MU Board of Curators Discuss Economic Crisis COLUMBIA, MO (KBIA) - The University Of Missouri Board Of Curators met this afternoon to discuss the recent national economic crisis and the potential effects on the university.

Following the bailout of several major financial institutions last week, UM System President Gary Forsee says the events did not have a major economic impact on the university.

This is something we'll be vigilant on in the short-term as well as understanding what potential long-term actions as a result of the government's actions last week.

The board decided last Wednesday to meet and discuss the economy.The meeting also covered the university's investment situation and discussed potential implications the economic crisis may have on the Missouri Higher Education Loan Authority, or MOHELA.
