The University of Missouri professor at the center of a growing backlash for her confrontation with members of the media during a protest Monday on campus has stepped down from her courtesy appointment in the journalism school, according to a new report. Melissa Click, who taught at the Missouri School of Journalism but is keeping her post teaching mass media in the university's communications department, was caught on video inciting a physical confrontation with student reporters, urging people to help her remove them from the area where the protest was taking place.
