Mizzou Pays a Price for Appeasing the Left
Enrollment is down more than 2,000. The campus has had to take seven
dormitories out of service.
As classes begin this week, freshmen enrollment is down 35% since the
protests, according to the latest numbers the university has publicly
released. Mizzou is beginning the year with the smallest incoming class
since 1999. Overall enrollment is down by more than 2,000 students, to 33,
200. The campus has taken seven dormitories out of service.
The plummeting support has also cost jobs. In May, Mizzou announced it would
lay off as many as 100 people and eliminate 300 more positions through
retirement and attrition. Last year the university reduced its library staff
and cut 50 cleaning and maintenance jobs.
Mizzou’s 2016 football season drew almost 13,000 fewer attendees than in
2015, local media reported. During basketball games, one-third of the seats
in the Mizzou Arena sat empty.
The university says its teams’ losing streaks have driven away fans, state
budget cuts have strained its finances, and competition from other nearby
universities has contributed to its lowered enrollment. But the protests
were the truly catastrophic factor, compounding the other difficulties.
Administrators saw it coming during the crisis, when they fretted in emails
about “a PR nightmare” and “the middle of the road people we’re losing.
” The past three semesters have validated their worst fears.
This phenomenon isn’t limited to Mizzou. Private institutions like Yale and
Middlebury aren’t covered by public-records laws, so they can conceal the
backlash. But when public universities have released emails after giving in
to campus radicals, they have consistently shown administrators face the
same public outrage.
Virginia Tech received numerous phone calls and more than 100 angry emails
last year after it disinvited Jason Riley, a columnist for this newspaper,
from speaking on campus. “While we can respond to the people who write to
us, we cannot dispel the negative impression created by the media against
the president, the university, the dean and the college and the department,
” one administrator woefully told his colleagues.
Virginia Tech administrators also noted that news of the debacle reached
millions on Twitter , where the reactions were “overwhelmingly negative
toward the university and higher education in general.” Once again, a
frustrated public vowed to yank support.
Universities have consistently underestimated the power of a furious public.
At the same time, they’ve overestimated the power of student activists,
who have only as much influence as administrators give them. Far from
avoiding controversy, administrators who respond to campus radicals with
cowardice and capitulation should expect to pay a steep price for years.

这是因为他们还不够左，
应该积极响应三德子的主张，
上学乃是free shit,
一free了一定有垃圾来报到，
当然，钱从哪儿来我不管，问三德子。
