Ya, because Condoleezza Rice is such a poor candidate for role model....
"Condoleezza Rice, the Thomas and Barbara Stephenson Senior Fellow
at the Hoover Institution, was confirmed as U.S. Secretary of State on
January 26.
She is on leave from the Hoover Institution. In December 2000, she was
appointed by President George W. Bush to be Assistant to the President
for National Security Affairs.
Rice served as a Hoover senior fellow from 1991 until 1993, when she was
appointed provost of Stanford University. She held the position of provost
for six years, during which time she served as the chief academic and budget
officer of the university, before stepping down on July 1, 1999.
Rice first came to Stanford in 1981 as a fellow in the arms control and
disarmament program. She is a tenured professor in the university's political
science department and was a Hoover Institution national fellow from 1985
until 1986.
Following her initial Hoover Institution affiliation, Rice went to Washington,
D.C. to work on nuclear strategic planning at the Joint Chiefs of Staff as part
of a Council on Foreign Relations fellowship. She came back to Stanford
when the fellowship ended.
Rice returned to Washington in 1989 when she was director of Soviet and
East European affairs with the National Security Council. She also was
appointed special assistant to the president for national security affairs and
senior director for Soviet affairs at the National Security Council under
President George Bush. In those roles, she helped bring democratic reforms
to Poland, and played a vital role in crafting many of the Bush administration's
policies with the former Soviet Union.
Rice's professional activities at Stanford have not been limited to the university.
She cofounded the Center for a New Generation, an after-school academy in
East Palo Alto, California, and was a corporate board member for Chevron,
the Hewlett Foundation, and Charles Schwab.
She has written numerous articles and several books on international relations
and foreign affairs, including Germany Unified and Europe Transformed: A
Study in Statecraft, with Philip Zelikow (Harvard University Press, 1995).
Rice enrolled at the University of Denver at the age of 15, graduating at 19
with a bachelor's degree in political science (cum laude). She earned a master's
degree at the University of Notre Dame and a doctorate degree from the
University of Denver's Graduate School of International Studies. Both of her
advanced degrees are also in political science."
