While the kid didn't do anything legally wrong I don't think (insofar as I know, face-to-face conversations can be secretly recorded by either party with no infringement on the tapee's rights in all 50 states - NOT the case with phone calls, though), it did violate scholastic ethics, as you're always supposed to get the professor's permission to tape him before taping any lecture he may give.
The kid may face expulsion. The professor may face being fired. But legally, I don't think anything wrong went down here... and if the executive or courts differ in that opinion, then perhaps the teacher had a point in some people feeling the US moving toward fascism after all.
