Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will teach a course in foreign policy at Columbia University during the fall 2023 semester, the university announced Wednesday.

Clinton will teach “Inside the Situation Room” alongside School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA) Dean Keren Yarhi-Milo, according to the announcement. The course will give students an inside look into how decisions are made in an international relations scale and use case studies and examine decisions including the search for Osama bin Laden, the “red line” in Syria and negotiations with Iran.

“Through this course, students will think carefully and analytically about how leaders and other actors view the world, how they arrive at their decisions, and how various social, political, and psychological factors shape the policies they devise to promote their interests abroad,” the course description reads.

SIPA announced the course in a video skit that showed numerous students excited to hear that Clinton will be “running again.” Clinton then runs into the classroom and is greeted by Yarhi-Milo, saying she “got here early for the new class we’re doing together on foreign policy decision making.”

“When it comes to crisis situations, you’ve always got to be prepared,” Clinton said, responding to Yarhi-Milo’s comment that classes don’t start until September.

Yarhi-Milo will teach students about the theories that go into decision making and strategy while Clinton will relay what it was like to be inside the situation room, according to the video.

Clinton joined the SIPA faculty in February as a Professor of Practice and a Presidential Fellow at Columbia Worlds Project. She will work with senior administrators “on a variety of major initiatives, especially those focusing on global politics and policy and on supporting female leaders in those arenas.”

Clinton served as Secretary of State under former President Barack Obama and ran two failed presidential campaigns in 2008 and 2016. She received an honorary degree from Columbia University in 2022.

The course goal is to “give students a holistic understanding of the many facets of foreign policy decision-making.”

“As future participants in the policy process, this course will provide vital background that they can draw on should they, too, find themselves facing high-pressure decisions with implications for national security and global stability,” the description reads. “It will also enhance their ability to counsel intelligence officers, military leaders, advisors, or other government officials by improving their ability to anticipate other actors’ actions, perceptions, and motivations.”

The course is available to Columbia SIPA students and undergraduate students from Columbia College, Barnard College and the Columbia University School of General Studies. It is application only.

Columbia University and Yarhi-Milo did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Question: Why do the political and corporate leaders of America – long the freest, most successful, most prosperous and most Christian nation in history – bow and scrape before China, a ruthless, communist, totalitarian and explicitly atheistic dictatorship openly committed to ruling the world, including America?

The astonishing answers come into focus only when one contemplates both the unprecedented level of political and financial corruption in America’s ruling class (multiple Biden family members received $31 million in payola from China), and simultaneously the communist Chinese government’s brilliantly devious methods of unconventional total warfare, by which China is stealthily infiltrating, subverting, corrupting and colonizing the United States of America.

The China threat has rarely been more dramatically or pointedly documented than in the sensational March issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled “HOW CHINA IS CONQUERING AMERICA.” Whistleblower is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
