PHILADELPHIA -- The University of Delaware is cutting ties with a professor over comments she reportedly made on social media about Otto Warmbier, CBS Philadelphia reports.

The university announced the adjunct anthropology faculty member, Katherine Dettwyler, would not be rehired to teach in the future. She had last taught a course in the spring.

In a written statement, school officials said: "The comments of Katherine Dettwyler do not reflect the values or position of the University of Delaware. We condemn any and all messages that endorse hatred and convey insensitivity toward a tragic event such as the one that Otto Warmbier and his family suffered. The University of Delaware values respect and civility and we are committed to global education and study abroad; therefore, we find these comments particularly distressing and inconsistent with our values. Our sympathies are with the Warmbier family."

In a now deleted Facebook post, Dettwyler reportedly wrote in part that Warmbier "got exactly what he deserved." She continued by saying that Warmbier was "typical of a mindset a lot of the young, white, rich, clueless males" she teaches.(snip)

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Good. F

What I expected from U of D, I thought they would just obfuscate and hope “it” will all just go away, you know, short attention span.

Remember this is the University that requires entrance brainwashing program for their students.

The best part is yet to come — we’ll see some social media post by this clown crying about how she’s being oppressed by Trump or conservatives, etc.

Good. Katherine Dettwyler and that outrageous Black Lives Matter professor, Lisa Durden, who appeared on Tucker’s show are now out of their teaching jobs, and it’s a good riddance. Make sure the university your child attends does not employ them next fall.

“Colleges’ don’t have forever to ‘get it together’ before we call for massive cuts in funding. Lovelife education factories are ripe for reform...

This carpet muncher will go on to great heights in the democrat party, based on her hatred for normal people. I can only hope she gets to go to North Korea, and comes back to tell us what it’s like.

I would not go to Baltimore, Detroit or EAST LA, let alone to visit the NORKS. We, after over 50 years, are still at WAR with them.
