Mizzou continues to suffer after caving to left
https://www.wsj.com/articles/mizzou-pays...1503258538
"He was not alone. Thousands of pages of emails I obtained through the Missouri Freedom of Information Act show that many alumni and other supporters were disgusted with administrators’ feeble response to the disruptions. Like Mr. Vaughn, many promised they’d stop attending athletic events. Others vowed they’d never send their children or grandchildren to the university. It now appears many of them have made good on those promises....
As classes begin this week, freshmen enrollment is down 35% since the protests, according to the latest numbers the university has publicly released. Mizzou is beginning the year with the smallest incoming class since 1999. Overall enrollment is down by more than 2,000 students, to 33,200. The campus has taken seven dormitories out of service.
The plummeting support has also cost jobs. In May, Mizzou announced it would lay off as many as 100 people and eliminate 300 more positions through retirement and attrition. Last year the university reduced its library staff and cut 50 cleaning and maintenance jobs.
Mizzou’s 2016 football season drew almost 13,000 fewer attendees than in 2015, local media reported. During basketball games, one-third of the seats in the Mizzou Arena sat empty. "

One would hope this example might cause pause for the liberal academic left in their headlong attempt to legislate equal outcomes and the kowtowing to every SJW demand under the sun............................but, probably not.

Tulane has a progressive reputation. Nobody goes there to experience conservative theory.

Unlike liberals, us Conservatives can honor our word. They said that they wouldnt send their kids there and they are keeping their promises.

Trump must not be a conservative then. No wall. No healthcare reform. No tax reform. No tax release. No Hillary in jail. Amping up Afghanistan troop numbers. Escalating war tensions.

You probably need to fact check that post. I know I fact check anything said by dishonorable people.

While it is really easy to kick Mizzou while they are down people should be under no illusion that their alma mater would not have done the exact same thing Mizzou did under the circumstances.

His party has control of the house, senate, executive branch. Let me know what giant road blocks he's facing beyond his own ineptitude.

It's still a good school. This only means that the tuition will deflate and make attendance easier for working adults.
In a way, everyone wins here.

Maybe because too many in his own party really don't want to put their name on any meaningful legislation for fear of it being used against them.
Face it - most in congress really only care that they get re-elected. None of them are keen on doing much of anything of note.....
