I believe President Schill's point is that it is inexcusable for a supposedly educated person to not understand the implications of wearing blackface in modern America. Her intent may not have been harmful, but her qualifications to teach law might just be called into question if she is that culturally ignorant. Such actions do warrant an investigation into whether she is someone who had one, rather large, blindspot or whether she is simply unqualified.

He did say that she could not be fired out of hand and would have her due process rights protected. I for one think President Schill is handling this bucket of slop he has been given as well it could be done. He's the best university leader I have seen in many a decade and he has my full support, not that that means much.
