Melissa Click gained notoriety after her call for “some muscle over here,” physically preventing a reporter from doing his job while asking for help in doing so.

Click told the reporter he had “no right to be here” and needed to “get out.”

She was subsequently fired from the University of Missouri for her unlawful and physically threatening behavior.

Now, Click is making headlines again.

Incredibly, she was rehired, after only four months, by Gonzaga University, as a contracted lecturer in their communications department. She will resume her teaching career, heading introductory classes this fall.

The Daily Caller is reporting:

Communications department chair Jonathan Rossing told the Bulletin that Click was simply the best person for the job. “She was very transparent and clear about some of the events at Missouri, so there was no surprise or anything,” Rossing said. “After the national search and the screens took place, she emerged as the top candidate based on her record of teaching [and] scholarship.” Some may question the value of Click’s scholarship, which has delved deeply into subjects such as the Twilight series, Fifty Shades of Grey, and “the commodification of femininity, affluence and whiteness” by Martha Stewart.

Those of us surprised by Click’s rehiring into academia so quickly are not alone. Yet, in spite of her record of inciting violence, and her clear misunderstanding of what actions are lawful or not, she will resume her career.

However, she isn’t surprised. She seems to think she deserves to continue a professional career in academics, even after her shaming, for which she shows little remorse.

The Daily Caller continues:

Click herself told the Bulletin she wasn’t surprised to find herself back in the academy. “I believe that I have a strong career,” she said. “I’ve proven myself in many areas of academia and, yeah, I was confident that I would find myself in another position.”
