He can go for early retirement, a year of unpaid vacation, or sick leave (for his anxiety that makes it impossible to work clearly). He has a work dispute and he is taking it out on his students, instead of solving that dispute or walking away.

He seems to be solving the work dispute just fine to me. It's the university that has an obligation to students, not individual university employees.

He got suspended so I guess he solved it. Not in his own favor though.

It was in his favour. He was suspended with pay.

He also avoided catching and dying of Covid, so the university will still have to pay him his pension.
