Did you read the article? It’s obvious what her needs were (see no parenthesis needed), they didn’t meet them so she bowed out. Should she take a deal that’s bad for her because in your mind she doesn’t “need” it?
would you take any job offered as long as it’s above the poverty line, or do you have compensation standards based on the job market and your experience?
Do you think celebrities with all the perks they have really get to be applauded for standing up for themselves when a teacher doesn’t have that kind of privilege?
The solution is not to drag everyone down. Teachers deserve to get paid more but their pay comes mostly from local property taxes instead of a trillion dollar company that owns a third of all media.
When you’re at the top of your craft, you should know your worth, and when someone else doesn’t. A corollary to this is that your should not tolerate when someone doesn’t recognize your worth.
I wonder how much she “needed” and how much they offered. I bet whatever it was, she doesn’t live anywhere near the poverty line.
Edit: Why all the downvotes?
The c-suite execs making the payments aren’t anywhere near the poverty line either.
Perhaps none of them should be this far above the poverty line? (Big disclaimer, I didn’t read the article.)

That’s why you got downvoted.

This is a relative privation argument. Just because other people are less privileged than Claudia Black doesn’t mean she should be a Disney doormat.
Really sorry about the multipost. Don’t know how that happened. Sorry to blow up your mailbox and again with this message.
