From Campus Reform:
Dr. Brigham was sharply criticized in the media for requiring his students to attend class and take their exam. Salon ran a story with the headline “White Missouri professor shames black students for heeding violent threats.”The Washington Post featured similar coverage of “a white professor” who “challenged his students to come to class.”
Those upset with Dr. Brigham’s decision to hold class took to Twitter calling for Brigham to be fired and calling him “a failure as a human being.”
Here are some tweets from “those upset”:

Outrage over Melissa Click. Where is the outrage over Dale Brigham? #Mizzou #mizzouthreats https://t.co/xEeX8K8byR

Well, mission accomplished, snowflakes:
Under intense pressure, Dr. Brigham has both cancelled the exam and resigned from the university, according to screenshots posted online of an email from Dr. Brigham to his students.
Here’s that email:
https://twitter.com/Timberfoxx/status/664493156893749248
You know who hasn’t resigned from Mizzou? Melissa Click. You know, the professor who called on “muscle” to rough up reporters trying to cover the student protests.
Dale Brigham is out for being correct. Click stays while denying someone their constitutionally protected rights? We send kids to college?
— Tom Ferguson (@ThomasGFerguson) November 11, 2015
So, at the end of the day Dale Brigham was right, he's resigning due to immense backlash, yet Melissa click and Janna Basler are still here.
— Dan (@dblanchard327) November 11, 2015
So Melissa Click is still employed, but Dale Brigham resigned today. Interesting. #Mizzou

Professor who physically threatened journalist, keeps job. Professor who refused to cancel exam, resigns under fire.https://t.co/PnZGKKHiqQ

Melissa Click who infringes on 1st Amendment rights is still at #Mizzou but #DaleBrigham is not? Shame @Mizzou. https://t.co/Vwcc4ceg0A

Dr. Dale Brigham, YOU WILL BE MISSED!! #DaleBrigham #mizzou
— Megan Gatschenberger (@MegzGatsch) November 11, 2015
Dale Brigham is a genuinely nice and caring individual. If he is to resign due to pressure from Twitter, this university has lost its way.
— Dan (@dblanchard327) November 11, 2015
Damn just saw Dale Brigham resigned. He was easily one of my favorite professors at Mizzou and this shouldnt have happened. What a shame
— Ricky Armola (@SlickRickDaRulr) November 11, 2015
And now Dr Dale Brigham, one of the most beloved teachers at Mizzou has been pushed out. When does the witch hunt end?
— Michael Sheehan (@Mediumsizedmike) November 11, 2015
Not until the social justice warriors have claimed their last scalp.
Dale Brigham is not the problem here
— Stark (@denzelgodspeed) November 11, 2015
No. He isn’t.
In the meantime, we sincerely hope Prof. Brigham lands on his feet and hope that he’ll find a permanent place where he’ll be given the appreciation and respect he so richly deserves.
