I'm afraid I still don't get how an academic appointment would hurt Clinton's prospects. We are talking about the 2016 presidential election. The actual act of running, intensely so, will occupy 2016 and a bit of 2015. She can easily take an academic appointment of some sort between now and then and the election not present itself as a time problem. Since it's not unknown for academics to campaign for office, it's not hard to see her campaigning in a less intense mode even before that point. And there are any number of academic appointments which won't require full time work. So I still don't see the problem. Your point about Republican students attending those schools is not clear. Of course they do but her campaigning certainly won't affect their studies. They can take a course she offers, while she is doing low level campaigning, though it will be very hard to enroll. Those classes will be packed. As for doing things political on campus, she can do whatever she wishes. Her employment contract won't eliminate her citizenship, which in turn permits and even encourages political participation. You're thinking about a different campus world that the ones I see.
