The appeal was dismissed after the board decided her appeal brought no new information. The board released the following statement:
This action by the board completes the discipline and appeals process for Dr. Click. Dr. Click was treated fairly throughout this matter, including meeting with investigators multiple times to share information as well as her opinion; providing investigators with a list of favorable witnesses, with every attempt made by investigators to meet with those suggested by Dr. Click; ample opportunity, along with her legal counsel, to review and provide comments to the investigator’s report, which included all documents, videos and witness statements in the report, before the final report was even reviewed by the board; and finally, Dr. Click’s opportunity to appeal the decision of the board.
We consider this matter now closed and are moving forward as a university and as a community.
Dr. Click was terminated on February 24 after an investigation into her involvement with student protests on Mizzou's campus last year.
