According to her Wikipedia page, Chelsea Manning spent 1 semester studying History and English at Montgomery Community College in Maryland but dropped out after failing her first final. She got her first job with a software company called Zoto, but was fired after 4 months because her boss said she would “just lock up and simply sit and stare.” Manning then served a short stint at Incredible Pizza before joining the army, stealing a bunch of classified documents, leaking them to WikiLeaks, getting convicted of espionage and serving 7 years in prison. Of course, with an impressive resume like that, Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government simply had to have her.
That said, while securing a visiting fellow position at Harvard was just the natural progression of what has been an already illustrious career for Manning, not everyone agrees with Harvard’s most recent staffing decisions.
As Fox News points out, Former CIA Acting Director Michael Morell announced his resignation earlier today as senior fellow saying he couldn’t be associated with an organization “that honors a convicted felon and leaker of classified information.”
