It has to do with the reason she’s being fired, which is (predictably) not covered in the NYT article.
Within hours of the October 7th rebellion, 30 separate student groups issued a statement that was critical of Israel’s apartheid system. Gay did not immediately have the leaders of these groups expelled, and instead issued a bunch of moderate statements that could be summed up as “violence bad”, which outraged Zionists. She tried rewriting the statements several times but the Zionists could already taste blood, and they finally found an excuse good enough to print in the paper of record.
But, if she did the things she did, then it surely is her own fault, no? Or, as long as you are for the right cause, your past disgressions do not matter?

That’s correct, if she had punished those students then her past digressions would not matter.
She had something that could be used against her, so it was a matter of time before someone used it.
