Mizzou has a university high school and they’re hoping that will solve their enrollment problem.

High school could boost University of Missouri enrollment
The University of Missouri-Columbia, which is faced with a likely decline in enrollment this fall, could get some help from the recently expanded University of Missouri High School.
University administrators expect to see about 2,600 fewer students on campus in the 2016-17 school year, including 1,500 fewer freshmen.
The hope, however, is that students taking courses through the university’s high school program will eventually enroll at the University of Missouri-Columbia.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports university administrators are cautiously optimistic that its high school, which has 6,000 students and has been quietly branching out to foreign countries over several years, will continue to fulfill its academic purpose while also creating a path for increased enrollment at the university.

So now Missouri taxpayers can have a BlackLivesMatter/social justice warrior fast track that leads to a Bachelor Degree in Social Justice. Maybe the minor could be transgendered studies. More foot soldiers for the long Progressive march through our institutions.
Looks like corporate recruiters will soon be falling all over themselves to hire more Mizzou grads.

VENEZUELA’S ECONOMIC CRISIS WORSENS
The extent of the country’s economic collapse can be measured in the length of the lines snaking through every neighborhood. The average Venezuelan shopper spends 35 hours waiting to buy food each month…
“As the economy breaks down, life is telescoping to be just lines,” said Datanalisis president Luis Vicente Leon. “You have masses of people in the streets competing for scarce goods. You’re inevitably going to get conflict, fights, tricks, you name it.”
Venezuela’s vast oil wealth once fueled a bustling economy. But years of mismanagement under a socialist government ground much of the nation’s production to a halt, and the country grew ever more dependent on imports.
The supply chain broke down – first slowly, then all at once, as a steep drop in the price of oil left no money to pay for even some of the most basic necessities.
Shortages now top voters’ lists of concerns, surpassing even safety. That’s stunning in a country with one of the world’s highest homicide rates…..
On Fridays, bank lines grow long because ATM limits capped at $8 daily have not kept up with the world’s highest inflation, and the machines are not restocked on Saturdays or Sundays. Venezuelans now mostly avoid using cash, and even sidewalk orange juice peddlers have acquired credit card machines…..
