Why shouldn't his tenure status be reviewed?
Because he is simply expressing an unpopular opinion. The idea in
western culture is that we don't dick people over for their
opinions. That behavior we leave to non-western cultures.
It's one thing to have an opinion. No one is going to be worried about
some wacko comparing the victims of 9/11 to the Nazis. Hell, there's a
nut on every street corner nowadays.
There is one Chalmers Johnson, whom I never heard of before today:

In checking out Ward Churchill, his name came up, not as a wacko, but as
someone who basically warned of a 911-like scenario...in a book "Blowback"
published in 2000...
This interview, January 2004:

brings up some interesting "opinion" about the direction of US policy, no
matter which party is in power.
Beware it is 58 minutes long, but it is an opinion that may be worth
hearing, even if you eventually wish to dismiss it.
