The students are the customers, purchasing instruction from the professor. If the university is a good vendor, it will instruct this wayward employee to give the customers the convenience they expect.

Almost exactly backwards. In this case the vendor is always right, if you disagree you can quit or be pushed-out, and you'll still have to pay the bill.

Which they are free to do or not do as they see fit.

Alternately, they may back up their employee, agree that different teaching techniques can be useful and that she may have a point about their education being better doing it her way and the level of competency of the graduates will lead them to higher compensation and ultimately to increased business for the school. Long view verses short view.

Education is generally inconvenient in my experience.

Just a different view.
