The president of the University of Missouri has resigned amid accusations that there is endemic racism at the university that is not being addressed.
Tim Wolfe made the announcement as students and professors staged a walkout at the Columbia campus.
Some members of the university's football team have threatened not to play at a game on Saturday over the racial issues.
Black student groups say racial slurs are commonly used around campus.
"The frustration and anger that I see is clear and real and I don't doubt it for a second," said Mr Wolfe.
"I take full responsibility for the frustration and inaction on this campus."
