Updated at 1:45 p.m. to include details from a staff meeting about the reorganization.
Coordinators at MUâs Department of Social Justice centers were told last week their positions would no longer exist as of July 1, part of what an administrator called a ârestructuringâ and âreimaginingâ of the department.
The overhaul will see the department move away from individually functioning centers focused on providing specific resources to students to a âcollectiveâ and âcommunityâ focus. MU will conduct open searches to fill new positions in place of the currently existing coordinator roles. The physical resource center spaces will remain on campus.

Local Columbia business Tiger Towing has responded to many calls this winter, including over the past week.
