Prof Prez
BY LOGAN HILL
NYU's reputation as a party school is about to be burnished. Late this
summer, after members of Bill Clinton's legal team paid visits to the
office of law-school dean and university president-elect John Sexton, the
campus was alive with rumors of Bubba's imminent arrival -- some even
believed that Sexton might make him dean of the law school (ironic, as Ken
Starr is an adjunct faculty member).
Now Clinton's Harlem office has confirmed that the former president will
lecture at NYU this fall. He also plans to speak at the London School of
Economics and at Oxford, where Chelsea is doing a postgraduate stint and
where, as one critic put it, he "didn't inhale, didn't get drafted, and
didn't get a degree."
Clinton's press secretary, Julia Payne, also says that "extraordinary
offers" from Harvard and Columbia are pending. ("I heard he ruled out
Columbia at first," says a Clinton friend, "because Gore was there.")
"It's obvious that Clinton does genuinely take a great deal of pleasure in
the company of the young," notes Oxford professor Alan Ryan. "But chatting
over dinner, he made it quite clear he expects to make a colossal amount of
money very fast. He said that Bush's tax cuts would be 'good for people who
are as rich as I'm about to be.' "
So Professor Clinton is strictly part-time. "Right now," says Clinton
friend and former Mattel chairman Bill Rollnick, "he needs dough. When I
talked to him about being mayor, he practically flung me out the window."
Sexton, who advised Clinton in office, met stiff resistance when he tried
to schedule lectures for the former president last spring, but now the
problems seem to be forgotten -- if not forgiven. "He certainly won't be
the worst teacher on the faculty," gripes one law professor, "but ethical
standards are important, and Clinton will have a hard time projecting
that."
