I should have noted the link on Gabrielle Stryker's website to publications. In addition to the small number of publications that are indexed on PubMed, which is the natural place to look for publications by a biologist, there are several publications listed in IEEE venues that are apparently not indexed by NLM.

Several years ago when I chaired a search committee, I was fortunate to have a colleague from Computer Science as an outside member. She explained the difference between the academic subcultures in Engineering and Biology/Biochemistry with respect to publications in conference proceedings. For biologists, a cv rich in proceedings is padded, because they're generally not peer-reviewed. In engineering it seems that they are, and often conference proceedings have lower acceptance rates than journals. A provost is supposed to know this.
In comments to a new post at UD, coauthor Barbara Oakley writes:
I did a great deal of research with Dr. Stryker, and I can assure you that she more than pulled her own weight, and she is an excellent researcher. Interestingly, when I spoke up for Dr. Stryker at her arbitration hearing, the Provost passed his lawyer a note, subsequent to which I was asked whether Dr. Stryker's and my joint conference papers were published by the conference only because I was a Vice President of the Society (the society in question is the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society--the largest bioengineering society in the world). The lawyer then insinuated that I had somehow pulled rank and gotten my papers accepted because I'd reviewed them myself. This is a shocking charge to level at any academic. In reality, all papers are anonymously reviewed for the EMBS conferences, and the system is set up so that no person can ever review themselves--*and* an author has no choice of reviewers for their own papers. What's worse is--I myself had gone up for tenure the year before, being judged on many of the same joint papers, and the Provost did not ask *any* of these questions or make any such bizarre insinuation--my tenure was simply approved. The fact that I was a Vice President of the EMB Society was commented on favorably. All of these factors contribute to why I feel very certain that Dr. Stryker was singled out for very different treatment than other professors going up for tenure.
And at Inside Higher Ed she adds:
You all might also be interested to know that this past year, a professor came up for tenure with no publications whatsoever, no grant monies, and a unanimous vote against by the department.
The Provost gave this professor tenure.
Biology prof Fay Hanson is quoted as saying that no one has ever been denied tenure in the department since she's been there. The grant mentioned in the coverage appears to be this one (see also: here).
