BONUS - THINK LIKE A LAWYER!

A State University professor has been criticized for comments she's made in support of some aspects of ISIS ideology. Local citizens have called for her firing by the Board of Regents. Others, while not necessarily condoning her comments, have defended her right to articulate them. Should the Board take action against the professor, what would be the basis for doing so? How might the professor defend her actions?

Remember, the best way to answer this type of question is to use the IRAC format!
