But many professors — even those who found her comments profoundly racist — objected to disciplining her on the grounds of academic freedom.

The accountability office said many of those systems “have critical operational impacts” on air traffic safety and efficiency. Many of them are also facing “challenges that are historically problematic for aging systems,” according to the report.
