“…[Melissa] Click’s actions sparked a national outcry, raising concerns about press freedom on the campus. The University of Missouri School of Journalism met to discuss revoking Click's “courtesy appointment” at the school, but Click resigned before the panel reached a decision. She later issued an apology.
“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,” Click said in a Nov. 10 statement.
Mark Schierbecker, the student journalist behind the viral video, filed a complaint in November over the incident. In an email to HuffPost, he praised the city prosecutor’s decision to bring charges.”*
