Some goons overreact. Go figure.

Low self-esteem

I don't think it's necessarily a low self-esteem thing. Without getting too ancedotey, I know from personal experience that many women tend to stress and fret about doing things like this (essentially, rejection) and really weigh up the pros and cons and still move slowly for a number of reasons. I'm not saying "it's all the *~patriarchy's~* fault that she's reluctant to let this student go", but in my experience, men and women absolutely think and go about rejection differently (in a professional or personal, e.g. dating sense), and some women really struggle with rejecting people in any way, shape or form. I don't know her so don't know anything about her self-esteem one way or the other, but it's an alternate perspective that might be relevant.
