As if it were left behind by a defunct college that lost its accreditation, the shoddy sign in front our state’s flagship institution reads: “U IVE TY f M S O.”
The University of Missouri folks can’t even fix a symbol of their problems, let alone their problems.
That sign in Columbia, on the corner of Elm and Providence, is an embarrassment. Oh, and the other side is missing some letters, too.
And so, these unfixed signs just fester in front of the campus, welcoming all to the modern Mizzou: A university marred by image and admission issues, anchored by an athletic program seemingly stuck in flux.
