Hillary Clinton is testing the waters on a return to academia.
The former U.S. Secretary of State and presidential nominee is in talks with Columbia University to take on a formal role at the Ivy League — and potentially house her archives there, multiple sources told the Daily News.
One option under discussion is an esteemed “University Professor” role that would allow Clinton to lecture across a range of schools and departments without the requirement of a strict course load, one source said.
A former law professor, Clinton could maintain the vaunted but vague role indefinitely or decide at a later date she wants to settle at Columbia's celebrated law school or maybe the School of International and Public Affairs, the source said.
“It's all fluid. It could be a number of things. No decisions have been made, but there are talks,” a different source with knowledge of Clinton's thinking told The News.
“She's trying to figure out what she wants to do. It could end up with the papers at one place and she has some sort of faculty role at another. She hasn't quite come to a decision,” the source said.
Clinton won the popular vote in the 2016 presidential election but lost the White House to Donald Trump.
Her third memoir, “What Happened,” was published last month and dissects the brutal defeat in detail.
A book tour for the 469-page tome is expected to last through the end of the year.
It's not clear when Clinton might make a decision related to Columbia, but the source with knowledge of her thinking suggested it would be a matter of months, not years.
“I don't think it will be two years from now. She gave birth to this book last month. She's trying to get through that. But it will be a short time table,” the source said.
A university spokesman declined to comment Thursday.
A top professor also deflected.
“It is premature for me to comment on this,” Kenneth Prewitt, the Carnegie Professor of Public Affairs and Director of the Future of Scholarly Knowledge Project, said in an email to The News.
Talk about a nightmare, imagine walking into a class and seeing HRC standing there. I shudder.
Columbia— home of Cloward-Piven, home of Obama. Perfect.
Better she lecture (or should I say harangue) a class of 30 than a nation of 300 million.
Not to worry.
The chances of her actually working a slim and none.
It’s a payoff.
Are they bribing her not to run again??
Inflicting her on these students is child abuse.
what will she teach? how to be above the law?

Someone once said, Those that can do, those that cannot teach.”
Columbia is where an ardently feminist undergrad was carrying around a mattress for months to protest “rape culture” after what was concluded to be a consensual encounter (no charges brought etc.) — now it will host one of the all-time top enablers of terrible male behavior. I wonder what Columbia “feminists” will think of Hillary Clinton as an esteemed “University Professor” (their highest rank, with no specific teaching obligations).
Amazing—and it’s in NYC!
Sounds like PIAPS gets to run off at the mouth but doesn’t actually have to teach anyone or accomplish anything. Right up her ally...
The colleges really want people like her: America-hating marxists who can’t teach. A waste of money for the students’ parents.
Imagine the classes she could teach.

Well, she does have the low standards and low qualifications required for “professors” these days. Being an America-hating, commie lib doesn’t hurt either.
