Wesley K. Clark, a former NATO commander and 2004 Democratic presidential candidate, will join UCLA this fall as a senior fellow, university officials plan to announce today.
Clark, who is expected to arrive on campus about Oct. 1, will teach occasional seminars, publish policy papers and organize and hold an annual conference on national security, officials said.
He will be affiliated with the university's Ronald W. Burkle Center for International Relations.
The retired Army general's wide-ranging military, political and teaching background will serve UCLA and its students well, said Patricia O'Brien, executive dean of the university's College of Letters and Science.
"I am especially pleased that our students at UCLA will benefit from Gen. Clark's extraordinary experience, as well as his dynamic leadership and teaching credentials," O'Brien said in a statement.

"I'll be looking at U.S. national security in the broadest terms, including military, diplomatic, energy, environmental and trade issues," said Clark, who served as NATO's commander during the 1999 Kosovo conflict. "There's never been a time in American history when Americans have been more impacted by events abroad, and we need a strategy that touches all those areas."

Is this so he can get dates?
Another reason to attend USC.
Go Trojans! Fight On!
The collective IQ at UCLA just dropped 10 points
then he should have accepted a fellowship at Boys Town....
This is worse than anything D'Sousa mentioned in "Illiberal Education".
Gee, they forgot to mention he was relieved of that command. Oops, according to him he just retired early. When Cwissy asked him that on Hardball it was a momentous moment.
He and Ward Churchill will share notes in their little academic cabal.
The perfumed prince clark (lower case out of disrespect) will fit right in there.

UCLA deserves him.
Wonder if he will be discussing his involvement with the massacre at WACO
I'd heard General Clark wasn't interested in women anyway.
That explains a lot!
Wesley (how manly a name is that?) was referred to by his senior staff as the "Supreme Being" (for you non-military types, a word play on the title of Supreme Commander NATO--another grandiloquent vanity in itself). Enormous ego inflating an empty suit, needful of power and obeisance above all else, a Caligula lacking only the perverse desires of his predecessor.
Clark is a turncoat, backstabber, prevaricator (liar) and operates in a black hole of self-importance (only eclipsed by Richard Clark), and mendacity only eclipsed by Sandy Berger. He would do his mother if it served his purpose.
