Joe Biden is now a Penn professor.

Penn officially announced on Tuesday what had been reported and rumored and talked about on an open mic by Biden himself: that the former vice president would join the faculty as the Benjamin Franklin Presidential Practice Professor and lead the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement, which will be located in Washington, D.C., and have an office on Penn’s campus.

“At Penn, I look forward to building on the work that has been a central pillar of my career in public office: promoting and protecting the post-WWII international order that keeps the United States safe and strong,” Biden said in a release. “The Penn Biden Center and I will be engaging with Penn’s wonderful students while partnering with its eminent faculty and global centers to convene world leaders, develop and advance smart policy, and impact the national debate about how America can continue to lead in the 21st Century.”

Biden’s spokesperson told the Inquirer he’ll also have a role at the University of Delaware, and isn’t sure how much time he’ll spend on campus.

I had to read carefully several times. That’s University of Pennsylvania. How low they go, all of them. The administrations are today cowards and corrupt. Muslim country gifts in the tens and hundreds of millions to the likes of Harvard, Columbia, etc. The Ivy League has become overgrown with weeds that choke out sunlight and let the parasitic clinging organisms take over their once hallowed walls.

A perfesser? That means he’ll have to publish stuff.

That didn’t work out so well for him last time.

He won’t have to do anything of substance. This is merely a way to fill his coffers with evermore money. The guy is a loon and buffoon.

Does Amtrak run between DC and State Collage, PA?
