Clinton's Next Job?
LONDON (Reuters) - Several heads of
colleges at Oxford University favor the appointment of President
Clinton as next Chancellor of the prestigious British university,
the Sunday Express newspaper reported.
Clinton had the academic
credentials and stature for the job and would "do wonders'' for
university fund-raising, the newspaper quoted Clinton supporters at
the university as saying.
"It's vital that Oxford maintains
its worldwide profile and nothing could beat having President
Clinton as Chancellor,'' a senior Oxford college head said.
The Express gave no indication that
formal moves were underway to get Clinton the job, but it quoted a
spokesman for him as saying he would give it every consideration if
it was offered to him after he steps down as president in January.
Clinton, who studied at Oxford in
the 1960s as a Rhodes scholar, was said earlier this year to be
house-hunting in the Oxford area in preparation for when he leaves
the White House.
