Cancelation. It's no vacation.
As an alum, not a big fan of his leadership of Stanford…but, then again, I would not find any person capable of getting the job in this era to be aligned with my thoughts and values.
Yet this seems like a very heavy-handed response to a conclusion that he committed no actual misconduct.
University of Michigan fired their president a year or two ago in a very vicious way (published his personal e-mails) for having some sort of consensual extramarital relationship with a staff member.
Let's face it…these positions require "virtue signaling" to the highest degree imaginable.
Is anyone who is actually qualified to lead such an organization that type of saint?

If they're human, no.
