University of Missouri officials resign

University of Missouri Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin said on Monday that he would be resigning  over a controversy about race. African-American students at Missouri have complained of inaction on the part of school leaders in dealing with racism on the overwhelmingly white Columbia campus. Black student leaders have conveyed their displeasure over students openly using racial slurs and other incidents, and many clubs and sports teams have gone on strike as a result.
