If MU loses $70 million in funding, the difference will have to come from somewhere? Often times that means people losing jobs, jobs becoming consolidated, and tuition costs rising for students. As an adjunct instructor at MU I already see that school is expensive and I am underpaid.

MU has plenty of DEI professors that they could let go.

Start revoking degrees of UM alumni starting with those who work in state government

Eric Smith

How about a comprehensive audit by an outside firm to see where every nickel is going.

Bill Douglas

It’s going to fund the athletic department and the sports programs. There needs to be a law banning taxpayer funded state employees from attending college and professional athletic events in the state. Make it a class a felony with a life in prison sentence. Also revoke their degrees and pensions

Could care less.

Bill Douglas

It’s “couldn’t care less”, dumm azz. You must be a UM Engineering school grad to be that stupid. Go back to your highway dept office cubical and figure out more ways to mess up real people’s lives with your “synchronized stoplights” and “federal regulations” on highway signs.

The Constitution vests the power in the legislative branch to ensure decisions on war are made democratically, rather than by a single person.

It would take congress years to make a decision, and the amount of pork required would be phenomenal. Congress is dysfunctional.

Most congressmen are millionaires, but our nation is nearly $40 Trillion in debt.

Congress can't even pass a budget to fund the government.

Just maybe, some of the students could learn how to read, write, and learn a little bit about math. Their texting skills are already, just fine.

The fact that legislators would use this for political gain and schools would use this as a financial game (teaching to the tests so they get an A rating, which gives them more money, wash-rinse-repeat). is a no from me. Didn't they learn something from the failure of the No Child Left Behind?
