So wait, I have a question...
If Xavier was all fine and dandy all this time -- not dead or crippled or anything but just depowered -- why in the world didn't he give the X-Men a call? Why didn't he contact anyone? During a time when they needed him the most, he just went around hanging out in bars and sht?
It's never been stated, but it's not hard to assume that Xavier gave Scott legal responsibility for the institute when he went away; in Astonishing, Scott has to pay taxes and for the school so obviously he has at least some owner's privileges for the property. Just because you founded or created something doesn't mean that you own it forever; just ask Siegel and Shuster.
With his actions in Deadly Genesis, Xavier had betrayed the institute. He betrayed what he stood for and the very things he'd taught his students from day one. Even if Scott didn't have the legal backing to kick Xavier out, which is unlikely, he was completely justified morally and figuratively.
