Hey you know what? Every M*ch*gan fan I've ever met has been an unbridled arrogant ass and I'm sick of having to deal with it. They never change.
You guys wanna get a mob started and see if we can get them to fire someone over it? Harbaugh maybe?

Was having flashbacks of Cardale's tweet on that in the offseason.
Wow, so a lot more going on than just the race issues.
Cutting Grad student's health insurance w/13 days notice was apparently the catalyst for a lot of bad shit.
Then there was the AAU survey suggesting a startling amount of sexual violence going on.
Then there's all this shit w/Planned Parenthood
Back to the Grad students getting fucked, and unionizing
And amid all this the racial tension is broiling with the few incidents already covered... then a sit-in (incl Professors fwiw)
Then you have some idiots burning an ISIS flag (You're at a flagship University in the US and you're acting like a bunch of brainwashed peasants in Saudi Arabia now? ISIS sucks... so do something about it, burning flags is just an idiotic circle jerk)
That said, some of the shit going on seems ridiculous. Like Thomas Jefferson... yea, he owned slaves but he's also responsible for ending America's involvement with the slave trade. Or those "1839 was built on my B(l)ack" shirts. You weren't alive in 1839... yea, shit happened and it was bad. But you didn't build shit... and you have an opportunity at a flagship University to do something positive in the 21st century. It smacks of empty circle-jerk "aren't I a badass/special snowflake/whatever" rhetoric, just as much as the aforementioned ISIS flag burning.
The list of demands are also rather... excessive. Usually it doesn't work to issue ultimatums, and giving 8 days to respond is so unrealistic that almost seems more like a PR stunt. "We gave them a chance!!"... Unis, Government, etc. aren't setup to act in a fast way and it's not a natural disaster warranting those kind of resources either.
Then there's another 3-credit General Ed req they're talking about adding...
Educational, School and Counseling Psychology 2000: Experiencing Cultural Diversity in the United States
So you won't just be required to do sensitivity training, you get to pay for it! And it lasts ~40 hours. On the flipside, it should be a slamdunk as a GPA builder for a free "A" with minimal effort, and they'd have to cut 3 credits from some other stupid req. BTW, I had to take 3 sem hours on "Cultural Diversity" myself... so... not that unusual at this point. It was just as useless, esp since the Prof had never even left the State let alone the country.
The English department unanimously(!) submits a vote of no-confidence in the administration... I have no love for English teachers, but that's pretty dire.
And finally, Wolfe does resign... but nothing is really accomplished. At least at this point. I suppose it sets a precedent for the future, but right now it looks lose-lose to me. Oh, and it seems the grad students are still screwed w/no healthcare and crap benefits =/
But at least they got those cool shirts, took pictures with Jeffersons statue, burned some flags, and got an elitist prick fired. I'm always reminded how the Roman patricians sated the plebs with cheap entertainment and "compromises" that led to no actual change in the status quo.

I don't want Harbaugh fired. I expect him to provide us with a great deal of top notch entertainment over the next few years.

Question is, in this day of national camps and social media where so many top recruits are friendly with one another, when does another Maurice Clarett come along, a Jeremy Bloom, or maybe a Marshon Lattimore that gets injured for his school, thus sets off a movement of players across the country deciding to boycott a common Saturday and keep any games from being played until they get paid?
What 1/4th of Missouri's team just demonstrated could have far-reaching ramifications.

Meet The Mizzou Media Professor Who’s Trying To Ban Media Coverage
NOVEMBER 9, 2015 By Sean Davis
After desperately trying to gin up media coverage of student protests at the University of Missouri, one of the school’s media professors is nowfuriously trying to “muscle” the press off campus to prevent them from covering student protests that rapidly spiraled out of control Monday.
Mizzou president Timothy Wolfe announced his resignation on Monday after members of the school’s 4-5 football team announced they wouldboycott team activities unless the school acceded to certain demands surrounding racial equality. Unsurprisingly, Wolfe’s resignation did little to quell the mob.
On Monday afternoon, activists who had demanded Wolfe’s resignation abruptly demanded that media stop covering their activities on the public campus of the taxpayer-funded university. At the center of those demands was Melissa Click, an assistant professor of mass media within Mizzou’s communications department.
In the video below, you can see Click ask for “muscle” to help her bully a Mizzou student into not covering the ongoing mob protests:

SoCal, Baby!
Your complaint about the "schizophrenic" nature of The Atlantic (my personal favorite opinion magazine) is misdirected; The Atlantic includes thought articles from a spectrum of points of view; it aims to educate through providing alternative and opposing viewpoints. That's the big reason I like the mag, because in reading it I feel like I've understood the opinions better of those I disagree with.
If you read back issues of The Atlantic, you'll see that they've presented a number of pieces lamenting the ever-increasing intrusion of political correctness into campus life and, more generally, into society.
Back to Mizzou: of course President Wolfe is a scapegoat. And of course the black students at Mizzou are behaving like recently-empowered bullies. That's unfortunately the only way things can change sometimes. Hope the deep-seated problems (assuming they actually exist beyond the easily-offended few) can be solved by the new administration.

Eye to the future, honoring the past
Usually you and I agree, Max, but to single out only the African-American students on your comment above on this is beneath you, my friend.
This was a multi-cultural protest. There were both Black and White students and facility members protesting for these changes.
The state of Missouri is far from sterling when it comes to race relations. My mother is from Wardell, Missouri, and she's got stories from when she was coming up that will make a grown assed man break down in tears. She also stated that in some places in Missouri, the same thing still happens to this day.

No doubt this has already moved beyond black/white.
The social justice mobs are truly multicultural. It's ironic, but scary, that they are willing to become what they are fighting against to deliver "justice."

"Barkin' up the wrong tree"
They tried that already an Harbaugh told them to pound sand.
Sure they had a private "closed door meeting" but I'm fairly certain the meeting was to reinforce the fact that he's not going to listen to any of them.
