According to her LinkedIn, she is still employed by the University of Missouri, where she taught literature and geography, however in a statement to ABC 45, the school says she is retired. Nevertheless, they called the statement “deeply offensive” and not a reflection of the institution’s values:

“The University of Missouri extends its sympathies to all those affected by the wildfires in California. We find the statement by Karen Piper — a retired professor — to be deeply offensive, and it does not reflect the university’s viewpoint or values. We are reviewing this matter.”
