Apparently, his contract was until just after the election. Regardless i f Trump won or lost, he would no longer be needed.
Atlas was put in place for political reasons to undermine the public health advice by scientists- and approved by the Whitehouse. Atlas gave Trump the "second" scientific viewpoint.
Standford should revoke any degrees that Scott Atlas obtained with them...
He should be called into court to explain why he was providing misinformation other than for his own financial gain.
Scott Atlas, the controversial coronavirus adviser who resigned Monday, had been repeatedly denounced by faculty at Stanford University for his “falsehoods and misrepresentations of science.”
Stanford is home to the conservative Hoover Institution, where Atlas is a fellow. He also used to teach at the university’s medical school.
In September, more than 100 faculty signed a letter saying Atlas’s “opinions and statements run counter to established science.
After Atlas announced his resignation on Monday night, faculty who signed the earlier letter said his resignation “is long overdue and underscores the triumph of science and truth over falsehoods and misinformation,” in a joint statement.
“His actions have undermined and threatened public health even as countless lives have been lost to COVID-19,” the statement said.
