In a statement released this afternoon, the University of Missouri announced it has fired Melissa Click, the media professor who was filmed calling for “muscle” to protect student protestors from journalists during campus demonstrations in November.

Ten days ago, Tim Wolfe—the ex-University of Missouri System president who famously stepped down from his position last November after a black student’s hunger strike made the state’s flagship campus in Columbia the focus of a national discussion regarding the treatment of minority college students—sent an email to confidants that he labeled “CONFIDENTIAL.”

University of Missouri professor Melissa Click—who was formally charged this week with assault after she was filmed pushing a student reporter and calling for “muscle” —has been suspended from her teaching position.

It is fair to say that, in examining the twin meltdowns at Yale and the University of Missouri, the pundit class has come down against the tactics of the students, who, in both cases, have been militant and aggressive. The writers have seen parts of each protest—Yale students berating a professor, Mizzou students boxing out a photographer—as a threat to college as we know it. But could colleges not stand to be threatened?

Police officers in Missouri say they’ve arrested a second college student in connection with threats posted on the anonymous messaging app Yik Yak.

University of Missouri police say they have apprehended the individual who posted threats on the anonymous app Yik Yak, sparking turmoil across the university yesterday and prompting some black students to spend the night off-campus.

Posts from Mizzou students across a variety of social media platforms reflected a campus in turmoil on Tuesday night and into the early hours of Wednesday morning.

Melissa Click has apologized to the “campus community” and “journalists at large” for blocking a reporter from documenting a student demonstration on Monday. “I regret the language and strategies I used... [and also] the way my actions have shifted attention away from the students’ campaign for justice.”

Over the past week, controversies at two American universities—Mizzou and Yale—quickly became major national stories, causing the president of Mizzou to resign and students at Yale to revolt against their administrators and each other.

Earlier this afternoon, University of Missouri president Tim Wolfe resigned his position, succumbing to intense pressure first ignited by the hunger strike of graduate student Jonathan Butler. But Wolfe is not the only school leader on his way out: Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin just announced his resignation, effective at the end of this year.

The University of Missouri’s President Tim Wolfe has resigned in the wake of student criticism that he has not effectively handled racist incidents on campus. Over the weekend, a group of black players on Mizzou’s football team announced they would strike until Wolfe stepped down.
