####Wolfe resigns
Now-former UM System President Tim Wolfe [announced his resignation](https://www.themaneater.com/stories/2015/11/9/wolfe-announces-resignation-um-system-president/) at 10 a.m. Monday, Nov. 9, during a UM System Board of Curators meeting. He took responsibility for the lack of administrative response to recent acts of racism and discrimination on campus. He also acknowledged the frustration of the groups, both African-American students and graduate students, whose demands have not been met. “My decision to resign comes out of love, not hate,” he said.

####Crowds on Carnahan
Carnahan Quad [erupted in a scene](https://www.themaneater.com/stories/2015/11/9/activists-celebrate-wolfes-resignation-concerned-s/) of frenzied jubilation after news swiftly spread that Wolfe had resigned. The Concerned Faculty and graduate students whom had set up tables in preparation for a “teach-in” protest in solidarity with the Concerned Student 1950 joined together in celebration. Concerned Student 1950 prayed together and sung spiritual hymns. The overwhelming media presence was condemned, as people linked arms around the campsite to block off the media’s view of the protesters.

####MSA elections postponed
MSA announced Monday afternoon that its 2015 presidential and vice presidential elections will be postponed due to recent campus events. Originally scheduled for Nov. 9-11, they will now be held Nov. 16-18. The postponement was announced at a press conference in Jesse Wrench Auditorium, which occurred at the same time as the Board of Curators meeting in which [Loftin announced his resignation](https://www.themaneater.com/stories/2015/11/9/loftin-announces-resignation-effective-jan-1/).
