What you describe is exactly how it should be and is considered best practice in education.
Not a contract, but the terms and expectations of the class set out as clearly as possible in advance.
In this case, this has failed. The professor has then tried to punish all the students on his own whim, presumably because of the actions of a minority.
What about the other students: those who didn't cheat, those who didn't spread rumours, those who didn't contribute to an unsafe atmosphere, and those who met the educational goals of the class? There's no possible way the whole class deserves a blanket fail. Thankfully the faculty realise this.

There's no possible way the whole class deserves a blanket fail. As a faculty member, I can understand someone wanting to fail an entire class - some classes are just bad, and some students are bad people - but you just can't do it. If someone is disrupting the learning environment, they have to be removed. You're performing when you enter the classroom, and you have to deal with the hecklers and the critics.
