COLUMBIA-- MU faculty member Melissa Click and MU staff member Janna Basler have apologized. And Tuesday night, Click resigned her courtesy appointment with the Missouri School of Journalism.

Click was caught up in an incident Monday between a freelance photographer and protesters near the Concerned Student 1950 camp on Mel Carnahan Quadrangle.

"Yesterday was an historic day at MU -- full of emotion and confusion. I have reviewed and reflected upon the video of me that is circulating, and have written this statement to offer both apology and context for my actions," Click, an assistant professor in the Department of Communication, said in a statement released Tuesday afternoon by the College of Arts and Science.

“apology and context” sounds like a “yeah, but...” apology.

She resigned her Courtesy Appointment, but I think she remains employed by the University in more official capacities, at least for now.

She needs to resign her non-courtesy position, too.

Now.

She can keep the apology.

She was probably offered a better paying position at an even more liberal university.

Mission accomplished.

She moved the ball for the progressives.

She can now disappear into their lore, never again to worry about getting a job or a paying speaking gig or a guest column at the NYT.

Life is good.

Yep. The old, “I’m sorry you were offended” meme.

Yup. Still collecting taxpayer dollars after assaulting a person. That’s what it’s called when you bring in “muscle” to physically intimidate someone on State property.

She gave up an honorific. Meaningless. She still gets a paycheck and is still an Associate Professor. She should have been thrown out on her ass.

She gave up her Courtesy Appointment but is still a paid employee of the university. She will now be given an Uncourtesy Appointment.

She still has her regular job with the department of communications. To my knowledge, the university has still not officially condemned her actions or launched an inquiry, much less asked for her resignation. And media attention is already shifting to on-line threats against the student protesters.
