Karma is a *****.

Enrollment at the University of Missouri's Columbia campus is down more than 2,200 students this year — including a drop of at least 1,400 freshmen — and the lower numbers appear to be the result of fallout from the Black Lives Matter movement, according to a report in The Daily Caller.

"It's not hard to find the cause of the school's woes," The Caller's Blake Neff writes, noting that last year, a black activist group called Concerned Student 1950 claimed the school was rife with racism and demanded MU president Thomas Wolfe's ouster.

He wrote after African American members of the university's football team went on strike, their demands were met. Then, communications professor Melissa Click attacked a student journalist covering campus protests, 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," Neff wrrot

"[The University of Missouri] 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."

One of my sons is a senior at Mizzou and is a Journalism (Sports) major. Mizou has one of the top J Schools in the nation and his experience has enabled working for ESPN, sports show hosting on the local tv station, reporting and traveling to most football games, and interviewing some very influential people and not just in the State of Missouri.
He walked past these "demonstrations every day and it was a non issue for most students but of course the media didn't report that. To the majority of Mizzou students this was a minor distraction at best but the Administration sure screwed their response and actions up.

It is always the administration's fault! No one else is to blame for any of it.

The administration is blamed either way - they caused it or they didn't fix it in the view of others. So either way, it is administrations fault.
