[struggle4progress]

... Blair is to give five lectures to a class of 25 students between now and the end of the year, then repeat the schedule for two more years, Yale spokesmen told AFP ...

In addition to paying Blair a "nominal fee," Yale is donating 200,000 dollars (138,000 euros, 109,000 pounds) to the <Tony Blair Faith> foundation, university spokeswoman Helaine Klasky said.

Since quitting politics Blair has landed a range of lucrative part-time work, including consultancies for investment bank JPMorgan and Swiss insurer Zurich. He is reported to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars for speaking appearances ...

The lectures Blair is delivering will last only 1-1/2 hours and he is not going to be involved in seminars ...
