Seems slanted (like most media these days), but has interesting tidbits:

The site is based on ArcGIS, and Jones' PhD is in geography.

The claim is that the "state's official epidemiologist" asked for data export to be disabled until they verified the dates in the data.

According to the administration, she was fired for "a repeated course of insubordination".

Perhaps most intriguingly, she was previously arrested for battery on a police officer and resisting arrest at LSU. She had also been previously charged with three felonies, including robbery, and a misdemeanor case of "sexual cyberstalking".

I hope other sources will chase down that last bit, but if it holds up, it would seem to support the idea that she decided to (figuratively) set everything on fire on her way out.
