Why kept on the fellow list? Think of it as ‘once a fellow always a fellow.’ At my college anyone who donated $5,000 to it over a 5 year period was named a “Fellow of” the college and was permanently on the list, even if they never donated any more money. Think of it as the institution wanting to gain from the prestige it thinks it will get when a low level fellow today, become a high level person in the future.
I’ll have to read it again, but I got the impression he actually participated, not just a fellow on the list.
Outgoing National Security Advisor Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster served for more than a decade as a consultant to the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies, a foreign-based think-tank that has received funding from hostile foreign governments to include Russia and China, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation.
The career soldier ended his employment at the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) in February 2017 after President Donald Trump tapped him to serve as his national security adviser following the resignation of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.
Yes, it does give that impression. So are you sure he was just a "fellow on the list", or guessing?
