Calling people "thugs" because they hold different beliefs and have different experiences only makes one look ignorant.
I'm pretty sure they are being called that due to the way they are/were acting. Like screaming in white people's faces while they are pinned to a wall.
Most go to college to get educated, not become activists.
Not surprised to see this especially that big drop in graduate applications.
Yup...the entire school has been tainted by the stain of a few students behaving badly. Reputation matters, and Mizzou's reputation took a big hit. It'll be a while before it recovers what prestige it had.
FWIW, I am a UT-Austin alum. People still bring up Charles Whitman in conversations with me about UT, and that happened well before I was born. This August will make 50 years since he shot and killed 14 people in and from the UT tower.
Not saying that what went down at Mizzou last semester in any way approaches the notoriety of what Whitman did...I'm using it as an example of how a huge news-making event can still color someone's perceptions decades later.
