The chancellor was texting about her to the lt gov's chief of staff, as per the article. That's fairly damming -- there's no legitimate reason for the lt gov to get involved with a university professor.
I think that some (most) professors have far too much leeway and impunity to do almost whatever they want, which can and has created many issues within higher education. I also think that topic should be talked about far more than it is. But if you can't see the issue with this story, I don't know what to tell you.
