Former FBI Director James Comey will be moonlighting as a lecturer at Howard University in Washington, DC, starting this fall.
The university said in a statement that Comey would speak at the school’s convocation September 22 and take on a part-time role as a lecturer that will last for one year, Politico reported.
“I am pleased to welcome Mr. Comey to Howard,” Howard University President Wayne A.I. Frederick said in a statement. “His expertise and understanding of the challenges we continue to face today will go a long way in sparking rich discussion and advancing meaningful debates across campus.”
The university added that Comey would deliver five lectures on public policy-related topics throughout his one-year term.
The position carries a $100,000 salary, but Comey said he would donate the money to Howard University’s scholarship fund.
Trump fired Comey as FBI Director in May after seeking recommendations from Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.
Since his ouster, Comey snagged a book deal in August for an unspecified amount of money, although negotiations with publishers topped $2 million. The book would be about “leadership and decision-making” and would discuss his career in public service.
The book is expected to be published in Spring 2018.
