https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/missouri/articles/2018-05-04/university-of-missouri-sees-climb-in-freshman-enrollmentCOLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — University of Missouri enrollment for the incoming freshman class is up more than 14 percent from this time last year, according to the university.
Nearly 4,550 students have already paid deposits for enrollment, which will remain open over the summer, the Columbia Missourian reported .
The forecast figure has surpassed the 2017 first-time student enrollment of fewer than 4,200, but the numbers are still under the peak of nearly 6,200 in 2015.
Money deposited certainly should appear to suggest more than "could" in your eyes.
As for the rest of your post, despite dubious claims by some in the wake of the Nov '2015 unrest, reports of the Klan or other assholes riding around in pickups trying to stir crap up, and the painting of swastikas were very real to many down there who I think were in a better position to know than you or I. And the parents emails I got from the university were pretty clear on that.
And spare us all your crocodile tears over "damaged careers"
You have proven nothing here. Enrollment is back up years after the fact. Why was it down in the first place?
The Klan was never on campus. And the poop swastika you cite has zero documentation. So your emails are about as "real" as the imaginary Klansmen hiding behind Harpos.
Spare me your offense over "hate speech" on a campus. The claims are dubious at best, and outside the power of the university to police. If you heard someone shouting at you as you walked would it be the fault of the town you were walking in? Does that mean the town should lose millions of dollars, and be smeared throughout the country as evil? That's what happened in this case.
You fraudulently posted an old article that isn't representative of the current situation. Your own words:
Enrollment is back up years after the fact, shows how anemic your plan of citing that NYT article was. But then again I posted numbers of verified increases in paid freshman enrollment that you now equally facetiously claim are empty.
We all know why enrollment dropped, but unexamined in your article were the first hand stories of kids who decided to go to substantially lesser schools because they believed the lesser schools to be the very safe spaces you rail on about. You as usual want it both ways.
You may have missed that I never said "poop" swastika. That one was debunked, but others weren't. As for the emails from the administration I cited, obviously I don't have copies of them, but it certainly is more likely that the university would have sent a dozen or two during that period to concerned parents and online than you would suggest from your still unqualified slanted perch.
It's funny though that you still cry over the area's loss of jobs/money, yet in the very same paragraph note how the treatment of minorities on campus was "outside the power of the university to police". Which one is it???
You are all emotional and lying about the facts in the case. If in the specific case you are referring to people supposedly yelled from a truck at a minority student near school grounds what is the school supposed to do about it? Answer that.
The school already has mandatory cross cultural training for incoming students, and if a student is being openly hostile to minorities he or she will be punished.
I will await my answer on the above. As for the rest- I've seen many of these emails. At no time was campus an unsafe or unwelcoming place for minority students. There is nothing fraudulent about posting the New York Times article. You have done nothing to refute it, and I posted the more recent article. I am operating from a place of good faith.

This entire piece is dedicated to not at all considering the validity of Shapiro's points. Seems fitting that this kind of hypocrisy would form the basis for Zeph's outlook on people with thoughts counter to his own.
