Sad state of affairs but she does have the option not to participate. Online threats are psychological harassment just like a harassing phone call. One can choose not to answer. 

But significant that the harassers are filing bad faith public disclosure requests requiring her and colleagues to waste hours of time responding. I noted with approval that Starbird analogized this to a denial of service attack. If you teach at a public university in a state with an ‘open records’ statute, you don’t get to choose not to answer.

Good point.  Statutory harassment.  There ought to be a law against it.  :-)
