But the paper then placed her on administrative leave - prompting a condemnatory letter from colleagues.

The Queen has reached a new milestone this week, after becoming the world's fifth longest reigning monarch.
Her Majesty, 93, surpassed 19th century Emperor of Austria Franz Joseph I on Monday - with her stint on the throne so far lasting 67 years and 356 days.
Franz Joseph I, who ruled the Austrian, and later the Austro-Hungarian Empire from 1848 to 1916, reigned for 67 years and 355 days.
England football team's kitman has come to the aid of a fellow Adidas trainer enthusiast who was faced with selling his collection or being made homeless.
Craig Bell posted on Twitter that he was having to sell some of his beloved trainers to pay £100 owed in rent.
The Bradford City fan, who has amassed 45 pairs over six years, said if he did not pay he would be evicted.
Kitman Pat Frost, also a collector of the trainer brand, spotted his tweet and offered to pay his rent.
Bottom side Luton Town won a thriller against Derby County on a night when Wayne Rooney scored his first goal in English football for more than two years.
Rooney curled in from the edge of the box after being set up by Duane Holmes to give the Rams the lead.
Luton turned the game on its head after goals from Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu and Donervon Daniels, before Chris Martin equalised for Derby.
However, a late Jayden Bogle own goal ended the Hatters' eight-match winless streak, before Derby's Max Lowe was sent off for a shove on referee Andy Davies.
Trivia is Latin, plural of trivium "place where three roads meet;" in transferred use, "an open place, a public place." The adjectival form of this, trivialis, meant "public," hence "common, commonplace" (see trivial).
The Romans also had trivius dea, the "goddess of three ways," another name for Hecate, perhaps originally in her triple aspect (Selene/Diana/Proserpine), but also as the especial divinity of crossroads (Virgil has "Nocturnisque hecate triviis ululata per urbes".
We have had the original theory played so many times but it is still important to look at things afresh and with the perspective of modern expectations and standards of detective work.
Alexander Zverev is through to a Grand Slam semi-final for the first time after defeating Stan Wawrinka in four sets at the Australian Open.
The German seventh seed beat the Swiss three-time Grand Slam champion 1-6 6-3 6-4 6-2, dropping a set for the first time in Melbourne this year.
He lost the first five games in only 16 minutes but bounced back to convert five out of 13 break points.
The 22-year-old will face Rafael Nadal or Dominic Thiem in the last four.

Top universities in England have been told to significantly increase places for disadvantaged youngsters.
The university watchdog, the Office for Students, wants the "access gap" between wealthier and poorer students to be halved in five years.
Young people from affluent areas are six times more likely to get places at the most selective universities.
Surely Bales it should be equal opportunity not equal outcome?
Charlton can settle for a draw on Saturday and still be six points ahead of us, but with that comfort blanket I expect them to win. As for the Wednesday game, if ever a team was equipped to beat us - despite probably being a poorer footballing side - it is the Fowls If you see odds against for Wednesday in that game my advice is take them.
