Melissa Click Hired as new GU lecturer

[coolhandzag]

Amazed the weak minded bully pulpit even allowed this thread to be posted.

Thank you for illustrating the point.

I'm all for second chances. Emotionally charged situations can lead to awkward decision making. I wonder what we could gleam from a video feed of 30 days from most posters on this board? I myself could probably shock most with a poor decision here and there. Ever see an intoxicated portion of the Zag contingency on the Strip after a loss to St. Mary's? Some choices I witnessed made Click's look pretty tame.

If she is qualified.....apparently the most qualified to some articles....I personally have some doubts, but, so be it...lets see if it works out. I would not be surprised if this turned out to be "favor" hire.

My question for Click would be....where does the Romanization of Abstinence within Meyer's magnum opus fit in at GU. Maybe next to President Snow's laissez faire jurisdictional review to governance within the districts? I would be curious if she got the joke.

Too lazy to go back & look, but I assume most of you were pretty pissed when Few gave Doug Wojcik a second chance last year & continues to do so.

I'm absolutely embarrassed to have this idiot representing Gonzaga in any way, matter, shape, or form. The last thing we need is for her to inflict the damage she imposed on Missouri which is a horrific attendance decline. The person who hired her needs to be fired.

Admit to being lazy and assuming in the same sentence ...........not surprised you support Click.

Thanks web! I found it interesting that I posted a couple of comments on that thread.

IMO, these two situations are dissimilar, and I'll just leave it at that.

Speaking from experience?

Yup

Gonzaga University`s reputation just took a huge hit!!! This vile woman should not be teaching anything except maybe Marxism and the repression of free speech.

[doctorzag]

"She publicly apologized for the incident on Nov. 10 and reportedly reached out to the two photographers to express regret over her actions."

So she had a bad, like, 10 seconds of her life in a heated moment, apologized for it the next day, served a serious punishment (losing her job)...and it's "embarrassing" for GU to hire her?

Really??? Ever heard of google ??? This woman is a horrible little troll.

She is already bringing great Press but not the kind we need at Gonzaga.

"Gonzaga, a tuition-starved Jesuit school in eastern Washington known mainly for its basketball team, is a big step down, true. Missouri has one of the nation’s best journalism schools. Gonzaga is nowheresville. Moreover, Click was hired for a one-year, non-tenure track position, which means she was pretty desperate."

"It looks like Gonzaga wanted some publicity, which it is getting. Perhaps some trustees at the provincial Jesuit institution want to shed troubling vestiges of Ignatian spirituality and are eager to hop on the crazy train. Maybe they’re clueless. But the Mermann-Jozwiaks and Rossings who are doing the hiring know what they want and what they are doing. Click might be in their minds a catch.

Whatever the case, Click’s appointment is another example of the absolutely broken hiring and reward system in higher education today, and the audacity of those who control it."

I found myself thinking she deserved a second chance. until I spent about 10 minutes of research and found that she has engaged in this type of behavior several times and is truly not sorry for her willingness to threaten the use of violence against a COLLEGE student reporter (and actual criminal act of misdemeanor assault when she grabs the camera from the students possession).

Then you combine that with her current statements that she is a victim of race and was fired simply for being white lady.............that indicates to me she truly does not understand what she did was wrong....

as a professor, as an adult, as a person involved in journalism and as a human being the act of trying to use violence to intimidate a reporter from doing their constitutional right should be readily apparent that you are crossing a serious line. It is down right offensive and undermines the foundational principle of our country. Do it once .....ok got caught up in the moment, do it several times indicates a pattern of behavior which arises out of an attitude or mindset. Then to try and claim you are fired because you are a white lady really indicates to me that the mindset is a dangerous one and should not be involved in higher education.

sadly disappointed


and yes basketball zag your last line sums it up perfectly
