I can't speak to their situation but here there are two issues involved here, it seems to me. The first being the grade. The student get's an F on the assignment and, if the faculty judges them to have violated the honor code (usually so) they then refer it to the honor council. (If the assignment grade is significant enough, the student would also flunk the course). The faculty member does have the right to remove the student from the course with a grade of F in certain egregious cases. But publishing such before the due process in our honor code would be a violation for the faculty member. I don't think it would rise to the level of a dismissal for a tenure track or tenured faculty but I could see that happening in a similar situation with an adjunct. Seems both parties are behaving a bit immaturely, imho. I don't personally see the value in humiliation and infantilizing the students.
