Joe Biden was a Professor!
"Penn has many different models of professorships." Ron Ozio, the university’s director of media relations.
"Not all are tenure-track and involve teaching regular classes. Some are clinicians, some are researchers, and others are professors of the practice, the category that applied to President Biden."
"President Biden was phenomenally successful." Ozio said, "He helped to expand the university’s global outreach, while sharing his wisdom and insights with thousands of Penn students
through University-wide events, talks and classroom visits."
And Donald Trump swindled "students" at his Scam University!
"Trump settles fraud case against Trump University for $25M."
"More than 5,000 people across the country who paid Donald Trump $40 million to teach them his hard-sell tactics got a hard lesson in bait-and-switch.
Mr. Trump used his celebrity status and personally appeared in commercials making false promises to convince people to spend tens of thousands of dollars
they couldn't afford for lessons they never got."

Joe Biden was a Professor!Yep, Biden received the nickname professor for his prestige of being a well known politician figure.
Snip
“But Penn probably didn’t pay Biden for what he would bring to the classroom or lecture hall, according to higher-education experts. Instead, the school was likely paying for something less tangible: the prestige of associating with a former vice president and senator who had burnished his reputation as a global figure.
“I know that it sounds like a really big salary for not teaching, and that’s right, but even if he were teaching, that’s not the value that Penn is hoping to get from having him associated with them,” said Temple University’s Douglas Webber, who studies the economics of higher education. “They’re wanting prestige, they’re wanting to brag about this to donors. Penn plays with big money donors, and if this moves the needle even a little bit in terms of getting a big donation, then it’s instantly worth the investment.”

LurkerMom: Yep, Biden received the nickname professor...
No, he did not, and it's right there in your own linked article: "Biden’s official title was the Benjamin Franklin Presidential Practice Professor..."
OFFICIAL TITLE, not nickname.

Of course it is not a nickname, that is what makes LM's comment funny.
You really don't have a sense of humor, do you?

LOL..same difference. OldJoe was given the nickname title not because he was smart,
but because of his name recognition, so Penn could profit off Joe’s name, you know like
Hunter using “the Brand” that brought the most value to the name.

I guess not, since LurkerMom has been arguing for two straight days that Biden was not a professor.

Some here just cannot tell when I’m joking or being serious.
The reactions though from some keeps me laughing.
Always quick to defend Joe.
