BREAKING UPDATE: Missouri president Tim Wolfe has resigned

The Missouri Students Association, the university’s student government, became the latest group to publicly call for president Tim Wolfe’s resignation on Monday in a letter addressed to the University of Missouri System Board of Curators.

Highlights from the letter:

Some students attend school for education. For our students, the struggles of living on this campus have too often been met by the silent bureaucracy of an inadequate system. As such, the mental health, academic quality, and physical safety of our black students has been compromised time and time again. Now, the campus climate has grown so tumultuous that all of our students are unable to pursue the very reason they attend this institution.

As the Executive Cabinet of the undergraduate student government, representing 27,000 undergraduates at the University of Missouri’s flagship institution, we formally demand the immediate removal of UM System President Tim Wolfe.

Here is the letter in its entirety:
