By Jordan Sargent for Gawker - Ten days ago, Tim Wolfe—the ex-University of Missouri System president who famously stepped down from his position last November after a black student’s hunger strike made the state’s flagship campus in Columbia the focus of a national discussion regarding the treatment of minority college students—sent an email to confidants that he labeled “CONFIDENTIAL.” In the message, which was first reported by local papers in Missouri and stretches five pages, Wolfe presents a bullet point list of people who he believes made it impossible for him to keep his job
