Nikki Giovanni, who teaches poetry, said she threatened to resign if Cho was not taken out of her class.

I'll call BS on that.  If  she can't produce a written record of it, I consider it drama-crap.

It's ture. The department head verified it and stated that she,(the department head) was giving private tutoring to the Cho because of the professor's objections to him.gunman.

My speculation is that the poetry professor had such clout due to her national reputation as a famous poet that she could insist Cho be removed from her class. Other professors may have wanted him out but didn't have the political power to make a stink. Academia is very political.
