In a statement, the former FBI director said he was "thrilled" to have the chance to teach students.

“I am thrilled to have the chance to engage with William & Mary students about a vital topic — ethical leadership,” Comey said in a statement.

“Ethical leaders lead by seeing above the short term, above the urgent or the partisan, and with a higher loyalty to lasting values, most importantly the truth. Building and maintaining that kind of leadership, in both the private sector and government, is the challenge of our time."

Comey led a lecture series at Howard University in the fall, as well as delivering the school's convocation address in September.

The former FBI chief received a chilly reception at the historically black institution in the fall when student protesters interrupted his speech with demonstrations against law enforcement and the FBI.
