US President Joe Biden has also been a professor at the University of Pennsylvania and during this time he did not take a single class. Interestingly, Biden was paid US $ 1 million for two years even without classes. In a joint press conference with Mexican President Lopez Obrador and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Biden said on Tuesday, 'I was a professor at Penn for four years after the term of Vice President.'

The Republican National Committee Research Unit has exposed the mystery of Biden. The research unit told that Biden keeps lying about being a professor. Biden was an honorary professor at the Philadelphia School from 2017-2019. According to an investigative report by the Philadelphia Inquirer, he was paid US$371,159 in 2017 and US$540,484 in 2018 and 2019.

Did not teach complete syllabus

In 2017, Biden accepted an honorary professorship, formally referred to as the "Benjamin Franklin Presidential Practice Professor". He also founded the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement in Washington, in addition to the Biden Institute at his alma mater, the University of Delaware. However, this role was honorary. He gave lectures to the students in the campus, but did not teach the entire semester's syllabus during that time.

After serving as Vice President in Barack Obama's administration, Biden once held the position of honorary professor at the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) from 2017 to 2021. However, he did not teach the syllabus of the semester. He lectured primarily to students, and leads the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement in Washington.

I do not know what is in the documents – Biden

In April 2019, as Biden became the US presidential candidate, the university issued a statement saying, 'Biden has officially announced that he will be a candidate for the presidency of the United States. Several on campus asked how this would affect his role at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement. According to tax papers released by him, the university paid Biden more than US$900,000 between 2017 and 2019 to hold the position.

Biden said that he was surprised to learn that some of his confidential documents were found in the office used as a 'Washington think tank' office. He said that he would cooperate fully in the review of these papers. He said, 'People know that I take confidential documents or confidential information seriously. While my lawyers were looking through the papers in my office at the University of Pennsylvania, they set up a secure office for me in the Capitol.

Biden said, 'When I got information about these documents, I was surprised to know that there was a government record that was taken to that office, but I do not know what is in those papers.'
