Bandy X. Lee, MD, MDiv is well known among those who follow books, articles, and television coverage of how Donald Trump's psychopathology makes him, as the book she edited proclaims him, a dangerous case.
She is currently in the news.

Now some 10 months later the case has been adjudicated. This is the legal result as reported in The Yale Daily News:
Bandy Lee complaint dismissed by federal judge; Lee says she will appeal “I won’t stop,” said the psychiatrist, who had alleged wrongful firing over tweets about Alan Dershowitz and tied her case to broader issues of academic freedom.
This was reported, I suspect with some satisfaction, on Rupert Murdoch's NY Post as follows: UPDATE: I missed the obvious which the first commenter alk9090 noticed right off. The NY Post misspelled Dr. Lee’s first name! One aspect of her association with Yale which has been reported I wasn't aware of. I thought she was a regular paid member of their faculty working at least as an adjunct professor not on the tenure track. I don't know if she had a formal teaching role but this was reported: The reason the school said she was eventually let go was due to lack of a formal teaching role, the New Haven Register reported. Importantly, Lee responded to this in this tweet:
(a) 80-90% medical faculty are voluntary; and (b) “no teaching role” was decided on after firing, not before.
It was reported in The Hartford Courant (subscription required) but referenced by the NY Post:
While Lee wasn’t paid, she claimed the Yale gig was worth potentially tens of thousands of dollars in perks and exposure that allowed her to consult globally, the Courant reported.
It took one day for Wikipedia to update their entry on her:
In 2020, Yale University did not renew Lee's volunteer position for breaking the Goldwater rule in her evaluations of Trump.[13] Lee sued Yale for violating her academic freedom,[14] but the suit was dismissed in August 2022
