Fauci retired as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the end of December 2022, but said he intended to remain in public life by writing a memoir and becoming affiliated with a university. Georgetown, which happens to be where Fauci and his wife got married in 1985, took the bait.

It’s insulting enough that Fauci, who repeatedly misled the American people, is collecting a pension worth more than the president’s annual salary. To be labeled a “distinguished professor” by the oldest Catholic school in the country and cash in on his horrific handling of the Covid-19 pandemic makes it even worse. Georgetown claims that Fauci earned the position due to his decades of public service; have they forgotten that the Jesuit tradition also requires the seeking of truth?
