Two years, no progress: Revisiting the University Village collapse

On-campus child care and affordable university-sponsored housing options have long been demanded by graduate students. The conversation gained momentum when, two years ago, a walkway at the University Village student housing complex collapsed, killing Columbia firefighter Lt. Bruce Britt. On the anniversary of his death, we look at what progress has been made.

Slate drops out of Residence Halls Association presidential election

A little over a week after the slates for the upcoming RHA election were announced, one of the two slates dropped out. Voting is set to start March 2, but the RHA justices don’t want Matt Bourke and Martha Pangborn to win by default. So now voters will be able to select either the Bourke/Pangborn slate or no confidence. How do you like them odds?

Office of Civil Rights and Title IX investigates vulgar email

One MU sophomore has apologized after a rather graphic email he sent about the women of Pi Beta Phi was leaked on social media. Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Cathy Scroggs called it disgusting, and Panhellenic Association executive board said it challenged the role of women in the Greek community.

Let's dig a little deeper

The University Village walkway collapsed two years ago today. Since then, graduate students have called for on- campus child care and more university-sponsored housing. Now, they are trying to unionize, but UM System officials are delaying the effort. The Maneater looked into progress made in the last two years and found little. University officials have recently talked about finding a private contractor to build another complex at the site of University Village.

However, Matt McCune, Graduate Professional Council director of communications, is skeptical of the new complex.

“Until it starts to be built, it’s not likely,” McCune said. “People can talk about it all they want. They can have all the meetings in the world. It doesn’t change a thing until construction begins. Or until the university dedicates the funding."

MU honors National Eating Disorders Awareness Week with educational activities

The Counseling Center is hosting a ton of events for this important week. A quarter of college-aged women binge or purge to maintain their weight, so several centers and organizations on campus are banding together for some self-love and education.

Senator Claire McCaskill announces she has breast cancer Senator Claire McCaskill took to Tumblr to announce her diagnosis. She said her prognosis is good, and she will be receiving treatment in St. Louis and will work from there.

Human rights activist Romeu Monteiro speaks on how he came to love Israel

Monterio spoke about his experiences growing up in Portugal, how he relates to Anne Frank and his changed opinion on Israel. He originally had a negative view due to news coverage but after learning more about the issues, he “realized Israel is a democratic, tolerant, multi-ethnic, multi-religious, rapidly- developing nation.” Let's dig a little deeper. Some of the events for Eating Disorder Awareness Week are Stitch ‘N Bitch’s “EDAW Edition” meeting and a viewing of the Fattitude film. Active Minds Mizzou will also put on an event called Magic Mirror on the Wall where participants write body-positive phrases on mirrors. The Student Health Center will also host More Than Skin Deep, where participants play on an 8-foot tall Operation board, removing stereotypes of eating disorders. Celebrate #selflove because you’re #flawless!

UM System faces $8 million in proposed cuts

The UM System could lose some funding next year if the budget proposed yesterday by Budget Chairman Rep. Tom Flanigan, R-Carthage, goes through. His proposal would cut $402,059 from MU, which is the exact amount of the combined salaries of assistant communications professor Melissa Click, communications department Chairman Mitchell McKinney and College of Arts and Science Dean Michael O’Brien.

RHA to allow another slate to enter the presidential election

Want to be the next Residence Halls Association president? You still have a chance! RHA decided to allow another slate to enter the election in a special Congress meeting Monday night. The Roberts/Aiken slate had previously withdrawn from the race, leaving only the Bourke/Pangborn slate in the running. New candidates will have until 6:30 p.m. Feb. 26 to collect 50 signatures and be approved as an official slate, and voting will be open from March 2–4.

Proposed bill could diversify Board of Curators by profession

All six members of the UM System Board of Curators are currently lawyers, but that could change if House Bill 2179 passes. The bill, which is currently going through the Select Committee on Education, states that no more than two curators with the same profession could be on the board at the same time. Rep. Dean Dohrman, R-La Monte, one of the sponsors of the bill, said he has nothing against lawyers, but he hopes people with different backgrounds will help the board think outside the box.

Let's dig a little deeper.

The proposal would also cut $7.6 million from the UM System, specifically targeting administrative salaries. State Rep. Flanigan said the cuts are supposed to target university administration without harming students, comparing the UM System to “a vast bureaucracy that rivals the Pentagon in terms of red tape and delays.” Interim UM System President Mike Middleton responded to the proposed budget cuts in a statement, saying the Board of Curators would keep demonstrating the value of the system administration to taxpayers.

Today's Weather

Spring last week was just a tease. Columbia will be throwin’ some shade today with the weather being cloudy and in the 30s.

Have You Heard?

Concerned Student 1950 reissues list of six remaining demands to be met Most of Concerned Student 1950’s demands made in October have yet to be met. Yesterday, the group released a Prezi presentation explaining the remaining demands more in-depth with their expected deadlines.

Flaws in MSA highlighted by 2015 election No, the student government drama has not stopped. Last week, resigned Missouri Students Association President-elect Haden Gomez sent out a timeline accusing interim MSA President Payton Head of favoring the Syed Ejaz/Heather Parrie slate. Both Head and Ejaz admitted that Head told Ejaz to run. Gomez argued that Head broke the senior officer neutrality clause of the MSA Constitution, which would be grounds for impeachment. Curators finalize presidential search committee The UM System Board of Curators decided on the members of the search committee for the next UM System president, which will include all six curators, two faculty members, two students and one staff member. If any more curators are appointed to fill the three vacancies, they would join the committee immediately.

Let's dig a little deeper. Students are #StillConcerned after only six of Concerned Student 1950’s demands from last semester have been met. The more detailed demands released yesterday called for:

- An academic bankruptcy program - A panel to interview applicants for the Office of Minority Students, which isn’t currently listed under MU’s Diversity Offices - Racial awareness and inclusion workshops during Summer and Fall welcome, which they said should be overseen by a board - An increase in black faculty to 10 percent - 10-year plan, which would increase the retention rates among “marginalized students” and require a diversity course - An increase in MU Counseling Center funding and resources - An increase in funding, resources and personnel for MU’s social justice centers

Today's Weather

Columbia is looking to provide MU with another warm weekend! Friday will have a high of 50 degrees, followed by a high of 64 degrees on both Saturday and Sunday. Hold on Tigers; spring is almost here!

Have You Heard? Melissa Click fired by Board of Curators Following assistant communications professor Melissa Click’s Jan. 27 suspension, the Board of Curators has decided to fire her with a 4-2 vote. Interim Chancellor Hank Foley said that her actions were not fitting of the university’s values.

Foley responds to faculty complaints about Melissa Click’s firing After the Board of Curators announced the firing of Melissa Click, interim Chancellor Hank Foley spoke for 40 minutes at the faculty council meeting to answer questions and address concerns. Many faculty members found the board’s decision unreasonable and later questioned their safety as employees of the university. ‘Racism Lives Here’ rally promotes multicultural unity Students from various marginalized communities on campus gathered Thursday at Lowry Mall to speak on issues involving unity. Students announced they won’t stop being vocal until their voices are heard and MU becomes more inclusive.

Let's dig a little deeper.

In a closed meeting Wednesday, the curators voted 4-2 on assistant communications professor Melissa Click’s removal from the university with no pay or severance. Click will have the opportunity to appeal this decision if she feels the need to do so. The Board of Curators, along with interim Chancellor Hank Foley and interim UM System President Mike Middleton believe that her actions on campus did not live up to the expectations of students and faculty of MU, and that as a role model, she should not have put herself in that position.

“Dr. Click’s behavior was inappropriate and unacceptable,” Middleton said.

According to Foley, Concerned Student 1950 had nothing to do with the board’s decision.
