I was just thinking that putting the crosses back up, handed to her slowly one at at time , with a history might have more of an impact than a fine.
Okay, with that out of the way, Here's how I would do the "accounting" on what she did. There are three sides to her action. She committed a, well, misdeed against "the Peace"; she injured the people who put up the display by destroying their work; she stomped all over the ethos of an educational institution and over the legitimate expectations of a professor.
So she owes "the Peace" something, something like a fine and/or some time in the pokey where she is deprived of the freedom she misused.
She also owes the folks who put up the display recompense for the damage she did to their property and to the product of their labor AND for the violation of their rights. These days, at least here in central VA, property crimes like this are often handled as part of the criminal sentencing procedure. Bad guys, uh, persons, are -- as PART of their punishment -- told to work with "Offender Aid and Restoration (OAR)" to compensate those they have harmed, in addition to a fine and/or other punishment for violating the civil order.
Losing the protection of her tenured status (assuming she had any) and being required to leave the university faculty seems adequate for her putting her "outrage" ahead of the requirements of an academic community.
That's how I see it. And I don't want the state to be very merciful to someone who stomps on the first amendment as she did. A week in the pokey (and she has to serve the entire week and not on weekends) and $1k fine would be adequate, IMHO.

Wow, that's good. I still nick her with a fine; disguise it if you like as having her pay the ridiculous overtime charges for a L.E. "supervisor" for the project.
