A private email written by Tim Wolfe, former president of the University of Missouri, was made public last week. In the email, which was intended for some of his close supporters, Wolfe describes the events and circumstances that led to his resignation and seems unwilling to take any blame for what happened on campus. His email serves as a plea to those closest to him to negotiate with the Board of Curators for compensation from the university and his future role with the board.

After a series of walkouts, protests and boycotts and one student participating in a hunger strike in response to the university’s repeated inaction towards incidents of racism on campus, Wolfe stepped down from his position on Nov. 9. At the time he said, “I take full responsibility for this frustration and inaction.”
