"Enrollment at the University of Missouri's Columbia campus is down more than 2,200 students this year — including a drop of at least 1,400 freshmen — and the lower numbers appear to be the result of fallout from the Black Lives Matter movement, The Daily Caller says.

" 'It's not hard to find the cause of the school's woes," the Caller's Blake Neff writes, noting that last year, a black activist group called Concerned Student 1950 claimed the school was rife with racism and demanded MU president Thomas Wolfe's ouster.
. . . 
"[ 'The University of Missouri] rapidly became identified with a new, more vigorous brand of disruptive campus activism bolstered by the Black Lives Matter movement. Evidently, that reputation is causing thousands of students to stay far away.' "
