Over the past few days, students at Mizzou have gained attention for their protests of the deplorable trauma they are subject to. Most recently, there was a swastika drawn with human feces on campus. The list of demands from Concerned Student 1950 was delivered to the UM Board of Curators, including a call for the removal of UM System President Tim Wolfe.

Since the announcement of student Jonathan Butler’s hunger strike, a plethora of academic departments, figures in Missouri government and student organizations have publicized their support.

The President has released a statement on the matter. Many insist that it’s not enough and are still calling for his resignation.
