Ferris State University (in Michigan) has its own version of the Nutty Professor. Meet Barry Mehler who teaches taught something called Science and Racism (Must have something to do with intersectionality). He appeared on video "welcoming" his new students to his course. What followed was a profanity-laced discourse on anything and everything including what is now considered a hysterical old Camel cigarette ad. The university has now suspended Mehler. In fact, his bio page no longer appears on the university website.
Inside Higher Education has an article on the hijinks going on at FSU.

Even better, Campus Reform has the video. It lasts about 15 minutes, but it is well worth the time. Lots of chuckles. Viewer warning, however: Lots of naughty language.
