Amid speculation that she’s lining up an academic gig prior to a possible run for U.S. president, Hillary Clinton will be stopping by Yale.
The question is: Is it a one-day visit? Or the beginning of a new relationship?
The former secretary of the state and current front-running maybe-candidate for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination will deliver an address and receive an “award of merit” at the Yale Law School during the Oct. 4‑Oct. 6 alumni weekend. Clinton is a Yale law graduate.
She wasn’t originally scheduled to do that. Law school alumni received postcards this week announcing the sudden addition to the program. The law school then posted the information this weekend on its website.
That announced following the publication of this story in Politico, reporting that Clinton is in talks with Harvard, Yale, and several other universities about assuming some kind of academic post. Several of the schools have confirmed the talks; Yale spokesman Tom Conroy declined to.
