What they could fire her for is conduct unbecoming. She challenged people to call her and posted the schools mental health number, which is now being overloaded and interfering with people in need.

California State University’s Fresno campus is investigating after one of their English professors tweeted she was “happy” former first lady Barbara Bush was dead just an hour after her passing was announced.
The author and professor, Randa Jarrar, tweeted a slew of comments about Bush, calling her “a generous and smart and amazing racist who, along with her husband, raised a war criminal.”
Bush, 92, died Tuesday night just days after her family announced her health was failing.
Amid the backlash to her tweets, Jarrar, who also said she “can’t wait for the rest of [the Bush] family to fall to their demise,” said that she couldn’t get fired from her job at Fresno State because of tenure.

The university’s provost, Lynnette Zelezny, referred to the professor’s comments as “disrepectful” during a news conference Wednesday, and said the school is taking the situation “very seriously.”
“We understand the concern from the community and we are taking this very seriously,” Zelezny said, according to The Fresno Bee. “To answer the technical question: Can she not be fired? The answer is no.”
