Conspiracy nut's lawsuit against Florida Atlantic University goes forward

I only just caught up with this case, which we first noted more than a year ago.  Because the university took the lazy approach to getting rid of this character, they are almost surely going to lose in court, as they should.   They ought to rescind the firing, reinstate him, and then initiate a careful review of his academic competence, with a fair process.  I don't know what the professional standards are in the field of communications, but surely there is a case to be made that he has failed to live up to them.  If he hasn't, then the whole field should be removed from the universities.
