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.

I had, a few months back, received posts/mail from a husband and wife team of Profs. on the Missouri faculty who are Freepers.
I can’t remember who but it would be nice, to see their view!

This is her moment of opportunity.

A BIG moment in her life.

Shortly we will see what she is made of.

I firmly believe in redemption, and following true redemption, a second chance.

I hope she redeems herself, otherwise her life is going to be wasted, and America need good people.

She doesn’t have tenure? She’s gone.

Likely promoted to department dean.
