Firing faculty is oddly difficult, but I do expect they'll take at least some actions

He is an adjunct that just trashed university's reputation. I'm sure it would even fall into firing for cause

Adjuncts don't have Ph.D students.

He is not tenured and until he is he is basically an adjunct.

No, that's not how this works. Tenure track faculty have way more job security

I'm going to say that the odds are that the faculty member in question is not going to be a faculty member anymore especially if the ban remains in place as the said faculty member probably at best fibbed the leadership before about his research.
