A Michigan professor has quit his job after previously being suspended for posting a profanity-filled video.

Ferris State professor Barry Mehler has decided to retire rather than face possible termination after he posted a 14-minute video in January that included profanities and sexual references as he ranted about his attendance policy, grades, plagiarism, and COVID-19.

The video has received over half-a-million views on YouTube. Mehler agreed to retire as part of a legal settlement with the university.

He also accepted $95,000 and agreed to a three-year gag order.
