Troubling allegations for many reasons. It seems incompatible with a normal understanding of academic freedom to remove someone from a post. It also seems like this use of funds (which I believe would be taxpayer money) is not in line with the aims of this non-profit/charity.

The university is largely funded by taxpayers for educational purposes, not religious ones. Removing someone for views seems in tension with that. And I don’t see what legit educational purpose is served by paying lawfirms to conduct mole hunts in the wake of public relations scandals.
