Ferris State Professor on Leave After Posting Profanity-Laced Video to Students Online

Ferris State issued the following statement Thursday:

Ferris State University is aware of a course video distributed to students, in early January, by a faculty member, believed to be Professor Barry Mehler. The faculty member has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of an investigation.

Ferris State President David Eisler also released a statement, saying:

“I was shocked and appalled by this video. It is profane, offensive and disturbing and in no way reflects our University or its values.

Mehler has been a professor at the Big Rapids university since 1988. His bio on Ferris State’s website has been removed.

Mehler will stay on administrative leave pending the outcome of an investigation.
