Mizzou Fires The Click
2016-02-25
The University of Missouri Board of Curators on Thursday fired a communications professor who was captured on video scrapping with a police officer and a student journalist during campus protests last year.

The board voted 4-2 in favor of firing Assistant Professor of Communication Melissa Click, who had been suspended with pay from the school since Jan. 27.

Click has the right to appeal the termination.

"The board respects Dr. Click's right to express her views and does not base this decision on her support for students engaged in protest or their views," said Chairwoman Pam Henrickson, who voted against Click's termination, in a statement viewed by The Columbia Tribune. "However, Dr. Click was not entitled to interfere with the rights of others, to confront members of law enforcement or to encourage potential physical intimidation against a student."

#6  I believe the person she was trying to chase of was an Asian guy, a reporter for the student paper.

And to be totally fair, "some muscle' could been in reference to some beefy lesb1ans.

#5  She didn't call them to come to her aid. She called them to beat up or otherwise intimidate people (gender and ethnicity not specified, could be white men, could be black women) she wanted intimidated.

#4  The part I find amusing (other than the whole rest of it, I mean) is that when the going got tough, this proud feminist icon called for "some muscle", presumably meaning some big strong men to come to her aid.

#1  She's a nasty piece of work, who was clearly trying to be "too cool for school" by indulging her fantasies of still being a student activist.

Grow up, honey, and join the adult world - think of this firing an "an intervention" to try to extract you from your delusional world. You aren't "Joan of Arc."
