University of Missouri Professor Who Confronted Photographer Quits Journalism Post
After a University of Missouri professor was seen on video calling for “some muscle” to remove a journalist from a public demonstration, the professor cut her ties to the university’s journalism school on Tuesday as protest organizers — and the professor herself — joined college officials in stating that journalists had a right to be present.
The professor, Melissa Click, an assistant professor in the department of communication had what was described as a “courtesy appointment” at the School of Journalism, meaning that she could serve on student thesis review panels. “Journalism school faculty members are taking immediate action to review that appointment,” David Kurpius, the dean of the school, said in a statement released Tuesday, stressing that Ms. Click did not teach at the school.
Dr. Kurpius said in a message on Twitter late Tuesday that Ms. Click resigned her courtesy appointment with the journalism school during a faculty meeting that day. It was unclear whether her status within the department of communication, which is in the College of Arts and Sciences, had changed.
Both the journalism school and the department of communication defended the rights of journalists in a Monday confrontation with protesters who said they wanted to create a media-free “safe space” at a protest encampment on a campus quad.
In particular, one student photographer, Tim Tai, was seen in a much-watched video arguing with protesters who surrounded him and pushed him back. Toward the end of the video, the person shooting it identified himself to Ms. Click as also being with the media, and when he refused her demands that he leave, she yelled: “Who wants to help me get this reporter out of here? I need some muscle over here.”
In a statement on Tuesday, Ms. Click said, “I regret the language and strategies I used, and sincerely apologize to the M.U. 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.” She said she had called the journalists involved to apologize, personally.
Mr. Tai said he accepted the apology.
“I never had ill will toward her and I felt bad when I heard she’d been getting threats,” he said. “I think this has been a learning experience for everyone involved, myself included, and I hope this blows over for both of us.”
