We had a guy nicknamed jellyfish. He was responsible for crafting a frontend to the university's remote education system in flex and connect it to flash media server. After six months of "coding", he was asked for a demo and all he did was to showcase one of the existing products. After getting fired, he sued the university and got back in to get a few more paychecks before leaving. He was excentric, drawing role playing swords and printing entire books that he never read.

How was he able to get back in ? The firing seems to have been fully motivated according to your story.

He managed to drag the case from court to court and it looked bad for PR.

It's a shame the lengths universities will go just to make sure they look good, even if that includes rehiring problematic employees.
