The University of Missouri professor charged with assault after being accused of pushing a student journalist who was documenting a race-related student protest on campus in November has been suspended.
Following a special board meeting Wednesday afternoon, Pam Henrickson, chair of the university Board of Curators, announced that Melissa Click “is suspended pending further investigation.”
In a teleconference that lasted nearly three hours, curators called for the university general counsel, or outside counsel selected by general counsel, “to immediately conduct an investigation and collaborate with the city attorney and promptly report back to the Board so it may determine whether additional discipline is appropriate,” Henrickson said in a statement released Wednesday evening.
It was not determined whether Click’s suspension would be without pay.
Click, an MU communications professor, was charged Monday with third-degree assault, a misdemeanor that carries a possible 15-day jail sentence.
