A Michigan college professor who was suspended in January for making a profanity-filled video to welcome students settled his legal dispute with his university by accepting $95,000 and agreeing to a three-year gag order.
As part of the deal, Barry Mehler retired from Ferris State University rather than face possible termination after a judge refused to reinstate him last spring, according to a March document released to The Associated Press under a public records request.
Mehler, 75, and the university agreed not to criticize each other. If the professor speaks out over the next three years, he must pay $60,000.

A single moment captured by an Army photographer became the most enduring image of America's greatest military operation.
