Mizzou faculty and students say what they want from their new president

Faculty and students at Mizzou said they don’t know much about their new system president. They did say they want him to have good communication with not only the chancellors of the campuses, but also with faculty and students.

Dr. Mun Choi was hired as the system president of the University of Columbia on October 31. Before he joined the Tigers, he was provost at the University of Connecticut for two years. Choi obtained his mechanical and aerospace engineering degrees from Princeton University.

Berkley Hudson, faculty council chair of the racial relations committee, said a system president typically doesn’t deal with students often, but this one should.

“In our situation and because of what happened with the chancellor resigning and the president resigning last year, it is incumbent upon the new president to get out and connect with students.

Students on the Mizzou campus said they felt the same way.
