        Mizzou enrollment drops.


        Undergraduate enrollment is down more than 2,100 students, or almost 8 percent, this semester compared to fall 2015, and almost three-quarters of that loss comes from the freshman class.

        One of the grandest benefits of the enlightenment was the realization that our moral sense must be based on the welfare of living individuals, not on their immortal souls. Honest and passionate folks can strongly disagree regarding spiritual matters, so it's imperative that we not allow such considerations to infringe on the real happiness of real people.

          Freshman enrollment is off by 25% compared to last year. It seems like some schools, particularly Ohio State and Chicago, are learning how to deal with this nonsense. Missouri showed everyone how not to deal with it, and it appears as if potential students' and their parents got the sense that the inmates were running the asylum.
          Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

                Comparing Cal to Missouri is stupid. Missouri is a state school with an okay reputation within its own geographic region. Getting a degree from there is interchangeable with a number of schools in the area and carries little weight outside of it.

                Cal is world-renowned university, literally one of the best in the world. I also doubt Cal would fire its chancellor because some degenerate finger painted a poop swastika on a bathroom wall. Maybe I'm giving them too much credit.

                    Ha, sounds like they're taking the Freshman Class to some Occupy Wall Street event.

                            I plead ignorance. Where would you get hired with that degree? Would it be an undergrad degree that leads to law school?

                            Would you be able to get student loans to fund your pursuing that degree?

                            Maybe it would be useful for going into law enforcement of social services. Any ideas?

                                That is what I meant by a prelude to a law degree. With all the new regulations on businesses, EPA and social justice laws and rules, lessening immigration requirements and punishment for drug offenses, law is going to be an even greater field to go into.
