This sounds so surreal for GSU as a college culture–what’s the deal here?
Are they that stupid in the COMMUNICATIONS dept.?
I doubt it, but, as in any collection of humans, you will have persons that cannot control themselves–which makes me wonder if the Com Dept. is a little too Suthun for its own good.

For a good article that provides some more detail and context to the case, see:

It’s the department of Middle East Studies–how do you keep Muslims out of that department? That’s just ridiculous.
Of course, all of this now rests on Stewart’s claims: the university did not fire her, she stepped down, so I hope they have proof that the dean insisted that she fire the grad student. If they don’t then the dean gets away with a win/win situation for him/herself.
