Former representative Liz Cheney became unemployed on Jan. 3, 2023. She hunted around for a job and found one about 90 miles from her former place of employment, in Virginia. Specifically, she is now a professor at the University of Virginia's Center for Politics. She will give lectures to students and to the public and will participate in the Center's research program.
Cheney made a statement when her appointment was announced yesterday: "I am delighted to be joining the UVA Center for Politics as a Professor of Practice. Preserving our constitutional republic is the most important work of our time, and our nation's young people will play a crucial role in this effort. I look forward to working with students and colleagues at the Center to advance the important work they and others at the University of Virginia are doing to improve the health of democracy here and around the world." Prof. Larry Sabato, director of the Center, called Cheney a true profile in courage.
Cheney is no stranger to Virginia. She grew up there and went to McLean High School in Fairfax County, VA, although she left the state to go to college in Colorado and law school at the University of Chicago. (V)
