Tim Wolfe, The President of the University of Missouri has resigned after school football players said they planned a massive walkout over mishandled racial issues.
The pending protest was said to be over the way Wolfe handled several racial harassment cases over the past year, including one that involved human feces to draw a swastika.
Wolfe just issued a statement saying, “My motivation in making this decision comes from love. I love MU … Columbia where I grew up and the state of Missouri.” “I thought and prayed about this decision … it’s the right thing to do.” “The response to this announcement I’m sure ranges from joy for some to anger to others and that’s why we’re here today.” h/t tmz
No word yet on who will replace Wolfe but ultimately it will fall to the Board of Curators. A closed session was scheduled for Monday.
