ST. LOUIS (AP) — The University of Missouri said Wednesday it'll now allow students to change their names on their student ID, transcript and diploma.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch (http://bit.ly/2dkq5Gl ) reported that effective immediately, students can get a new ID with their preferred name. This comes two years after allowing students to change their first and middle names on class rosters and their student email. There's no timetable on when transcripts and diplomas will reflect name changes. Alumni will also have the opportunity to have their transcripts or diploma reprinted with an alternative name.

"We think it's long overdue and should have been done with those changes a few years ago, but we're so happy it's (happening)," said Jack Miller, University of Missouri junior and communications officer for the campus' Triangle Coalition, which forms part of the campus' LGBT organizations.

University spokesman Christian Basi said the change is something administrators have wanted for quite some time.

Students can change their names to anything they want, including a name that's typically associated with a different gender, as long as it's not derogatory. A name change is free, but there's a fee of $15 with replacing a student ID.

The Triangle Coalition argued that charging transgender students the fee is unfair.

"We will be talking to administrators about this. We think it makes more sense to charge the much smaller fee of a few dollars that incoming freshmen pay," said Miller.

According to Basi the change is necessary because of the technology used inside the cards. The campus ID cards are used to pay for meals in dining halls and to get into some campus buildings.

A University of Wisconsin-La Crosse student had a serious complaint for his campus’ official “Hate Response Team”: he was “very upset” by a Harry Potter mural in a college dorm.

The mural, in the Laux Residence Hall, depicts Neville Longbottom, a character from the Harry Potter films. The nerdy Neville was played by actor Matthew Lewis, who blossomed into a notable hunk post-puberty. The mural shows him as both a geeky boy and an attractive young man — transformed, according to the mural’s caption, by a stay at the Laux Residence Hall itself.

The depiction of this metamorphosis “represents our ideal society and everything I am trying to fight against,” wrote the offended student, whose name is redacted. “It represents white power. Man power. Cis power. Able power. Class power. ECT [sic] ect. I am angry that I know the people who put this mural up, and I am anger [sic] because I know the people who let this mural be put up. Like I said earlier, maybe I am being a little sensitive, but it is how I feel. This represents, to me, our society, and I do not want it up on this wall. Why do we need a BEFORE and AFTER?”

For what it's worth (which is nothing), new college entrants are now Gen Z. In the next 2-3 years, it'll mostly be Gen Z occupying colleges. Millenials are now entering their late 20s and early 30s.

I think every generation goes through this phase, but most get out of it by 10th or 11th grade in high school once they become aware of the real world. The Millenials, on the other hand, have been deferring on the real world for almost a decade now. Many still live with their parents and are milking their parents' health insurance eligibility right up until the age 26 limit. Their helicopter parents are complicit in this.

The protest began with a number: 715 victims of police violence in 2016.

The movement intensified with a building: Winthrop University’s Tillman Hall.

Around 70 students and faculty participated in a lively, exuberant and peaceful march on campus Wednesday to raise support for renaming the school’s administration building, which protesters say represents a man who espoused racist ideals.

Tillman, who was South Carolina’s governor in the early 1890s and a U.S. senator until his death in 1918, was instrumental in both founding Clemson University and establishing Winthrop College as a teaching school for women. But he was also famous for his violent rhetoric against the state’s black population as a supporter of lynch mobs.

“It’s a symbol of hatred, prejudice and white supremacy,” said Samantha Valdez, a graduate student with the Student Socialists Union. “For us to keep up our diversity on campus, we need to change these elements on campus.”

And they raised the kids that parented the millenials. It's cyclical.

There aren't two generations between boomers and millenials. The median point of boomers is mid 1950s and the median of millenials was 1990.

Do some reading on Generation Jones. These were the late boomers who ran into many of the same economic challenges in the late 70s, early 80s that the millenials did in the late 200X's. And they are the parents of them for the most part.
