Chronicle of Higher Education cribs the resignation of Mizzou's president within the context of states appointing corporate leaders to universities.

Academics and educators hate when anti-intellectual pro-athletic boards appoint corporate executives to head up public institutions, and rightly so. As evidenced in the article - and in what happened overall in Columbia - the priorities of these appointees is not the students and academics, but bottom lines and, more importantly, athletics. It's only when athletes revolted that Mizzou's president was finally forced to resign.
