Experience has shown that those in "professional" positions who go and do something as brilliant as this, usually have their careers ended abruptly. I was going to make a note to check on this guy again in a couple of days to see if that's the case, but as you have confirmed his profile already appears to have gone missing from the U of A website, he seems to be a self-correcting problem. At least one can hope so.
The rationale behind severing ties with such an individual is that it is economic suicide to be publicly associated with a “loose cannon.” There are enough ways to generate unfavorable publicity. Why tempt fate?
