In May 2008 he was elected a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters.[36] In 2014, he taught a seminar on British Literature and served as the 2015 keynote speaker[37][38] In September 2015, he joined the New York University Journalism Faculty as a Distinguished Writer in Residence.[39] Rushdie was due to appear at the Jaipur Literature Festival in January 2012.[89] However, he later cancelled his event appearance, and a further tour of India at the time citing a possible threat to his life as the primary reason.[90][91] Several days after, he indicated that state police agencies had lied, in order to keep him away, when they informed him that paid assassins were being sent to Jaipur to kill him.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-3809.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-3809.txt
