Whether one believes this theory or not is immaterial.

He has the right to believe in whatever he so desires, he also has the right to write down his beliefs, assuming he can either publish or get someone else to publish his writings, he also has that as his right.

So what gives his employer the right to place him on paid leave while it considers the reaction to that which he believes?

He is not attempting to indoctrinate his students.

You need to fix your link, because the current link takes you to KSL's home page, not to a specific story.

This has nothing to do with free speech. The university, not the government, is putting him on paid leave. his research isnt even being censored.

The university is concerned about the fact that his research and publications do not meet the standards for scholarly work. That's a very very bad thing for someone who was previously considered a decent scholar.

You don't think that the university is warranted in conducting a review of a position if for any reason, the work of a professor becomes so shoddy that no respected publications will accept it and the professors reputation becomes tarnished? I would be pissed if the university didn't meet its obligations to its students by doing so.
