Former AfD Leader Jörg Meuthen Returns to Teaching in January

Meuthen, who left the AfD in 2022, will resume his academic role at Kehl University amid some controversy.

Jörg Meuthen, former head of the AfD, will begin teaching 18 semester hours at Kehl University starting January 2025.
Meuthen's return follows his resignation from the AfD due to ideological differences and his subsequent tenure as an independent MEP.
His academic position was on hold since 2016 due to his political career, but legal obligations require the university to reinstate him.
Some opposition to his return has been noted, with concerns raised by the group 'Aufstehen gegen Rassismus'.
The university's rector emphasized Meuthen's commitment to neutrality and highlighted his past positive evaluations as an educator.
