Melissa Click, the University of Missouri professor who was filmed trying to intimidate journalists during a campus protest, has been fired.
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.
Courtney Fitzpatrick, a spokesperson for Click, said, "She is not taking interviews and has no comment at this time."
Last fall, as the Mizzou campus was gripped with protests over charges of racism at the school, Click, an assistant professor of communications, was recorded aggressively confronting a video journalist.
