Yet, I agree. As a university employee myself, I could imagine that a professor (assuming she is one) would behave the way she did. We’re trained to answer questions as asked, showing nuances, rather than judging something black or white.
Congresspeople asked “does the university rules allow something, yes or no!?” Of course, the correct answer is “it depends on the context”, as she replied. That politician used the usual rhetorical tactic. Even they themselves know it’s not yes or no. In that sense, the congress became the political theater as always. I rather dislike the way congresspeople treated her.
That said, she should have known better. Her response also showed that she didn’t try enough with her management.
I do think she should resign.
