Former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is taking on a new role in education, less than a month after she left office.
Beginning this fall, Lightfoot will teach a course at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health tentatively titled "Health Policy and Leadership," according to an announcement from the school.
Lightfoot, who left office on May 15 after losing re-election, will serve as the Richard L. and Ronay A. Menschel Senior Leadership Fellow at the school beginning at the end of August.
The Menschel program, according to the school, "offers a rare opportunity for those who have recently served in top-level positions in government, multilateral institutions, nonprofit organizations and journalism to spend time at the school mentoring and teaching students who aspire to similar roles. Lightfoot will hold regular office hours to meet with students, faculty and staff during her time on campus."
"As mayor, she showed strong leadership in advocating for health, equity, and dignity for every resident of Chicago, from her declaration of structural racism as a public health crisis to her innovative initiative to bring mental health services to libraries and shelters. And of course, she led the city through the COVID-19 pandemic," said Michelle A. Williams, dean of faculty at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, according to CBS News.
Lightfoot celebrated the news on Twitter, writing, "I've always loved teaching, and the opportunity to get back to it is something I am excited about. Looking forward to sharing the experiences and perceptions I learned governing through one of the most challenging times in American history with the @HarvardChanSPH community!"
Previous Menschel fellows, according to the Chicago Sun-Times, have included several former mayors and governors. Former New York Mayor Bill de Blasio and former Boston Mayor Kim Janey have both served as Menschel fellows.

Harvard beclowns itself once again. It has truly become a national embarrassment and is truly exceeded by numerous state and land grant colleges and universities.
Her class is called “How to Turn a Beautiful City Into Gary, Indiana.”
The university teaching tradition owes much to Socrates who stood above rows of his students sitting on the steps in Athens, learning philosophy from him.
Lori will revive that. 😄
Tuition and fees $59,950 not counting housing, books and other expenses.
She’s a bungler! This is more proof that they will never stop their identity crap.
Aspiring to similar roles? Like getting hundreds of her citizens murdered and thousands wounded/injured?
Yep. Go to this Harvard shithole school program and earn a degree in how to destroy your country. Communism and insanity are alive, well and in control there.
Marx, Gramsci, Alinsky and Obama are grinning like a Cheshire cat in heat.
Along with Yale, Columbia university and Princeton!
She has nothing to teach other than how to be an incompetent, useless mayor.
And a poor excuse for a woman, if she’s even a real woman!
No student who is male, white or conservative should have to take any class ‘taught’ by Ms Lightfoot. She is known to be prejudiced.
I predict she will have graduate student interns doing most of the teaching and grading anyway.
How could I forget that she is married to a woman? Who knows what gender she is.
Gee Harvard what’s next? Maybe Karl Otto Koch offering a course in Jewish history?
Yessir...
“Them as does, does. Them as cain’t, teaches.”
Harvard will list her as an Indian woman, of course.
Thus proving the old adage, ‘those who can’t do, teach’.
It is not just book deals the Democrats use to launder bribes. University appointments work fine as well.
Just think of all the great stuff college students can learn from her. What a treat it will be.
The Nuns who taught me would have Lori begging for respite from studying, listening to knowledgeable teachers, learning the wonderful accomplishments of those who have gone before us.
BUT no, they can learn how to be an idiot and still become a Mayor of a big city.
“Groot Goes To College”.
