  1. Do we actually know what type of students are failing to enroll at Missouri? I haven’t seen anything concrete in the news stories about it. We are assuming it is students who don’t want to go to a school run by spineless administrators, but it could also be students who are hearing all the protests about racism on campus and don’t want to go to a racist school.

  2. The university system is also seeing significant budget cuts from the state of Missouri.

    The cuts that include a hiring freeze, no pay raises for the fall and a 5 percent reduction in general fund spending were announced Monday by interim Chancellor Hank Foley. Those steps are expected to cover $20 million to $22 million of a $32 million shortfall in tuition revenue; the remainder will come from reserve funds.

    The cuts do not include steps that might be taken if lawmakers also reduce state support. The budget approved Thursday in the Missouri House reduces funding for the Columbia campus by $1 million and support for the system administration by $7.6 million.

  3. Remove politics and resources get used. Reminds me of the empty ‘modern’ cities in China.
