> How is such a ban going to be effective?
It trashes University of Minnesota in the press. What is going to happen is that the president of the university now is going to hear about it, so will the provost and so will people in charge of doling money. That will rapidly fix the professor problem.
While people may think that tenure professors get to do what they want, they never win in a war with a president and a provost. That professor is toast. And so are his researchers
The professor's site says that he is an assistant professor, i.e., he doesn't actually have tenure yet.
Well his career is over. He's now unemployable in academia.
Oh no, now he'll just have to make twice the salary in private industry. We really stuck it to him.
