True she can’t be fired - more the pity! - but I hope parents of prospective students and the alumni are seeing that they have a functional idiot as a member of the tenured faculty.
I'd argue that her words require more publicity because of this.
In academia, student retention and recruitment is #1. Always. If this idiot's commentary keeps just one student away, then she's a liability, not an asset. Sure, she has tenure, but there are always ways to get around that.
