It's interesting that Tessier-Levigne will still be a professor in the Biology department. He is carrying some baggage. I wonder if he's going to resume teaching? Or maybe he will leave Stanford when he can find another position?

It is interesting. Perhaps a soft landing on his part. I didn't read if there would be a sabbatical first. That sabbatical might become quietly permanent. Back in the '80s the civil engineering department had "professors" on the roster that might as well have been ghosts. From the University side, would his acts be considered reasons for terminating (I assume) a tenured professor?  The acts were committed before his arrival and (again assumed) tenure. I don't know enough about the neurological science industry to know if he is damaged goods.  He's not old, but he probably has millions socked away and is old enough to retire.

the only tenured professor I'm aware of who in "recent" history was fired is Bruce Franklin in 1972 for "inciting student disruptions"
