Discussing MU's "Compete Missouri"
MUs top administrators have met with a large group of professors concerned about the university's Compete Missouri plan. Introduced last summer, the plan aims to raise seven million dollars largely by cutting costs and initiating a controversial hiring freeze. KBIA's Janet Saidi reports.

The Columbia Human Rights Commission hosted a public forum this week regarding the topic. KBIA's Sara Damian attended the meeting and has this report.
