William "Reyn" Archer III

...has, it turns out a long history of jackassery. Way back in the 1990s, as Texas Health Commissioner, he was fired for "racially insensitive comments", caught on tape...

Archer can be heard referring several times to Montgomery's race and said, "you are fair (skinned) as a black woman, you get certain privileges in white culture that others don't get for that."

Archer can be heard making references to "lynching" and suggesting Montgomery used her brain to advance her career and "that's what white people do."

Before that he suggested hispanic teenagers want to be pregnant. This article summarizes his bizarre behavior in the job.

Ignoring all this, Fortenberry took this guy on as chief-of-staff. And now he's back threatening my UNL faculty colleague Ari Kohen for his private behavior, and even wasting the Chancellor's time compaining about his Facebook 'likes'. And obliquely threatening to set the internet dogs on him.

Archer is clearly a kook, and needs to go. Fortenberry loves him because he's an anti-abortion fanatic, But what does it say about Fortenberry' judgement, hiring this man, knowing of his lunatic past?

Amanda Gailey has a much more thorough look at William Rehn Archer III's bizarre little 'quirks' here, at Seeing Red.
