The price of racism at the University of Missouri

11. The legislature is the culprit for slashing the funding. The actual drop in students is far lower.

You may have a point about how students feel about campus racism but your "facts" deviate from the story you reference.

There is divided opinion in Columbia about the economic effect of lowered applications, if you read the entire piece attendance is not down by 1500 but by approximately 150. The projected numbers and shortfall are based in the Legislature's pogroms.

The Republican dominated legislature is working to dismantle the Public University system and Mizzou in particular through huge cuts in spending and have used any available excuse to do so. While there are indeed significant racial issues on campus your remarks do little to shed useful light on them or the response to them.

There is another price paid here and it is not due to campus racism but rather lazy journalism.
