Reorganization

The university proposed in spring 2012 to close the press and terminate its ten employees in order to end the university's subsidy to the press, estimated by the university administration as $400,000 per year and by outside critics of the closure decision as under $250,000 a year. The decision was reversed in August 2012 after public outcry. As part of the reorganization the press now reports up to the main Columbia campus rather than the University of Missouri System. A new director was hired in 2013.
