Report: University of Missouri System outlook optimistic
COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — A credit report suggests the University of Missouri System is on track to maintain its good credit rating despite declines in overall state funding and enrollment at its Columbia campus.

The system received an Aa1 rating in June, which is the second-highest rating an institution can receive, the Columbia Missourian reported .
