That may be, perhaps, one of the most unprofessional correspondences that I have ever laid eyes upon. Regardless of the student's track record, a collegiate-level professor, let alone a program director, should not act in such a manner. I can understand his frustration with the quality of the student accepted into the program. However, his quarrel would be with the admissions department, not the student that has been accepted into the program. As distasteful as it may have been to him, he would have been personally served better had he simply accepted the late work, documented it, along with the other issues from the semester, and taken his case to the dean and the executive council in hopes to rectify the issue for future semesters. Instead, he acted rashly, giving the university a black eye. Since college education is a business, the university was placed in a position where it was impossible to keep him, and I can completely understand and sympathize with their decision.

If this letter is real, I wonder how a man, writing with such gramatical error, could have possibly landed this position in the first place. He must present one heck of an interview.
