She was indeed and there seems to be evidence that Fudge was then 
setting out to discredit her....

>From the Daily Prophet lead story "Ministry seeks educational reform; 
Dolores Umbridge appointed first ever High Inqisitor"

and I quote:

'Wizengamot elders Griselda Marchbanks and Tiberius Ogden have 
resigned in protest at the introduction of the post of Inquisitor to 
Hogwarts.

"Hogwarts is a school, not an outpost of Cornelius Fudge's office," 
said Madam Marchbanks. "This is a further disgusting attempt to 
discredit Albus Dumbledore."

(For  a full account of Madam Marchbanks' alleged links to subversive 
goblin groups, turn to page seventeen.)'
