Social justice center restructuring plans paused, no longer targeted for July implementation

COLUMBIA - Maurice Gipson, MU vice chancellor for inclusion, diversity and equity, announced he was pausing plans to restructure MU’s social justice centers — plans that caused outrage among some students and faculty members.
Gipson told the MU Faculty Council on Thursday the plans to reimagine the centers and positions are paused, meaning they are no longer looking to begin implementation July 1. Gipson said the pause will allow him to “learn and get more feedback” from stakeholders.
On April 28, MU spokesperson Christian Basi said plans to restructure the five social justice centers, which provide resources and mentoring to underrepresented students, were scheduled to start July 1. However, initial steps, such as posting new positions, were put on hold until Gipson met with full Faculty Council on Thursday, the Missourian has reported.
