evidence: Thursday was not the first time he brandished his supposed credentials as a former professor at the University of Pennsylvania. After leaving the White House, Biden was given the title Benjamin Franklin Presidential Practice Professor at the University of Pennsylvania. Biden's claim to have been a professor has been looked into previously, with Snopes determining in April 2022 that "this role was honorary." While Biden held the honorary post, he made about $900,000. He gave roughly a dozen lectures and talks but never taught a full semester’s course. Nor did he conduct any research or have any administrative responsibilities.
