FSU defends it's decision to suspend Professor; hearing set for March

Posted About Five Years Ago by steve gove

Ferris State University is defending its decision to suspend a professor over a profanity filled video.

Administrators say the unusual welcome message made for Barry Mehler's history students isn't protected by the First Amendment. Attorneys for Ferris State say some students quit Barry Mehler's classes because of his remarks.

The 74-year old professor was suspended with pay in January and told he was being investigated for violation of campus policies.

Mehler responded with a lawsuit. A hearing is scheduled for March 7th.
