appointed President after University System President Tim Wolfe was forced to resign at the demand of the protesters. It sounded like he had been egging things on from behind the scenes from some stories I had read.
He was replaced in 2017, but the turmoil still hadn't really died down for awhile & I think a lot of prospective students probably had at least some perceptions that weren't as positive regarding the University of Missouri as had been the case previously.
I think it is just wishful thinking to believe that it all blew over after the resignations.
