The University of Missouri, which provides data that is utilized in the fiscal analysis of bills proposed by the General Assembly, has recently come under fire for accepting funds from right-wing donors like Arnold and local billionaire Rex Sinquefield. Arnold’s grant has paid for UM’s anti-pension research, including a major paper claiming that pensions do educators a disservice.
