The University of Delaware has cut ties with an adjunct professor who suggested that Otto Warmbier, the American student whose death last week after being imprisoned in North Korea drew worldwide attention, was a ‘‘clueless white male’’ who ‘‘got exactly what he deserved.’’

Katherine Dettwyler, who taught in the anthropology department as recently as spring semester, ‘‘will not be rehired to teach at the University in the future,’’ the university said in a statement on Sunday. Her comments were posted at a time when she was not employed with the university and ‘‘in no way reflect the values or position of the University of Delaware,’’ the statement read.
