Officials at the University of Missouri’s flagship campus in Columbia have finally rid themselves of the administrator and the professor who physically and verbally attacked student journalists during the eruption of Black Lives Matter protests that rocked the school’s campus in November 2015.
The firing of both taxpayer-funded employees — mass communication professor Melissa Click and senior associate director for Greek life Janna Basler — took 20 months.
Basler, the Greek life director, shoved up against a lone student photographer Tim Tai as he attempted to capture images for a local newspaper.
Scuttlebutt about Basler’s employment status began earlier this month when Mizzou officials announced approximately 400 layoffs in the face of massive state budget cuts and a huge plunge in student enrollment.

Basler’s name — Dr. Janna Basler — was quietly removed from a list of staff members in the student life section of the public school’s website during the reorganization.
Then, on Monday, school officials confirmed to local ABC affiliate KMIZ that Basler had, in fact, finally received walking papers.
Basler’s firing comes some 17 months after Mizzou’s board of curators voted 4-2 to dismiss Click, the taxpayer-funded professor, for threatening student journalist Mark Schierbecker with mob violence because he was attempting to cover on-campus protests.
YouTube video of Click famously shows her calling for “muscle” from an angry mob to help remove Schierbecker.
The protests by a group of radical student activists calling themselves Concerned Student 1950 centered largely on Jonathan Butler, the son of a millionaire railroad executive. Butler went on a hunger strike and convinced 32 black Mizzou football players to boycott all team activities.

It was all about student enrollment falling massively, and they are even having to close buildings. The University is a panic because they are losing money.
If Mizzou would have handled this correctly from the beginning, then they would not be in this mess. This is what happens when you pander to communists and play their games.
Did you ever notice how you can tell they’re a liberal just by looking at some people?
The University is finally taking action to save itself. It has done terrible damage to itself already and is trying to save what is left. Now they need to expel students involved in the disruptions too.
Is Melissa Click Debbie Washerwoman-Shitz twin sister? Inquiring minds want to know.

They only reason they are firing anybody now is to save their totally over-paid worthless @sses.
There are probably at least 20 people at the top that need to go.
Oh yeah without a doubt.
They are easy to spot out. They always have an angry look, the lunatic crazed eyes, they stink, bad breath, and look like they never got dressed for the day.
“It was all about student enrollment falling massively, and they are even having to close buildings. The University is a panic because they are losing money.”
Maybe they should “bring in” Bernie Sanders wife. She can float an un-backed loan and maybe bankrupt Mizzou.
Yes! Carrot Top is their brother!
Bingo!
Remember when everything was said and done it turned out to be fake. It was made up lie by a Black Lives Matter student that the KKK was running around on campus looking to lynch black students.
Oh and how can we forget the so called poopl Swastika in a bathroom of a college bar. The problem was it did not even look like a swastika. It looked sort of like the letter “x”.
When everything was over. The Leftist still did not care it was not real, and all the damage they did to the university.
Why do Black people (BLM) need white women to lead them?
The sad part is that neither one of these two hags probably gives a crap about black people.
Purely HYPER virtue signalling.
Hope the feel great that they both fought the good fight and that their fellow comrades totally respect them for it.
Is unemployment benefits still 99 weeks or something like that?
Thanks hussein..
Haha!
Haha!
The administration should be held accountable for the major FUBAR. Maybe there will be a new Mizzou Pres. or Board of Regents (none too) soon.
Of course you read the part here where this steaming pile of an excuse for a person was hired by the Jesuit school, Gonzaga?
To me, this latter part is unthinkable. What does a Catholic school need with such vapor?
They tried their damnedest to outwait the public anger, but had to capitulate.
More winning.
Well, she is still more moral and ethical than the Pope.
It took nearly two years to officially get rid of her? Unbelievable.
