Missouri professor who asked for muscle to remove journalist is now being considered for dismissal as well she should be. Her actions are unprofessional and completely inappropriate for a faculty member.
Click was seen at the end of the video asking for assistance and for "muscle" to remove Mark Schierbecker, who filmed the interaction and uploaded his footage to YouTube.
Kurpius and Esther Thorson, the journalism school's associate dean for graduate studies, characterized Click's actions as a clear violation of First Amendment rights. Kurpius said taking actions that might escalate a peaceful protest was "unwarranted."
UPDATE: MU journalism faculty voting to reconsider Click's courtesy appointment
