While that was not a good thing, Stanford University put out a policy statement that she had violated their policy and she was wrong. This is excellent! I can get behind this response and think the issue need go no further than that.
But now it turns out that this employee has left the employment of Stanford, presumably of her own accord and Reportedly due to cool relations she’s having with fellow faculty members.
Hers was probably not a fireable offense, but since she was the Diversity Equity and Inclusion Officer of that faculty, she had a Teflon cocoon around her. God forbid you fire your DEI hire.
