Statement by Melissa Click, Assistant Professor of the Department of Communication, Regarding Carnahan Quad Protests

COLUMBIA, Mo. – “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. I have reached out to the journalists involved to offer my sincere apologies and to express regret over my actions. I regret the language and strategies I used, and sincerely apologize to the MU campus community, and journalists at large, for my behavior, and also for the way my actions have shifted attention away from the students’ campaign for justice.

From this experience I have learned about humanity and humility. When I apologized to one of the reporters in a phone call this afternoon, he accepted my apology. I believe he is doing a difficult job, and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to speak with him. His dignity also speaks well to the Journalism program at MU. Again, I wish to express my sincere apology for my actions on Carnahan Quad yesterday.”

Well, at least it’s a real apology, and not the usual “I’m sorry that you don’t see things my way” that we get from libs.

If the university president had apologized for his perceived indifference to acts of racism on campus, would this woman have accepted his apology? Hell, no. Fire her!!!
