I tend to agree that paying him off is absolutely wrong, but by getting rid of they deprive him of what he craves the most. A forum to spew his anti-American nonsense. It's almost worth it from their standpoint. They're taking away his platform inside the classroom.
However, I'd still like them to go after him legally and proof what a fraud he is in a VERY PUBLIC way. THAT would serve as a warning to all of the other liberal college professors in the country who are using public funds to pervert and subvert our nation's young people under the guise of "education".
At every industry job I've ever held, a mis-representation, or outright lie, discovered after my hire date would have been cause for *immediate* termination.
Period. No buy out. No fringe benefits. Nada.
I can't understand why gov't or academic types seem to get a pass courtesy of the double standard.
I agree with your later point that a PUBLIC accounting of his fraud would be a good step. But, I think that that, too, will be swept under the rug.
And I hate to see him walk away with all the tax-paid bucks to boot.
