Student protesters at the University of Missouri are removing an encampment in the center of campus that they’ve called home for more than a week.

Group members and their supporters began breaking down tents, folding up blankets and removing their belongings.

They began breaking camp Tuesday evening as forecasters predicted possible severe weather for Wednesday. Participants weren’t sure whether the tents would return after the severe weather passes.  Students have been protesting the schools’ handling of racial issues on campus.

The controversy of the last several weeks is not over. The University says it is investigating threats made on social media and has increased security on campus. A post Tuesday night on the college’s website says campus police are “aware of social media threats” and are investigating. The post doesn’t indicate the nature of the threats.

Campus police Captain Brian Weimer tells The Associated Press additional officers are on campus. A university spokesman couldn’t immediately be reached for further comment.

The University of Missouri system’s governing board planned to meet Wednesday afternoon. The Board of Curators’ meeting comes two days after system President Tim Wolfe and Columbia campus Chancellor R. Bowen resigned after protests of their response to complaints about racial strife on campus.

A news release says the curators are scheduled to meet at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday and go into executive session at 4:35 p.m. The release doesn’t say what the board will be talking about.

Wolfe’s resignation is effective immediately. Loftin will resign Jan. 1 and take a new position promoting research efforts at the university.
