VIRGINIA BEACH -- Former U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft will teach at Regent University for two weeks a semester for the next five years, according to the Christian school's law dean.
"I think it's a huge opportunity for our students," Dean Jeffrey A. Brauch said Thursday. "They'll study national security law from the man who commanded the justice system's response to 9/11."
Ashcroft, 62, left office last month. He will come to Regent for a week next month, then begin his two-week commitment in the summer at the university's program in Strasbourg, France.
"He has a teacher's heart," Brauch said. Ashcroft not only will lecture, but also will spend time with students outside of classes, he said.
Regent was founded by evangelist Pat Robertson. Ashcroft is a member of the Assemblies of God denomination.
