LSU's law dean pushed out the door

So they are firing her but she [link=(gets to be a full time professor now)]https://www.nola.com/news/education/lsu-law-school-dean-alena-allen-discrimination/article_94512a6b-7397-4491-98cf-4ce0d3c3ecf1.html[/link]. I guess that's part of the employment deal when they hire deans. She says they are canning her because she complained that the school's budget statements were false.

She says racism and sexism are the explanation.

I have never worked in college budgeting. She's saying the budget included false numbers on how much they were going to get from tuition. Is it really possible that something so clearly inaccurate was reported in budget documents? Also I thought it was pretty common that tuition doesn't cover the cost of a school and so they have to make up funding with donations.

According to documents provided to The Advocate | The Times-Picayune, Allen said she was concerned that the school's budget showed it receiving the full cost of tuition when in fact it granted numerous discounts. That led to budget shortfalls, and private donations from the school's foundation filling the gap, she said.
But while she reported the irregularities and worked to address them, she said she faced questions from LSU leaders that led her to believe she was being blamed for the issues — even though they had happened before her tenure.
"I am the first woman and the first person of color to serve as the permanent dean of the Paul M. Hebert Law Center. That fact is not incidental—it is central to what follows," she wrote in one response to auditors. "I find it deeply troubling, and frankly difficult to ignore, that I appear to be held to a standard far more exacting than that applied to my white, overwhelmingly male predecessors. It was they who oversaw and entrenched the very practices I have since questioned and begun to reform."
