University of Missouri professor Melissa Stormont lays flowers on the steps of the Islamic Center of Central Missouri. | Lane Burdette/Photographer Local citizens hold solidarity march in Columbia in response to Trump's "Muslim ban" President Donald Trump signed an executive order Friday that limits the immigration from seven majority Muslim countries. The rally started in Peace Park to stand with local Muslims. A representative of the Islamic Center of Central Missouri led about 200 people from the park to the mosque at the corner of Fifth and Locust streets, where they were greeted with cookies, snacks and juice. The marchers left their signs and flowers on the front steps of the mosque and then returned to Peace Park. CPD faces allegations of illegally recording client-attorney calls The complaint was filed against the Columbia Police Department by attorney Stephen Wyse on Jan. 23. Wyse filed the complaint after he read about a drunk driving case in the Columbia Daily Tribune, in which cops violated attorney-client privilege by covertly observing and recording the conversation. Federal law makes it illegal to intentionally intercept, disclose or use any wire, oral or electronic communication through the use of a “device,” and law enforcement officers may only wiretap a conversation in which one of the parties involved in the conversation has consented to the recording.

Courtesy of Tim Pierce Flickr The Deal with Documentaries: 'Anita' delves into the controversial appointment of Justice Clarence Thomas “In the coming weeks, President Donald Trump is expected to name a Supreme Court justice nominee to replace the late Antonin Scalia. President Barack Obama nominated Merrick Garland, but the Senate refused to confirm him. Rarely are justices not confirmed, and even rarer is the nominee's character put into question, jeopardizing their appointment. But this instance was not the first in which a Supreme Court nomination process has not gone according to plan: In 1991, one woman stood up to a nominee in a messy hearing and became a topic of public scrutiny. The documentary Anita shares her story.” Read more here.

Donald Trump at a rally in St. Louis in March (Maneater file photo) Several university departments respond to Trump’s executive order on immigration In a statement Sunday night, interim chancellor Hank Foley expressed support for international students who might have been affected by President Donald Trump’s executive order banning immigration from seven majority-Muslim countries. “I am optimistic this will work out, but in the meantime, know you have our support and caring,” Foley wrote. Interim UM System President Mike Middleton and system President- designate Mun Choi also released a statement Sunday to express support for affected students. A statement from the Division of Inclusion, Diversity and Equity pointed out that MU’s nondiscrimination clause includes protection based on national origin, and the university does not “provide information on immigration status except when required by law.” MU Police Department officers also do not ask about immigration status, nor do they typically partner with other law enforcement agencies to enforce immigration law. Missouri football loses two recruits and gains two more in a 24-hour period Two three-star wide receiver recruits, Jafar Armstrong from Kansas City and Elijah Gardiner from Texas, decommitted from Mizzou in favor of bigger Midwestern powerhouses. Armstrong is now committed to Notre Dame, and Gardiner committed to Ohio State after visiting the school over the weekend. But the Tigers recovered (sort of) with commitments from two defensive tackles: two-star recruit Kobie Whiteside from Houston and three-star junior college player Walter Palmore, who received competing offers from Arizona State and Georgia. In other Missouri football news, former backup quarterback Marvin Zanders announced he’ll transfer to Virginia. How well do you know the week’s news at MU?

More sports news: The St. Louis Cardinals lost their top two remaining draft picks for the June MLB Draft on Monday as part of compensation for a 2014 hacking scandal. They’ll forfeit those picks to the Houston Astros, the team whose email system and scouting database a former Cardinals employee hacked before the crime was discovered and he was charged. Christopher Correa, the former employee who was sentenced to 46 months in prison, was also banned from MLB for life as part of the punishment.

The speeches at the SAG Awards on Sunday night had a common theme: politics Mahershala Ali, who won for “Moonlight,” said, “I think what I've learned from working on ‘Moonlight’ is we see what happens when you persecute people. They fold into themselves, and what I was so grateful about in having the opportunity to play Juan was playing a gentleman. I saw a young man folding into himself as a result of the persecution of his community, and taking that opportunity to uplift him and tell him that he mattered, that he was okay, and accept him. And I hope that we do a better job of that.” Other notable speeches include Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ for “Veep,” David Harbour’s for “Stranger Things” and Ryan Gosling’s reaction during Emma Stone’s rambling speech after winning awards for “La La Land.” Mocktails and a Masterpiece, 4-6 p.m. @ The Shack RSVP Educators Roundtable Discussion: Stalking and Social Media, 5-6 p.m. @ RSVP Center Free Swing Dance Lesson, 7-9:30 @ Mark Twain Ballroom, Memorial Union Compiled by Jared Kaufman, Katie Rosso and George Roberson This daily newsletter is a product of The Maneater and MOVE Magazine.

International Center hosted a meeting for students and faculty affected by President Donald Trump's travel ban About 80 students and scholars attended a meeting hosted by the International Center, where university officials explained the executive order signed by President Trump and answered any questions they had. Representatives from the Counseling Center, the Office of the Provost, the Office of Student Affairs and an immigration lawyer all attended. The meeting was closed to media to make attendees more comfortable. As of last semester, 138 total students hold citizenship across the seven countries affected by the travel ban, according to the Fall 2016 Enrollment Summary Report. Over a hundred community members protested in front of Sen. Roy Blunt's office The demonstration was organized by CoMo for Progress, a community group in Columbia. It lasted a little under an hour, and most attendees were voicing their dissent with the Trump administration. There were a few Trump supporters who joined the crowd to voice their discontent with the demonstrators. Blunt was not present at the event, but the crowd still caught people’s attention. Professors question the future of the ACA and healthcare under Trump administration The Affordable Care Act, sometimes referred to as Obamacare, was passed in 2010 under former President Barack Obama’s administration. An important aspect of President Trump’s campaign was the repeal of the ACA, which is a looming possibility. Associate law professor Sam Halabi worked with those who initially negotiated the ACA in Congress. He says the repeal process will be difficult, but it would be beneficial to the Trump administration and the Republican Party.

Eric Greitens withdrew two nominations from the UM Board of Curators, leaving five seats vacant As of the first meeting of the year, the Board of Curators will be down five members out of the usual total of nine members. Gov. Greitens has yet to make his own nominations to fill the open positions. With the withdrawal of the nominations of Jon Sundvold and Patrick Graham, an MU senior, the board loses its student representation.

    Our Home Away From Home: Putting a Stop to College Campus Violence – Artifacts Journal - University of Missouri University of Missouri A Journal of Undergraduate Writing Our Home Away From Home: Putting a Stop to College Campus Violence Lauren Reagan When prospective students first tour the University of Missouri-Columbia’s campus, they are thinking about academic programs, Tiger football, and the incredible recreational center. The last thing that crosses a student’s mind is being in danger, and tour guides are not likely to mention campus violence. When parents bring up safety issues, the emergency call system and campus police force assures them, and the problems Mizzou faces with assault, rape and robbery can be ignored. In accordance with the Clery Act, the University of Missouri must send students emails every time a violent act occurs on campus (Evaluation of Green Dot 777). For most MU students, this is the first they hear of campus danger. Many factors such as gender roles, alcohol use and societal norms lead to violence on Mizzou’s campus. These crimes cause not only physical, but also emotional and mental damage to victims, and students are beginning to protest. The Maneater published an editorial urging students to take a stand against violence, and former MSA president, Xavier Billingsely, sent a mass email in November 2012 urging the same. Current university prevention programs are simply not producing enough results. It is time for students, faculty and community members to change how violence is addressed. http://artifactsjournal.missouri.edu/2013/05/our-home-away-from-home-putting-a-stop-to-college-campus-violence/[9/15/2014 1:13:04 PM] Our Home Away From Home: Putting a Stop to College Campus Violence – Artifacts Journal - University of Missouri College campuses can be a breeding ground for violence, and a place society expects to be a learning community can become extremely dangerous.

    On the occasion of the Mizzou Alumni Association’s sesquicentennial, the association asked a researcher to dig up its history. The story is one of loyal alumni and citizens acting on behalf of Mizzou. (Perhaps what says it best is the legend of how alumni and locals saw to it that the Columns became Mizzou’s foremost campus icon.) MU alumni and citizens gather at the base of the Columns in the days after a fi re that destroyed Academic Hall in 1892. Keep your hands off these Columns he Mizzou Alumni Association was founded in 1853, but perhaps the best story that encapsulates its meaning to MU comes from a tenuous time in the University’s history. It’s the story of loyal alumni Tand citizens acting on behalf of Mizzou and how the Alumni Association saw to it that the Columns became Mizzou’s foremost campus icon. The inferno that consumed Academic Hall in 1892 somehow spared the six limestone Columns. To many alumni and Columbians at the time, they quickly became an enduring symbol of all they held dear about the University. But to others, including the University’s Board of Curators, the Columns looked out of scale with the new University buildings they hoped to construct around them. They resolved that the Columns would have to come down. Few people now know – perhaps because it weakens the legend – that the board originally intended to leave the Columns in place or reposition them on campus. But the board changed its mind, and some alumni and locals didn’t like it.

  • MSHSAA Brain Injury Report
    Missouri State High School Activities Association 2019-2020 2019-2020 Interscholastic Youth Sports Brain Injury Prevention Report SCS HCS HB 300, 334, and 387 became law in August 2011, and it mandates that an organization with public schools as members must publish and distribute an annual report regarding the impact of student athlete concussions and head injuries which should include efforts that may be made to minimize damages from school sports injuries. The Department of Health and Senior Services, along with a statewide association of school boards [Missouri School Board Association (MSBA)], a statewide activities association that provides oversight for athletic or activity eligibility for students and school districts, [Missouri State High School Activities Association (MSHSAA)], and an organization named by the Department of Health and Senior Services that specializes in support services, education and advocacy of those with brain injuries [Brain Injury Association of Missouri (BIA-MO)] developed guidelines, pertinent information and forms to educate coaches, staff members, athletes and parents or guardians of youth athletes of the nature and risk of concussion and brain injury including continuing to play after a concussion or a brain injury (1). MSHSAA has distributed and updated head injury materials annually since August of 2009 to its member schools using a variety of sources (2). These materials provide information that will educate parents, coaches, staff members, and athletes on the prevention, management, and dangers of head injuries in interscholastic sports (3). In December of 2011, MSHSAA conducted its first annual survey of member schools and the impact of head injuries. A tenth survey was conducted during the summer of 2020, to collect data from the MSHSAA member schools.

The high today will be 69 degrees, and the low will be 50. Be sure to pack your umbrellas for early thunderstorms and afternoon rain. Courtesy of Wikimedia Commons A new "Stand Your Ground" law was cited in a recent Columbia shooting Senate Bill 656, which went into effect Jan. 1, allows citizens to use deadly force whenever they feel reasonably threatened, without retreating first. This is commonly referred to as “Stand Your Ground.” Columbia resident Karl Henson was arrested last month for first-degree felony after shooting at a man who tried to steal his cellphone. “The only reason I thought it was okay to shoot at him while he was running away was because of what happened with the new year on the law change,” Henson said in the probable cause statement for the Jan. 23 incident. Column: It's brutal having someone sit in your unassigned assigned seat Columnist Kennedy Horton tackles the problem we’ve all experienced: someone stealing your unassigned assigned seat. “Determining one’s seat happens in the first two days of class. The rules of a classroom versus a lecture hell are a bit different, because after a certain row in a lecture, it doesn’t matter; it’s just all counted as “the back.” Nevertheless, there are still rules. After two days of class, you should be locked in and solidified. You’re essentially sworn into that seat until the end of time, or at least the semester.
