Students have forced the resignation of University of Missouri President Tim Wolfe. Unhappy with Wolfe's response during racial incidents at the university, some students have been on a hunger strike, while the football team announced plans to boycott upcoming games.

Wolfe published a statement apologizing for his response and another describing actions the university will take, but they weren't enough.  

A final statement announces Wolfe's resignation, which he also describes in a news conference.

Discussion Starters:

• Assess Wolfe's three statements. Could he have said anything else to quell the controversy, or was it hopeless?
• Assess Wolfe's news conference. What improvements would you suggest for future presentations?
• Wolfe's resignation misuses "affect." Do you see the mistake?
