At an executive session Wednesday, the school's Board of Curators voted 4-2 to terminate Click's employment. Click has the right to appeal the decision.

"The board believes that Dr. Click's conduct was not compatible with university policies and did not meet expectations for a university faculty member," board spokeswoman Pam Henrickson said in a statement on Thursday.

First question: why did it take this long? First thought was - Good.
 
Don't feel too sorry for her. She can always get a job being a Carrot Top double.

You mean either Union or Tenure, or both? Both breed contempt, as seen by the actions of this woman.

Both as well as the fact that in most places it is pretty hard to fire someone after their probation period.
 
She is paid to teach, not to be a activist................. unless she can get away with it without her liberal bosses getting called out on it. Then her bosses do the liberal "thingy" by throwing her under the bus and proving to the world that they do not tolerate such behavior.

After she's gone, they hire another "loon".

Because it's big, big trouble to just outright fire a woman of color and God only knows that Flaming Pink is unquestionably a color.:lol:

Just because you draw a paycheck for doing one thing doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to participate in activism? The problem here isn't her participation in activism, it is her trying to have journalists illegally removed from a public area.

I'm fine with the punishment. If the First Amendment isn't sacrosanct on a university campus then where the hell is it?

Her manhandling of reporters was her obvious hypocrisy. ;)

Typical Lib..... you can't say what I say.
 
While I support the movement at Mizzou, they are right to let her go. You can't have a professor threatening students like that.
 
They actually lost new students in enrollment versus last year. Her actions hit the school financially.

They made the right move on every level.

She was an assistant professor of communication in the school of journalism. How's that for a hoot?
And I agree. She had every right to be at the demonstration and was 'way out of line trying to interfere with the reporting of it.
