Almost four months after University of Missouri professor Melissa Click became an international spectacle by calling for some “muscle†to have a student journalist removed from where he had every right to be, she was fired today by the university’s curators.
But not necessarily for the way she tried to infringe on the student’s First Amendment right to record, but for another video that surfaced recently showing her cursing at a police officer during an earlier protest.

“Ding dong, the witch is dead!...”
wow- a libtard professor got what she deserved? wow...
I am going to call it the Trump effect.
Political Correctness is finally being questioned
This is what America will look like under Hillary Clinton’s rule.
WHAT??? How? She is the epitome of a good progressive. Not to worry. Click will be hired by the US government.
She can always go back to her career as a Carrot Top impersonator.
Some other journalism school will give her tenure before she has time to pack her car.
She's a Fonda copycat
What - the sanctity of tenure doesn’t extend to scuffling, physical assault and threatening people who disagree with you - who knew?......
Yes!!
Statement from University of Missouri leadership
Pam Henrickson, chair of the University of Missouri Board of Curators, released the following statement today:
Last week, the Board of Curators received the investigative report detailing the relevant facts surrounding recent conduct by MU assistant professor, Dr. Melissa Click. On January 27, the board authorized an investigation so it could determine whether additional discipline for Dr. Click was appropriate.
Investigators reviewed relevant documents, materials and video recordings, as well as interviewed more than 20 witnesses. Dr. Click was interviewed twice and was represented by counsel on both occasions. When Dr. Click identified witnesses that she thought were relevant, the investigators interviewed - or attempted to interview - each of those witnesses and included their information in the report.
On February 12, Dr. Click was provided a complete copy of the report of the investigation, which included all documents, videos and witness statements gathered during the investigation and was offered the opportunity to submit a written response. Her response was received on February 19, after which the board received the report from investigators, including Dr. Click’s response.
After reviewing the report and Dr. Click’s response, and, after extensive discussion, the board voted last night in executive session to terminate the employment of Dr. Click. She has the right to appeal her termination. The board went to significant lengths to ensure fairness and due process for Dr. Click.
The board believes that Dr. Click’s conduct was not compatible with university policies and did not meet expectations for a university faculty member. The circumstances surrounding Dr. Click’s behavior, both at a protest in October when she tried to interfere with police officers who were carrying out their duties, and at a rally in November, when she interfered with members of the media and students who were exercising their rights in a public space and called for intimidation against one of our students, we believe demands serious action.
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. 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.
Together as a university community, we must move forward from the events of the fall. The board will continue to engage in productive and meaningful conversations with student and campus leaders to facilitate communication, transparency and to address issues brought to the forefront.
Statement from University of Missouri-Columbia Interim Chancellor Hank Foley:
The process the Board of Curators used to reach a determination about Dr. Click’s employment at the university is not typical—but these have been extraordinary times in our university’s history, and I am in complete agreement with the board that the termination of Dr. Click is in the best interest of our university. Her actions in October and November are those that directly violate the core values of our university. I can assure you—as Board Chairwoman Henrickson noted—that there has been fairness in this process and investigation.
Finally, I personally would like to reiterate my commitment to ensuring a university community where we ALL feel valued and heard. Work is already underway—with much more to come. In the meantime, I, too, look forward to meaningful conversations ahead.

Good riddance to the liberal hag.
Good.
But how many more REMAIN in Academia?
Looks like the muscle of the university ws used against her...
WHAT??? How? She is the epitome of a good progressive. Not to worry. Click will be hired by the US government.
Obama will hire her as schools czar...
GRIN...now I can change my tag line!
Not too sure about that less than a year stuff.
if she makes it through the probationary period, she will on the payroll for the next 20 or so years. And harder to fire than a tenured professor.
Good, I will post this on my Facebook later.
She got fired ONLY because she is a short, ugly, bitter, white lady.
If she was a “person of ANY color” the college woul dhave backed her 100%. I am sure of it.
