Fallout: University of Missouri struggles with $50 million shortfall, reduced enrollment after racial protests
Andrew Johnson - University of Denver •June 29, 2018
School cuts 185 positions in response to funding crisis
The University of Missouri recently announced major budget and staffing cuts, the latest move the university has made in response to financial and political crises following racial protests that rocked the public system’s flagship campus in fall 2015.
The school has suffered from a negative public image and reduced funding in the wake of the protests. State funding cuts
and continuing depressed enrollment resulted in a $49 million budget shortfall. To cope, the administration laid off 30 employees and permanently eliminated 155 vacant positions.
