This is a classic case of why the tenure law doesn’t work. The only reason he was allowed to continue to teach was because of the tenure rule. ...
"Tenure basically guarantees that the faculty member can continue to work at a university, unless he or she does something absolutely terrible," said Bruce Bursten, OSU (Ohio State University) professor and chemistrys department chair.

Administration is discouraged from firing anyone who gains the privilege of having tenure because of the long drawn out process it takes to get someone fired. ... The government should ease up on the tenure law and make it easier for a teacher to be fired. ...
