University of Missouri (MU) professor Melissa Click has been fired
after a vote by the school’s board of curators, three months after she
grabbed national headlines for attacking a student journalist trying to
cover a protest.
Previously, MU officials insisted Click’s job would be safe at least
until a tenure review process was completed next summer. But after
months of heavy pressure from Republican lawmakers who wanted Click off
the government payroll, the board of curators voted four to two to have
her dismissed early.
