I think the most interesting part about all of this is that we’re just the first school (and most vocal) to have large protests. We’re certainly not the only school with problems and the fact that there are many other colleges who are now holding protests and demanding the resignation of their deans/presidents (Claremont McKenna, for instance) shows that this isn’t some anomaly that we’re going through, whether you agree with the protests or not, it’s happening elsewhere.
I certainly wouldn’t say “Yeah, people should totally come here” now, I would never try to persuade someone to come here while we’re going through this, but Mizzou isn’t an inherently bad place.
