It's hard to say that these people don't have the conviction to stand by their ideas. They are losing the right to speak in front of others because they are standing by their ideas.

They have also communicated this to the professor and he allowed me to share their conclusion with you. >To be clear, Professor Patton was never suspended nor did his status at Marshall change. He is currently teaching in Marshall’s EMBA program and he will continue his regular teaching schedule next semester. Seems to me there has been some misinformation in this matter. The professor ended up getting paid holiday if anything.
