"Hours after a wave of student and faculty protests over racial tensions led to the resignation of the president of the University of Missouri system on Monday, the chancellor of the campus here also stepped aside," reports the New York Times.

Timothy Wolfe resigned Monday morning, as Boing Boing covered here. By the afternoon, he was followed by the chancellor of the Columbia campus, R. Bowen Loftin.

The University of Missouri student newspaper The Maneater has coverage here.
