"For cause" is whatever a moronic administrator says it is. It is nothing but a meaningless phrase which is supposed to be distinguished from a non-renewal, but both are firings. It sounds like this was an administrative hearing. Those things are nothing but show trials anyway.

If it was an administrative hearing, she can go the civil route if she hasn't already.

BTW, it's only if you commit "gross misconduct" is when you are denied UI like theft, etc.
