Moonbattery is bad for business. Target demonstrates its effect on retail, Pepsi on advertising. Regarding the education industry, the best example is provided by the University of Missouri, which knuckled under to cartoonishly unreasonable Black Lives Matter thugs, even allowing them to drive out President Tim Wolfe. The mob runs Mizzou now. The results were predictable:
Center, Responsibility and Discovery residence halls will be “taken offline” next year due to low freshman enrollment, Residential Life Director Frankie Minor said in an email obtained by The Maneater. …
If demand does not increase, that brings the total number of halls that will be offline next year to seven. The department announced in April 2016 it would be closing Respect and Excellence. In December, Residence Halls Association President Matt Bourke confirmed that the department planned to take Schurz and McDavid offline based on decreased anticipated class size.
At the time, Minor said in a presentation to RHA Congress that 23.5 percent fewer freshmen than anticipated signed housing contracts. The email Sunday stated that ResLife had ”better information” that indicated a need for “additional adjustments.”
That is, the situation continues to deteriorate.
Responsibility, Respect, and Excellence are closing down. Could anything be more emblematic of the effect leftism has had on higher education and society in general?
Mizzou might still be able to turn the situation around by expelling militant troublemakers of color and making it clear that the grownups are taking charge. But then ESPN might stop giving the school awards for its moonbattery.
