"SNIP.........

Former Vice President Joe Biden will be a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, the school announced Tuesday. Biden has been named the Benjamin Franklin Presidential Practice professor and will reportedly lead the university’s new Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement. The center will be based in Washington, D.C., but Biden will reportedly also have an office at the university’s home campus in Philadelphia.

1. Wonderful news--they are lucky to get him!

[drray23]

2. darn i need to go back to the university and sign up for his class .nt.

[Eliot Rosewater]

3. No silver spoon, no Wall Street execs funneling millions to him for making

changes that help billionaires and harm everyone else, so he has to work for a living.

[applegrove]

4. I'm sure he will write a book. I can hardly

wait until Obama writes a book too.

[Eliot Rosewater]

5. Comparing them and Fuckface Von Pussygrabber and his nazi friends, makes me sick

But tells me I live in a VERY different country than I thought I did.

A VERY different country than my family members fought in foreign wars for.

[madokie]

9. Joe has always been one of US

thats us in you and I kind of us. Joe Biden is the real deal and always has been and always will be. I love the guy and have ever since he came aboard this ship

[Eliot Rosewater]

10. And his biggest flaw was being too nice, too accepting of the other side.

And some would say that isnt even a flaw.

But at the end of the day it was hard to find a comment from him, just one, showing disrespect to anybody.

[Rhiannon12866]

20. And he has the wonderful ability to make friends with everyone

There is no one, of either party, who has anything negative to say about Joe Biden, they all consider him a friend.

6. can I audit classes? and I love th image of him & Dr Biden grading essays

[In_The_Wind]

7. If you live nearby it would be a gas.

8. Sad to see he's supporting Trump's...

alma mater.

[hunter]

12. WTF?

My own alma mater has graduated a few nasty characters, front page national news nasty characters. No human institution is perfect and anyways it's not a university's job to sort the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Could be worse... could be Stanford.

[anneboleyn]

15. Don't pick on MY alma mater! Neither Stanford or Penn are responsible for assholes like Trump

Keep in mind that Stanford also produced people like Rachel Maddow, for just one example (and myself

21. We're Cal in my family... Berkeley, Los Angeles, etc., but for the occasional practical kids.

My grandma used to send me a hundred dollars a month when I was in school because I was the first university student in her family.

Nobody has ever accused me of practicality. Maybe I should have been a computer scientist, at times I actually lived in the computer labs, but I chose one of the very least lucrative biological sciences instead.

[anneboleyn]

14. I have colleagues who went to Penn. Penn can't be blamed for what Trump became decades

later. He was an undergrad there for a couple of years (he transferred from Fordham), and he was part of an undergraduate program that doesn't exist anymore (everyone thinks he has an MBA from Wharton -- he does not). Penn is an outstanding school, and it's Trump's fault that he wasn't influenced by its environment.

[SticksnStones]

16. Joe's alma mater is University of Delaware, same as Chris Christie

It happens.

[scscholar]

18. That is a stunningly good example

Point taken

[SticksnStones]

19. My nephew just started at U of D

I did some research

[dalton99a]

23. +1

[woodsprite]

30. He's starting a Biden Domestic Policy Center at UD as well.

His office is going to be the beautiful old Blue and Gold Club building in the center of campus. Looking forward to seeing him around. My dept. is hoping to ask him to do a cyber safety blurb in our video to students and staff.

22. Trump was only at Penn for two years.

I don't think that was long enough to tarnish the brand!

[crazycatlady]

27. At least one of his kids (Tiffany) went there

Not sure about the older 3.

[Barack_America]

25. As a Penn grad, I take offense to this.

You're seriously going to trash one of our nation's first and most storied schools over one graduate?

[LibraLiz1973]

31. F Trump. It's also Beau and Ashley's alma mater

And also his granddaughter Naomi.

[hunter]

11. Oh wow. I'll bet he wears it well.

Who wouldn't want to be a student of Joe Biden's?

(Okay, I'm sure there are a few, but I'm glad I'm not them.)

[AgadorSparticus]

13. I cant even imagine being able to take a class from VP Biden

The awesomeness of that is too much.

[Thirsty Tree]

17. I have 2020 Vision

Run, Joe, Run!

[saidsimplesimon]

24. best wishes to former

Vice-President and Mrs. Biden. They serve with honour and dignity.

[3catwoman3]

26. There will be no trouble...

...having those classes filled to capacity.

[IrishEyes]

28. Great news.

He is an really intelligent man with lots of experience. It would be great to take a class with him. University of Pennsylvania is an excellent school. I always wanted to go there. I love that his wife Jill continued to teach as a university professor while he was vice president.

[Bleacher Creature]

29. I truly wish him unlimited success and happiness.

He's one of the most decent people to ever serve this nation.
