The president of the University of Missouri system stepped down Monday amid criticism of his handling of student complaints about race and discrimination.
President Tim Wolfe said his resignation was effective immediately. He made the announcement at the start of what had been expected to be a long closed-door meeting of the school's governing board. He largely pre-empted that session in a halting statement that was simultaneously apologetic, clumsy and defiant.
"This is not the way change comes about," he said, alluding to recent protests. "We stopped listening to each other."

Missouri players react to president Tim Wolfe resigning
Missouri players took to Twitter to express their happiness and relief following school president Tim Wolfe's resignation.
Notable protests involving college football athletes
With Missouri football players planning to go on strike until the school's president is removed, ESPN Stats & Info has compiled a list of notable protests involving college football players.
He urged students, faculty and staff to "use my resignation to heal and start talking again to make the changes necessary."
A poor audio feed for the one board member who was attending the meeting via conference call left Wolfe standing awkwardly at the podium for nearly three minutes after reading only the first sentence of his statement.
The race complaints came to a head over the weekend, when at least 30 black football players announced they would not participate in team activities until Wolfe was gone.
For months, black student groups have complained of racial slurs and other slights on the overwhelmingly white flagship campus of the state's four-college system. Frustrations flared during a homecoming parade Oct. 10 when protesters blocked Wolfe's car, and he did not get out and talk to them. They were removed by police.
Black members of the football team joined the outcry on Saturday night. By Sunday, a campus sit-in had grown, graduate student groups planned walkouts and politicians began to weigh in.
Until Monday, Wolfe did not indicate that he had any intention of stepping down. He agreed in a statement issued Sunday that "change is needed" and said the university was working to draw up a plan by April to promote diversity and tolerance.
Missouri governor Jay Nixon said in a statement Wolfe's resignation was "a necessary step toward healing and reconciliation on the University of Missouri campus."
"There is more work to do, and now the University of Missouri must move forward -- united by a commitment to excellence, and respect and tolerance for all," Nixon said.
The Tigers' next game is Saturday against BYU at Arrowhead Stadium, the home of the NFL's Kansas City Chiefs, and canceling it could have cost the school more than $1 million. Players have confirmed the game will be played as scheduled and they'll practice on Tuesday.
"The athletes of color on the University of Missouri football team truly believe 'Injustice Anywhere is a threat to Justice Everywhere,'" the players said in a statement. "We will no longer participate in any football related activities until President Tim Wolfe resigns or is removed due to his negligence toward marginalized students' experience. WE ARE UNITED!!!!!"
Football coach Gary Pinkel expressed solidarity on Twitter, posting a picture of the team and coaches locking arms.
Pinkel is expected to address the media Monday afternoon.
Practice and other team activities were canceled Sunday. A statement issued by Pinkel and Missouri athletic director Mack Rhoades linked the return of the protesting football players to the end of a hunger strike by a black graduate student who began the effort Nov. 2 and has vowed to not eat until Wolfe is gone.
"Our focus right now is on the health of Jonathan Butler, the concerns of our student-athletes and working with our community to address this serious issue," the statement said.
Butler, appearing on CNN in the wake of Wolfe's resignation, said his strike is over.
"This is a great first step towards change," Butler said.
Former Missouri linebacker Michael Sam said he brought Butler water on Wednesday and noted how much more attention was put on the school in less than a week.
"There was nobody here [Wednesday]. Two tents and a reporter," Sam said. "Things change when sports gets involved."
The protests began after the student government president, who is black, said in September that people in a passing pickup truck shouted racial slurs at him. In early October, members of a black student organization said slurs were hurled at them by an apparently drunken white student.
Also, a swastika drawn in feces was found recently in a dormitory bathroom.
Many of the protests have been led by an organization called Concerned Student 1950, which gets its name from the year the university accepted its first black student. Its members besieged Wolfe's car at the parade, and they have been conducting a sit-in on a campus plaza since Nov. 2.
Two trucks flying Confederate flags drove past the site Sunday, a move many saw as an attempt at intimidation. At least 150 students gathered at the plaza Sunday night to pray, sing and read Bible verses, a larger crowd than on previous days. Many planned to camp there overnight despite temperatures that had dropped into the upper 30s.

Also joining in the protest effort were two graduate student groups that called for walkouts Monday and Tuesday and the student government at the Columbia campus, the Missouri Students Association.
The association said in a letter Sunday to the system's governing body that there had been "an increase in tension and inequality with no systemic support" since last year's fatal shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, which is about 120 miles east of Columbia.
Brown, an unarmed black 18-year-old, was shot and killed by a white police officer during a struggle, and his death helped spawn the Black Lives Matter movement rebuking police treatment of minorities.
The association said Wolfe heads a university leadership that "has undeniably failed us and the students that we represent."
"He has not only enabled a culture of racism since the start of his tenure in 2012, but blatantly ignored and disrespected the concerns of students," the group wrote.
Concerned Student 1950 has demanded, among other things, that Wolfe "acknowledge his white male privilege," that he is immediately removed, and that the school adopt a mandatory racial-awareness program and hire more black faculty and staff.
One of the sit-in participants, Abigail Hollis, a black undergraduate, said the campus is "unhealthy and unsafe for us."
"The way white students are treated is in stark contrast to the way black students and other marginalized students are treated, and it's time to stop that," Hollis said. "It's 2015."
The school's undergraduate population is 79 percent white and 8 percent black. The state is about 83 percent white and nearly 12 percent black.
Wolfe, 57, is a former software executive and Missouri business school graduate whose father taught at the university. He was hired in 2011 as president, succeeding another former business executive who also lacked experience in academia.
Lawmakers and elected officials began to weigh in Sunday. The chairman of a Missouri House higher education committee, Republican Rep. Steve Cookson, said in a statement that Wolfe "can no longer effectively lead" and should leave his post.
Joining him in calling for Wolfe's resignation was Assistant House Minority Leader Gail McCann Beatty, the highest-ranking black member of that chamber.

Tim Wolfe has learned a lesson: Don't do your job, or lose your job.
I would expect you 'tards to be big supporters of at-will work arrangements.

It's a pretty sad state of affairs when people no longer are free to ride around in their trucks yelling "NIGGER!" at black people. It truly make me sad to see what this country has become.

I can only assume the story about the pick-up truck is 100% true and the racist college president was most likely in that truck shouting racial slurs. Has Obama invited the victim to the White House yet?

Our society is crumbling under the weight of politically correct madness.
Love the headline. The fact is that nobody can prevent others from being a racist or from using racist slurs .. the best that can be done is for leadership to impose a deterrant .. but doing so would be a violation of the freedom of speech.
Our nation is turning into a nation of cowardly pussies.

isn't it obvious to you fools yet any broadcast in NYc is run by counterfeit obama money. as part of the "nat. broadcasting sys." and "democrat funding"
all they do is nigga stories cloaked as a pro-republican mishap
--------------------------
AND they've been caught many times faking stories too
and not just the obama.gov in DC: students fake race card claims for all kinds of reasons
---------------------------
despite that foreigners / illegals are the majority anywhere near the Fairfax Courthouse, there is an office of minority court aid in the police building. my bet is it is situated there by democrats to keep an eye on police: bribe them or at least track them, for crime
i'm betting DC is getting minority money are they a minority in DC? of course not. it's theft. i could go on and on
--------------------------
FOX NEWS is the bitch of whichever political party is counterfeiting money and feeding it to them: they will create and play any story for the purpose
