Missouri E-mail Exposes DEI Demise Targeting Kansas City & STL

Sadly, there's a bright side to this note . . . 

Low-end Missouri Western college "recruiting" is doing students a favor by skipping KC public schools.

Meanwhile, here's a more concerned report . . .

On Nov. 8, 2022, then-recruitment manager Peggy Payne passed along an order for university recruiters to stop doing visits or fairs at 23 urban and inner-suburb schools listed under the headings “Kansas City, MO” and “St. Louis, MO.”

The seven Kansas City schools were all in Kansas City Public Schools or the Hickman Mills C-1 School District.

“If you have any of these schools scheduled they need to be canceled immediately,” the email read. “When scheduling for next semester, please remember these. … I was told there will be no discussion regarding this.”

The Missouri Western Board of Governors condemns the email, board Chair Lee Tieman said, but it views the incident as closed.

An email warned Missouri Western recruiters away from 23 schools in KC and St. Louis. Why?

Missouri Western said the directive was reversed in 2023, but questions remain about who ordered the email, what inspired it and what it means for students.
