Mizzou Shuts Down Three Dorm Halls due to Plunging Enrollment

Mizzou Shuts Down Three Dorm Halls due to Plunging Enrollment

Share this article

Mizzou, infamous for the Melissa Click scandal (where a professor muscled a student reporter and his cameraman during a protest), has seen its student enrollment plummet in its dorm halls to the point that three dorm halls are being taken offline for the time being.

A couple factors for this could be the bad PR from the Click scandal, the expensive contracts for dorm halls compared to off-campus student housing, and general sentiment toward college degrees and college debt and loans.

But, this still does not look good from an optics standpoint if you’re a Missouri taxpayer, a Mizzou administrator or employee.
