There’s two bits that concerns me about this article, taking his statement at face value. One is the lack of transparency. Honestly, the guy sounds like an arsehole, but even arseholes should be treated fairly. “Quit or we’ll fire you” when you won’t even explain why is definitely outside the realm of fairness. Second is the theatre. There’s a whole range of ways they could get him to meet the dean. You could email him asking to schedule a meeting, or at the other end of the spectrum, you could politely ask him to come with you at the end of the lecture. Unless they expected some harm to come from letting him complete his lecture, sending campus police into a classroom and interrupting a lecture to escort him away serves no purpose other than humiliating him.
