COLUMBIA, MO – University of Missouri System President Tim Wolfe resigned Monday morning at a board of curators meeting amid calls for him to step down.
As of last week, Wolfe appeared unwilling to give in to demands that he resign heading into Monday’s meeting. The board of curators was supposed to get together and immediately go into closed session to discuss the issue. However, Wolfe asked to address the assembled media first and announced his intentions to leave office.
Wolfe said people who care about Mizzou should use his resignation as a chance to heal.
In a statement, Gov. Jay Nixon said he appreciated Wolfe’s decision to step down.
