She’s definitionally not good at teaching her subject, as she doesn’t have even the most basic understanding of freedom of the press.

Who else but an American university would hire her and in what capacity? She couldn't earn a living in the real world. And how could we go on without her thoughts on Madonna?

Here here. I agree. We should “leave her alone?” If she was a trump supporter who attacked a reporter there would be much less sympathy

Ooof, you don’t think treating young adults — because at 18, college students *are* adults — like kindergarten kids is dangerous? Once they’re unleashed on the world, these coddled younguns will have a very rude awakening when they no longer get a snack and a nap after learning about how special they are.

I think that’s roughly true. In this climate, the university would not have fired a black female professor, for fear of a lawsuit.

This is the world the Internet outrage machine made but since Melissa click is on their side we should take it easy on her, mind you she was basically inciting violence.

Correct. It bears noting that the journalist she physically assaulted was an Asian Student, Tim Tai. If this were a male professor assaulting a female student, everyone on this site would be throwing the kitchen sink, refrigerator and microwave at him. Moral consistency is important here.

Racial politics? I don't think so. More like assaulting a reporter.

The University of Missouri suffered a drop of 2,600 students enrolling for the Fall 2016 semester. The drop translates to a $36 million budget shortfall for the university. This largely has been attributed to the furor surrounding the student protests and Ms. Click’s actions.

In an April interview with the Chronicle of Higher Education, Click claimed that her firing was “all about racial politics,” and that as a “white lady” she’d been an “easy target.”

Be proud Zags. Your university look around the wide world of academia and this was what they came up with. If it makes you unhappy, write your university president. It makes a difference.

WTF even is “Communications” as an academic discipline? Like, I’ve heard ex-athletes who majored in it say that they “have a degree in talking on the phone”...

Teaching positions at universities are coveted. If this moron gets a position despite making herself and her old school look bad, that speaks volumes about the unfairness in hiring practices at these schools.

Because she's a typical left wing nut case?

Gozanga University is a real school?

If she was black she'd already have tenure and an endowment.

Same thing happened with Jordan Sargent and Hamilton Nolan

Lady is an asshole. I hope students avoid her like the plague.

petty drive-by online pile-ons is what Jezebel does best. I guess Amy and Lena are the latest evil ones that must be shamed.
