Would you say Prasad’s public-health misconduct rises to the level where creating a statutory change to what permits firing under tenure makes sense?

  I would say that the US has had enough destruction of institutions and few enough institutional protections of individuals. I can dislike someone’s stance while at the same time recognizing that others benefit from the same protections. If protections are reduced, the process will be weaponized.

    > If protections are reduced, the process will be weaponized This is a valid concern. So is moral hazard from a lack of accountability. I’m trying to figure out how those balance.

      One way they should balance in a functioning society is that while tenure would protect you from negative repercussions within the walls of an academic institution, a Congress with any semblance of seriousness and care toward the American people would ensure you never set foot inside a policy-making institution.
