Mehler, 75, also agreed to retire from the school instead of face termination. He taught history at Ferris State for decades.
The professor was placed on paid leave in January for telling students in a video that "civilization is collapsing" and "life on your planet is going extinct," before telling students that they are "vectors of disease."
