She was given the option of "remedial training" or being fired, because she chose not to comply with university policies. She then chose to be fired.

I don't think, in this case anyway, it was a question of skill or knowledge. It was a question of willingness to do the job she was assigned, willingness she did not have and gave no indication that she would ever have it.

To use your mechanic analogy, this would be more like having a shop full of equally qualified mechanics, but with one mechanic who refuses to do oil changes because he might get greasy.

Things like this didn't present a problem for an officer. Officers had a tried and
