Fred Clark in his blog slacktivist at patheos had many posts on this topic.

My impression was that her 'termination' was less because of the theology and more because she was black and female. IIRC she was 1st black tenured prof (?), and school admin and donors had real problems with that.

Anyone wanting background on this scandal should check out slacktivist's posts
