Two Republican legislators call for U of M president to resign:

All of these problems stem from the University of Missouri system slipping behind over the last few years in everything from faculty productivity, to fiscal health of several of the colleges, to national rankings,” Cookson stated in a release. “Since April 8, the system has made national headlines for failing to protect the safety of female students on campus, the St. Louis campus purchasing a golf course weeks before announcing budget cuts, a failed attempt to build a third hospital in Columbia in the face of massive local opposition, a bungled handling of encouraging professors to run for state office, a now cancelled agreement with Planned Parenthood to facilitate abortions, the president of the System’s callous reaction to racial sensitivity issues which he has now apologized for, a highly embarrassing failed attempted firing of the Columbia campus chancellor, and now the events of this weekend.

This particular move by legislators seems more about settling scores than clear solidarity with players over their grievances.

When politicians weigh in on anything -- regardless of party affiliation -- I just chalk it up to opportunism.
