Former German foreign minister Joschka Fischer has been extended an offer to join the University's faculty, according to reports in the German media."It is true that I have received an offer from Princeton University, but I have not yet taken a decision," he told the German newspaper Handelsblatt in January.Fischer, who never finished college and has been criticized for his role in violent activism in the 1970s, has reportedly received a similar offer from Harvard.Wilson School officials contacted by The Daily Princetonian declined to comment on the reports."As a matter of policy, we don't comment on personnel matters, or respond to rumors," Wilson School Assistant Dean of Public Affairs Steve Barnes said in an email.University officials also declined to comment on reports that Fischer was in town last week to discuss the possibility of a faculty appointment.In a speech delivered at Princeton in November 2003, Fischer spoke of the incredible potential of the European Union and of the need for cooperation between the United States and Europe in order to achieve world peace.At the time, Wilson School professor Wolfgang Danspeckgruber called Fischer the "quintessential foreign policy maker of Europe"
