This prompted me to communicate my sentiments regarding this revelation... here it is:

Dear President McCullogh,
I guess it's a
good thing that your basketball team won big this season. After all, it
brings in the bucks! But, the news I learned today causes me to contact
you.
As an alumni who acquired my masters
degree from your university, I am appalled and ashamed to learn that
Professor Melissa Click - formerly of Mizzou, where she was fired for
her actions at a protest - has been hired at your institution. I don't
understand why, but the idea repulses me.
As
a retired public school teacher (K-12), and currently a Pierce County
Planning Commissioner, I want to thank whoever was responsible for
hiring Ms. Click at Gonzaga U. for confirming my decision to NEVER
financially support an institution of higher learning who is willing to
bring onto their staff someone who saw fit to "muscle" a reporter and
ignore their 1st amendment right of free speech and assembly. I don't
know about Gonzaga U's. staff, but I take such Constitutional rights
seriously.
I will no longer mention to
anyone I see in public, wearing a G.U. piece of gear - sweatshirt,
t-shirt, hat, etc. - that I also am an alumni of G.U., nor will I advise
any high school students to consider applying for G.U., as I am now
embarrassed to be associated with a school that chooses to support such
radicals who subvert our country's freedoms and liberties.
I hope this sentiment of mine is only one of many that come from fellow alumni!
J.M.H., WA
