    Dr. Peter Ridd of James Cook University, Australia, sued and won a case of his firing from JCU for vague "not being collegiate and respectful of his fellow colleagues" cause for dismissal wording. That is, while not exactly identical to your UA situation, there are parallels. See: https://wattsupwiththat.com/2019/06/20/dr-peter-ridd-on-the-free-speech-crisis-at-universities/
