A tenured Michigan university professor has been placed on leave after he told students in a profanity-laced video that he didn't want to know anything about them because they were 'just vectors of disease.'
Barry Mehler, 74, a tenured history professor at Ferris State University in Big Rapids, Michigan, posted the 14-minute video on Sunday, a day before the Spring 2022 semester began.
In the video, he told students that it didn't matter how hard they worked in his class because he randomly predetermined their grades prior to the semester.
'None of you… are good enough to earn an A in my class,' Mehler said. 'So I randomly assign grades before the first day of class. I don't want to know anything about you. I don't even want to know your name. I just look at the number and I assign a grade. That is how predestination works...
'And don't come… complaining to me. Take your complaints to God.'
Mehler has been teaching at Ferris for nearly 30 years in the humanities department and is the director of the university's Institute for the Study of Academic Racism, according to his bio on the university's website that has since been deleted.
Mehler introduced himself at the beginning of the video wearing what he described as a helmet equipped with filters to protect him from the coronavirus.
'I will not take questions in class because I'm wearing this... helmet in order to stay alive,' he said.
Mehler is one of many professors who has expressed concern about returning to in-person learning during the pandemic.

“Mehler has been teaching at Ferris for nearly 30 years”
He needs retirement and a big bowl of fentanyl.
We have clearance Clarance.
Roger.
What?
Made me smile. :)
You have got to watch the entire video on utube as posted earlier. It presents a totally different picture compared to what the MSM says. It’s more like something from the Babylon Bee. He pretty much tells the university administration to go F themselves, discusses plagiarism, and provides a brief history of “justice”.
Looks like Fauci to me.
It does. It should become a meme.
Ha ha!
Coming down with Joementia?
If you check his reviews at Rate My Professor, he had his student admirers.
Did you go for automotive or pharmacy?
This fool shows the downside of tenure. At some point the administration needs to fire this guy for failure to meet standards. I was blessed with a great Ph.D. advisor who taught me how to do good research. These students deserve better!
It must be horrible to live in such fear.
Proverbs 9:10
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
Those that live in fear of dying do not have a solid faith in where they are going next.
The old liberal fools are the most annoying.
At least the young ones are mainly ignorant because of their youth.
