ReplyDeleteLooks like Mizzou and UMKC are desperate for enrollment.
Dropping ACT and SAT entrance requirements is not a good thing for higher education.
Students are now WOKE that it is not worth incurring $100,000 in student loan debt to have a Communist Professor preach about the marvels of Lenin and Stalin, the 5 Year Plan, and Marxism.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone heard of the new virus Dr demento and Bill Gates are pushing? They say it's just like polio. Funny how nurses across the county are saying the virus is way down but MSM says is way up. I guess they thought they could fool us longer than they thought. Well some anyway. The liberals still don't get what's going on.
Well, thankfully we have your insights to rely on.
ReplyDeleteThanks for weighing in 8:25. I'm sure you read some stuff on the internet. Now back to your basement and don't forget your tin foil hat.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the rural counties did not have many cases to begin with and the drop in new cases in urban areas is due to the winding down of idiot commie protests? Correlation is not causation and there are a lot of factors that need to be accounted for and controlled before any conclusions can be drawn. But that is science and science is hard.
ReplyDeleteTOP PHOTO -- THE EMPRESS WEARS NO CLOTHES
ReplyDeleteWhen Adriana declared a "clothing optional" policy, the men weren't complaining, but exhibited an obvious "sticking point" in her presence!!!
8:37 What a joy your life is not reading and understanding reality. In areas where mask wearing is mandated the virus is receding, in places where morons refuse to wear masks their grandparents and a whole bunch of others are dying, Unable to add 2+2 you gave up on that science stuff.

GARBAGE IN...................GARBAGE OUT
I find it hilarious! MU got their tail in a crack financially after carrot top Glick shot her mouth off and they had fake reports of racist vandalism and now the Chinese flu has bitten them square in the ass.Tried to give them sympathy but just ended up laughing uncontrollably. Serves em right.
ReplyDelete^^^crickets...crickets...crickets....
ReplyDeleteCommunist tenured professors and administrators ruined Mizzou five years ago with their fake racist conspiracy.
ReplyDeleteMU's enrollment dropped 25% due to the negative publicity. Professors are so stupid they didn't realize they were ruining their own livelihood.
Typical Democrats; destroy what is good.
I went to MU and majored in Journalism, with a minor in Security Theater. While there, we learned how to capitalize on insignificant events to generate fear and profit for the media. A contract professor got wrecked in the media because of her blatant racism and the schools tenured professors continue to espouse their communist propaganda, earning the school's nickname Moscow MU and Commie Columbia. My Journalism degree got me a sweet gig as a Geek Squad member at Best Buy, where it will take me about 23 years to pay off my student loans. In the meantime, with zero entrance requirements, my degree is worth almost as much as the price of admission at the cheapest community college in the Midwest. Nice job, MU. Way to invest in your school and retain the high value associated with your graduates' brand.
ReplyDelete10:18 must be an MU or KU grad. Let the grownups control for other variables.
