Michelle Herren used to be on the University of Colorado faculty, but the school seems to have decided to let her go.
UD kinda understands why, because Herren called Michelle Obama a ‘monkey-face’ and put it all over the web. Then when the university dumped her and also I guess when she started getting some… unfriendly feedback, she
… explained that her comments were taken out of context. [Also] she claimed that she had no knowledge that the phrase “monkey face” was an offensive term.
UD has explained endlessly on this blog how this happens so often at university medical schools. Universities have immense numbers of people vaguely affiliated with their medical faculties, and these people are rarely vetted in the ways other professors are vetted. They just show up with a white coat and start teaching. When you take many people on and do very little vetting, you can expect a few morons to slip through.

Three of our Podunk Tech’s nine trustees are medical doctors. Don’t know how that happened. I just don’t trust the opinions of medical doctors outside their specific vocational expertise.
