Schneider was recruited to the Schar School in 2009 to teach American politics as he was wrapping up his 19-year career at CNN as senior political analyst. Schneider’s experience and expertise fit the faculty profile the school was looking for.

When he asked Leonard Hall, a U.S. representative from New York and former chair of the Republican National Committee, how Barry Goldwater managed to win the nomination to run against Lyndon Johnson in 1964, “He said,” Schneider said, “‘Goldwater's people are the kinds of people who stay until the ends of meetings.’ Which I’ve always used: People who stay for the ends of meetings do well in politics.”��
