Over 100 faculty members signed this letter. It is an interesting way to characterize a battery and attempt to restrain the press from doing their job.

"We believe that her actions on November 9 constitute at most a regrettable mistake, one that came, moreover, at the end of several weeks during which Click served alongside other faculty and staff as an ally to students who were protesting
what they saw as their exclusion from and isolation at the University."

1. I decline to choose sides between her and the Republican goons in Mizzou nt

2. The faculty should have been satisfied with a statement

that stated they supported the discipline review process of the University. They characterized a battery and attempt to restrict the press as a mistake. That is wrong.

3. Yeah, umm. No. Quite a bit more than 'a regrettable mistake'.

Backing into your neighbor's car is a 'regrettable mistake'. Flushing the toilet and hearing your SO yelp from the suddenly scalding water is a 'regrettable mistake'.

This, coming from someone who damned well knows better, and TEACHES that-- is a class one, prime rib FUCK UP of XXL proportions.

4. Yep

All this letter tells me is that there may be about 100 other professors who perhaps shouldn't be teaching.

5. Trying to silence a journalist is not the sort of example a professor should set.

6. Sorry, but acting like a fascist, even with the best of motives, is still acting like a fascist.

She needs to be dismissed.
