go there because they think it's a racist school?

 

[planored]

Do you think it was proven a racist campus? More likely an extremely small % trying to spew hate and ruin lives for nothing of substance. Mizzou will be in the Summit league with 20% loss in applicants each year.

 

[Soda Popinski]

Because Breitbart.com is a credible source. Just like MSNBC.

So a Ivy League school is the same as Peru State?

Hey, them's fightin' words right there. Go Bobcats!

Not trying to slam anyone. Just trying to get what the anger is about this time.

Well that's a reasonable question, and I've followed this story as close as most, if not closer, and everything I've read has indicated this was a lot of trumped up B.S. right down to the hoax with the poop picture that was stolen off the 'Net and portrayed as recent, at that campus, that helped start all this mess.

There is virtually little to zero evidence this was anything but a normal college campus, for better or worse, it was by most reasonable accounts, a very normal campus. I'm all ears though, and I mean that, I have big ears. Feel free to enlighten me with the facts showing it was a racist campus, my mind can be changed. Change it.

Whatever! Insert "it's so hard being white" reply here...

Beav I was wondering what you ended up doing about your car? Did you buy one, and what did you get? Dealer or private party?

 

[newAD]

Can't say I'm surprised. I do know one HS senior who is very bright who was considering Mizzou. This stuff happened and poof, dropped MU from consideration.

Absolutely! Again, nobody wants to attend a racist institution.

The issue is, the Missouri Legislature and residents are showing Mizzou who is the boss. The U of M's intolerance of her liberal administrators got a past due reality check.

As for your question, I suppose anyone meeting Mizzou's qualifications could enroll. I wouldn't have the faintest idea of racial stats. You could dig into it, if it's that important to you.

 

[newAD]

Absolutely! Again, nobody wants to attend a racist institution.

I think this student's concerns were:

*A small group of students making claims that were not proven.

*A small group of students making claims that were shown to be completely false.

*A small group of students trying to hold the University responsible for alleged incidents that occurred off campus (where they have zero jurisdiction).

*University officials resigning/being forced out over these claims.

Sounds like the inmates running the asylum, and not a place where people would want to spend thousands of dollars a year to go to school. I'd say no one wants to send their kids to a lack of common sense institution.

Here's the breakdown of the school population.

I think reports of students' use of the n word while addressing a person of color while on or off campus -whether it's substantiated or not- is serious, and the administration should take these reports seriously. They didn't, repeatedly.

After all the racial tension in the last few years in this country and in Missouri, specifically, that's a really bad idea.

Bullshit. This stuff needs to be proven. "It might have happened" is a terrible reason to freak out. But given our ultra-sensitive society that is hell bent on bearing the cross of people they don't have one damn thing in common with...... lends itself to false accusations and zero repercussions for the lying accusers.

.

Then you need way thicker skin or you're going to miss a lot of sleep. Exactly what is the University to do if somebody claims somebody else in town said the N word to them while driving down the street, off campus? Seriously, exactly what in the freaking heck are they supposed to do? All I can think of is file a police report. I am curious if that was ever done, and were they so stupid they needed to be told to do it if they were so concerned? Good lord do you realize the turmoil this all caused? From an alleged N word blast across town from one guy that nobody else saw happen? And a fake picture? For all this?

An unsubstantiated allegation is serious?

Where is the evidence it happened? Is that like the KKK being on campus. That was true. Oh wait.

Where is the evidence it was a student? If it actually happened, and it was not a student, and not on campus, what the heck can the school do? Nothing.

I'm not condoning it if it happened, but these are allegations that someone said something. We'll where are the witnesses? If it was a student, and there are witnesses, and there is evidence like video, then punish them under the school code of conduct. But evidence can't be invented, and punishments can't be handed out with no proof.

If these incidents happened, the last I knew, calling someone the N word is not against the law. I've been called that word more times than I can count. Seems kind of strange to me that it is such an unappealable word, yet it gets thrown around so losely.
