So many outrageous things in that video... Tenure or not, is he seriously going give his students random final grades even before the first day of class (as he put it, "predestination")? Surely the school won't allow him to do this

No, he's not. He was just trying to be outrageous to wake his students up. I don't understand how this is all seemingly so cryptic to everyone?

Maybe you should read the article. It's specified in there.

Apparently a lot of bible thumpers go to that school and he's probably heard the predestination argument w.r.t. Covid & dying far too often. Him saying grades are predetermined is another way of challenging that viewpoint. The grades won't (or shouldn't) be assigned randomly

Later he goes on to explain how you can get an A from remote-friendly materials too. While it's preposterous on the face of it, it's not even completely satirical since he goes on to explain the actual "rules" later for anything he "prescribes" early on.
