Except for one problem: Sternberg didn't lose his job. Yes, lots of nasty email about him was sent by his peers because of things he'd done (publishing without process, mishandling of SI artifacts, etc.), but they never led to a dismissal.
He lost his RA position despite the SI confirmation to the congressional committee that he was an RA in good standing. He was given an RC position. I consider that losing his job especially in light of emails indicating directly that SI did what you seem to think Baylor did, something underhanded.
