He won't have to. He'll sue the school, and the Colorado taxpayers will have to pay.

This is such a high-profile case that I guarantee you that procedurally every "T" was crossed and every "I" dotted. CU knows that the probability of litigation and negative publicity is very high in this case, so they will proceed with extreme caution. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that a representative of CU's legal counsel was present at every meeting of the committee.
Churchill won't win the lottery with a lawsuit. Filing a lawsuit is most likely nothing more than a bargaining chip to get the best possible settlement. Some small settlement will be negotiated and CU will pay a year's salary or something like that to make this garbage go away. He won't win a mountain of money but will get something like a reasonable "severance" package, which is far more than he deserves.
