UCLA, the entity he is suing, reinstated him without any consequences within 3 weeks.
I’ve personally been suspended for a lot less (actually, for being the victim) in a college setting.
UCLA acted against him - by irresponsibility suspending him for issues regarding supposed racial insensitivity, which were without merit.
His suspension caused him to lose revenue, hence the problem.
The suspension could be a form of libel i.e. false information published about him, causing him damages.
I should add that it's obviously more complicated if he's 'cleared' of something but the libelous damanges linger anyhow.
