Description

In November 2015, University of Missouri System President, Tim Wolfe, resigned amid allegations that he failed to address racial inequality and discrimination. Leading up to his resignation, students had protested, the football team (including the head coach and 30 African-American players) announced they would not play football until the president was removed, an African-American graduate student went on a hunger strike, and state lawmakers got involved.
For this case study, research and summarize the facts of what happened at the University of Missouri that led to Wolfe’s resignation. Next, provide your analysis of how university administrators could have addressed the claims of racism and avoided this devolving into such a public and contentious situation. Finally, recall your work in Module 2 and discuss how the administrative context of a public university like the University of Missouri impacts a scenario of this type that involves allegations of racial inequality and discrimination.
