Missouri assistant professor under fire for dramatic

Media under siege on Mizzou campus

Never autoplay videos
The Dean of the Missouri School of Journalism on Tuesday lambasted an assistant communications professor and
lauded a photojournalism student for their roles in Monday's viral video showing a confrontation between that student
journalist and protesters attempting to block him from shooting photos on a public quad.

#ConcernedStudent1950 vs the media
The video, showing University of Missouri protestors and Assistant Professor Melissa Click, was posted on YouTube
shortly after University of Missouri System President Tim Wolfe resigned following a week of protests over his perceived
lack of response to a series of racially charged incidents. The Los Angeles Times reported that Tim Tai, a 20-year-old
senior at the university working on a freelance assignment for ESPN, went to the protesters' tent encampment to
document their reaction to the news.
Shortly after Tai arrived and began to take photos, the protesters formed a ring around the encampment and began to
push away the assembled media. Tai refused to budge.
"The Missouri School of Journalism is proud of photojournalism senior Tim Tai for how he handled himself during a
protest on Carnahan Quad on the University of Missouri campus," Dean David Kurpius said in Tuesday's statement.

"The news media have First Amendment rights to cover public events," Kurpius said. "Tai handled himself professionally
and with poise."
In the video, Tai tells one demonstrator that he has "a job to do! I'm documenting this for a national news organization.
This is the First Amendment that protects your right to stand here and mine!"
One school administrator, identified as Janna Basler, the school's director of Greek life and leadership, is seen on the
video confronting Tai. When he asks her name, Basler says, "I am Concerned Student 1950," a reference to the name of
the African-American group leading the protests.
Near the end of the video, another adult, identified as Click, tells another reporter, "You need to get out," before asking
other protesters for help.
"Who wants to help me get this reporter out of here?" she asks, adding as the video ends, "I need some muscle over
here."
Kurpius said Click, who is a member of the MU Department of Communication in the College of Arts and Science, holds a
2/16
11/10/2015
"courtesy appointment with the School of Journalism."

"Journalism School faculty members are taking immediate action to review that appointment," Kurpius said in his
statement.
Tom Warhover, the executive editor of the Columbia Missourian, a university newspaper, told the Times he was "pretty
incensed" about Tai's treatment.
"I find it ironic that particularly faculty members would resort to those kinds of things for no good reason. I understand
students who are protesting and want privacy. But they are not allowed to push and assault our photographers -- our
student photographers."
Tai told the Los Angeles Times the situation resembled last year's protests in Ferguson, Mo., which he also covered. The
only difference, he said, was "it was the police doing it then."

Very disappointed in these folks. You can't speak the truth, only what
is acceptable to the people that are upset. So the President of the
university is forced to resign. You demand protection of the 1st
amendment yet when others are owed the same respect you demand
you tell them no.

Are liberals and especially blacks at Missouri that stupid. A black calls
the university a white institution - hello - There are black universities
(black institutions) but I am not aware of a white university. These
liberals need to take a course on our Constitution and especially the
First Amendment.
