University of Missouri President Steps Down Amid Race Controversy

Several University of Missouri organizations, including the football team and the student association, saw their demand met Monday when university system president Tim Wolfe announced he was stepping down amid a controversy over race relations at the school's main campus.

Saying he takes "full responsibility for the inaction that has occurred," he asked that the university community listen to each other's problems and "stop intimidating each other."

"This is not—I repeat, not—the way change should come about. Change comes from listening, learning, caring and conversation," he said. "Use my resignation to heal and start talking again."
