Former U. S. Representative Beto O'Rourke will be joining the faculty at Texas State University in San Marcos in the spring. The university confirmed O'Rourke will be teaching Texas politics in the spring 2021 semester, pending finalization of his hiring. O'Rourke previously ran for Senate against incumbent Ted Cruz, and launched a campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination that eventually went to former Vice President Joe Biden.
Sad, they could have hired an impoverished Marxist final year grad student instead.
And not chase clout? Sorry but that is not how university president Denise Trauth rolls.
