Mizzou fans, presumably, gave those donations. I'm missing your point.
The enrollment drop has been an issue. The university is working to address it (turning over leadership, taking steps to foster better communication with students.)
They knew a drop was coming because of changing situations in neighboring states that were going to send fewer Illinois kids to Columbia, and because there was a 10-12 percent drop in graduating seniors in Mizzou's primary enrollment areas.
The protests and fallout made it worse. Some minorities have been turned off because they're concerned about the situation on campus. Some white people have been turned off by the protests. It has hurt them on both ends of the spectrum, which sucks.
But I'll ask again, since you say you're done: What did you expect the university to do in reaction?
All key leadership (president, chancellor): changed
Melissa Click: denied tenure and therefore disposed of in a clean, legal way with no potential for drawn out lawsuits alleging violations of her first amendment rights, which were a very real threat has she been terminated immediately like so many wanted
Football coach: gone
Strength coach/scapegoat: gone
What else do you need/want to see? I'm asking seriously, because I can't get anyone who is still turned off by the protests to answer that question.
