If he resigns, he is given a nice settlement to coast into retirement with. The humiliation only lasts two weeks. The settlement will last the next 15-20 years.

It's not a hard choice. If you are a university president to begin with you are a completely craven opportunist, so everyone knows how these things will play out.
