Heyen has been under investigation after the college says the posts were brought to its attention in early May. Heyen was appointed Board of Trustees Chairman April 30. Many are calling the posts racist and Islamophobic.
"The post that you've made and the response that you made that you were just trying to create conversation is something that is appalling. What type of conversation are you trying to start? Are you trying to start a conversation whether Muslims are terrorists?" said Faizen Syed with the Missouri chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).
"There are Muslims that attend this school, that makes them feel uncomfortable, the posts of anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant would make anybody feel unsafe here," said community activist Umama Khenissi.
The Board of Trustees failed to pass a motion recommending Heyen step down.
The Missouri chapter of CAIR says it will begin a recall effort to have Heyen removed.
