Melissa Click Takes Her Muscle to Gonzaga

Everyone's least favorite communications professor has landed a new job. 

The last time we heard from the University of Missouri assistant communications professor Melissa Click, she was calling for some "muscle" to stop Journalists from doing their job. Yes, a communications professor did that. 

Click has landed a new job at Gonzaga University for the next year. the school says she has been hired in a lecturer job in the undergraduate communication studies department at the private Catholic school in Spokane.

Click's firing by Missouri in February followed run-ins with police during October 2015 protests in Columbia and with two student journalists weeks later on the campus, including a videotaped confrontation in which she called for "some muscle" to remove a student videographer from the protest area.

That video went viral, and more than 100 Missouri lawmakers, mostly Republican, called for her ouster.

Click later said she regretted her actions but insisted her firing was unfair.
