I wonder if someone will say this apology didn't come fast enough...
quote:
"As a student affairs professional, I take my responsibility to students very seriously. Yesterday, I allowed my emotions to get the best of me while trying to protect some of our students. Instead of defusing an already tense situation, I contributed to its escalation. I regret how I handled the situation, and I am offering a public apology to the journalist involved.
I have the utmost respect for journalists and the profession of journalism. I have devoted my career to helping students learn and develop outside the classroom. What happened on Carnahan Quadrangle has been a lesson for me. I am deeply sorry for what happened.”

Click released an apology to the Department of Communication Tuesday evening, saying, "Yesterday was a historic day at MU- full of emotion and confusion. I have reviewed and reflected upon the video of me that is circulating, and have written this statement to offer both apology and context for my actions. I have reached out to the journalists involved to offer my sincere apologies and to express regret over my actions. I regret the language and strategies I used, and sincerely apologize to the MU 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. My actions were shaped by exasperation with a few spirited reporters. From this experience I have learned about humanity and humility. When I apologized to Tim Tai in a phone call this afternoon, he accepted my apology. I believe he is doing a difficult job, and I am grateful to hav ehad the opportunity to speak with him. His dignity also speaks well to the journalism program at MU. Again, I wish to express my sincere apology for my actions on the Carnahan Quad yesterday."
Click is a member of the MU Communications Department, and prior to Tuesday held a courtesy appointment in the School of Journalism.
The MU Department of Communication released a statement Tuesday saying it would not comment on personnel matters.

Click needs to be fired. A person in her position behaving the way she did is an embarrassment to academia in general, and the University specifically.

If the President resigned for not taking action, then certainly she should resign for acting inappropriately.

That ugly count better be fired

She should have apologized for invoking her white privilege on this poor reporter

Everybody should resign, students included. Lots of sorrowful public apologies followed by a permanent vacation in Disney World.

Will someone start a hunger strike until she is fired?
It may sound silly, but repression of the media is a huge problem.

The apology came only because the university is reviewing the appointments.

If they wanted to hold Wolf accountable then these 2 need to be held accountable. As soon as that video became public their termination papers should have been handed to them.

Click violates my safe space. She triggers me with her microagressions towards the Constitution. I am going on a hunger strike until she resigns.

The Midwest is a shite hole. This is a great opportunity for its residents to move.

Linked article about threats called in to the "black culture center during the black caucus meeting". Wonder if it came from the white culture center? I think the white caucus meeting is this week and am more than a little suspicious.

Every rumor that could happen was posted on twitter.

Think about that for a moment. Apology followed by excuse making. Unacceptable.
