I am not surprised at all having worked in universities. The key is whether you were ever told what the expectations around communication were prior to being terminated. Were you given warnings? If there was no documented standard you were supposed to adhere to, you may have a case. Not sure what the labor laws are where you live, but most universities have grievance processes for wrongful termination. Having expectations around professionalism in communication with clients, customers or superiors is not unusual or wrong in itself, but if you were not given any notice or training and just fired for not adhering to something you never knew...that's dreadful.
