Mun Choi

Mizzou faculty shared concerns about President Mun Choi's approach to homelessness in downtown Columbia — and pressed him to advocate for gun control laws in Missouri.

After the shooting death of Stephens College student Aiyanna Williams in downtown Columbia, University of Missouri System president Mun Choi demanded the "cleanup of homeless encampments." However, the suspect has no connection to the unhoused community.

Columbia, Missouri, leaders are shared their plans for increasing safety downtown following the shooting of a Stephens College student Saturday.

After a weekend shooting killed a Stephens College student, University of Missouri President Mun Choi sent a letter to state and county leaders criticizing policies that he says "attract criminals to the region." However, Choi could not cite any specifics, and police numbers contradict his claims.

University of Missouri System President Mun Choi sent a letter to university employees that disruptive speech may be grounds for discipline or termination. It comes as institutions and businesses fire workers who share their thoughts about the killing of Charlie Kirk.

A federal judge ruled Friday that University of Missouri System President Mun Choi violated students' freedom of speech when he barred the group Mizzou Students for Justice in Palestine from taking part in the Homecoming parade. The judge ruled Choi excluded the group because of its views on Israel and Palestine.

The email from University of Missouri System President Mun Choi says that “speech that causes significant disruption can be a basis for discipline or termination, even when it occurs off-duty." It comes as more colleges take action to control faculty discourse over Charlie Kirk's death.

University of Missouri recently updated its parade policy to exclude political groups and organizations that don't adhere to the theme. Students for Justice in Palestine has sued university system president Mun Choi, arguing the exclusion violated their free speech rights.

A federal lawsuit argues the University of Missouri violated the First Amendment rights of Mizzou Students for Justice in Palestine when it denied their applications for Homecoming parade. The school wouldn't allow "stop the genocide" banners and Palestinian flags, but did permit "Make America Great Again" and Israeli flags.

The Missouri Students for Justice in Palestine has employed the legal help of a national Muslim civil rights group to file a free speech suit against Mun Choi.

The University of Missouri canceled the Legion of Black Collegians' annual 'Black 2 Class Block Party,' which was set to happen Friday. The organization called the decision "a deliberate act of erasure."

University of Missouri System President Mun Choi signed an executive order last month outlining a process for faculty if they encounter ICE presence on campus. But an immigration attorney says it leaves "a lot of potential for exploitation of a lack of knowledge."
