The students who drove him out have been complaining that Wolfe did not respond forcibly enough in the wake of certain racist incidents on campus.

Ricochet reports.

The Theater of White Guilt

The President of the University of Missouri resigned in a dramatic, televised speech this morning. He must have done something really bad, right? If you’re like many people out there, you may be reading the news articles trying to figure out exactly what the bad thing was.

We are told there is a racial controversy at the university. Did the president get caught using the “N” word? Did he fire someone due to her skin color? Was he outed as a grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan?

Answer: None of the above. Mizzou’s ousted president, Tim Wolfe, seems to have been forced out of his half-million dollar per year job — not for what he did, but rather for what he didn’t do.

The students who drove him out have been complaining that Wolfe did not respond forcibly enough in the wake of certain racist incidents on campus. The most scandalous of these several incidents involves the student body president, who is black. He says that several months ago someone drove by and insulted him with a racial slur. I also read that someone made a swastika out of feces in a campus bathroom. Black students who organized protests in recent days say they feel “marginalized” on campus.
