The president of the
University of Missouri system resigned Monday with the football team and
others on campus in open revolt over his handling of racial tensions at
the school.
President Tim Wolfe said his
resignation was effective immediately. He made the announcement at the
start of what had been expected to be a lengthy closed-door meeting of
the school's governing board.
The complaints
came to a head a day earlier, when at least 30 black football players
announced that they would not play until the president was gone. One
student went on a weeklong hunger strike.
