This story has been updated with a statement from the university. A longer video of the class interaction has been added to the story.

Joel Poor, the business professor who was relieved of his teaching duties after an improper comment, remains an MU employee, said Christian Basi, spokesperson for the university.

On Monday morning, Poor, MU associate teaching professor at the Trulaske College of Business, made what some are calling a racist and xenophobic comment during the first day of his upper level marketing class.
