"To answer the technical question: Can she not be fired? The answer is no."
Here's another technical question. Does the no before her statement negate the not or is it an affirmation.
I can't tell if the provost is saying the professor can be fired or can't be fired. You can interpret her statement either way.

I thought the same. The provost apparently can’t put out a clear statement.

Can she not be fired? The answer is no. It is poorly phrased, but lets state it in the affirmative:
Can she be fired? The answer is yes.
I believe that is what was intended.

INCREDIBLY sloppy journalism——the header is misleading.
