Well I think he received tenure, and there's no easy way to void that. But I think in other cases with academics when it comes to light that they've misrepresented themselves or plagiarized, they get dumped pretty quickly.
But the Churchill situation is different because of his other statements unrelated to his actual "scholarship" such as it was. The fact that he's a household name with all of us changes the circumstances too. He's also shameless about his errors in the past in a way that seems exceptional. (I don't think it's typical that most people would even fight; they'd hope to go quietly and be employable elsewhere. None of that applies with Churchill.)
I think the university and the board of regents did the right thing to do things very carefully, but it's still surprising that it took this long to resolve.
