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.

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

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

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.

With his biases, he should not be using his position to meddle in gov on his own behalf. He's looking after no one but himself.

I totally disagree, he needs nothing and was only working to help the majority. The waste uncovered is excessive, no one can argue that.

He's an absolute nutcase. And an immigrant from South Africa, who grew up under apartheid, with no security clearance, has any business ransacking our government, accessing private data or having any influence of government departments investigating his businesses.

While I understand he had limited time, I feel more time would have benefited the country. That being said, I am grateful for the time he gave and the job he did. I look forward to seeing the results in the near future.

I hope he trained the people he left behind. He did an amazing job in only 130 days.

He has uncovered so much waste and corruption in the US Government. I only wish congress acted on what he found!

He was showing the truth about government waste. Only those who benefit from all the corruption are happy to see him go. What I'm sorry about is that he's become the hate toy and target of the opposition. He deserves better.

Why should people in Central and eastern Missouri be required to finance something for Kansas City. Totally insane.

Just more political corruption. They know they can do it and get away with it. They did it with Busch stadium and the additional ballpark village.
