University of Missouri System President Tim Wolfe announced his resignation on Monday, stemming from the ongoing on-campus boycott involving several football players.
Here’s what he said:

Wolfe: the frustration and anger I see is real, clear and I don’t doubt it for a second. Mentioned the football team — David Morrison (@DavidCMorrison) November 9, 2015
Wolfe: it is my belief we stopped listening to each other. We forced individuals like Jonathan Butler to take immediate steps.

Wolfe: this is not the way change comes about. We have to respect each other enough to stop yelling at each other, stop intimidating. — David Morrison (@DavidCMorrison) November 9, 2015
Wolfe: I take full responsibility. Use my resignation to heal and start talking again. And make the changes necessary.

Wolfe: my decision to resign comes out of love, not hate. Wolfe choking up as he reads Psalm 46:1. — David Morrison (@DavidCMorrison) November 9, 2015
