Over the weekend, protests broke out at Missouri following a string of racially charged incidents on campus. A student group called “Concerned Student 1950″ called for school president Tim Wolfe to resign due to ineffective leadership in combating the issues, and today he stepped down after an emergency meeting by the school’s Board of Curators.
