MU professor apologizes for bullying student journalist (Melissa Click sobbing behind office door)
St. Louis Post-Dispatch ^ | November 10, 2015 | Stephen Deere, Alex Stuckey

Melissa Click shut herself in her university office on Tuesday afternoon and could be heard sobbing through the door.

A day earlier, the communications professor at the University of Missouri had helped lead a multitude of activists form a circle hundreds of yards long to block reporters from a tent encampment on Mizzou's Carnahan Quadrangle, following the resignation of University of Missouri President Timothy M. Wolfe.

A video that went viral Monday evening showed Click calling out for "muscle" to help remove a student journalist from the area.

Click emerged from her office around 5 p.m. Tuesday and released a statement apologizing for her actions. She said she had contacted the journalists involved to also apologize, and regretted that she had shifted attention from the "students' campaign for justice."

"From this experience I have learned about humanity and humility," Click said.

These women are hysterical in the classical sense. They make manifest why the female sex wasn’t thought up to the burden of participating in the body politic.

Not so sure ...

http://www.columbiamissourian.com/news/higher_education/update-mu-journalism-faculty-voting-to-reconsider-click-s-courtesy/article_6e2cedaa-87c7-11e5-ae63-87e5cacea580.html#comments

An email vote was being conducted among doctoral faculty and members of the Journalism School’s Promotion and Tenure Committee on Tuesday morning. A simple majority from the groups is needed to revoke a courtesy appointment, Thorson said.

“It’s close,” Thorson said of the vote. “But we have some strong voices concerned about fairness (to Click).”

Silly girl. You worried you’ll be held accountable? Not to worry. You may not be black, but at least you’re a woman and a lesbian. 2 out of 3 counts for something. You’ll be held up as an example of learning from your “humaness”...an example of humility.

Kinda funny how the leader of the student horde yesterday suddenly encountered the horde of public opinion today (and probably the wrath of whatever school administrators remain). Karma and all that...

Very communist of you Melissa Click.

When are you going to resign? Oh, that’s right. You believe that you should have a job for life.

Depends on what the trustees/board/governing committee ultimately say. If they're pissed off enough, then she's toast if she does not have tenure.

In the meantime, if I had a kid at that school, I'd be on the way there right now to bring him or her home, and if my kid had been in that video or part of the "protest/mob," then he or she would be hitting the road and paying their own way from that point forth.

Period.

If this sorry excuse for a woman ever has even an ounce of real power she will be the first one sending people out to be shot and dumped in a ditch for disagreeing with her.
