Most great scientists initially have fringe views that eventually become undergraduate textbook stuff.
That doesn't mean that everyone with fringe views is a great scientist, of course.
But I don't see why that would disqualify him.

Otherwise, I have no background or in fact interest about whether or not Steve Hsu was a good VP of research and innovation. The reason given for why he's being fired for this position has nothing to do with his performance, good or bad, and has everything to do with his research. Since he his tenured, they can't fire him for his research, so they found an other way to punish him. That's low.
