‘Prof.’ Comey ethics course

Ousted FBI director James Comey will teach a class on ethical leadership at his alma mater, the College of William & Mary, according to a new report.

Comey, 57 — who was fired last year by President Trump — will begin a nontenured position as an executive professor of education, officials at the Williamsburg, Va., public college told The Washington Post on Friday.

His course — offered for the fall 2018, spring 2019 and summer 2019 semesters — will be available to students of the school’s Washington Center, according to the report. Executive assistant professor Drew Stelljes will co-teach the class.

“I am thrilled to have the chance to engage with William & Mary students about a vital topic — ethical leadership,” Comey said in a statement to the paper. “Ethical leaders lead by see- ing above the short term, above the urgent or the partisan, and with a higher loyalty to lasting values, most importantly the truth. Building and maintaining that kind of leadership, in both the private sector and government, is the challenge of our time. There is no better place to teach and learn about it than the W&M Washington Program.”

Comey earned his bachelor’s degree from William & Mary in 1982, with a double major in chemistry and religion. The school awarded him an honorary doctor of laws degree in 2008. He also earned a law degree from the University of Chicago in 1985.

Adam Anthony, executive director of William & Mary’s Washington Center, said Comey has hosted the school’s students at least three times at the FBI.
