Mizzou Officially Bans Campus Protesting After The Latest Demands: Tuition-Free Public College and Cancellation of All Student Debt

Columbia Trib – Officials at the University of Missouri are no longer allowing protests that disrupt campus operations.

MU police told a group of 15 student protesters Wednesday that they would face arrest or student discipline proceedings if their protests disrupted university business.

MUPD Major Brian Weimer, who followed the protesters as they went from the Student Center to Jesse Hall, said the university decided to start enforcing an existing policy against disruptions after receiving complaints from people on campus about past protests.

MU spokeswoman Mary Jo Banken cited Chapter 110 of the UM System’s Collected Rules and Regulations, which says the university can ‘set reasonable time, place and manner restrictions’ on all meetings to prevent ‘interference with the right of students to obtain an education.’

Good for Mizzou for standing up and putting their foot down, being proactive about student protests before they disrupt campus life too much and have a negative effect on the university.

Ah shit. My bad. Must be late to the party. Didn’t realize the never ending protests over the poop swastika have caused everyone to stop enrolling in the college, dorms to be shut down because of a lack of new students, salaries being cut, massive layoffs, retirement benefits slashed, maintenance workers/janitors being fired across the board, alumni donations drying up, lawmakers refusing budget aid.

I will say, you kind of have to respect the new demands though.

The student protesters were part of a day of action against racism and student debt coordinated by the Million Student March. The nationwide protest sought tuition-free public college, cancellation of all student debt, a $15 minimum wage for all campus workers and divestment from private prisons by all higher education institutions.

Personally I didn’t think the last ones went far enough:

Free college for everyone! You get free college, and you get free college, and you get free college!

And if you already went to college, no worries, we’re taking that student debt and just cancelling it, so now YOU get free college too!
