CSU professors (and professors in general) may technically be at-will (I don't know) but they are definitely members of a union that has negotiated various employment rights, including around how dismissal works. Furthermore, I think the article says she is tenured, which adds another layer of protection to her employment. If CSU did want to dismiss her (after going through the various steps as the popehat article describes), there would be further review steps based on the union rules and tenure.
