In his statement, Mr. Elmendorf said the university had extended the fellowship to Ms. Manning
because she fit the school’s tradition of asking influential people to address students.
When asked by a member of Ms. Manning’s team why Mr. Spicer and Mr. Lewandowski were being endorsed, Mr. Elmendorf said
that they had something to bring to the table, the source said.
