You’re right. Tenure grants protection against firing. But that protection is not unlimited. At the very least Jarrar should be forced to go before a university committee to explain herself.
And if she stands by her vile comments, the committee should revoke her tenure. But this being California, she might get a promotion instead.
I suspect that they’d probably go and demand she attends some kind of psychological counseling/evaluation, admit some kind of breakdown, and take a six-month sabbatical. With that, some kind of strongly worded statement that she ever goes off like this again....they let her go.
The problem here is that she’s a nutjob waiting for some student to film her in the next tirade, and the university will have her on a short rope to let go...the tenure won’t matter.
The clinic was unavailable to the demographic that it serves for a day or two, and was still getting 10's of calls/hour looking for Ms. Jarrar days later.
Anybody involved in LE or the clinic/school should do a quick sanity check on any deaths/suicides/assaults/property damages during that time span to see if any attempt was made to contact the clinic, and go from there on any "involuntary" whatever.
