Morning Brief: November 10 2015

After months of student and faculty led protests over the handling of heated racial issues by administrators at the University of Missouri, the university system president and the chancellor of the flagship campus have stepped down. The catalyst, which dealt the final blow to president Timothy Wolfe, was the threat of a boycott by the school's football team. Wolfe accepted responsibility for inaction and called the university community to work towards change.
