The University of Missouri’s (MU) flagship Columbia campus has officially lost a staggering 23 percent of its freshman class this year, an even worse figure than administrators initially predicted in the wake of major racial strife.

The big enrollment drop at MU has been brewing for months, but finally became a reality this week with the start of fall term on campus. MU’s freshman class this year has some 4,799 students, a drop of over 1,400 from last year, when freshmen numbered 6,211. Overall enrollment is down by over 2,200, a drop of about 7 percent, according to preliminary numbers released by the school.

The drop is even worse than officials at the school were predicting last spring. In March, interim chancellor Hank Foley warned the school was facing a drop of 1,500 students.

The decline is wreaking havoc on the school’s budget, which has a hole of about $30 million. To contain costs and reflect its shrinking population, the school has already shuttered several dormitories.

It’s not hard to find the cause of the school’s woes. Last year, the black activist group Concerned Student 1950 launched a major protest effort, claiming the school was a hotbed of racism and demanding the ouster of MU president Thomas Wolfe. After black members of the football team went on strike, their demands were swiftly met. At the same time, professor Melissa Click was caught on camera attacking a student journalist trying to cover the protests, and calling for “muscle” to carry him off if he refused to leave. Though Click was eventually fired, campus officials otherwise focused on trying to placate protesters and meet their demands, but this only spurred follow-up protests.

As imitation protests sprung up all over the country, MU rapidly became identified with a new, more vigorous brand of disruptive campus activism bolstered by the Black Lives Matter movement. Evidently, that reputation is causing thousands of students to stay far away.

maybe the only thing the University will understand!
A Big Hole in their finances!

Sadly, the BLM is about as useful as cancer.

They destroy the lives and livelihood of others, even their own, thinking somehow it will make things better.

Those in the movement who actually promote a meaningful message are the smallest represented. Meanwhile, those who incite violence and have no clue what the BLM is actually supposed to stand for draw the crowds that give the movement a bad name. Pretty much making the whole movement meaningless in the eyes of many with their violence, rhetoric, and racist innuendo.

Sadly, the one group makes it about racism and not equality.... they are NOT the same message!

While they are at it, why are they not bringing attention to the fact that the cities with the biggest problems of racial tension, murder rates, crime and inequality in general, are all governed and controlled by liberal leaderships.... as are most college campuses?

BECAUSE... It NEVER was about equality or diversity. It is about political power, a perverse vengeance & Xenophobia.

They want & have succeeded in excluding themselves. Yea... worked real for Africa, (especially South Africa). People eating out of trash cans, resorting to cannibalism... because no one is left to hire or pay them, because they were chased out or executed in the streets.

Then what happened? Hello Islamic & all life as they knew it.

Good! Placaters should been shown their actions will cost them.

BLM is NOT black lives matters it is

The thread is clearly mistitled.

According to the quoted article, BLM didn't cost the school students. "Concerned Student 1950" is said to have done so.

The BLM movement is a symptom of a cancer that already existed.

yep,and it is named George Soros The Felon and B.Obama!
