Melissa Click up to her old ways.
Via Truth Revolt:
Remember University of Missouri assistant professor Melissa Click? She’s the one who called for “muscle” in removing a journalist from lawfully covering a campus protest. As a result, Click was fired from her post by Mizzou’s Board of Curators in February on grounds of professional misconduct.
Now, anyone who’s ever filed an unemployment claim knows full well that being fired for misconduct nullifies one’s eligibility to collect benefits. Not in Click’s self-entitled mind, however. After being publicly disgraced, Click still had the hubris to hire attorneys and fight the university’s decision to refuse her unemployment benefits. The Columbia Tribune reports:
A hearing was held Wednesday in Jefferson City by a referee who takes evidence in appeals filed by employers and employees after a decision is made on an initial application for benefits. The university in February hired attorney Chuck Hatfield of Stinson Leonard Street LLP “for advice and representation regarding separation of employment of Melissa Click, including claims asserted by Ms. Click and related legal proceedings,” according to an engagement letter from the firm.
The university is fighting Click’s unemployment claim “because according to state statute, an employee is not entitled to unemployment benefits when discharged for misconduct,” UM System spokesman John Fougere wrote in an email.
