Illinois isn't the only college shuffling its ruling class on Monday.
Missouri president Tim Wolfe, facing criticism for his handling of racial slurs and the marginalization of people of color found on campus, refused to give-in on Friday to protest group Concerned Student 1950's, the student body government's and the striking football team's demands that he resign or be fired.
After a weekend of reflection (and protests), Wolfe is resigning effective immediately.
Wolfe: I'm resigning. "I love MU. Columbia, where I grew up. The state of Missouri."

Wolfe: "The frustration and anger that I see is clear, real, and I don't doubt it for a second."

Wolfe: "I take full responsibility for this frustration and I take full responsibility for the inaction that has occurred."

As of now, it remains to be seen if this means Saturday's Missouri–BYU tilt at Arrowhead Stadium is back on the table.
