It's been a tense fall from a racial perspective at the University of Missouri, beginning with racial slurs directed at MSA president Payton Head and continuing with a Homecoming protest.
Though members of various student groups have been meeting with university president Tim Wolfe and chancellor R. Bowen Loftin (himself under fire from faculty for a host of different reasons), the Concerned Student 1950 group has been upping the ante regarding protests and stakes. So have various graduate student groups. On Monday morning, student Jonathan Butler announced that he would go on hunger strike until Wolfe resigned or was removed from office.
