Mizzou still hasn’t fired prof. who tried to silence reporter

What do you have to do to get fired from a liberal university? What about being a communications teacher who wants to use force to remove a student journalist from a public protest?

According to USA Today, University of Missouri assistant professor of communication Melissa Click is still employed by Mizzou despite the fact that she asked students for some “muscle” to push out student journalist documenting a protest on public property.

On Tuesday, more than 100 Missouri Republican elected officials called on the university to fire Click for her abhorrent behavior.

“(Click) failed to meet the obligations she has to her supervisors, fellow professors, University students, and the taxpayers of Missouri,” the lawmakers said in a letter to the University of Missouri System and its flagship campus in Columbia.

“The fact that, as a professor teaching in the communication department and school of journalism, she displayed such a complete disregard for the First Amendment rights of reporters should be enough to question her competency and aptitude for her job,” the letter continued. “It should be evident that these actions are inappropriate, illegal and unacceptable for a faculty member of the University of Missouri.”
