Agency in the role of #Concerned Student 1950

Recently at the university of Missouri black students have managed to convince their community of the need for a new president. Their now former president Tim Wolfe managed to remain silent and in some cases in opposition to their efforts to bring attention and find reform for the racist threats and practices on campus. Not so recently however has been the beginning of the students wait for these things to be addressed with any lasting results. In early November Tim Wolfe finally resigned from the position of president at Missouri. Yet we have good reason to believe that it was not because he saw the light shine on the error of his ways but the fact that someone at Missouri (Probably Wolfe) would have to pay the football team they were soon to play, 1 million dollars if their football team continued to refuse to play while he was in office. Agency played a role in how these students where able to get things done by wielding the power of capital. It is not a new strategy and I am not entirely convinced the student organizers at Missouri were unaware of the fine that would have to be paid if their football team refused to play, I do know that by working their way into more difficult territory they made it just as difficult to be ignored. If no one is messing with the money, they could have protested all day because they wouldn't be a threat.
