So from the beginning, the professor has to make things perfectly clear.

Absolutely. I don't know if it's a requirement by law, but here the
administration requires the professors/instructors to go over the syllabus the first day of classes for just that reason.
I'm with jorgelito, I think you may be jumping the gun a bit. All that's sure is that he called you later than you like, which is irritating, but hardly anything you need to flex anything about. While we're on the subject, what do you think going dean/chair/advisor/whoever-this-eventually-gets-to is going to do? Do you think they're going to side with you--at student on his way out the door--or a work colleague--that they could be stuck with for years and years?
I'd just talk to the guy and tell him the easiest way to get in touch is via e-mail rather than the phone. I use that excuse for everybody I don't want calling me on the phone, hasn't let me down yet.
